how do you calculate parlay odds?
i know there is a parlay calculator, but i like to know how do the books calculate it.
2 team parlay with -110 -110 is +260...how do they come up with that odd? what is the formula to use when you want to calculate a 2-team parlay with -105 -110?

Hence, true parlay odds on two bets at would be (1+100/110)*(1+10/110) ≈ . True parlay odds on one bet at and another at would be (1+100/105)*(1+100/110) ≈ . This means that when parlaying 2 teams at -110 for +260 you're actually getting each team at odds of about . Similarly, when parlaying 3 teams at -110 for +600 you're actually getting each team at odds of about . Quote:

No, not weird, that is normal. When you are parlaying teams that are all at -110, refer to the book's chart. When parlaying teams with different odds, books give true parlay odds.
