Using standard -110 odds on each leg of the parlay, a fair three team parlay payout is 6.96 times whatever your wager amount was. If you bet $10 on a three team parlay with all legs at -110 odds, your three team parlay payout would be $69.58 and your profit would be $59.58 ($69.58 – $10 bet).
Calculating Payouts From Positive Moneyline Odds A $50 bet at +150 odds, for instance, is calculated as 150/100 (which yields 1.5), multiplied by $50 (1.5*$50=$75). A winning $50 bet at +150 odds would return $125 total to the bettor ($75 profit plus the original $50 bet.)

Because parlays provide the house with a massive edge. To understand just how great the house edge is with parlays, we must first define the term "hold." The hold is the percentage of money the bookmaker holds onto after all bets have been settled and paid out. Think of it as a win percentage for the books.
By definition, a parlay is a group of multiple individual bets (two or more) that are connected together and treated as one big wager. In order to win the entire bet, you have to win each of the individual bets on your parlay. If you lose one individual bet, then you lose the entire parlay bet.
