📊 Understanding Parlay Odds

Parlay: A single bet linking two or more wagers; all must win for the bet to pay out.
Decimal Odds: The total multiplier for your bet. Multiply your stake by this number to get total payout.
American Odds: Positive odds (+) show profit on a $100 bet; negative odds (-) show amount needed to win $100.
House Edge: Parlays have higher house edges than straight bets, but they offer bigger payouts.
