Multi-part sports bets NYT Crossword Clue
ANSWER: PARLAYS
The answer PARLAYS refers to multi-part bets that combine two or more individual wagers into a single ticket — if all the selections win, the payouts roll together for a much larger return; if any selection loses, the entire parlay loses. In sports betting, parlays let bettors multiply potential winnings by linking outcomes (point spreads, moneylines, totals, etc.), but they’re riskier because every leg must hit.
