What is a Parlay?
A parlay is a single bet that links together multiple events for a higher payout. The more teams that you tie together the higher your payout is going to be, but the risk also grows since if just one of your legs loses, the bet is a loser. It doesn’t matter what happens in the other games.
If one leg of your parlay ties, pushes, is cancelled due to postponement, cancellation, rescheduling, then the wager reverts to the next lowest number. For example a 3-team parlay with a push gets graded as a 2-team parlay with the other two legs.

How to Use the Parlay Calculator
Enter your wager amount and odds (yellow fields) for each leg of the parlay and you will see your potential profit, equivalent American and Decimal odds, as well as the implied win probability of your parlay bet.
For a single bet, enter odds in American format. A minus sign (-) indicates a favorite while a plus sign (+) indicates an underdog.
Moneyline odds are the most common bets in a parlay, however you can select any type of bet. A money line bet is a wager on which team you think will win. Therefore money line bets are the most straight forward and easiest to interpret, especially when there are multiple in a parlay.
See Your Parlay Odds with Bets that Push
You can also check the Push boxes if your bet has pushed. Checking this box will adjust the parlay odds to account for the fact that you have pushed a given bet.
A “push” or tie, means that your bet will not cause your parlay to be graded as a loss. Instead that leg of the parlay will basically be ignored when calculating the payout of your parlay.
A bet could push if you bet on a point spread or total that hit exactly. For example, if the New York Knicks were +8 against the Los Angeles Lakers and lost by exactly 8 points, that would be a push.
