Parlays / Multiples / Combo Bets
GENERAL RULES
A parlay bet is defined as individual bets which link two or more selections in a single bet. Each selection chosen in the parlay must win for the parlay ticket to be successful. If the first selection is a winning bet, the winnings and the stake are carried over on to the second selection. This continues until all selections are winning bets or one selection is a losing bet. Some parlays are a combination of different parlays in a single parlay ticket, e.g. A Yankee is a combination of 11 different parlay bets. Please see the "Types of Parlay Bets" section for more information.
Example:
A parlay treble of $100 is placed on the following three selections:
If all three selections win, the return on the parlay is $448.20. This is broken down as follows:
Parlay Points:
RELATED SELECTION IN A PARLAYS
Parlay bets, which combine selections that are related in the same event or where the outcome of one market could affect the outcome of another market, are not accepted.
Example:
The following double is not accepted as it is seen as a related parlay:
If Manchester United win 2-0, the combined odds would be 12.6. However, the odds should only be 7.0 because if Manchester United win 2-0, they will automatically have won in the 1 X 2 market.
Parlay bets that combine selections relating to the same team or player, even though they are settled at different times, are also not accepted as the outcome of one could affect the outcome of the other:
Example:
This parlay is considered related as the result of the second selection impacts the first selection. If Manchester Untied win the Champions League, they will automatically have reached the final. Therefore, the odds can only be 10.0.
The Company reserves the right to void part or all of a parlay bet if it is seen to be a related parlay.
PARLAY PUSH
In the event that any part of the parlay bet is voided or is a push (as in the example below), the parlay bet will still stand and any winning selections will be carried forward to the remaining selections, as in the case of the following Treble:
As Manchester United only win 1-0 with a (-1) Asian Handicap, that part of the parlay bet is a push. Therefore, the "Chelsea win" bet is carried forward to the "Arsenal win" bet and the parlay bet becomes a winning Double on Chelsea and Arsenal instead of the initial parlay bet of a Treble. The push part of the bet is calculated by multiplying the carried over stake by 1.
Examples of how the push is calculated:
Example 1: A selection is settled as a push:
Selection |
HDP |
Odds |
Result |
Outcome |
Chelsea |
(-0.5/1) |
1.85 |
Win 2-0 |
Winning Selection |
Manchester United |
(-1) |
1.95 |
Win 1-0 |
Push |
Arsenal |
(-1/1.5) |
2.05 |
Win 3-0 |
Winning Selection |
Parlay Wager: $100 Treble
The calculation is as follows:
$100 x 1.85 x 1 x 2.05 = $379.25, less stake of $100 = Winnings of $279.25
Example 2: A selection is settled as a half win and half push:
Selection |
HDP |
Odds |
Result |
Outcome |
Chelsea |
(-0.5/1) |
1.85 |
Win 1-0 |
Half Win / Half Push |
Manchester United |
(-1) |
1.95 |
Win 2-0 |
Winning Selection |
Arsenal |
(-1/1.5) |
2.05 |
Win 3-0 |
Winning Selection |
Parlay Wager: $100 Treble
The calculation is as follows:
$100 x [1 + 0.5 x 0.85] x 1.95 x 2.05 = $569.64, less stake of $100 = Winnings of $469.64
Example 3: A selection is settled as a half lose and half push:
Selection |
HDP |
Odds |
Result |
Outcome |
Chelsea |
(-0.5/1) |
1.85 |
Win 2-0 |
Winning Selection |
Manchester United |
(-1) |
1.95 |
Win 2-0 |
Winning Selection |
Arsenal |
(-1/1.5) |
2.05 |
Win 1-0 |
Half Lose / Half Push |
Parlay Wager: $100 Treble
The calculation is as follows:
$100 x 1.85 x 1.95 x 0.5 = $180.38, less stake of $100 = Winnings of $80.38
