    how much of a payout would this parlay be if...

    New England covers tomorrow night

    Parlay 103.00 1,935.29 Football - 127 New Orleans Saints/NYG Giants over 51 -138 buying 1½ for Game
    Football - 128 NYG Giants -3½ -121 buying 1 for Game
    Football - 131 Detroit Lions/Green Bay Packers over 47 -128 buying 1 for Game
    Football - 132 Green Bay Packers -6½ -110 for Game
    Football - 134 New England Patriots -3½ -118 buying ½ for Game

    The over/under push for Packers game will cost me, but how much?

    Convert to decimal odds, multiply all bets. Boom.

    Three team parlay with teams A:-200 (1.5), B: -150 (1.75), and C:-110 (1.91)

    Three teamer pays out A*B*C= 1.5*1.75*1.91
    Two teamer with A*B= 1.5*1.75 etc. Lemme know if that doesn't quite clear it up.

    Here is how you can calculate a "True Odds" Parlay yourself.

    Let's say we want a parlay with the following teams:
    New York Giants -150
    Miami Dolphins +170
    New York Rangers -120

    First, we have to determine what the multipliers would be for each game, simply divide what the total payout would be (risk + win) by the risk amount

    Giants - 150 to win 100, so the total payout would be $250
    250/150 = 1.6666

    Dolphins - 100 to win 170, so the total payout would be $270
    270/100 = 2.7

    Rangers - 120 to win 100, so the total payout would be $220
    220/120 = 1.8333

    Now that we have the multipliers, we multiply them together to come up with the True odds of the parlay.
    1.6666 x 2.7 x 1.8333 = 8.2495

    The return on your parlay would be about 8.25 this includes the risk amount so your profit would be approximately 7.25 for every dollar you risk on the above parlay.
