You may estimate Parlay Payoffs by following steps (example provided):
Let's say you play the Pirates +150 and the Pirate game over 8 -120 in a two team parlay and you bet $100. Use the following steps to determine your winnings or should we say potential winnings.
  • 1. Calculate Parlay Factor for each piece: if the price of the piece is positive - simply add one to get factor, if the price of the piece is negative v calculate reciprocal, multiply by -1, and then add one.
  • 1.50 + 1 = 2.50
  • -1.20 (take reciprocal or divide one by the negative price) 1/1.20 = 0.83 + 1 = 1.83
  • 2. Multiply all factors - then multiply this factor times the bet amount - the result is the payoff (including your bet)
  • 2.50 x 1.83 = 4.57 (now multiply this times your bet) x 100 = 457
  • $457 is your total return if both pieces win (including your bet amount)
  • 3. Subtract your bet from the figure calculated in 2 - Result is your winnings.
  • 457 - 100 = 357 Winnings
This will also work for three, four, five,... team parlays, simply follow the steps. Note: This is will provide you with a rough estimate; actual winnings may differ due to rounding.

  • In case of tie or no action the parlay will revert to lower level payoff, except in a 2 team parlay where a tie reverts to a straight bet.
  • (!) All parlays are based on a true odds format except for parlay cards.
<table class="poChart"><tbody><tr> <td colspan="2">PARLAYS PAYOFFS</td> </tr> <tr> <td>2 Teams</td> <td>2.645</td> </tr> <tr> <td>3 Teams</td> <td>5.958</td> </tr> <tr> <td>4 Teams</td> <td>12.283</td> </tr> <tr> <td>5 Teams</td> <td>24.359</td> </tr> <tr> <td>6 Teams</td> <td>47.413</td> </tr> <tr> <td>7 Teams</td> <td>91.424</td> </tr> <tr> <td>8 Teams</td> <td>175.446</td> </tr> <tr> <td>9 Teams</td> <td>335.852</td> </tr> <tr> <td>10 Teams</td> <td>642.082</td> </tr> <tr> <td>11 Teams</td> <td>1226.701</td> </tr> <tr> <td>12 Teams</td> <td>2342.793</td> </tr> <tr> <td>13 Teams</td> <td>4473.514</td> </tr> <tr> <td>14 Teams</td> <td>8541.254</td> </tr> <tr> <td>15 Teams</td> <td>16306.940</td></tr></tbody></table>

thanks bro!

But I try your formula, using 1.909x 8 time x2= 352.75
use 352.75 x$20 -$20 = $7035
but I bet 20 to win only 3143.28 , did I miss something?

1.909x1.909=3.644x1.909=6.956x1.909=13.280x1.909=25.353x1.909=48.398

x1.909=92.393x1.909=176.379x20=3527.58 -20=3507.58

thats 8

176.379x1.909=336.707x20=6734.15-20=6714.15

you got some shitty odds with this book

what book are you playing at ??


If the parlay wins you will probably get back
1,600.

there are a couple of ways to hedge.


you can wait until halftime, hopefully score is 17-14. then play under 2nd half. you are also risking a chance it might 6-3 halftime


you can play under but make sure the under is 47 or 48 (buy points if you can)

I think the total will go up to 47 by midafternoon

pinnacle sports is leaning over right now .......fwiw

how much to hedge

that depends on your situation

me personally I would risk $600 on under 48

enjoy (the last 4 public game went over that why i also think the line might move up )


call up the book and ask them what the expected payout is with a tie.....fwiw
