How do Fanduel parlays work?

Answered by Randy McIntyre

Fanduel parlays work by allowing sports bettors to combine multiple predictions into a single bet. This means that instead of placing individual bets on each prediction, you can combine them into one bet and potentially win a larger payout if all the predictions are correct. However, it’s important to note that winning a parlay can be quite challenging, especially when multiple predictions and outcomes are involved.

To place a parlay bet on Fanduel, you would need to select the games or events you want to include in your bet. For example, let’s say you want to bet on three NFL games: the New England Patriots vs. the Kansas City Chiefs, the Green Bay Packers vs. the San Francisco 49ers, and the Dallas Cowboys vs. the New York Giants. You would choose the point spread, over/under, or moneyline for each game.

Once you have made your selections, you would add them to your bet slip on Fanduel. In the bet slip, you would see the option to select “parlay” instead of placing individual bets. This will combine all your selections into one bet.

The payout for a parlay bet is determined by the odds of each individual selection and the number of selections in the parlay. Fanduel will calculate the potential payout for you before you confirm your bet. If all your predictions are correct, you will win the parlay and receive the payout.

However, it’s important to remember that if any of your predictions are incorrect, you will lose the entire parlay bet. This is what makes parlays more challenging to win compared to individual bets. Even if you have three correct predictions and one incorrect prediction, you will lose the entire bet.

The potential payout for parlays can be quite enticing, as it offers the opportunity to win a larger sum of money with a smaller initial bet. However, it’s crucial to approach parlays with caution and carefully consider the likelihood of all the predictions coming true.

In my personal experience, I have found that parlays can be both exciting and frustrating. There have been times when I have won a parlay and enjoyed a significant payout, but there have also been times when a single incorrect prediction has cost me the entire bet. It’s important to do thorough research, analyze the odds, and have a good understanding of the sport or event you are betting on before placing a parlay bet.

Fanduel parlays offer an exciting and potentially rewarding betting option for sports enthusiasts. However, it’s essential to approach them with caution and understand the risks involved.
