Simple example:
Parlaying Miocic -350 + Jon Jones -525 + Markes +120 = +240 100 to win 240
Throw in a straight play on De Fries at +300 = OMG BIG WIN EITHER WAY! 100 to win 300
No, it really = paying the juice on both sides.
We have 3 possible outcomes
a) De Fries wins
b) Miocic wins and one or more of his co-legs lose
c) Miocic wins and both his co-legs win
In all examples we are risking $200.
In example a, we have won $200
In example b, our worst case scenario we lose BOTH BETS for $200
In example c, we win $140, in essence risking $200 to win $140 on a parlay of Jones and Markes, when we could've simply parlayed Jones/Markes for +162.
