Round Robin Bet
A round robin bet is a set of smaller parlays automatically generated from a list of selections, so some can still win even if one selection loses.
What it means in practice
A round robin bet is a wagering format that automatically creates a set of smaller parlays from a larger list of selections. Instead of placing all chosen picks into one all-or-nothing ticket, the bettor selects a parlay size -- typically doubles or trebles -- and the system builds every possible combination of that size from the list. A round robin of three teams in two-leg parlays, for example, produces three separate parlays.
The appeal is partial coverage. Because the format spreads selections across many overlapping combinations, a single losing leg does not wipe out the entire stake the way it would in one large parlay. Some of the generated parlays can still settle as winners. The trade-off is cost: each combination is a separate stake, so a round robin commits more total money than a single accumulator, increasing the handle the bettor puts through. The format is closely related to the teaser and other multi-bet structures in how it packages several wagers into one action.
From an operator and affiliate standpoint, round robins are commercially useful because they raise stake and handle per bettor while preserving the elevated betting margin that parlays carry. More combinations placed means more total wagered and higher effective margin than a single parlay on the same picks, which lifts player betting volume and can strengthen RevShare contribution. As with all parlay-style products, larger payouts on winning combinations introduce volatility that affiliates should expect in their month-to-month revenue.

A parlay (also called an accumulator or multi-bet) is a single wager that combines multiple selections into one bet. All selections must win for the bet to pay out, with combined odds producing higher potential returns and higher risk.
Accumulator Bet
An accumulator bet combines multiple selections into one wager where all picks must win for the bet to pay out, multiplying odds across each selection.
Betting Margin
The betting margin (also called overround, vigorish, or juice) is the built-in profit margin a sportsbook applies to its odds, representing the difference between the true probability of outcomes and the implied probability reflected in the offered odds.
Player Betting Volume
Player betting volume (also called handle or wagering volume) is the total amount of money wagered by a player or group of players over a given period, regardless of whether the bets win or lose.

A teaser bet is a multi-selection wager where the bettor adjusts point spreads or totals in their favor across two or more selections, accepting reduced odds in return.
