What does my round robin pay?

A round robin turns your picks into a set of smaller parlays. Enter up to 8 picks in any odds format (American works), choose the parlay size and mark results to settle it.

Parlays4
Total risk$40.00
Total return$387.56
Profit+$347.56
If every selection wins the parlays return $387.56 (profit $347.56). Set a selection to Lost or Void to see how the bets settle. Your stake is spread over 4 parlays, so you can win some and still lose money overall.

How to use the round robin calculator

  1. Enter your picks (up to eight) in any odds format. American odds such as −110 and +150 work as typed.
  2. Choose the round robin type: by 2s, 3s, 4s and so on, or all sizes.
  3. Enter the stake per parlay.
  4. Mark picks as Lost or Void / push to see how the parlays settle.

You see the number of parlays, your total risk, the total return and the profit.

Round robin sizes

The number of parlays depends on how many picks you have and the size you choose.

PicksBy 2sBy 3sBy 4sBy 5s
331
4641
5101051
61520156

Example: four picks by 3s

Four picks at −110, +120, −105 and +150, with $10 on each parlay. That is 4 parlays and $40 at risk.

  • If all four picks win, the parlays return $387.56 (profit $347.56).
  • If the +120 pick loses, only the parlay made of the other three survives. It returns $93.18, a profit of $53.18 on $40.
  • Run the same picks by 2s and you get 6 parlays, $60 at risk and $273.76 back if everything wins.

When a round robin makes sense

  • You like several picks but cannot stomach losing everything on one miss.
  • You want a fixed number of parlays at fixed sizes, instead of choosing combinations by hand.
  • Each pick is priced fairly. If your picks are weak, more parlays only lose faster.

For one parlay on every pick, use the parlay calculator. For British full-cover bets such as Yankees and Lucky 15s, see the bet calculator. Read what is a parlay and same game parlays for the risks.

Round Robin Calculator FAQ

What is a round robin bet?

A group of parlays built from the same picks. Four picks in a round robin by 3s make four 3-team parlays, each with a different combination of three picks.

How many parlays are in a round robin?

It is the number of ways to choose the parlay size from your picks. Four picks by 2s is 6 parlays, by 3s is 4 parlays. Five picks by 3s is 10 parlays.

Can I win a round robin if one pick loses?

Yes, if the other picks can still form winning parlays. With four picks by 3s, one loser leaves one winning parlay. With four picks by 2s, one loser leaves three winning 2-team parlays.

How much does a round robin cost?

The stake per parlay multiplied by the number of parlays. $10 on each of 4 parlays is $40 at risk.

What happens to a push in a round robin?

The pushed pick drops out of the parlays it was in, which then pay at lower odds. That is what the Void / push setting does here.

Is a round robin better than one big parlay?

It is not better value, just less all-or-nothing. You risk more money in total, and a round robin by 2s pays much less than a single parlay on the same picks.
