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).

Anyone who bets a parlay with seven teams is a dreamer.

All picks in a single parlay must cover in order to win the parlay bet. Covering five of six games in a six-team parlay counts the same as losing six of six games. Put simply, a parlay requires perfection. With more risk comes more reward. Two-team parlays (or two-teamers) typically pay 2.6-to-1 and three-team parlays pay 6-to-1. Yet, the combined odds of all 10 events is a staggering 853.79 to 1! One other thing to note is that, in order to construct this parlay, we had to choose from different games each time. Parlay Bets - Parlay Sports Betting Odds. Parlay bets are types of betting wagers that include two or more teams with much larger payouts than a straight bet. All teams must win or cover the point-spread in order to win your parlay bet. Parlay bets may include different sports, point-spreads, money lines and totals. 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.

You hope to hit all seven legs and get a huge payout. The win is especially large if you’re throwing some big underdogs on there. It’s not the way you should bet if you’re worried about things like bankroll management.

But, sometimes the lottery hits.

One bettor at MGM played an odd parlay on Tuesday. There were six teams from the Copa Libertadores soccer tournament in South America, and the Dodgers to win Game 1 of the World Series.

And $50 turned into $128,995.

There were six matches in Copa Libertadores on Tuesday. If you’re going to build a seven-leg parlay when the NBA and NHL are done, the NFL isn’t playing and there are no scheduled college football games, you have to get creative. The bettor must have had a good read on the matches Tuesday, because he went 6-for-6.

That left the Dodgers.

The Dodgers were not a sweat after Cody Bellinger’s home run broke a scoreless tie in the bottom of the fourth inning.

The odds on a seven-team parlay are usually 90-to-1. But that’s for seven legs that have even odds. Every single soccer winner on that parlay was getting plus odds. That pushed up the odds on the seven-team parlay to about 2,579-to-1.

Parlays are hard to hit. There’s a reason those brightly colored cards aren’t far from any sportsbook counter. But for one bettor, he has a pretty good story to tell for the rest of his life.
