How parlays work
By [Author], PureWager Guides. 5 min read
A parlay joins two or more bets into one. Every leg has to win, and in return the odds multiply, so a small stake can pay much more than the same picks bet one at a time.
How the odds multiply
Turn each price into decimal odds, multiply them, and that is the parlay price.
Here is a 3-leg example from today's board:
| Leg | Odds | Decimal |
|---|---|---|
| Liberty moneyline moneyline, Liberty at Dream | +106 | 2.063 |
| Over 156.5 total, Aces at Valkyries | −128 | 1.779 |
| Buccaneers moneyline moneyline, Buccaneers at Cowboys | +306 | 4.059 |
| 3-leg parlay | +1390 | 14.896 |
A $10.00 parlay at 14.896 returns $148.96: your $10.00 back plus $138.96 in winnings. Bet as three separate $10.00 singles, the same picks would win $49.01 if all three won.
Same game parlays
A same game parlay takes every leg from one game. Because some outcomes go together, like a team winning and its quarterback throwing for 225 yards, the price is set for the combination, not by simple multiplication.

Do all legs have to win?
Yes. If one leg loses, the parlay loses. If a leg is voided, it drops out and the parlay pays at the odds of the legs left.
Betting rulesWhat is a same game parlay?
A parlay with every leg from one game, like a team to win plus a player prop. Prices account for legs that tend to win together.
