    Need help about parlay payout!!! PLEASE

    My situation is this, today i made a couple parlays on EURO, the card has 4 teams.One of them 4 teams is PUSHED, left back 3 winning teams. Here are the odds... ( the one with BLUE color is PUSHED)

    Netherlands 1.10, Tue@2:30p (Win)
    England 1.80, Tue@2:45p (Win)
    Republic of Ireland vs. Andorra Under 4 (1.74), Tue@2:45p (Push)
    Spain U21 1.44, Tue@11:00a (Win)


    Ok, since the push doesnt count in the parlay so we dont do the multiple with the rest of the winning odds correct?

    Then it will be 1.10 x 1.80 x 1.44 = 2.8512( We just take 2.85 as final odd here ). Am i right so far here?
    The important thing here is my ORIGINAL bet was $80 for the parlay. Due to my knowledge the payout will be based on my bet which is $80 x 2.85 = $228, but bodog only PAID me US$ 148.80 + $80US$ 228.80 (original bet) of total US$ 228.80

    IS NOT it supposed to bet
    $80 x 2.85 = $228 + $80 original bet = $308 instead of 228?
    Please help bodog is trying to cheat here.....

    Bodog is not cheating you. It paid out correctly.

    Here's a parlay calc for you. http://www.docsports.com/parlay-calculator.html

    Netherlands is -1000 (1.10), England -125 (1.8), Spain U21 -225 (1.44).

    Your missing the fact that 2.85 odds include your bet (The number before the decimal in the odds. The actual odd for the Netherlands bet is .10 actually. Its only 1.10 with your bet included).

    Thanks Gator, but im not quite understand is $80 x 2.85 = 228. Why did they take 228 - 80 = 148 as for my winning ? when the parlay payout format is base on your bet multiply with the odd?

    OR is it happend when the parlay has a push in it?

    Sorry I made an edit. I'll try to re clarify if it's confusing.

    80 x 2.85 = 228

    228 includes your $80 bet. So 228 - 80 = 148, for a $148 profit. Winning a bet of $80 on 2.85 odds means you win $148.
