Parlay

What a parlay is

A parlay links two or more selections, called legs, into one wager. Every leg has to win for the parlay to pay. In return, the odds of the legs are multiplied together, so a handful of modest prices can combine into a large one. If any single leg loses, the whole wager loses, no matter how many of the others hit.

Parlays are popular because a small stake can return a large amount, and because they make a whole slate of games feel connected. The trade-off is that each added leg makes the ticket less likely to cash, and the book's margin compounds with each leg as well. A same game parlay builds every leg from one game; daily fantasy pick em entries borrow the same all-must-hit shape.

An example

A bettor combines three legs at -110 each: one favorite to cover, a total to go over, and a second favorite on the moneyline. A $10 three-leg parlay at those prices pays about $60 in profit. Two of the legs win on Sunday afternoon; the third misses by a field goal in the late game. The ticket loses the full $10.

How Speed Survivor is different

Speed Survivor has no parlays and no multiplied prices. A contest is twelve live yes-or-no questions during one game, and each one is scored on its own: base points for a correct answer, plus a speed bonus for answering fast. There is nothing to build before kickoff and no ticket that dies on one leg in another game.

What does carry from question to question is survival. Cuts remove the bottom of the field at set points, and in single-life contests a wrong answer ends your run. The survivors split a pool funded by the entries, with no house on the other side. How it works has the full format.
