Combo Bets
Multiple selections combined — ALL must win। Odds multiply: 2.00 × 2.00 × 2.00 = 8:1। Higher payout but much lower probability। India: online betting growing via Dream11, Parimatch, 1xBet। Cricket betting most popular।
Reality
Bookmaker margin increases with each selection। 3-leg combo: ~14% margin vs 5% single। Fun with small stakes — not a reliable income strategy।
⚡ CalcWolf Insight
DraftKings and FanDuel data shows that parlays account for roughly 30% of all bets placed but generate over 50% of sportsbook revenue. The compounding vig is the reason — a 5-leg parlay gives the house a 20%+ edge compared to 4.5% on a straight bet.
