Hey there! As a fellow tech geek and sports betting enthusiast, I know round robin and parlay lingo can be confusing at first. But as you get into the swing of things, you‘ll be placing 2s x3 wagers like a pro!
Let me walk you through exactly what "by 2s x3 wagers" means, how round robin betting works, and some strategy tips to maximize your payouts.
Round Robin Betting Basics
A round robin bet combines multiple 2-team parlays together into one larger bet. This gives you more chances to win compared to a standard parlay where you need all picks to be correct.
For example, let‘s say you want to bet on teams A, B, and C:
-
A standard 3-team parlay requires A, B, and C to all win.
-
A round robin allows you to win if A + B, A + C, or B + C win in any combination.
So if A and B win, but C loses, your round robin bet still wins money while a regular parlay would lose. Pretty cool right?
Breaking Down the 2s x3 Wagers
When you see "by 2s x3 wagers" on your bet slip, here‘s what it means:
-
By 2s – Each parlay will contain 2 teams (2 "legs").
-
x3 wagers – There will be 3 total 2-team parlays in the round robin.
For 3 teams (A, B, C) a "by 2s x3" round robin contains:
- Parlay 1: Team A + Team B
- Parlay 2: Team A + Team C
- Parlay 3: Team B + Team C
So you get 3 separate 2-team parlays that combine to cover all pairings.
Placing a By 2s x3 Wager
The amount you enter as your wager gets split evenly across each of those 3 parlays.
For example:
- You bet $30 on a "by 2s x3" round robin
- The $30 is divided into 3 x $10 bets:
- $10 on Parlay 1
- $10 on Parlay 2
- $10 on Parlay 3
As long as any 2 teams win in any parlay, you win some money! The payout amount depends on how many parlays hit.
Round Robin Betting Strategy Tips
Placing round robin bets takes some skill and planning to maximize your payouts. Here are my top strategy tips:
-
Stick to 2-team parlays – Adding more teams to each parlay drops your odds of winning dramatically. Keep it simple with 2-legs.
-
Pick your spots carefully – Don‘t just throw darts at a board. Handicap each matchup diligently to find the best risk/reward.
-
Manage your bankroll – Don‘t bet your entire bankroll on one round robin. Spread out your risk across multiple smaller RRs.
-
Watch for correlated outcomes – Avoid picking teams/totals where the outcomes are tied closely together, like a QB and his WR.
-
Shop for best lines – Use multiple sportsbooks to get the most favorable odds and maximize your payouts.
Ok, let‘s dive into an example round robin bet step-by-step so you can see this in action…
By 2s x3 Wagers Example
For this example, let‘s say I want to bet on:
- Dallas Cowboys (-7) vs New York Giants
- Kansas City Chiefs (-3) vs Los Angeles Chargers
- Tampa Bay Bucs (-2.5) vs New Orleans Saints
I‘ll place a $30 "by 2s x3" round robin bet. Here is how this breaks down:
The 3 Round Robin Parlays
Parlay 1
- Dallas Cowboys -7
- Kansas City Chiefs -3
Parlay 2
- Dallas Cowboys -7
- Tampa Bay Bucs -2.5
Parlay 3
- Kansas City Chiefs -3
- Tampa Bay Bucs -2.5
Bet Amount per Parlay
- Total Wager = $30
- Split evenly on each parlay = $10 per parlay
So I have $10 riding on each of those three 2-team parlays.
Potential Payout Scenarios
If all 3 teams win, I‘ll collect winnings on all 3 parlays for a nice profit. But the beauty is I can still win if 1 team loses:
- 3 teams win – Hit all 3 parlays for max payout
- 2 teams win – Hit 2 of 3 parlays to win some money
- 1 team wins – Only 1 parlay hits but better than losing the whole bet
Using round robin betting intelligently is a great way to increase your chances while still bringing in solid payouts. Once you get the hang of it, you‘ll be able to spot good round robin opportunities in your sleep!
