Understanding Parlay Bets

🎯

What is a Parlay?

A parlay (or accumulator) combines multiple bets into one. All selections must win for the bet to pay out. Higher risk, but much higher potential reward.

3-leg parlay: all 3 must win

How Odds Multiply

Each selection's odds multiply together. A 2-leg parlay with 2.00 odds each becomes 4.00 combined odds (2.00 × 2.00).

2.00 × 2.00 = 4.00 combined
📉

Why Probability Drops Fast

Each leg multiplies the difficulty. Three 50% bets combine to just 12.5% (0.5 × 0.5 × 0.5). This is why parlays are risky.

50% × 50% × 50% = 12.5%
💡

Parlay Strategy Tips

Keep parlays small (2-4 legs). Each added leg dramatically increases risk. Consider round robins to reduce variance.

2-3 legs is optimal

Pro Tips

📏

Keep Parlays Small

Each leg you add dramatically reduces win probability. Stick to 2-4 selections for a reasonable chance of winning.

🚫

Avoid Correlated Legs

Don't combine bets that depend on each other (like team to win and player to score). Sportsbooks often void these anyway.

🎲

Consider Round Robins

If you have 4+ confident picks, a round robin gives you multiple ways to win instead of all-or-nothing.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A parlay (also called accumulator, multi, or combo) combines multiple individual bets into one. All selections must win for the parlay to pay out. The potential payout is higher than betting each selection individually, but the risk is also higher.
Parlay odds are calculated by multiplying the decimal odds of each selection together. For example, three selections at 2.00, 1.50, and 2.50 would give combined odds of 7.50 (2.00 × 1.50 × 2.50).
If any single selection in your parlay loses, the entire parlay loses. This is what makes parlays risky - you need a perfect record. Some sportsbooks offer parlay insurance or reduced payouts for near-misses.
Parlays offer exciting potential payouts but have negative expected value due to compounding bookmaker margins. Professional bettors typically avoid large parlays. If you do bet parlays, keep them small (2-4 legs) and only bet money you can afford to lose.
A round robin breaks your selections into multiple smaller parlays. For example, 3 selections can become three 2-team parlays. This reduces risk because you can still win if one selection loses, but requires more stake.
odds
Both combine multiple bets, but teasers let you adjust the point spread in your favor in exchange for lower odds. Parlays use the original lines. Teasers are mainly for football and basketball.
