Combined odds = every leg's decimal price multiplied together. The more legs you add, the less likely it is to win, and the bookmaker's cut grows with every leg.

Every leg has to win, so each one should be a good price. Our model checks each game's chance against the price. The free picks show the price and what $10 returns.

How the maths
works

Convert each leg to decimal odds, multiply them, then multiply by your stake. Here's a three-leg parlay on a $10 stake:

  • Leg 1 — decimal1.91
  • Leg 2 — decimal2.50
  • Leg 3 — decimal1.80
  • Combined odds (1.91 × 2.50 × 1.80)8.60
  • Payout on $10 stake$85.95

How is a parlay payout calculated?

Multiply every leg's decimal odds, then multiply by your stake. 1.91 × 2.50 × 1.80 = 8.60, so $10 returns $85.95.

Why do parlays usually lose?

Every leg has to win, and the bookmaker's cut on each leg multiplies across the parlay. So even good legs can add up to a poor price.
