Definition
A parlay, also known as a combo bet, is
a "selection of two or more wagering outcomes".
All of the teams wagered on must win for the play to be active.
If any one team loses, the entire wager is lost altogether.
You may combine different sports, pointspreads and moneylines
in win/loss and/or totals betting. You may also buy points
in betting a parlay. If there is a tie or cancellation, the
parlay reverts to the next lowest number. For example, a 3-team
parlay becomes a 2-team parlay. In the event of a tie in a
2-team parlay, the play becomes a straight bet. A "Combo"
is the same as a parlay, except this term is used more commonly
in soccer. A "Combo" bet is simply more than one
selection from the games listed - usually from the soccer
leagues. As in a parlay, you need to predict the result after
90 minutes of play (golden goals and overtime goals do not
count) of all games that you pick. Ties reduce.
Payouts
Fixed Odds (No moneylines)
In fixed odds bets, the odds are fixed at standard odds -110
or 10% juice ($110 bet winning $100). The fixed odds are set
according to the chart below and only apply to football and
basketball pointspreads or totals. All the picks must have
standard odds. If any of the picks involve other sports, Moneylines,
Buy Points or off-standard lines (-115, etc.), then the parlay
becomes subject to True Odds.
Football and Basketball
2 TEAM 2.6/1
3 TEAM 6/1
4 TEAM 12/1
5 TEAM 25/1
6 TEAM 35/1
7 TEAM 75/1
8 TEAM 100/1
9 TEAM 150/1
10 TEAM 300/1
11 TEAM 450/1
12 TEAM 600/1
True Odds
To calculate the true odds payoff, simply convert the moneyline
or odds to a multiplier (by going to the calculation table),
and then multiply your bet by the product of the multipliers.
For example, if you make a $10 parlay on two picks with true
odds of -140 converts to 1.71 and odds of +120 converts to
2.20. Therefore, your payout is as follows: 10 x 1.71 x 2.20
= $37.62. Note that this payout includes your original wager,
so the net win in this example would be $27.62.
Rules
1. A tie in a parlay reduces the number of plays in the
parlay. For example, if a 4-play parlay has two ties, then
it will become a 2-play parlay and the payout will be recalculated
based on the new number of plays. A 2-play parlay with one
tie will reduce to a straight bet. In the case that a parlay
is reduced to zero plays, the entire wager will be cancelled
and the whole bet amount refunded.
2. All propositions must cover for the parlay to be considered
a win (exception: ties reduce, see above). If any proposition
loses, the entire parlay will be considered a loss. There
are no partial payouts.
3. Games not played on the date specified are considered "No
Action" and reduce the parlay to the next lowest number
of plays.
For Example: A 6-play parlay will be reduced to a 5-play parlay,
a 2-play parlay will be reduced to a straight wager. Payouts
are adjusted accordingly.
4. Spreads and totals for the same game may not be included
in the same parlay for baseball, hockey, soccer and certain
football games.
