Round Robin betting is a safer way of betting parlays while keeping some upside. It involves selecting three or more single wagers to create a combination of parlays. You put a specific amount of money on each parlay, limiting both overall risk and upside.

Best Round Robin Bets Today – Tuesday, January 21
Here are four total bets with analysis to use in the round robin format.
MORE PROPS: NFL | NBA | NHL | PGA | CFB
Deandre Ayton 10+ Rebounds (-125)
Ayton’s found plenty of rebounding success for the Portland Blazers. He’s averaging 10.0 rebounds on 15.2 rebound chances in 29.8 minutes per game. He’s converting 65.9% of his chances, which is an extremely high number.
Ayton gets an outstanding matchup against the Miami Heat tonight. They’re allowing the third-most rebounds (16.5) per game to opposing centers. Donovan Clingan also posted 10 rebounds on 17 rebound chances against Miami earlier this season.
Ayton didn’t play in their first matchup, but he could find similar success. Clingan converted under 60% of his rebound chances, and the veteran should find more success in this matchup.
Tyrese Maxey 7+ Assists (-115)
Maxey’s taken on different roles for the Philadelphia 76ers this season. He’s averaging 5.8 assists on 10.1 potential assists per game. He’s also averaging 6.9 assists on 9.6 potential assists over his last 10 games.
Maxey gets an ideal matchup against the Denver Nuggets tonight. They’re allowing the third-most assists (10.1) per game to opposing point guards. The Nuggets are giving up a league-high 5.7 assists per game to shooting guards.
Maxey comes with tremendous assist upside, and Denver should be looking to get the ball out of his hands tonight.
Anthony Davis 28+ Points (-120)
Davis continues to be an elite scorer for the Los Angeles Lakers. He’s averaging 25.6 points in 35.0 minutes per game. He’s also averaging 17.9 FGA, 2.3 3PA, and 7.9 FTA per game this season.
Davis gets arguably his best matchup of the season against the Washington Wizards. They’re allowing a league-high 28.0 points per game to opposing centers. The Wizards have consistently struggled to slow down centers throughout the season.
Davis already boasts multiple 40-point games on the season. He comes with tremendous upside, and limited minutes are likely the only thing that can slow him down tonight.
Carlton Carrington 4+ Assists (-130)
Carrington’s seen plenty of ups and downs throughout his rookie season. He’s averaging 4.0 assists on 7.9 potential assists in 30.0 minutes per game. He boasts double-digit assist upside for the Washington Wizards.
Carrington gets an elite matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers tonight. They’re allowing the fourth-most assists (9.9) per game to opposing point guards. The Lakers are also allowing the seventh-most assists (5.2) per game to shooting guards.
What Is Round Robin Betting?
Let’s break down Round Robin betting with an example. For this example, we’ll assume there are four bets, which will be labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4.
There are 11 total combinations of parlays that you would run. Here they are:
- 1 & 2
- 1 & 3
- 1 & 4
- 2 & 3
- 2 & 4
- 3 & 4
- 1, 2, & 3
- 1, 2 & 4
- 1, 3, & 4
- 2, 3, & 4
- 1, 2, 3, & 4
You’ll bet on each of these combinations. For example, if you want $10 per bet, you’ll bet $110 total. You can win each of the 11 bets with differing payouts as well.
For example, if you win bets 1, 2, and 3, here are the individual parlays you’d cash:
- 1 & 2
- 1 & 3
- 2 & 3
- 1, 2, & 3
You cash all 11 bets if you sweep your card. This is a way to limit risks on a parlay, although it does also limit your overall possible payout compared to a normal parlay.
If you bet $110 on this combination of parlays (at -110 odds each), you would receive $630 if you sweep the card. If you solely bet the 4-leg parlay, you’d win $1,461.50.
The difference is you can win money back on Round Robin betting, while parlay betting is all-or-nothing.
