The Mathematical Parlay Formula
A standard parlay payout is calculated by multiplying your initial stake by the decimal odds of each winning leg.
Payout = Stake × (Odds 1 × Odds 2 × Odds 3 × ... × Odds N).
| Scenario for Leg | Multiplier Used in Calculation | Impact on Overall Ticket |
|---|---|---|
| Full Win | Exact Decimal Odds (e.g. 1.95) | Multiplies payout by full 1.95x |
| Half Win | 1 + (Decimal Odds - 1) / 2 (e.g. 1.475) | Multiplies payout by half-profit factor |
| Push / Void | 1.000 | Preserves existing ticket multiplier with no change |
| Half Loss | 0.500 | Halves the accumulated payout but keeps ticket alive |
| Full Loss | 0.000 | Ticket is graded as lost |
Step-by-Step Parlay Calculation Example
Imagine placing 10,000 MMK on a 3-match parlay: Match A (1.90, Full Win), Match B (1.80, Half Win = 1.40), and Match C (2.00, Full Win).
Your total return = 10,000 × (1.90 × 1.40 × 2.00) = 53,200 MMK, delivering a clean 43,200 MMK net profit.
