FORCE: Degen EconomyUNIVERSE: TradingCLUSTER: Prediction Markets

The hidden difference between a parlay's true combined odds and the lower odds a sportsbook actually pays out, representing the platform's built-in profit margin on multi-leg bets.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Once you actually calculate the parlay markup, that six-leg bet is basically never worth the price."

LORE & ORIGIN

Named within prediction-market and sharp-bettor communities analyzing why parlays are structurally worse value than betting each leg separately, exposing the sportsbook's margin as a distinct, quantifiable concept.
