Quick Overview on Taking a Parlay
Taking a parlay on BettorEdge follows the traditional parlay style — where you combine multiple legs into one bet, and you need every leg to win in order to receive a payout.
Parlays are exciting because they let you wager a smaller amount to win more, but they’re also higher risk since a single loss will void the entire bet.
Please note: In order for your parlay to be in play, someone must "house" the other side of your parlay to get action on the game. Everyone on BettorEdge is peer to peer that we connect you with other bettors while you win more.
Step-by-Step Example of Taking a Parlay
Example:
Vikings -3.5
Packers +7.5
Over 47.5
All three legs must win for your parlay to pay out.
✅ All legs win → You win the full payout.
❌ One leg loses → The parlay loses.

BettorEdge Tip
When taking a parlay, review each leg carefully and consider how correlated outcomes (like spreads and totals in the same game) might increase or decrease your odds for a better chance for someone else to match the other side of your parlay.
What Happens if One Leg Pushes or Ties?
If one of your legs pushes in the parlay, the parlay is re-calculated with one less leg and the parlay continues to live based on the other legs.
Example:
If you take a parlay with three legs —Vikings -3.5
Packers +7.5
Over 48
If the final score is exactly 48, the parlay becomes a 2 leg parlay for Vikings -3.5 and Packers +7.5 and those two legs must win for your parlay to pay out.
✅ All legs win → You win the full payout.
❌ One leg loses → The parlay loses.
