How To Combine Same Game Parlays On FanDuel (SGP+)
A single same game parlay combines multiple bets from one game, like a player's points and rebounds, into one priced ticket. FanDuel's Same Game Parlay Plus (SGP+) goes a step further: it lets you combine legs from different games onto one ticket, whether that means chaining two full same game parlays together or bolting a loose leg onto one SGP. The upside is a bigger payout. The catch is that every extra leg still has to hit. This guide walks through how to build an SGP+ the disciplined way, starting from the legs the math likes and stacking up from there.

In Summary (TL;DR)
- SGP+ is FanDuel's feature for parlaying multiple same game parlays (across different games) onto one ticket.
- Build the ticket leg-first, not payout-first: find the plays with the best projected win chance before you decide how big to go.
- OddsShopper's free projections let you sort every leg by expected win % and compare the projection to the sportsbook's posted line, so you only add legs with real edge.
- You are not forced to pair full SGPs, so you can take one SGP and bolt on a single extra leg from another game.
- More legs means a bigger number and a lower hit rate, so shop the finished ticket and keep it to the legs you actually believe in.
What Same Game Parlay Plus Actually Is
A normal same game parlay ties together bets from one game, say a player's points and rebounds, into a single priced ticket. For years, that was the ceiling: one game per SGP. SGP+ removes that wall. Now you can take an SGP from one game and an SGP from a completely different game and parlay those two tickets together into one bigger bet, or attach a single outside leg to one SGP. The walkthrough below pairs a Maxi Kleber same game parlay with a Jazz vs Pelicans one.
New to building the individual tickets? Start with our walkthrough on how to build a same game parlay; SGP+ assumes you already know how to assemble one SGP and are ready to combine several. The mechanics are identical. The only new decision is which same game parlays are worth chaining together, and that decision is where most players go wrong.
Start With The Legs, Not The Ticket
The instinct with SGP+ is to chase the payout: keep adding legs until the number looks fun. That is backwards. Before you open FanDuel, the question is not "how big can I make this," it is "which of tonight's legs are actually priced in my favor." Answer that first and the ticket builds itself. That job belongs to OddsShopper's free tool, which grades every leg on two filters:
- Sort by expected win percentage, largest to smallest, and the strongest plays float to the top. In the walkthrough, the Maxi Kleber game jumped out immediately, with one leg in it projected at an 83% win chance because Kristaps Porzingis was out. The raw board hides that kind of edge, but the projections surface it.
- Compare the projection to the posted line. Kleber's rebounds projected at 6.9 with the FanDuel line sitting at over 5.5, so the number was in your favor on both the point total and the boards. When the projection clears the line with room to spare, the leg belongs in the SGP+. When it doesn't, no payout is big enough to justify it.
Work each game top to bottom, keep the two or three legs per matchup that clear the bar, then build and price the parlay on FanDuel. The OddsShopper parlay builder is where you assemble those legs and compare parlay prices while you decide which ones make the ticket.
Worked Example: Combining An NBA SGP+ Ticket
Here is one SGP+ from the walkthrough, built entirely from legs that cleared the projection filter. Two separate same game parlays from that night's slate, chained into one ticket (the rosters have since changed, but the build logic is the point):
| Leg | Bet | Same game parlay |
|---|---|---|
| Maxi Kleber Points | Over 7.5 | SGP #1 |
| Maxi Kleber Rebounds | Over 5.5 | SGP #1 |
| Mike Conley Rebounds | Under 3.5 | SGP #2 (Jazz vs Pelicans) |
| Royce O'Neale Rebounds | Under 5.5 | SGP #2 (Jazz vs Pelicans) |
The interesting leg is the Kleber rebounds: a 6.9 projection against a 5.5 line is well over a full board of cushion, which is why it anchored the whole ticket rather than a flashier prop with a thinner edge. Adding the Jazz vs Pelicans unders, Mike Conley's rebounds (73% projected to stay under) and Royce O'Neale's, pushed FanDuel's price on the combined four-leg SGP+ to +756. That is the entire pitch of SGP+: two ordinary same game parlays that would each pay a modest number become one ticket that returns better than 7-to-1, without adding a single leg you didn't already like.

You Don't Have To Pair Full SGPs
Here is the part most SGP+ explainers miss: the feature does not force you to combine two complete same game parlays. If you liked Mike Conley's rebounds under but had no read on Royce O'Neale, you are not stuck taking both.
You can build your one real SGP — Kleber over 7.5 points and over 5.5 rebounds — and then add a single extra leg from another game, Conley under 3.5 rebounds, for a clean three-leg ticket that is one same game parlay plus one standalone selection. Or add O'Neale back in once the projection confirms him, and you are right back at that +756 number. SGP+ is a menu, not a mandate: pair two full tickets, or attach one loose leg to one SGP. Build it around the legs you trust, and let the structure follow.
Where SGP+ Can Cost You
The reason SGP+ pays so well is the reason it is dangerous: every leg you add multiplies the price, and it multiplies the ways the ticket can bust. A four-leg SGP+ that pays +756 also needs all four legs to land, and books price those legs together rather than independently. That means an SGP or SGP+ number is not automatically the fair price the way a straight bet is, so don't assume a fat payout is a good one.
Leg-first discipline matters more here than on a straight bet for exactly that reason. For the full breakdown of why the same SGP pays differently across books and how the correlation tax works, our same game parlay strategy guide covers it, and the NFL same game parlay guide shows the same logic in football. The rule that survives every sport: only chain legs where the projection beats the posted line, and shop the finished ticket before you fire it. Any leg that is there only to fatten the payout is the leg that busts the bet.
The one-line rule for SGP+: if a leg would not make your bet slip on its own, it does not belong on the combined ticket just because it makes the payout prettier.
FAQ
What is a same game parlay plus (SGP+)? It is a FanDuel feature that lets you parlay multiple same game parlays, from different games, into one ticket. Instead of one SGP per game, you combine several SGPs (or one SGP plus a standalone leg) into a single larger bet.
How is SGP+ different from a regular same game parlay? A regular SGP only combines legs from one game. SGP+ combines legs across multiple games, so you can stack two same game parlays, or one SGP plus a single outside leg, onto one slip.
Do I have to combine two full same game parlays? No. You can take one same game parlay and add a single extra leg from a different game. The feature works with as few as one SGP plus one outside selection.
How do I find good legs for an SGP+? Sort the board by projected win percentage and compare each projection to the sportsbook's posted line. Add only the legs where the projection clears the line with room to spare, then let the parlay builder price the ticket.
Are same game parlay plus bets worth it? They can be when every leg independently clears its projection, because you are combining edges you already liked into one price. They are a trap when you add legs just to inflate the number, since each extra leg lowers the chance the whole ticket hits.
Build Your Same Game Parlay Plus The Smart Way
The best SGP+ tickets get built the boring way: sort the board by expected win percentage, keep only the legs whose projection clears the posted line, build your first same game parlay, then add a second game's legs only if they clear the same bar. That workflow is exactly what the walkthrough shows, and it is what OddsShopper speeds up. It grades every leg by projected win chance so the plays worth parlaying rise to the top, and its parlay builder helps you assemble and compare the ticket before you fire it.
