How a mix parlay pays: a three-match example
A mix parlay puts several matches on one slip, so a small stake can return a big multiple. Bet one without knowing how it is settled, though, and you end up asking "why so little?" or "why did that lose?". Here is how it works under the iBET789 rules, step by step.
The four rules
- A parlay needs at least two selections.
- The odds of every selection (EURO format) are multiplied together, then by your stake.
- One losing selection loses the whole slip.
- A postponed match counts at odds of 1.00 and the rest of the slip carries on.
A three-match example
Say you put 10 credits (10,000 Ks) on these three:
| Match | Selection | Odds |
|---|---|---|
| A | Home handicap | 1.95 |
| B | Over 2.5 | 1.90 |
| C | Away handicap | 2.00 |
Total odds = 1.95 × 1.90 × 2.00 = 7.41
If all three win you get 10,000 × 7.41 = 74,100 Ks back, stake included — far more than three separate 10,000 Ks bets that all win. That is the pull of a parlay.
If match B is postponed, it counts as 1.00: 1.95 × 1.00 × 2.00 = 3.90, so A and C winning returns 39,000 Ks.
If match C loses, the slip loses even though A and B won, and the 10,000 Ks is gone.
How many matches?
Each match you add multiplies the odds, but makes it harder for every pick to come in. With matches around 1.90:
- 2 matches → about 3.6
- 3 matches → about 6.9
- 5 matches → about 24.8
More matches, bigger prize — and one miss still loses everything. Leagues and teams you actually follow are the better picks.
How Myanmar Parlay differs
Besides the normal Mix Parlay, iBET789 has a separate Myanmar Parlay page. It shows the matches as Myanmar odds lines in the "goals (price)" style, which makes combining easier if that is the format you know. How each Myanmar odds line settles is covered in Myanmar odds in six worked examples.
Before you confirm
- The amount on the slip is in credits (1 credit = 1,000 Ks).
- Check the total odds and "Max Payout" before confirming; if a price moves, the slip tells you.
- Decide your budget first. There are tips on the responsible gambling page.
Start a parlay under "Mix Parlay" or "Myanmar Parlay" in the left menu of the iBET789 sportsbook.
