- Convert all odds to decimal format (follow the steps in this post or use my Odds Converter)
- Multiply together each of the decimal odds
- The final product represents the true parlay odds (in decimal form)
Example: What are the true parlay odds when parlaying a line of -800 with a line of -600?-800 in decimal odds form = 1 + 100/800 = 1.1250
-600 in decimal odds form = 1 + 100/600 ≈ 1.1667
True parlay odds = 1.1250 × 1.1667 = 1.3125
1.3125 in US odds form = -100 / (1.3125-1) = -320
