Bet on Parlays, Combos or Accumulator Bets

 

 

Have you ever felt so confident about a series of bets you were about to make, that you wanted to make even more money from them? Then the parlay is for you. (Accumulator bets and combo bets are other names for the parlay.) The parlay takes individual bets on individual games you were going to make and puts them all together under a single bet. With the individual bets, your bet slip might look like this: Huddersfield Town vs. Bournemouth AFC — 1×2 Huddersfield Town @ 2.18 Blackpool vs. Reading — 1×2 Reading @ 2.52 Stoke City vs. Crystal Palace — 1×2 Stoke City @ 1.82 Fulham vs. Arsenal — 1×2 Arsenal @ 2.22 With a stake of €25 on each match, the total of your four bets is €100, and your estimated payout (if you win all four bets) is €218.50. Simply add the odds, and your payout will be proportional to that total. Huddersfield Town vs. Bournemouth AFC — 1×2 Huddersfield Town @ 2.18 Blackpool vs. Reading — 1×2 Reading @ 2.52 Stoke City vs. Crystal Palace — 1×2 Stoke City @ 1.82 Fulham vs. Arsenal — 1×2 Arsenal @ 2.22 With a parlay, you stake not on the single games, but on all the games at once. The odds are not added but multiplied: 2.18 * 2.52 * 1.82 * 2.22 = 22.196. If you wager €25 total, then your payout for the parlay will be €25 * 22.196 = €554.90. In this example, you’ve wagered one-fourth the money and your potential payout is over twice as big. If all your bets are correct — parlays are usually from two to six bets — then you stand to win a potentially massive payout! However, most betting sites restrict the kinds of bets you can use in a parlay; you’ll often be limited to larger-market football games, for example. On sites such as SBOBet, they’ve set a hard cap on the amount of money you can win from a single parlay (Max Payout), which is USD 20,000 for a non-football parlay, and USD 100,000 for a football parlay. Parlays (or accumulator bets or combo bets), because of their long odds, are riskier than individual bets. They’re difficult to justify running all that often when you’re managing your units and building your bankroll one even-odds bet at a time. (A teaser, where the bettor takes a more favorable point spread to make a parlay less of a long-shot, is one way of mitigating this.) Though parlays are exciting, betting-strategy.org we recommend using them sparingly — a lot of discipline goes a long way in sports betting, which is what brought you here in the first place!
