I do parlay just for fun, or if I can get higher odds betting parlay. For example, bet365 bonus for parlay.

For parlay, the more leg you add the more edge for the bookmaker, for example. Odds of 1.91 and 1.91.
That's around 4.5% for the bookmaker.

But, say I wanna bet OKC, SAS, LAL on point spread.
I would do better parlaying three of them. Because of the bonus from bet365.com
However, if the parlay is not just for fun, then you have to do proper staking.
Because with parlay, the chance of winning is lower.

But everyone is to their own, theyhave their own way. And I doubt that what are they doing are going to affect my life.
I have my own. You have your own view.

Sorry I think mathematically was a poor choice of words by me, statistically would be more appropriate.

It may sound strange but the edge is exploitable if you make educated guesses.

For example a blackjack game can be exploited if you can count cards, the edge is in your favour by a small margin but it's no guarantee that you will win. I've split aces and stood on 17 but at the end of the day the basic strategy is only a guide. Only your experience and understanding of the game can help you hopefully make the right decision.

Also it's not like people don't win lotto, it happens all the time. I think for a few members on this forum and many others we are the exception that defy the odds and beat the house time and time again.
