Vegas Parlay Payouts
A parlay calculator is a betting tool that aids gaming investors find out the odds and results of a parlay bet. A parlay, also known as an accumulator, is 1 bet whose results are usually determined by 2 or even more underlying bets.
Turning $5 into $100,000 is something that mostly everyone wishes they could do. A 2 team parlay might pay 13/5, a three team parlay might pay 6/1, a four team parlay might pay 10/1, and so forth with the payouts getting higher with more teams or totals selected. For a single bet, 2 to 8 teams or totals can be selected. In order for the parlay bet to win, every one of the wagers must win or push (tie).
When successful, it offers greater returns to the investor since it links up many events for a higher payout. If the parlay is to win, each of the bets must win. If one happens to lose, then the whole bet ends up in a loss, regardless of the outcome of all the other games.
How Do Other Results Affect Parlay Results?
There are other results that can affect the parlay results such as:
- A tie
- Game postponement
- Cancellation
- An incomplete game
- Rescheduling.
As long as there is no loss, the wagers typically revert to the next lowest number.
How to Use a Betting Odds Calculator

When using a parlay odds calculator like the one above, all you need to do is enter the correct figure of odds in the table. In most cases, you are only allowed to enter numbers and nothing else.
From here, you will be required to type in the money lines for each bet you place as well as the total amount you would like to wager. Once everything is in place, just hit the calculate button. The payout field will give you the results of the amount that you will end up getting if each of the parlay games wins. If there are other parlay odds that you would like to calculate, just click on the reset all button and start the process all over again.
There are some calculators that will give you choices on how to display all the odds such as:
- Decimal odds
- American odds
- Fractional odds.
It can be very confusing trying to calculate parlay payouts on your own mainly because you are dealing with multiple teams. There is no need trying to wreck your brain over this because you can simply use the beneficial calculators that will give you the total to expect in no time. Armed with these results, you can confidently head over to your preferred sportsbook to place a parlay bet.
How does a Parlay work?
Select as few as two or as many as fifteen teams and combine them in one wager. All selections must win for your parlay to be successful. You can combine spreads, totals and moneylines.
What are the advantages?
The benefit of the parlay is that it gives a much higher payoff than if you were to place each bet individually since it’s harder to win all your selections.
Conditions:
- If there is a tie or no action, the parlay reverts to the next lowest number for pay-off, for example: if you select 4 teams and one of those ties, it becomes a 3 team parlay. A tie and win on a 2 team parlay pays out as a straight bet.
- You cannot combine ‘connected’, ‘dependent’ or ‘correlated’ events in the same parlay.
Payout Table:
The odds quoted in the pay-off table below only hold true if all selections in the parlay are at the standard price of -110 (football and basketball spreads and totals).
Variations in the prices will cause variations in the pay-offs.
Payout [all prices -110] | American Odds | |
2 Teams | 13 to 5 | +260 |
3 Teams | 6 to 1 | +640 |
4 Teams | 10 to 1 | +1000 |
5 Teams | 25 to 1 | +2500 |
6 Teams | 40 to 1 | +4000 |
7 Teams | 75 to 1 | +7500 |
8 Teams | 150 to 1 | +15000 |
9 Teams | 300 to 1 | +30000 |
10 Teams | 700 to 1 | +70000 |
11 Teams | 1,100 to 1 | +110000 |
12 Teams | 1,800 to 1 | +180000 |
13 Teams | 3,500 to 1 | +350000 |
14 Teams | 5,000 to 1 | +500000 |
15 Teams | 10,000 to 1 | +1000000 |
Calculating a Parlay:
If the odds in the parlay are not all -110 then the (true) parlay odds are calculated according to the different prices. This is done by multiplying the prices of the selections together, but remembering to include the stake amount. Let's assume you place a $10 parlay on 2 selections, with odds of -180 and +250. The calculation to work out your return is as follows:
First of all, convert the odds into decimal format (just use our decimal format option to view your odds):
With ‘favorite’ prices (denoted by a – (minus) sign):
100/180 = 0.556 and add 1 (to include the stake) = 1.556
With ‘underdog’ prices (denoted by a + (plus) sign):
250/100 = 2.5 and add 1 (to include the stake) = 3.5
Then, to find your total potential return, multiply these odds together and with the stake: 1.556 x 3.5 x $10 = $54.46
Progressive Parlays
A Progressive Parlay is very similar to a normal parlay but, in exchange for not getting as big a payout for picking a perfect combination, you are getting insurance for those occasions when one or more of the teams in your parlay loses.
These can be between 4 and 12 teams but you can onlychoose point spreads (no totals or moneylines). In these parlays you can lose games and still win the bet because the payouts are lower.
4 - 6 teams... you can afford ONE team to lose/push
7 - 9 teams... you can afford TWO teams to lose/push
10 - 12 teams... you can afford THREE teams to lose/push

