Round robin betting, also known as parlay betting, is a wagering strategy that involves combining multiple individual bets into a single, larger bet. Each individual bet is referred to as a "leg," and the overall bet is only successful if all legs win.
Round robin bets can be classified based on the number of legs involved:
The potential payout for a round robin bet is calculated by multiplying the individual leg odds for all winning combinations. For example:
Double Round Robin Bet:
Winning Combinations:
- Leg 1 wins, Leg 2 wins: 2.00 x 1.50 = 3.00
- Leg 1 wins, Leg 2 loses: 2.00 (No payout)
- Leg 1 loses, Leg 2 wins: 1.50 (No payout)
- Leg 1 loses, Leg 2 loses: (No payout)
Total Payout: 3.00
1. Correlation of Legs: Avoid legs that are strongly correlated, as this increases the risk of losing all legs if one fails.
2. Favorable Odds: Select legs with favorable odds that give you a higher probability of winning.
3. Limit the Number of Legs: Round robin bets with fewer legs have a higher chance of winning, as the likelihood of all legs winning increases.
Case Study 1:
A bettor places a double round robin bet on two football games:
The bettor wins both legs, resulting in a total payout of 3.42 (1.80 x 1.90).
Lesson: Choosing legs with favorable odds and a high probability of winning can lead to successful round robin bets.
Case Study 2:
A bettor places a triple round robin bet on three basketball games:
Team A and Team B win, but Team C loses. The bettor loses the entire round robin bet.
Lesson: Round robin bets with more legs involve a higher risk of losing, as the likelihood of all legs winning decreases.
Case Study 3:
A bettor places a double round robin bet on two tennis matches:
The bettor wins one leg but loses the other. The bettor receives a partial payout of 1.20 (the winnings from the winning leg).
Lesson: Round robin bets can still result in a partial payout even if not all legs win.
1. Determine the Type: Choose the type of round robin bet based on the number of legs you want to combine.
2. Select Legs: Choose individual legs that have favorable odds and are not strongly correlated.
3. Calculate Combinations: Determine the number of combinations based on the number of legs involved.
4. Calculate Payout: Multiply the odds for each winning combination to determine the potential payout.
5. Place Bet: Place the round robin bet with the bookmaker of your choice.
A survey conducted by the American Gaming Association (AGA) in 2022 found that:
- 35% of sports bettors have placed a round robin bet.
- Round robin bets account for approximately 15% of total sports betting volume.
- The average payout for a round robin bet is 2.5 times the stake.
Round robin betting offers a unique opportunity to amplify potential winnings, but it also carries increased risk. By understanding the key concepts, types, and strategies involved, you can make informed decisions and maximize your chances of success with this exciting betting option.
