Round Robin Bets Explained

A round robin bet is an easy way of betting multiple parlays all at one time. It’s just like boxing dogs in a dog race if that makes any sense.

How they work is you select between 3 and 8 teams that you’d like to involve in the bet. You then choose to do parlays of 2 to 6 teams. The calculation of how many bets are included in this equation can get a bit hairy, so we’ll include a bet table below.

First we’ll give you an example though:

Let’s say you want to do a three way two team round robin. You like three teams who we’ll call the Colts at -7, Bears at -7 and Packers at +4. Let’s say you wanted your parlays to run for $100 each. Here’s how your round robin would look:

Parlay 1:
Colts -7
Bears -7
Betting $100 to Profit $260

Parlay 2:
Colts -7
Packers +4
Betting $100 to Profit $260

Parlay 3:
Bears -7
Packers +4
Betting $100 to Profit $260

In summary, you’d be laying $300 for a potential profit of $780.
