Definition
A same-game parlay combines multiple bets from the same game into one wager. Unlike traditional parlays, SGP legs can be correlated (e.g., player over on rushing + team wins). Sportsbooks adjust odds for correlations, but SGPs can still offer value in certain situations.
Example
Chiefs vs Raiders SGP: Chiefs -3 + Mahomes over 275 passing + Kelce anytime TD. If Chiefs are winning big, Mahomes likely throws for 275+. The correlation means reduced odds compared to a standard parlay.
