Same Game Parlay

A Same Game Parlay (SGP) combines multiple bets from the same game into one parlay. Picks can be correlated; same team to win and score over a total; within the same matchup.

What is a Same Game Parlay?

A Same Game Parlay (SGP) is a parlay built entirely from one game’s markets; spread, total, player props, and game props.

Why it exists

Traditional parlays don’t allow correlated legs from the same game (e.g. team to win + their QB to throw for over 300 yards). SGPs are a special parlay product where the sportsbook prices correlated outcomes; adjusting odds to account for the correlation.

Common SGP build

  1. Game line; spread or total.
  2. Star player prop; passing/rushing yards, points, rebounds.
  3. Anytime TD scorer or first basket scorer.
  4. Game prop; first team to score, longest reception.

Trade-off

The convenience and correlation come at a cost; SGP odds are typically less favorable than the equivalent independent parlay. Sportsbooks build in a higher margin.

SGP+ (across games)

Some books offer SGP+ which lets you combine an SGP with bets from other games for an even longer parlay.