Please note that Progressive Parlays also differ from regular parlays in the following ways:
- Progressive parlays are not available for MLB, NHL or money-line wagers in football or basketball.
- In a Progressive Parlay, a push or a tie is considered a loss for that selection. However, if a selection has no-action (due to postponement or cancelation), the bet will revert to the next lowest progressive parlay for payoff, except in the case of a 4 team progressive parlay where it results in a no-action on the whole parlay.
Round Robin Parlays
How a Round Robin Parlay works:
Make between 3 and 6 selections and wager on some or all of the possible parlay combinations in one go. Each of the parlays comprising the Round Robin is a separate wager.
You can combine spreads, money lines, totals and different sports in Round Robin parlay bets.
Example:
A three-team Round Robin bet for $10 placed two-ways would consist of all the two-team parlays that can be made from the three teams selected. Taking the Colts, the Eagles and the Giants (all to cover the spread) two-ways, you would be creating three separate two-team parlays and the total cost of the bet would be $30:
Parlay | Teams | 2 team parlay odds | Bet amount | To win | Return |
# 1 | Colts and Eagles | 13 to 5 | $10 | $26 | $36 |
# 2 | Colts and Giants | 13 to 5 | $10 | $26 | $36 |
# 3 | Eagles and Giants | 13 to 5 | $10 | $26 | $36 |
With the above example in mind, you also have the option to place a three-way Round Robin side bet to increase your potential payout (a three-team parlay including all three teams). If you wish, you may risk a lower amount on this 3-way bet, as it may be harder to win:
Parlay | Teams | 3 team parlay odds | Bet amount | To win | Return |
# 4 | Colts and Eagles and Giants | 6 to 1 | $5 | $30 | $35 |

With the selection of 4, 5 or 6 teams, further combinations are possible:
Parlay combinations within Round Robin | ||||||
Size of Round Robin | 2-way | 3-way | 4-way | 5-way | 6-way | Total no. of combinations |
3 team | 3 | 1 | - | - | 4 | |
4 team | 6 | 4 | 1 | - | - | 11 |
5 team | 10 | 10 | 5 | 1 | - | 26 |
6 team | 15 | 20 | 15 | 6 | 1 | 57 |
To place a Round Robin Parlay please follow these steps:
- Log-in to your account
- Choose the sport type on which you wish to bet
- Add your selection(s) to your betting ticket by clicking/tapping on your selected odds/prices on the betting card
- As soon as you have made at least three selections Round Robin Parlay will appear on the Parlay tab visible at the top of the betting ticket.
- Choose the required parlay combinations (2, 3, 4, 5 and/or 6-way) and the amount you would like to wager on each group of combinations.
- Review your selection(s) again before clicking/tapping PLACE BET.
The table above illustrates the possible number of combinations for the different sizes of Round Robin. It is not obligatory to choose all combinations.
Furthermore, it is possible to vary the amount risked on each group of combinations. For example, if you are making a 4 team Round Robin with 2-way and 3-way combos, you may wish to bet a higher amount on the 2-way combos which are easier to hit and a lower amount on the 3-way combos in which it would be harder to be successful.
The total value wagered and total potential payout will be displayed on the summary on the lower right hand side of the window. Once you have submitted your wager, a range of Bet IDs will be provided. Please make a careful note of the range for wager tracking purposes. (Please note: Bet IDs within the range may not necessarily be sequential).
