NBA SGP 101

What does SGP stand for?

Same game parlay: A type of sports bet where multiple wagers are combined on the same game.

What is a same game parlay?

Choose multiple predictions: Instead of simply betting on the winner or loser of the game, you can choose various outcomes, like point spreads, over/under totals, player props, and more.

Combine them into a single bet: All your chosen predictions are then combined into a single parlay. This means that all your predictions must be correct for you to win the bet.

Higher potential payout: If all your predictions hit, the winnings from each individual bet are multiplied together, resulting in a significantly higher payout than a single straight bet.

What are some examples of an NBA SGP?

You could bet on the home team to win, the over on the total score, and a specific player to score over 20 points.

You could bet on the underdog to cover the spread, the first half ending in a tie, and both teams scoring over 100 points.

You could bet on a team to win, a specific player to get a triple-double, and another player to hit over 2.5 three-pointers.

Where can I bet NBA same game parlays?

What are the benefits of using NBA same game parlays?

The biggest draw of NBA SGPs is the chance to win big payouts with smaller wagers. Combining multiple bets within a single NBA game can significantly multiply your potential winnings compared to placing individual bets. NBA SGPs add a layer of excitement and engagement to watching a game. Having multiple predictions tied to the outcome intensifies the action and creates a more personalized rooting experience. NBA SGPs allow you to leverage correlations between different events within a game. For example, betting on the home team to win and the over on the total score might have increased odds of success if both are statistically likely.

What are the risks of using NBA same game parlays? 

Winning an NBA SGP requires all your individual predictions to be correct. This significantly increases the difficulty compared to single bets, as one mistake leads to losing the entire wager.

What should I keep in mind when betting an NBA SGP?

High risk, high reward: The potential payout with an NBA same game parlay is significantly higher than a single bet, but the risk is also much greater. All your predictions need to be correct for you to win.

Correlation matters: Consider the correlation between your predictions on your NBA SGP. Choosing independent correlated events like “Player A to score 20+ Points” and “Player B to record 5+ assists” can mitigate risk given that Player B’s facilitation is critical to getting Player A’s points.

Know your limits: Only bet what you can afford to lose, and manage your bankroll responsibly.

SGPs can be a fun and exciting way to add a twist to your sports betting, but it's important to understand the risks involved and bet responsibly.
