Sportsbooks love Parlays so much they often pay you to place them. Offers like “Acca Boost” or “Parlay Bonus” promise extra percentage winnings if you add more legs to your bet.
This calculator takes your potential win amount and adds the bonus percentage to show your Total Enhanced Payout. Use it to see if the bonus justifies the risk of adding that extra team.
Are Parlay Bonuses Worth It?
Usually, bookmakers tier these bonuses:
3 Teams: +5% Bonus
14 Teams: +70% Bonus
While a 70% bonus sounds amazing, winning a 14-team parlay is statistically near-impossible. The sweet spot for value is often in the 3 to 5 team range, where the bonus (5-15%) helps offset the bookmaker’s margin (vig), potentially creating a “Fair Odds” bet.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the bonus apply to the stake?
No. Bonuses are almost always calculated on the Profit only, not the total return. If you bet $100 to win $100 profit (Total $200) with a 10% bonus, you get $10 extra (10% of profit), not $20.
