All Football and Basketball Parlays

Multiply the respective Pay Table Multiplier (shown below) by the True Odds Multiplier of the number (other than -110) minus the True Odds Differential (shown below).

For example, on a four-team parlay with Team A -4 -110, Team B +7 -110, Team C -5 -110 and Team D -3 -120 the parlay calculates as follows:

1.8612 x 1.8612 x 1.8612 x 1.7854 = 11.50 for 1, 10.50 to 1

Money Line Parlays

Money line parlay payoffs, like those in baseball, hockey and other money line wagers are calculated by multiplying the decimal equivalent of each money line by the amount wagered.

Maximum payoff on off the board parlays is 300/1 for eight (8) or fewer teams and 800/1 for nine (9) or ten (10) team parlays.

In case of a wagering tie or no action, parlays are reduced to next lowest number of teams, including to a straight bet.
