the reason I'm wanting to know this is because I'm tailing a guy that is winning right around 50% but hes betting average odds of + 208. can I make money if I parlay his plays into 2 picks? thanks again

Easiest way is take the number of plays and subtract 1 since you can't parlay a team with itself. Take that number and divide by 2. Take that number and multiply it with the total play number.

so your example would be:

27-1 = 26/2 = 13 and 13*27 = 351

11 team example:

11-1 = 10/2 =5 and 5*11 = 55
