What is a round robin?

Round Robin

Round robin wagers are a convenient way to create multiple parlays at once. Select between 3 and 8 lines, then combine them in parlays of 2 to 7 teams. The advantage to this type of wager is you can make your money back by hitting only one winning combination. 

For example:

• New England Patriots: -3
• Buffalo Bills: +6
• Minnesota Vikings: -8

Instead of creating a 3-team parlay, you can place a round robin and create all possible 2-team parlays from the three lines. For example:

 

First parlay:

• New England Patriots -3 
• Buffalo Bills +6
• Risk $5 to win $13 (2.6/1 odds)

 

Second parlay:

• New England Patriots -3
• Minnesota Vikings -8
• Risk $5 to win $13 (2.6/1 odds)

 

Third parlay:

• Buffalo Bills +6
• Minnesota Vikings -8
• Risk $5 to win $13 (2.6/1 odds)

 

The total risk amount for this 3-team, two-way round robin is $15 to win a maximum of $39 (3 x $13).

By selecting more than three lines, you can increase the size and/or number of parlays that are created:

 

Number of Lines	Number of Ways (parlay size)	Number of Parlays
3	2	3
4	2	6
4	3	4
5	2	10
5	3	10
5	4	5
6	2	15
6	3	20
6	4	15
6	5	6
7	2	21
7	3	35
7	4	35
7	5	21
7	6	7
8	2	28
8	3	56
8	4	70
8	5	56
8	6	28
8	7	8
