You can make much more money betting each NFL game by itself and not have an entire bet ruined by just one game. Parlays are a bet that most professional gamblers will not even sniff at. If you push on two picks, you would then have a straight bet.

If you push on one of those picks, you then have a two-team parlay and the odds would revert to the bookmakers current 2 team parlay odds. But if all three teams cover the point spread in their games, then you will win somewhere in the area of 6:1, which means you would win $600 for every $100 that you bet. I will outline an example below of a traditional parlay bet you place a three-team NFL parlay on the Giants -3, Eagles +7, and Dolphins +4, If any one of those teams fail to cover the spread, then you lose the parlay bet. For more on this see our 4 team parlay article. Once you get over the 3 team parlay is when the bookmakers start to juice the odds against the player. Now one has to take into account that the true parlay odds on a 2 team parlay at -110 (standard vigorish) is +264 roughly right around 13:5 so most bookmakers do offer fair odds on 2 and 3 team parlays. In reality, however, if one assumes that each single game bet is a coin flip and would be expected to pay out at 1:1, the true payout should instead be 3:1, a substantial difference. For instance, a common 2-team parlay might have a payout of 13:5 if both picks are correct. NFL parlay bets are paid out at odds higher than the typical single game bet, but still below the odds. Many professional sports bettors will stay away from parlays due to the fact that the odds of hitting parlays are substantially less than what should be paid for these very hard bets. Many experienced bettors will joke and say the parlay is French for “loser”.

A NFL parlay or accumulator is a single bet that links together two or more individual wagers and is dependent on all of those wagers winning together.
