How NFL Money Line Parlays Work
An NFL money line parlay is a type of sports bet where you combine multiple individual bets into one single wager. To win the parlay, all of your selected games must win according to their money line odds.
The money line odds for each game are expressed as positive or negative numbers. A positive number (e.g., +150) means you win $150 for every $100 wagered. A negative number (e.g., -200) means you need to wager $200 to win $100.
When you create a parlay, the bookmaker combines the odds of all the individual bets. The combined odds are usually worse than the best individual odds in the parlay.
Parlay bets typically have higher payouts but also higher risk. If any game in your parlay loses, you lose the entire bet.
Calculator Formula
The NFL Money Line Parlay Calculator uses the following formula to calculate the potential payout:
Where:
- Odds1, Odds2, ..., OddsN are the money line odds for each game in the parlay
- Wager Amount is the amount you're betting on the parlay
The calculator handles both positive and negative money line odds correctly.
Example Calculation
Let's say you want to parlay three NFL games with the following money line odds:
- Game 1: +150
- Game 2: -200
- Game 3: +120
And you wager $100 on the parlay.
Using the formula:
The negative combined odds indicate that you would need to wager $550.10 to win $100. Therefore, your potential payout is $100.
