How do you calculate a parlay?
The best way to calculate the parlay bet payout is to use the free parlay calculator above or enter your bets into the sportsbook app where you plan to place your bets and enter your game selections. The payout amount of a parlay can grow exponentially especially when large underdogs are included in the wager. When placing a parlay bet make sure to shop around and calculate the parlay with multiple sportsbooks as the odds and payout can vary greatly.
See the parlay bet payout chart below to see how much a 2 team parlay pays versus what a 5 team parlay pays (typical of what you’ll see at most sportsbooks, so let the bettor beware if your book isn’t offering odds as least as good as these). The books also make money in the long run on parlays because they never pay close to the true odds. A two-team parlay (assuming all bets being 50/50 propositions) has 4 possible outcomes (Win-Win, Win-Lose, Lose-Win, Lose-Lose), so you should hit 1 out of every 4 times or odds of 3-1 against you, yet the standard payoff for a 2 team parlay is 13-5 (2.6-1). That’s a bargain compared to the much-lower odds we see the further we go down the chart.

Should you make a parlay bet or not? .... most times I do !
Ask two gamblers and you’re likely to get two different responses:
The anti-parlay gambler will say something like: “Parlays are sucker bets.” Or “The sportsbooks don’t offer you true odds on any parlay.” Or “Losing parlay bettors built all those casinos in Vegas.”
The pro-parlay gambler will say something like: “You can bet a little to win a lot.” Or “If you’re on a hot streak, parlays maximize your profits.”
Of course, there’s truth on both sides.
Yes, sportsbooks usually do very well against most parlay bettors since most gamblers are going to end up being around 50% overall, so even a 2 team parlay is a losing proposition if you go 1-1. And it’s hard enough to win one game, let alone multiple games, so the books love to book all the parlays they can.
On the pro-parlay side, the payoffs are appealing, and you have a better chance of having a big score than you do by playing PowerBall or MegaMillions. And, as mentioned above, if you’re hitting a higher than normal percentage of your straight bets (at least 55% consistently), you could show bigger profits with parlays. The best approach is to bet parlays when your onto a trend or system that the oddsmakers haven’t adjusted enough for, so you’re getting an edge on individual bets and compounding that with parlays. An example was in 2019 when many VSiN followers were betting NHL 1st Period Overs and parlaying them.

San Fran wins tonight.
But Game 7 of the ALCS is on, and that definitely trumps this MNF game.
Rangers just jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first on Seager's solo homer.

Well first and goal .... settled for the FG ...... MIN 10 SF 0 ..... More points left off, again by BOTH teams.
MIN 10 SF 7 McCafferty running TD, that's 16 straight games with a TD. 1 minute left until halftime.

I couldn’t care less about this game, but Purdy crashed back to earth pretty hard these last 2 weeks.

MIN 22 SF 17 4th quarter 2:13 left. Looks bad if you took SF + OVER + 2T.
Well you win some, you lose some. This had bad play all over it early on.
