The intended use of this page
Begin with the question behind adjusted SGP profit—estimate a same-game parlay return after a user-entered correlation reduction. For this comparison, the output describes an entered scenario and is not a guarantee.
Ticket count and return depend on leg prices, stake convention, void treatment, and correlation repricing.
A shared driver means leg probabilities cannot automatically be multiplied as independent events.
As a practical check, use an executable price for the exact selection and stake, not an earlier screenshot or an unavailable best quote.
For the selected event, cash, restricted credit, gross return, and net profit may require separate accounting.
Change one assumption at a time
Keep stake fixed and compare the accepted price with one realistic adverse quote.
For promotions or hedges, test the actual eligible maximum.
Do not change multiple prices when identifying the source of a return difference.
Stake belongs to the same period as the other entries. It is amount risked on the wager. Leg 1 decimal odds belongs to the same period as the other entries. It is first leg price before correlation adjustment. For adjusted SGP profit, Leg 2 decimal odds represents second leg price before correlation adjustment.
Leg 3 decimal odds is a separate input defined as third leg price before correlation adjustment. Book correlation reduction belongs to the same period as the other entries. It is estimated reduction from multiplying independent prices.
In this model, a source revision should stay visible rather than being blended into an unrelated adjustment.
Formula mechanics
Under the entered assumptions, the calculation uses adjusted decimal odds = multiplied odds × (1 − correlation reduction).
This tool evaluates payout or value using user-supplied prices.
A theoretical advantage can disappear after movement or rejection.
For this market, printed units determine how values enter the formula.
To compare straight bet payout separately, open the Straight Bet Payout after saving this baseline.
Compare calculated return with a price that can be accepted.
A theoretical payout is useless when limits prevent execution.
For the saved case, the answer is most useful as a baseline that can be updated.
Worked numbers
At this stage, follow the arithmetic once, then replace every figure with a sourced value.
For the Same Game Parlay Payout Calculator, these figures provide a concrete calculation path. They are not selected to make either side of a market attractive.
Applying the Same Game Parlay Payout rule: adjusted decimal odds = multiplied odds × (1 − correlation reduction).
| Adjusted total return | $596.26 |
|---|---|
| Adjusted decimal odds | 5.521 |
For this adjusted SGP profit example, treat the worked case as a test fixture: it should remain stable even when current market conditions move.
Under the entered assumptions, practical comparison begins after current values replace worked inputs.
The Dutching is useful only if that separate output affects the decision.
Record the Bankroll Growth assumptions separately even for the same event.
Settlement and data limitations
The sportsbook price, not an independence model, controls settlement.
For this market, review promotion terms, limits, push treatment, void rules, and whether stake is returned before comparing profit.
In the current scenario, a value from another event may use the correct unit while answering a different question.
Recalculation triggers
A useful Same Game Parlay Payout record identifies period, market price, and projected-field sources.
Record whether each Same Game Parlay Payout entry was observed, quoted, modeled, or assumed.
When using the result, keep source revisions and market moves as different update reasons.
The Parlay Payout is useful only if that separate output affects the decision.
Questions raised by the calculation
In Same Game Parlay Payout, why change only one field at a time?
On this page, a one-field revision makes the cause of a moved adjusted SGP profit visible.
In Same Game Parlay Payout, what if the market covers a different period?
Within this calculation, create another calculation for that period instead of scaling the old answer mechanically.
As a practical check, which grading rules matter here for Same Game Parlay Payout?
For this comparison, review promotion terms, limits, push treatment, void rules, and whether stake is returned before comparing profit.
