Parlay bets are paid out at odds higher than the typical single game bet, but still below the "true" odds. For instance, a common two-team NFL parlay based entirely on the spread generally has a payout of 2.64:1.

Let's say you bet $100 on Everton -1.75 at odds 2.29. If they win by exactly two goals, then the outcome will be: $50 is refunded (H -2.0) $50 wins at 2.29 (H -1.5) For a total return of $164.50, or a $64.50 profit. However, the payout will be different. Obviously, H -1.5 would not "by itself" have odds of 2.29 - they would be lower.

Even if the gambler can tolerate betting ~1,000 times their original bet, a streak of 10 losses in a row has an ~11% chance of occurring in a string of 200 plays. Such a loss streak would likely wipe out the bettor, as 10 consecutive losses using the martingale strategy means a loss of 1,023x the original bet.

Here the bettor picks a horse and bets it will win, and makes an additional bet that it will show, so that theoretically if the horse runs third it will at least pay back the two bets. The Canadian and American equivalent is the bet across (short for across the board ): the bettor bets equal sums on the horse to win, place, and show.
