There’s a loose definition in the iBox. A parlay is a single bet placed on multiple outcomes. Returns are higher because probability is lower.

Example, I have a 2 leg parlay on the Ravens game. Ravens +7.5 AND the total score over 43.5 points.

To win the parlay I need BOTH results to hit. If the ravens do cover the 7.5 but the total score is 41, I lose the bet. Or, if the total score is 51 but the ravens lose by 8 or more, I lose the bet.

The more legs you add to the parlay, the higher the return

Just betting the total over 43.5 pays -110, just betting the ravens +7.5 pays -130, but by combining them into one ticket, it would pay +236

The definitions of the -110s and +whatevers are also in the iBox
