Parlays

6 Teams | 45/1 |
7 Teams | 90/1 |
8 Teams | 175/1 |
9 Teams | 350/1 |
10 Teams | 700/1 |
For all football and basketball parlays involving a point line that
deviates from -110, parlays will be calculated as follows:
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.
Acceptance of all parlays is at the discretion of management.
