How to use the XML Flash Parlay Calculator?

In the boxes under "Odds" enter the moneyline odds of each game in your parlay. If you choose a favorite, you must enter the moneyline with a minus (-) sign at the beginning (e.g. -120).
Note:  Most standard pointspread and total wagers have -110 moneyline odds. If you choose an underdog, simply enter the moneyline odds; no plus sign (+) is necessary (e.g. 120). Do not include decimal points.

Ignore the boxes that are not included in your parlay (leave blank in each box; they will not be factored into the parlay).

Enter the amount of your wager in the box next to "Bet Amount ($)" and click on "Calc".

The amount of a winning parlay wager will appear in the box next to "Profit". Note: The "Profit" does not include the amount wagered. To calculate another parlay, click "Clear" and start again.

What is parlay?

A parlay is a single bet that links together two or more individual wagers for a high payout. A 2 team parlay might pay 13/5, a three team parlay might pay 6/1, a four team parlay might pay 10/1, and so forth with the payouts getting higher with more teams or totals selected. For a single bet, 2 to 8 teams or totals can be selected. In order for the parlay bet to win, every one of the wagers must win or push (tie). If any of the selections lose, your wager loses, regardless of the outcome or cancellation of the other games. If one or more selections are a tie, postponed, incomplete, cancelled or rescheduled for another day, then the wager reverts to the next lowest number. For example, if you place a 5 team parlay and have 4 winners and a tie, your wager pays out as a 4 team parlay. If you place a 2 team parlay and one team wins and one is tie, the wager becomes a straight bet. The resulting wager will have the same risk amount with the win being calculated to reflect the odds of the remaining team (Example: On a two team $100 parlay with team A +110 and team B -110 if A ties and B wins the resulting wager will be a straight play on B risking $100 to win $91).
