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.

MORE PROPS: NFL | NBA | NHL | PGA | CFB
Jalen Duren Double-Double (-215)
Duren’s performed well this season, as he’s averaging a double-double through 63 games. He’s averaging 11.4 points and 10.3 rebounds in 25.8 minutes per game. He’s quietly double-doubled in 9 of his last 12 games.
Duren gets an elite matchup against the Washington Wizards tonight. They’ve struggled against centers, allowing the most points (26.5) and second-most rebounds (16.9) per game to the position. The Detroit big man has played limited minutes in two games against Washington, but he’s double-doubled in both games regardless.
D’Angelo Russell 6+ Assists (-120)
Russell’s seen mixed results through 20 games with the Brooklyn Nets. He’s averaging 5.7 assists on 11.8 potential assists in 24.3 minutes per game for them. He’s played bigger minutes in each of his last two games, posting 7 assists in both games.
Russell gets an outstanding matchup against the Chicago Bulls. They’re allowing a league-high 10.3 assists per game to opposing point guards. Russell’s found success in recent games, and this is his best matchup in recent games.
Wendell Carter 22+ PRA (-130)
Carter isn’t a dominant player, but he’s found some success this season. He’s averaging 8.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in only 25.6 minutes per game. He’s seen mixed results in recent games, but he recently flashed 17-point and 15-rebound upside.
Carter gets an ideal matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans tonight. They’re arguably the worst team in the NBA against centers, allowing 46.4 PRA per game to opposing centers. Carter boasts solid upside in this type of game, and he’s an outstanding option on this slate.
Domantas Sabonis 13+ Rebounds (-110)
UPDATE: Sabonis is now OUT for tonight.
Sabonis is argubaly the best rebounder in the NBA. He’s averaging 14.3 rebounds on 24.4 rebound chances in 35.8 minutes per game this season. He’s also posted 13+ rebounds in seven of his last nine healthy games.
Sabonis gets an elite matchup against the Golden State Warriors. They’ve struggled against rebounding centers, allowing the third-most rebounds (16.4) per game to the position. Sabonis is averaging 13.5 rebounds on 18.0 rebound chances per game against Golden State.
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.
