Over at BetJam, for MLB Round Robins, they offer:

"Round Robins with 2's"

and

"Round Robins with 2's, 3's"

What the heck is the differcence? I don't get the "3's"

Let's suppose (for example) I want to Round Robin 3 underdogs today - Mets, Rangers, Giants

My understanding of the Round Robin with 2's is that I'll have 3 separate parlays for the Round Robin combos:
1 Mets & Rangers
2 Mets & Giants, and
3 Rangers & Giants

If either of those 3 cash, I get credited for the win, correct?

Well, what is the "Round Robin with 2's, 3's" option?

This might be of Help.............

A Round Robin Bet is a convenient way to create mutiple parlays at one time. Most sportsbooks will allow you to pick 3-8 lines and the combine them in parlays of 2-6 teams. You can make the same bet by making individual parlays but it would take a lot longer. The Round Robin Bet allows you to make multiple parlays very quickly. Bettors will use a Round Robin Bet when they feel very strongly on certain pick on a bet line. They then want to include that bet line with other teams to maximize the profit potential.

For example, you feel strongly on the following NFL lines:

Atlanta Falcons -3
Buffalo Bills +7
Chicago Bears -6

Rather than creating a 3-team parlay, you choose to place a Round Robin bet and create all possible 2-team parlays from the 3 lines.

First Parlay:

Atlanta Falcons -3
Buffalo Bills +7
Risk $5 to Win $13 (2.6/1 odds)

Second Parlay:
Atlanta Falcons -3
Chicago Bears -6
Risk $5 to Win $13 (2.6/1 odds)

Third Parlay:
Buffalo Bills +7
Chicago Bears -6
Risk $5 to Win $13 (2.6/1)

Your total risk amount is $15. The Round Robin wager will show up in your account as 3 2-team parlays with $5 bet each. The wagers will then be settled according to regular parlay rules. You could have made the same wagers individually on single parlays but the round robin is faster to make your play before lines move. If you select more than 3 lines or teams then the number of bets goes up with the possible amount of combination of wagers. Round Robins can get very expensive as you choose more lines because you will be making more wagers.

if you do it i 2's and 3's with three teams selected you will get 3 two teamers and 1 three teamer. Add another pick or two and you will get a bunch more variations.

I recently saw a guy with an 8 teamer in all combinations for a dime apiece hit. There were like 56 combos, it was rediculous. Guy won over a million dollars on one RR.

I will use a RR 2 & 3 with 5 games. If you wager $1, the total amount of the wager will be $20 and if you include a few + money games in the mix, you can get the pot up to say over $125 if you can hit them all. I have also tried it with NHL using straight dawgs and some favorite teams to win by -1 1/2. That really gets the money in the hopper, but hard to hit. A fun way to wager nevertheless. I also like the RR 234 with only using four teams. This wager for $1 will cost $11 and get you in the $75 to $90 range with a complete hit. A nice profit for me for the day. Good luck with the Round Robin's.

each one is a seperate bet, if you hit one and lose two then you get credited with one win and two losses.

You really want to live on the edge, do a RR with 5 teams playing every combo of 2, 3, 4, 5. Just missed one of these last year by 1 team.
