A combo bet (also called a parlay) lets you combine multiple selections into a single wager. This multiplies your potential payout, but also increases the risk. Every leg in the combo must win for the entire bet to cash.

For example:

• You bet on Dallas Mavericks to win (+3.50)
• And Toronto Raptors to win (+2.72)

If you combine them, your odds multiply (3.50 × 2.72 = 9.52). Win both, and you get over 9x your stake. Miss one, and the whole combo loses.

Combo vs. Parlay: What’s the Difference?

They’re the same thing. “Combo” is just what we call parlays on Shock.com.
Both let you link multiple bets together for a higher potential return.

How Combo Bets Work

1. Add multiple selections to your bet slip.
2. Your combined odds will update automatically.
3. Place your bet, and watch all your picks play out together.

Why Bet Combos on Shock.com?

Shock makes combos even better with Combo Boosts, automatic multipliers that increase your winnings as you add more legs.

That means your 9.52x combo might pay closer to 10.5x or 11x or more, just for stacking your picks.

Combo Limits & Rules

Some selections can’t be combined, such as:

• Bets from the same game that depend on each other’s result.
• Player-dependent or correlated markets, like “Player A to score” and “Team A to win.”

If you see a message like “Selections cannot be combined,” it means those picks are linked.

Combo Betting FAQ

How many picks can I combo?

There’s no strict limit on the number of selections you can combine, but keep in mind the maximum total odds allowed on Shock are 10,000. Once your combo reaches that cap, you can’t add more.

What happens if one leg is voided or canceled?

That leg is removed, and your combo recalculates automatically on the remaining selections.

Do ComboBoosts still apply if one leg is voided?

Yes, as long as your combo still meets the minimum number of legs required for that boost tier.

Can I mix sports in a combo?

Absolutely. Combine football, basketball, esports, and more, as long as the selections don’t conflict or overlap.
