What a round robin is
A round robin turns a set of picks into every possible smaller parlay. Four picks "by 2s" creates six 2-leg parlays. You don't need every pick to win to get paid.

How it works
Round robin calculator: the basics
How many bets it creates
The number of parlays is the number of combinations. 4 picks by 2s is 6 bets, 5 by 2s is 10, and 5 by 3s is 10. Your stake applies to each one, so the total stake adds up fast.
Payouts by result
What you get back depends on which picks win, because each parlay pays different odds. The table shows the lowest and highest possible return for each number of winners.
Round robin vs one parlay
A round robin pays less than one big parlay if every pick wins, but it can still pay when one or two miss. It trades upside for more chances to cash.

FAQ
Round robin calculator questions
How does a round robin bet work?
You pick a set of selections and a parlay size, and the sportsbook places every combination as a separate parlay. Each parlay that wins pays out on its own.
How many bets is a 4-team round robin by 2s?
Six. Each pair of picks becomes one 2-leg parlay: AB, AC, AD, BC, BD and CD.
Is a round robin better than a parlay?
Neither is better on average. A round robin spreads your stake across more parlays, so it pays out more often but less when everything wins.
What happens if a pick pushes?
At most sportsbooks the pushed pick is removed from each parlay it's in, and those parlays pay at the remaining odds.
