I am pretty good with numbers...I know some people aren't, so here is the basic deal:

If you do a parlay, you can also do a "round robin" bet where it will take every combination of legs and turn them into smaller parlays.

EX: Say you do a 4-leg parlay, with Legs A, B, C, and D. A "full bet" allows you a bet on all of the following:

A vs. B vs. C vs. D
A, B, C, and D as "stand-alone" games
A vs. B.
A vs. B vs. C
A vs. C
B vs. C vs. D
A vs. D
A vs. C vs. D
B vs. C
A vs. B vs. D
B vs. D
C vs. D

So if for example, you win legs A, B, and C but lose D, then you win every bet that doesn't include leg D.

The idea is to avoid getting zero return on a parlay if you don't hit all of them.

Getting 3 of 4 right will still yield you a profit, albeit much smaller than if all 4 hit. But it is better than losing it all.

These can get a little expensive with larger parlays. For a 4-teamer, there are 15 RR bets. You can just bet $1 on each.

For a 5-teamer, there are 31 bets. 6 I would expect would be 63 bets. Can get expensive pretty quick but you can still turn a modest profit even if you miss one leg.
