A Round Robin is a way to create multiple smaller parlays from a larger set of selections. Instead of betting on 5 teams in one giant parlay (where one loss kills the ticket), you bet on “3s from 5” or “2s from 4”.
This calculator allows you to customize your system. Enter your total selections and the size of the combinations (k) to see the total cost and potential return.

How Round Robin Works
Round Robins trade maximum potential payout for security.
Example: “2s from 3”
You pick 3 teams: A, B, and C.
- Standard Parlay: 1 Bet on A+B+C. (High Risk).
- Round Robin (2s): 3 Bets (A+B, A+C, B+C).
If Team A loses, the standard parlay pays $0. In the Round Robin, the parlay “B+C” still wins, allowing you to recover some money or even make a profit.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does Round Robin include single bets?
Usually, no. A standard Round Robin only covers the combinations (Parlays) of the size you select. If you want to include singles, you are looking for “Full Cover” bets like Patent, Lucky 15, or Yankee.
