10 Team Parlay
Posted : admin On 7/17/2022Before we go any further, we need to explain what a parlay is fully.
In order to win the entire bet, you have to win each of the individual bets on your parlay. If you lose one individual bet, then you lose the entire parlay bet.
- Bet #10: Spread @ -112 Overall odds: +85379. Here is an example of how outsized both the odds and payouts for a parlay can get. Here we have a collection of 10 wagers that are all going off at odds shorter than 2 to 1. Yet, the combined odds of all 10 events is a staggering 853.79 to 1!
- In other words, at standard parlay odds going all in on two single bets pays out better than parlay betting. What does a 2 Team $50 Parlay Pay? We can use the exact same math for a $50 parlay. At 13/5 odds (a 2.6 multiplier), a successful 2 team parlay pays out $130. Following the same math we did before, a $50 bet on a team at -110 pays out.
A 10 team parlay will pay out 643 times your wager amount assuming each leg of the parlay has -110 odds. For example, if you place a $10 bet on a 10 team parlay, your pay out would be $6,430. What does a $20 two team parlay pay? How to calculate parlay odds. Below you can find an example of a traditional parlay card. This details the typical payouts for up to a 10 team parlay bet based on -110 odds which you’ll get Against the Spread and in Over Under Totals Markets, to a $100 stake. If any team within the parlay does not cover the spread, the entire parlay bet loses. While we don’t like parlay bets for serious bettors, they’re a great way to add tons of excitement to a weekend of football. Just remember how hard it is to go 3 for 3 in your fantasy league before you place a 10 team parlay.
The reason is that the sportsbook will pay you out much more money for correctly picking multiple individual bets together.There is more risk in this type of bet so it should be expected that we are offered a higher reward for making this wager.
Let’s compare betting three games individually versus betting them as a parlay.
Let’s assume that each game is -110 moneyline odds.
Let’s also assume that our bankroll for these three games is $300. We’re going to look at the scenarios if we picked all three games correctly and if we only picked two of the games correctly.
If we bet the games individually, we would bet $100 per game.
Game | Bet Amount | Odds | Outcome | Profit/Loss |
Game 1 | $100 | -110 | Win | $90.91 |
Game 2 | $100 | -110 | Win | $90.91 |
Game 3 | $100 | -110 | Win | $90.91 |
Now, what would happen if we picked all three games as a parlay bet? This time, we would place a single bet of $300. We will go over how to calculate parlay payouts in the section below here, but for now, we have done the calculations for you.
The profit on this bet as a parlay would be $1787.40! Even if we only bet $100 total, we would see a profit of $595.80. As you can see, you can bet 1/3 of the amount you bet total in the individual games and still make more than double what you would betting the games individually.
At this point, a lot of people are wondering why you would ever bet anything but parlays. You can bet less and make so much more! Well, as you are probably guessing, there is more to the story.
Let’s look at what happens in our same example, except this time we only pick two out of the three games correctly. We bet the same games again for $100 each individually, and we are correct on two out of the three games.
Game | Bet Amount | Odds | Outcome | Profit/Loss |
Game 1 | $100 | -110 | Win | $90.91 |
Game 2 | $100 | -110 | Win | $90.91 |
Game 3 | $100 | -110 | Loss | ($100.00) |
10 Team Parlay Card
If we bet all three of the games as a parlay for $300 (or $100), our profit is negative $300 or negative $100. If you get even one game wrong in a parlay, you lose the entire bet. You’ve now seen the downside to parlays.
10 Team Parlay Odds
Even if you only get one game correct betting them individually, you’re only going to lose $109. If you bet the same $300 on a parlay, though, you lose the entire $300. The risk is higher for parlays, but the associated reward is also higher.
