basically if you are playing with 3 teams or 4 teams for example, the 'Round Robin' gives you every possible PARLAY with thise combinations....

you have team A,B,C,D

a round robin, 2's, 3's & 4's = 11 wagers

6- 2 teamers (A&B, A&C, A&D, B&C, B&D, C&D)
4- 3 teamers (A&B&C, A&B&D, A&C&D, B&C&D)
1- 4 teamer ABCD

fun for the whole family

for example, if you liked 4 teams, the round robin would consist of:

6 two team parlays

4 three team parlays

1 four team parlay

good stuff...
any info on potential payouts? like how many you'd have to hit to break even, to win, etc...
assuming let's say 10 bucks a parlay, doing a 2-3-4 parlay?

if playing 4 teams, you would need to win at least 3 to make money.....

just think of them as INDIVIDUAL parlays.....

use the A,B,C,D example above

if you win A + B, & lose the others, you will only win 1 of your 2 team parlays & lose all the rest

Click to expand...

that's assuming you hit 4 out of 4. If you hit 2 out of 4 with straight 11/10 odds you would get back $36, 3 out of 4 would bring back about $175.....1 or 0 = umgatz

A Round Robin is a convenient way to enter multiple parlays at one time. They allow you to select between three and eight picks, choose to parlay or tease the bets, and combine them in parlays of two to six teams.
Example:

If you are confident in the New England Patriots -8, Buffalo Bills +4 and Minnesota Vikings -10, but you do not want to parlay them in a three-team parlay, you can choose to parlay them in three separate two-team parlays.
1st parlay:

New England Patriots -8
Buffalo Bills +4
Risk $5 to win $13

2nd parlay:

New England Patriots -8
Minnesota Vikings -10
Risk $5 to win $13

3rd parlay:

Buffalo Bills +4
Minnesota Vikings -10
Risk $5 to win $13

Your total risk amount for the three team, two way parlay is $15.00 (Max Risk) to win $39. (Max Win)

It allows you "room for error" in that you can make a little change if you hit 2 out fo 3 picks ....

I personally would play RRs over Parlays 100 out of 100 times

guys one more question:
when you actually process the round robin parlay, in your pending wagers do they list all parlays separate wiht their respective odds or what? so i know which ones hit and what their individual payouts were?
thanks

On Pinnacle I believe they show the results of each individual parlay in the round robin. Think you have to expand it with that + button.

Trojan is good for parlays, you'll get about 14:5 instead of 13:5 on 2 teamers. Better on higher numbers of legs as well, it's calculated honestly.
