There’s no denying the popularity of parlays. Sports lotteries across the world use them, including countries where gambling is supposedly illegal. Just don’t expect fair odds from the government.

Instead, check out our parlays. You can pick anywhere between two and 12 outcomes, with odds ranging from 2.6-1 on two-team combos to 600-1 for the full 12-pack. You can even take a cross-sport parlay – perhaps you’re a New York fan who cashed in Sunday on both the Giants and Yankees.

Sharp handicappers tend to limit their parlaying to two outcomes, often playing the pointspread and the total on the same matchup. There are strategic situations where it may make sense to parlay rather than make two separate bets; for example, taking a heavy favorite and the “over.” For the favorite to cover at all, there will have to be some points on the board. Your parlay is already well on its way to cashing in.
