Understanding Correlated Events in Parlay Wagers

When placing parlay wagers, it’s important to remember that you cannot include events that are considered “correlated.”

What Are Correlated Events?

Correlated events—sometimes called “connected events”—are situations where the outcome of one bet is closely related to another. This often means that if one bet wins, the other is highly likely to win as well.

Examples of Correlated Events

• Including both the moneyline and run-line for the same baseball game in a parlay. If the moneyline wins, the run-line is also likely to win, making the bets too closely connected.
• Combining the favorite/underdog on the run-line with the over/under for the same game.
• Parlaying the outcome of the first half of a football game with the full game’s final outcome, as these bets depend on each other.
• If an event’s point spread is 30% or more of the total, you cannot parlay the favorite/underdog against the spread with the over/under for that same game.

What Happens if I Add Correlated Events to My Bet Slip?

No worries! If you accidentally add two correlated events to your bet slip, our system will prompt you to remove one before you can proceed.
