Fanduel Helping to Popularize the Same Game Parlay

Once upon a time, parlays involving the same game weren't allowed by sportsbooks.

In fact, sportsbooks would go to great lengths to make sure that two parts of a parlay weren't connected.

For instance, if you wanted to bet on the New York Yankees to win the AL East and the Toronto Blue Jays to finish last, you likely wouldn't be able to get the bet accepted.

Things have changed, and the "same game parlay" (or Bet Builder) is being offered by an increasing number of sportsbooks.

Now, if you want to bet on Tom Brady to throw for three TDs for the Buccaneers and Mike Evans to catch two of them, you can.

So - which sportsbooks offer this feature?

If you reside in the United States and live in a state that has legal sports betting, Fanduel is likely your best choice, as they offer their "Same Game Parlay" which has exploded in popularity over the past year or so.

If you are outside of the United States, Bet365 has their "Bet Builder" feature, which allows you to build parlay bets that can include action from the same game.

It should be noted that there are some restrictions.

For instance, certain European sportsbooks offer the ability to build same game parlays, but this feature isn't available for all of the major sports.

The same game parlay is growing in popularity, and more and more customers are demanding that their books offer it.
