What is a parlay bet?

A parlay bet is a type of sports wager that combines at least two individual bets into one. In order to win the parlay bet, the bettor must correctly predict the outcome of every individual bet included in the parlay. However, if even one of the individual bets loses, the entire parlay bet is considered a loss.
