Once, I was a whiz at math.

[ABEHONEST]

But many years later, when I try to use common sense and logic, figuring a simple sports parlay, my brain goes straight to mush.
Who knows how to get parlay results using the best [simple] method possible? And I see the "parlay odds tables," yet, they do not go into the details of each succeeding bet.

Example: 5 teamer for $20 at 1.08 odds on each step?
Use, step by step, please, so I can finally understand how one bet feeds the next parlay bet in line?

The O-guy will kindly pass.
Thank you!

Did all the above, guys. Need a simple step to the next step to the next step. Using the $20 at 1.08 parlay odds. 5-teamer.
Okay?
Thanks

Who gives a shit about calculating the odds for you? Learn subtraction instead because you will lose your $20.

on the android app pick the parlay calculator that is orange. you have to convert odds. if you can't do that, download bet calculator to convert odds or look online. app allows you to add and calculate each leg step by step.

I thought SBR cleaned up this forum, especially for pp-members such as you?
Guess not, but be careful *hits Grits, I do not put up with too much disrespect....unless called for.

And tell your bud, O, he's also on call for borderline, stalking. And after a couple warnings, too.
Isn't that against the rules?

See, we older gentlemen members like rules for ALL members.

Still seeking the mathematical--step-by-step--method to figure parlays?
$20 on a 5-teamer. Using moneyline 1.08 for all 5 stages.
So, $20 x 1.08 = step 1.

Step 2 =number 1 answer, plus, x 1.08 again for step 2.
Etc.
Who needs 20 points if you can show me the 5 stages of my parlay?

Come on, I know someone can figure parlays? This way, I can best understand how Books get their crazy parlay final payoff number?

Now, who has the final payoff number? Worth 10 points.

Who has the step-by-step method I am looking for?
Worth 20 points.

if you are talking european odds then its just: $20 x 1.08 x 1.08 x 1.08 x 1.08 x 1.08

if you mean american -108 then (1/1.08) + 1 = 1.926 and the formula is: $20 x 1.926 x 1.926 x 1.926 x 1.926 x 1.926

[dj_destroyer]

The odds multiply themselves, so 1.08 x 1.08 x 1.08 x 1.08 x 1.08 = 1.47x

$20 x 1.47 = $29.4

$29.4 - $20 = $9.4 profit

Thanks, I'll look, but I think I have already talked about that auto computer math style.
I am looking for all the parlay stages one by one so I can see the math on each step. So I can finally figure my parlays the old fashioned way.

Then, when I learn it by each step, of course I can use the online computer math scale.
Thanks, keep trying.

Ok, SBR has the very best parlay calculator. However, I still want to see each 5 steps individually.
I will look at it again and see If I can see each step.

But, I like the old method better. That way I can probably predict--close enough--without stopping to do math on game day. And double-check later.

True Parlay Odds is the number you are looking for. Change the Line Set to 0 and it will be less confusing.

Step 1 = convert each leg's odds into Decimal.
Step 2 = multiply each leg, one on top of the other.
Step 3 = Reduce the final result by 1, then multiply by 100 to change back to US odds.

But really. Just use a calculator to do it for you like the most of us do.

Thanks, OPT.
I suppose, members can see I am a bit of a fanatic about figues being correct?
So, it is very important for me to know how the simple math works. And, I like being right more then...being wrong.

And who can trust a Book to be right every single time when calculating your wagers?

Believe me, I've has some real dosey problems in the past.
Intentionally?
The odds say, no. But I like to know at 100%.

[ABEHONEST]

One more time:
If I use the value of what 1.08 is [92 cents on a dollar, or close?] and parlay that with my $20 bucks, it equals $38.40. Right?
So step #1's figure before moving to step #2., is $38.40? Correct?

So, that being very close, the 92 cents on each dollar, we then go forward and multiply the total result of step 1. the $38.4 0 x 1.92 for #2 step. Correct?

Now, step 1 & 2: being 38.4 x 1.92 [isn't this correct?] = $73.72, correct?

Step #3. 1.92 x 73.72 [correct?] = $ 141.55, correct?

Step #4. 1.92 x 141.55 [correct?] = $ 271.77, correct?

Step #5. 1.92 x 272.77 [correct?] = $521.79, correct?

* That very close to the correct 5-parlay figure?
I believe this figure is very close to being correct and I like using this step by step much better, so I can better clarify my parlay will be right on the button.
Who agrees?

Hey, sorry about all the preciseness, but that's kinda like my personality when it comes: "Proving a point"

[ABEHONEST]

Last post! Maybe?
So Google says -1.08 on a dollar-EU, is 91 cents, not 92 cents. Okay, I am a smarter man after this thread.
Who do I owe points to?

[swordsandtequila]

WTF? $20 wagered on odds of 1.08 = $21.60

Decimal odds are exactly what they look like. You wager $1 @ 1.08 you make 8 cents. As usual, you're making this way harder than it is. Multiply the decimal odds of each game (be it 2 or 20 games), result is your odds for that parlay. Multiply that by your wager. Done. Period. Quit thinking.

5 game parlay, each game @ 1.08, total odds are 1.47 (-213 American). $20 wager pays $29.40. Be nice to make $500+ on 1.08 odds

Once again, after precise warnings, this ultra ego attention go getter, refuses to acknowledge the "why," I do not want anymore of your replies; good or bad.

Just went into a mild shock!
Wrong again! -108 = .93 on a dollar. Not .92 cent on a dollar but .93 cents.
Wow.
Now, step #1 and #2 will have to be refigured.
Any flaws found here?

I see your reply now. And it's still leave to m0re confusion. But I will work harder to find the solution.
Now, why would $20 X 1.93, not equal 38.60 through #1 step?

because no one was sure which kind of odds you were using. 1.08 is different than -108. you put 1.08 but meant -108.

[ABEHONEST]

Yes, -108. I thought everyone would understand.

[ABEHONEST]

So now, using the correct decimal on a dollar [right?]= $20 X 1.93 X 1.93 X 1,93 X 1.93X 1.93, I get $535.55 for the parlay payoff?

Please, be careful, I have an unloaded pistol close to my noggin.
