Parlay or Multiple Betting
No parlay wagers can be accepted where individual wagers are ‘connected’, ‘dependent’ or ‘correlated’. Using a baseball game as an example, let's say you want to take the Texas Rangers to win on the money-line and the Texas Rangers on the run-line. If the Texas Rangers win the game, it is also likely that they will win by at least two runs therefore the selections are said to be ‘correlated’ and cannot be parlayed together. For the same reason, we do not allow the favorite/underdog on the runline and the over/under of the same game to be placed in the same parlay.
In the same way, you cannot parlay the line for the first half of a football game with the line for the whole game or the total for the first half of a football game with the total for the whole game, as the two are ‘dependent’. Less obviously, but nonetheless correlated, are the favorite/underdog on the spread and the over/under of the same game placed together in a parlay or teaser bet when the spread is greater than or equal to 30% of the total.
