How parlay payouts work

Understand decimal odds, total payout versus profit, and why an estimated parlay payout can change.

Total back includes your stake

If you stake $10 and receive $120 total back, your profit is $110 before any applicable fees or taxes. If the card loses, you can lose your entire $10 stake.

A simple fictional example

For an ordinary all-win parlay with decimal odds of 2.00, 1.50 and 2.00, multiply the odds: 2.00 × 1.50 × 2.00 = 6.00. A $10 stake would return $60 total, including $50 profit, if every selection wins under the sportsbook’s rules. These are invented example odds, not a current offer.

Why the app and sportsbook may differ

Greek Picks shows dated estimates. Odds can move, a sportsbook can reject a combination, and voids, pushes or special settlement rules can change the payout. Same-game pricing cannot be assumed to equal multiplied individual odds. Our member sportsbook builder excludes same-game parlays.

A payout target is not a win forecast

Finding a card within your requested payout range does not show that it is likely to win or has a betting advantage. Review every selection and the final accepted payout at the sportsbook.
