How to Make an NCAA Parlay Bet

NCAA games are known for being exciting and unpredictable, which makes them very lucrative for those looking to place daring bets. Supporting the underdog can sometimes prove incredibly valuable, as upsets are not wholly uncommon. Making a parlay bet is a great way to make even more money. A parlay bet is a bet in which someone bets on the outcome of several games at once, instead of just one. The risk is greater, but so is the reward.

Instructions

    • 1

      Examine which teams are playing in upcoming games, and see how the odds match up. Some games that could be considered very one-sided are the better choice for inclusion in a parlay bet (although close games can be more lucrative when you guess right).

    • 2

      Choose which games you want to bet on, and pick who you are betting for or against. Sometimes you'll find bets relate only to a single day's games. Other times you can bet on games played throughout the week or even the season.

    • 3

      Make your combination based on your choices, and pool your choices into a single parlay bet.

    • 4

      Add a teaser to any bet to increase your chances of winning it. If you play using a website like BetUS.com, then it's easy to add in a teaser to your bet by clicking on the "Combination Bet" link (see Resources below).

      Add in proposition bets to give yourself even more chances of winning. Proposition bets are bets placed on specific circumstances that can occur during a game (number of interceptions thrown by a quarterback or number of field goals kicked, for example). These bets are separate from the parlay bet, but can be placed on the same games.
