Frequently Asked Questions
How do I read American odds?
Negative odds (e.g., -110) show how much you need to bet to win $100. Positive odds (e.g., +150) show how much you win on a $100 bet. For example, -110 means bet $110 to win $100, while +150 means bet $100 to win $150.
How are parlay odds calculated?
Each leg's American odds are converted to decimal odds, then multiplied together. The result is converted back to American odds. More legs = higher potential payout but lower probability of winning.
What happens if one leg pushes?
If one leg pushes (ties), most sportsbooks remove that leg from the parlay and recalculate with the remaining legs. Always check your sportsbook's specific rules.
What's the maximum parlay payout?
Most sportsbooks cap parlay payouts between $500,000 and $1,000,000. Our calculator shows true mathematical payouts - check your book's limits before placing large bets.
