Same-game parlay
A combo where every leg comes from one game, like a team win plus a player goal, priced by the book as one package.
A same-game parlay (combiné même match) lets you stack bets from one game: the Habs win, a Habs forward scores, the total stays under 6.5. Every leg still needs to hit.
Why the price looks smaller than you'd expect
Legs from the same game are connected. If the Habs win, it's more likely one of their forwards scored. So the book doesn't just multiply the odds like a regular parlay. It prices the whole package with its own model, and the number you get is usually lower than the straight multiplication.
Example: a Saturday night SGP
Illustrative prices, not picks:
- Canadiens to win: 2.10
- A Habs forward to score: 2.60
- Under 6.5 goals: 1.55
Multiply them and you'd expect 2.10 × 2.60 × 1.55 = 8.46. The book offers 7.00 (+600). Put $5 on it and you get $35 back if everything hits, instead of the roughly $42 the simple maths suggests.
In implied probability terms, 7.00 means 14.3%, while 8.46 would mean 11.8%.
Know before you go
- If the player you picked doesn't dress, some books cut that leg, others cancel the whole ticket. Read the rules.
- SGPs usually carry a bigger margin than single bets. Fun? Yes. Cheap? No.
- A lot of books call this a bet builder.
