# 8. Parlays

A parlay is a wager type in which two or more bets are linked together to create one bet with a greater payout, but all the bets must win.\
\
So instead of betting $10 each on three games, you can make one $10 wager that will pay out more of all three teams win. But if even one loses, you lose your $10.\
\
The payouts will vary based on how many bets you include, and the prices of those bets.\
\
This MLB parlay with Mariners +114, Mets -220 and Marlins and Marlins -134 pays +443.\
\
Even more popular than traditional parlays featuring multiple games is the [same game parlay,](https://www.actionnetwork.com/education/same-game-parlay-guide) pioneered by FanDuel and now offered by almost every sportsbook.\
\
This feature allows you to parlay multiple bets from the same game, with the correlation of each event priced in. That means if you bet over 51 in Rams-Bengals and Matthew Stafford over 2.5 passing touchdowns, you won't get the full parlay payout, because those events are more likely to happen together.\
\
Same game parlays wildly popular in standalone NFL and NBA games.
