Parlays Guide
Parlays combine several market outcomes into one all-or-nothing position. The potential payout rises as you add legs, but every selected leg must win for the parlay to win.
Open Parlays Beta from the Telegram main menu, run /parlay, or open Trade → Parlay in the Mini App or World Cup Room.
A parlay can lose when only one leg loses. Estimated probability, multiplier, payout, and cash-out value can change and are not guarantees.
Build a parlay
- Select between 2 and 8 eligible outcomes.
- Remove any duplicate or conflicting legs.
- Enter a stake of at least $1.10. The Mini App currently offers $5, $10, $25, and $50 shortcuts.
- Refresh the odds or continue to preview.
- Review the latest quote and submit.
PolyBot refreshes leg prices before submission. If prices moved, your displayed probability, multiplier, and estimated payout may change.
Conflicting legs
PolyBot blocks combinations that cannot sensibly win together, including incompatible positive winner/draw selections from the same fixture. It also prevents duplicate outcomes from the same market.
If a leg is highlighted as conflicting, remove one of the highlighted selections before submitting.
What the estimate means
The client-side estimate multiplies the selected outcome prices to produce an approximate combined probability and multiplier. It helps compare slips, but it is not a guaranteed quote.
The executable quote can differ because:
- one or more leg prices changed;
- available liquidity changed;
- the provider adjusted or rejected the combination;
- the requested size exceeds what is available;
- the quote expired before submission.
Always treat the final review screen as the latest available estimate, not a promise of fill or payout.
Submission and status
“Submitted” means PolyBot sent the request; it does not by itself prove the position was fully confirmed. Track the parlay until it reaches a clear provider or on-chain status.
Common states include pending/submitted, active, won, lost, resolving, redeemable, cashed out, or failed. Refresh when a status looks stale because provider acknowledgment and indexing can arrive later than the initial response.
Parlay value can appear in the Telegram Positions Value total before a combo position appears in the standard portfolio list. The parlay screen remains the source of truth for parlay lifecycle details.
Cash out
Cash out is available only when the provider returns an executable cash-out quote for an active parlay.
- The estimated cash-out value can move before execution.
- A quote can disappear or be rejected as markets move.
- Cash out may be unavailable because of status, liquidity, provider rules, or a terminal result.
- Won, lost, resolving, already-cashed-out, or otherwise terminal parlays do not offer a normal cash-out action.
Never assume you will be able to exit a parlay early.
Claiming a win
When a winning parlay becomes redeemable, use the claim action shown in the parlay or portfolio flow. A queued or submitted claim can take time to confirm and index.
If it is marked won but not yet redeemable, wait for settlement to finish and refresh. Do not submit repeated actions while one is pending.
Risk checklist
- Every leg must win.
- More legs normally reduce the chance of winning.
- Prices and quotes can change during review.
- Thin liquidity can reduce the available size or prevent execution.
- Cash out is optional provider functionality, not guaranteed downside protection.
- Settlement depends on every underlying market reaching a terminal result.
- A displayed estimate can differ from the final fill, cash-out amount, or payout.
Troubleshooting
- Cannot submit — confirm 2–8 legs, at least $1.10 stake, no duplicate/conflicting legs, and sufficient tradable balance.
- Odds changed — this is expected when underlying markets move; review the refreshed slip.
- Cash out unavailable — the provider did not return a usable quote for the current status.
- Still pending — refresh later and avoid creating duplicate submissions.
- Won but cannot claim — the combo may still be settling or indexing.
