What is a Parlay in Sports Betting?

When placing bets at a sportsbook, there are two main types of bets available: straight bets and parlay bets. A straight bet is a simple wager on a single event, while a parlay bet is a wager on multiple events. If you’re interested in just normal bets, our best bets tool is the place for you.

A parlay bet is essentially a combination of two or more straight bets, and all selections must win for the bettor to win. While these bets generally have higher payouts than straight bets, the win percentage is much lower, as all selections must be correct to win the bet. This means that while a parlay bet can lead to a big payout, it is also a riskier bet than a straight wager.

Parlay bets cover many leagues inluding CFB, MLB, NFL & UFC.

Some sportsbooks also offer a special type of parlay bet known as a "same-game parlay," or SGP. This allows bettors to get action on multiple outcomes within a single game, such as the winner, the total points scored, and the first touchdown, basket or goal scorer. SGPs often have worse odds than regular parlays due to sportsbook adjustments for correlation, making them even riskier.

While parlay bets can be exciting and potentially lead to a big payout, it is generally recommended that bettors place most of their bets as straight wagers. Straight bets have a higher win percentage and offer a better chance of making a profit in the long run. These bets should be used sparingly and only when the bettor feels confident in their selections -- or the bettor is looking more for entertainment than for profit.

What Is the Parlay Builder?

A parlay's payout is whatever the books say — the legs are where the edge is. The Parlay Builder grades every available leg at your sportsbook against the de-vigged market consensus and surfaces the picks priced in your favor, so the parlay you build is made of bets that are each mathematically strong on their own.

How to Use It

  1. Pick your sportsbook and state — every leg is priced at the book you'll actually bet.
  2. Add legs from the board — sorted by edge, with each leg's EV and true odds shown.
  3. Place the ticket — your combined odds and payout update as you build, with one-tap links to the book.

Check any slip's math with the parlay calculator, explore correlated builds with the same game parlay tool, or compare prices on the odds screen before you lock it in.

Parlay Builder FAQ

How are the legs graded?

Every leg is priced against the live market: the odds on both sides are de-vigged into a true win probability, and a leg is +EV when your sportsbook pays more than that probability justifies. The board sorts legs by that edge so the strongest picks surface first.

Are parlays smart bets?

Parlays built from standard-priced legs compound the sportsbook’s juice against you. But the math cuts both ways: legs that are individually +EV compound in your favor too, which is exactly what this builder is for — same parlay thrill, mathematically stronger ticket.

Which sportsbooks does it support?

Every major legal sportsbook in your state. Pick your book and the builder grades and prices every leg at that book, with one-tap links to place the ticket.

What about same game parlays?

Legs inside the same game are correlated, and sportsbooks price them with special models rather than simple multiplication. This builder combines legs across different games; for correlated builds, use the dedicated same game parlay tool.
