Depends on which book.

Some books add juice for parlays and some just treat it as though you put all of your first game winnings on the second game. Which book are you talking about?

When I calculate the payout with a parlay calculator I'm getting a higher payout than my actual play and it's all based according to them on the fact that I'm betting football moneylines.

Don't know what Bos means, but I know this.

Some books charge you extra for doing a parlay. What does this mean? This means that if you bet on game A, then on game B seperately, and took your winnings from game A and bet them all on game B, you would end up with more money comparative to a parlay on game A and B.

a 3 teamer in football at +150, +140, +130 should pay the exact same with those 3 spreads for a 3 team baseball. I don't see why it would be any different.

I have used a few books that just have a flat payout for parlays...no matter what the odds are. Even if you have all dogs the payouts are the same.

Look at what Pinnacle does. If you throw a moneyline in with 2 football bets they will multiply the moneyline factor times a 13/5 payout for the two football bets. They shave you on the payout.
