What is a Round Robin Bet?
A Round Robin bet creates multiple smaller parlays from a larger group of selections. Instead of needing all picks to win (like a traditional parlay), you can still profit if most of your selections win.
How It Works
Select Multiple Teams: Pick 3 or more games/teams you want to bet on
Choose Parlay Sizes: Decide if you want 2-team, 3-team, 4-team parlays or combinations
All Combinations Created: The calculator generates every possible parlay combination
Stake Per Parlay: Each individual parlay gets the stake amount you specify
Example
If you select 4 teams (A, B, C, D) and choose 2-team parlays, you'll get 6 parlays:
AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, CD
If you bet $10 per parlay, your total stake would be $60 (6 parlays × $10).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a round robin bet?
A round robin bet creates multiple smaller parlays from a larger group of selections. Instead of needing all picks to win like a traditional parlay, you can still profit if most of your selections win. For example, with 4 picks and 2-team parlays, you get 6 separate parlays covering all possible 2-pick combinations.
How many parlays does a round robin create?
The number of parlays depends on your selections and parlay sizes. With 4 picks: 2-team parlays create 6 bets, 3-team parlays create 4 bets, and 4-team parlays create 1 bet. The formula is "n choose k" - combinations of n selections taken k at a time. More selections and parlay sizes exponentially increase your total number of bets.
Is a round robin better than a regular parlay?
Round robins offer more safety but require more capital. A regular parlay has higher potential returns but all picks must win. Round robins let you profit even with one or two losses, making them ideal for bettors who want parlay-style returns with reduced risk. The trade-off is a higher total stake since you're placing multiple bets.
What's the best parlay size for round robins?
2-team parlays are the safest, requiring only 2 of your picks to win for a payout. 3-team parlays offer a balance of safety and reward. 4-team and larger parlays have higher payouts but lower hit rates. Many experienced bettors combine sizes - using 2-team and 3-team parlays together for coverage.
How do I calculate my total stake?
Multiply your stake per parlay by the number of parlays generated. For example, with 5 picks and 2-team parlays only, you get 10 parlays. If you bet $10 per parlay, your total stake is $100. This calculator shows your total stake automatically so you always know your full risk before placing bets.
What happens if one pick loses in a round robin?
Only parlays containing the losing pick will lose. All other parlays remain active. For example, with 4 picks (A, B, C, D) and 2-team parlays, if A loses, you lose parlays AB, AC, AD (3 bets). But BC, BD, CD (3 bets) can still win. This is the key advantage of round robins over straight parlays.
Can I mix different sports in a round robin?
Yes, round robins work with any selections regardless of sport or bet type. You can combine NFL spreads, NBA totals, and MLB moneylines in the same round robin. The calculator treats each selection independently - just enter the odds and it generates all combinations automatically.
What's the difference between a round robin and a Trixie/Yankee bet?
Trixie, Yankee, and similar bets are specific round robin configurations. A Trixie is a 3-pick round robin with 2-team and 3-team parlays (4 bets). A Yankee is a 4-pick round robin with 2, 3, and 4-team parlays (11 bets). This calculator lets you customize which parlay sizes to include, giving you more flexibility than fixed bet types.
