Same Game Parlay

Also known as: SGP

A parlay where all selections come from the same match or event. For example, combining Team A to win, Over 2.5 goals, and a specific player to score in one football match. SGPs have become extremely popular with recreational bettors but often carry very high margins for the bookmaker.

Related Bet Types Terms

In-Play Bet (Live Bet)
A bet placed after an event has already started, with odds that update in real-time based on the current state of play. In-play betting offers dynamic odds that change with every goal, point, or significant event. It requires quick decision-making and offers opportunities not available pre-match.
Futures
A bet placed on the outcome of an event in the future, such as which team will win a league championship or who will win the MVP award. Futures bets are typically available well in advance and odds change as the season progresses. They tie up your bankroll but can offer significant value early in a season.
Moneyline (ML)
A straightforward bet on which team or player will win a match or event. There is no point spread involved. In a two-way moneyline (e.g., tennis), you pick the winner. In a three-way moneyline (e.g., football/soccer), you can also bet on a draw. Moneyline bets are the simplest form of sports betting.
Asian Handicap (AH)
A handicap betting system originating in Asia that eliminates the draw as a possible outcome by using quarter-goal and half-goal lines. For example, a -0.75 Asian Handicap splits your stake between -0.5 and -1.0 lines. This system offers more precise handicapping and often lower margins than European handicaps.
European Handicap (EH)
A handicap bet using whole numbers (e.g., -1, -2, +1) where three outcomes are possible: home win, draw, or away win with the handicap applied. Unlike Asian Handicap, draws are possible, meaning you can lose even with a one-goal margin. For example, Team A with a -1 handicap must win by 2+ goals.
Point Spread (Spread)
A bet where the bookmaker assigns a points advantage or disadvantage to level the playing field between two teams. The favorite must win by more than the spread (e.g., -6.5 points) for a bet on them to win. The underdog can lose by less than the spread or win outright. Common in American football and basketball.
