Understanding Parlays

The math behind the payout

Why parlays pay more, and what the sportsbook keeps.

How It Works

Combined odds calculation

Parlay odds are simply the product of each leg's decimal odds. A 3-leg parlay at 1.91 × 1.91 × 1.91 = 6.97 decimal, or about +597. The payout is your stake × combined decimal odds. Formula: payout = stake × (dec₁ × dec₂ × ... × decₙ)

The Vig Compounds

Why the books' hold grows

Each leg carries the sportsbook's vig (~4.5% per leg at -110). In a parlay, that vig compounds multiplicatively. A 3-leg parlay at standard juice carries roughly a 13% built-in hold; a 6-legger has ~25%. The true fair payout is always higher than what books pay.

Win Probability

How to read it

The win probability shown is implied by the odds given it includes the book's vig, so the true probability of winning is slightly lower. A 3-team parlay at -110 each has a ~12.5% implied win probability. You'd need to win 1-in-8 to break even long-term.

Correlation

Why correlated legs price differently

When two outcomes are related (same game: a QB's passing yards and his team's total), the simple multiplication this calculator uses no longer describes their combined probability. Sportsbooks price same-game parlays with in-house correlation models and typically build in more margin on them, not less. Cross-game legs are the only case where the math on this page applies as written. To see what a real parlay's price implies against its true combined probability, use our parlay truth-teller.

Understand the number this returns

The calculator multiplies your legs; the guide shows the formula behind it, and the chart lists every leg count from 2 to 12 at the standard price. Combined odds include the sportsbook's margin on each leg, so the implied probability shown is not a true probability.
