Parlays Meaning

admin 3/21/2022

Sportsbooks love parlays because they force bettors to be perfect, which can be hard to do. But, that doesn’t mean you should avoid parlays altogether. Before placing your bet, handicap each game you want to include in your parlay picks. The odds of winning a parlay can be tricky if you don’t do your due diligence. A Key Parlay is simply when you select 3 or more teams and use one as the Key. Ex: Team A, B,C. You use Team A as the Key. Then you parlay Team A with Team B and Team C separately. A parlay, accumulator (or acca), combo bet or multi is a single bet that links together two or more individual wagers and is dependent on all of those wagers winning together. The benefit of the parlay is that there are much higher payoffs than placing each individual bet separately, since the difficulty of hitting all of them is much higher. Parlay (something) into (something else) To use a particular quality, asset, or trait so well or strategically that it becomes something even more valuable. He was able to parlay the negative press against his competitor into a successful ad campaign that ended up giving him a huge boost in business.
