How Are Parlay Picks Put Together?
Our parlay picks are carefully selected from our database of soccer stats. Our team seeks out the best parlays we can think of on a daily basis. Where we don't see much value in a set of games on a given day, we won't pick a parlay, instead focusing on where we think there's value in a parlay.
How Many Selections Should Go Into A Parlay?
There is no ideal size for a parlay and no ideal number of legs. It all comes down to individual preference. Obviously, the more legs you put into a parlay, the more likely the odds will be higher, and theoretically the lower the probability of the parlay winning. However, whether you prefer to build 10 leg parlays, or just simple 3 leg parlays, the choice is yours. Larger parlays do not necessarily give you any less value than smaller parlays.
Are Soccer Parlays Worth It?
Parlay bets are certainly very popular amongst sports bettors due to the combined odds they provide and potential to win big compared to individual straight bets. Are they worth it and do parlay bets provide value? Well, yes and no - parlays are simply made up of the combined odds of each selection. You could, theoretically bet on each game in a parlay one-by-one (if each game kicked off and ended before the next started, for example over a weekend) and get the same odds as backing a parlay up front. That said, games that run concurrently can only be combined up front in a parlay.
Parlay bets may encourage sports bettors to take more risk, in that people may take more risks when chasing bigger odds, or betting on markets and outcomes that they would not normally wager a straight bet on. A good example of this is the bet builder functionality that many sportsbooks now offer. Sports bettors are now wagering bets on a wider range of markets, such as the number of cards in a half of the game - markets that a few years ago would have had very few bets wagered on them.
Should I Include The Early Kickoff In A Parlay?
Some sports bettors are very superstitious about including an early game in a parlay and prefer instead to wager a parlay on games that all kick off at the same time. There is no real monetary benefit to backing games in a parlay that all kick off at the same time, versus backing games across a day or weekend. Backing a parlay with games that all kick off at the same time may provide more excitement if your parlay is winning, and some might argue that it does provide you better cash out values if all your selections are winning at the same time. Conversely it could be argued that putting selections in a parlay that kick off at different times gives the bettor the time to think about cashing out in between kick off times. The main reason that sports bettors don't like including an early game in a parlay is because if that leg loses then the parlay has already lost before other legs kick off.
Top Tips For Putting Together Winning Parlays
Like with any bet, there's an associated risk, probability and chance that things may not go your way, but here are some things you might want to consider in creating your parlays
1. Do Your Reasearch - Try not to build your parlays by looking at the odds. Starting with the odds in mind can sometimes be misleading. Odds effectively represent what a sportsbook thinks the outcome will be, and represent a spread of values that the sportsbook has priced to try make a profit on that market. Odds can also represent what other people are betting on - the more bets wagered on a selection, the more chance those odds have of decreasing as the sportsbook prices in this risk. In our opinion it's best to do your research and study the statistics alongside the odds. WinDrawWin has an extensive soccer stats section to help you with this.
2. Be Ready To Cash Out - Most sportsbooks now offer cash out as standard. When placing a parlay bet, be ready to cash out. Some things you might want to consider include - when is the right time to cash out? When during in-game will you consider making a decision to cash out? You might be able to determine this from cash out value you have seen in the past. For example, you might make a decision to consider cashing out at half-time if your parlay is winning. You might consider cashing out if your return equals or exceeds 100% of your wager. Are you going to cash out at 80 minutes if all your bets are winning, or are you going to let your bets run until final whistle? If you have an idea of what decisions you want to make beforehand then this removes any need for quick decision making in-game. You might also consider what time you have to consider cash out between games in your parlay. If your legs are across games that kick off at different times during the weekend then you might have time in between games to cash out if you feel that's right for you.
3. Bet With Your Head, Not Your Heart - Some sports bettors have a golden rule that they don't bet on the team they support. There is some logic to this. Betting on your own team may be based on immotive choices and not logic. It also means that if your team loses it doesn't also ruin your parlay too!
4. Season-Long Parlays - Whilst betting on futures parlays, like league winner parlays, might be tempting, consider that if you do this your wager amount will be tied up for several months until each market is settled.
How To Calculate Parlay Odds?
If you are using decimal odds, which most people do outside of the United States, calculating your parlay odds is simple. Simply multiply the odds for each selection together. The order in which you multiply the odds does not matter. For example, if you are doing a treble on selections with odds of 2.00, 3.50 and 4.50 then the odds on this treble will be 2.00 x 3.50 x 4.50, which equals 31.5. All sportsbook bet slips will calculate your parlay odds for you, as does our on site bet slip at WinDrawWin.
