Can someone explain to me what round robin bets are? Like if I have 5 fights I want to bet on and do a 5-way?

   Heads Up Poker

   Round Robin typically means you have every 4-fight parlay combination. You can lose any ONE of the fights, and you’ll still win your bet.

   Because it’s basically like having every 4-fight parlay, depending on which fight you lose, and which underdogs/favorites you picked that won, you will win or lose more or less money accordingly.

   You won’t win as much as a 5-fight parlay, but you’ll win more often.

   So…to break it down…If the following fighters are paired in 5 fights: A vs. B; C vs. D; E vs. F; G vs. H; and I vs. J.

   You pick fighters A, C, E, G, and I in a Round Robin. You actually have each of the following 4-fight parlays: A/C/E/G, A/C/E/I, A/C/G/I, A/E/G/I, and C/E/G/I. If your bet was $100, you’ve got $20 on each 4-way parlay. Even if all 5 fights win for you, you probably won’t win as much as you would have for a $100 5-way parlay.
