Parlays of favourites: three short-priced picks in one bet
Combine three likely outcomes into one bet to turn low odds into a decent price. All three must win.
The rule
Pick three favourites and multiply their odds. Three picks at 1.15 give about 1.52; at 1.25 about 1.95; at 1.35 about 2.46. One wrong pick loses the whole bet.
Why people use it
Single favourites pay little. A parlay makes the payout interesting while each pick still looks likely on its own.
Where it hurts
The chances multiply too: three picks at 80% each all win only about half the time. The bookmaker's margin is taken on every leg, so it adds up, and a parlay is a worse deal than three singles.
How our bot runs it
Three bots place one parlay a day, each from its own odds range: 1.10 to 1.20, 1.20 to 1.30 and 1.30 to 1.40. They take the three most likely outcomes of the day in the range, from different sports when possible. The stake is 0.5% of the account.
