As tempting as the reward of a big payout may be, it is important to remain mindful of the risks associated with same game parlays. Odds and payouts vary based on individual bets placed with more outcomes being added later to your bet slip; further complicating things further could result in increased risk-reward ratios that exacerbate problematic gambling behaviors among at-risk individuals.

Young and vulnerable people are particularly vulnerable, being more tempted by the thrill of seeking large payouts and finding it harder than usual to control their spending or limit losses. Those experiencing gambling addiction should seek help, as the support and treatment available could have life-altering results.
