Betting Guide
One of the most exciting bets in football is the parlay. With a parlay you are picking two teams against the spread and if they both win, you win big. A typical single game bet pays on odds of -110. A typical two team parlay can pay 13/5 odds, over 2.5-to-1. For this reason, parlays are one of the more popular betting options in football.
Of course, they aren’t easy which is why the odds are so good. The more teams you pick, the better the odds get because the difficulty rises. Winning parlays is hard, but we’re here to help with that.
Betting parlays online is extremely important. You may have betting via your local government or something like that but the odds are much better online. Some sportsbooks even offer particular parlay bonuses depending on how many you add to it.
We’ll also show you how to bet parlays as well as where to bet them. Let’s get into it.
Where To Bet NFL Parlays:
America: Parlays are as big a part of football as the ball and Bovada has you covered all NFL season long. They make it very easy to see how much return you are going to get.
Everywhere Else: You can get parlays at 888, only they are called “Multiples”. For more on this, see below. Also it is vitally important that you look into Bet365 Sportsbook for parlays. Depending on the country you live in, Bet365 Sportsbook will offer parlay bonuses for American sports where you can earn up to 50% more betting with them. It’s based on the amount of teams you bet in a parlay or options you bet. So a 5-fold parlay gets you a 15% bonus, while a 9-fold gets you a 35% bonus etc.
Canada: Sports Interaction has you covered for every NFL need you have and that includes parlays. They’re worth having an account at along with Bet365 Sportsbook.
What is an NFL Parlay?
Both ends need to hit. You can do a two team parlay which is typically 13/5 odds all the way up to an 12-team parlay. The odds of course differ on what you are doing depending on the parlay you are making.
A couple of examples if we bet $100 on the following point spread parlays:
5 team: $100 returns $2500
8 Team: $100 returns $17,500
Adding in higher odds picks also increases the return. For example if we did two point spread picks in a two team parlay, $100 returns $250. However if you then add in an underdog at say +325 odds, that 3 team parlay is now $100 to return $1550.
Common NFL Parlay Questions:
Are parlays a good deal?
Yes and no. Betting on two games and winning both of those games will pay you less as you are just getting 1.1:1 odds, basically. If you take those same two games and parlay them, you get paid 2.6:1 which is a lot nicer payday.
Of course, if we assume a 50/50 chance of winning both games then the “true” odds would be 3:1 not 2.6:1 so the sportsbook are still making out on you.
If you’re a serious gambler and want to do this for a living it’s smarter to stay away from parlays and grind it out. However if you are betting casually – go for it. Who doesn’t want to risk $5 to return $250, or $20 to return $4500? Yeah the odds are small and you may lose in the long term but you’d probably blow that money anyway. Have some fun.
How To Bet NFL Parlays:
Bovada: Go to the sportsbook list of NFL games and select the games you’d like to parlay. From there, they will be added to your bet slip and you can select “Parlay” below them to parlay the games.
Sports Interaction: Click on all the games you are interested in parlaying and they will be added to your bet slip. Click “COMBINATION” and you’ll be able to parlay those games.
888: Select the games you want and add them to your bet slip. At the top of the slip you will see “Singles” and “Multiples” Select multiples to parlay those games.
NFL Parlay Betting Strategy:
I try to look for plays that have some sort of correlation. A good example would be a game where you like one team to cover the spread, but in order to cover the spread this game is going to have to go over. That is a great place for a two-team parlay.
Another great way to do parlays is when a sportsbook gives you a free play. Since this is free money that you can’t withdraw, you are best making a parlay that could pay big.
