A push (tie) removes that leg from the parlay and reduces it by one leg.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a parlay bet?
A parlay (also known as an accumulator) bundles several selections into one bet. Every selection has to win for the bet to pay. The odds compound together, pushing the potential payout higher.
What does a push do to my parlay?
A push (tie) drops that leg out of the parlay. A 4-leg parlay with one push collapses into a 3-leg parlay. The pushed leg is treated as odds of 1.0.
What happens if a single leg loses?
If any leg of the parlay goes down, the entire bet goes down with it. That’s the catch of parlays — every leg has to win (or push) for there to be a payout.
Do parlays pay off over the long run?
Parlays usually carry a steeper house edge than single bets, since the bookmaker margin stacks with every added leg. They’re high-risk, high-reward plays that work best when used sparingly.
