Where these bets differ is that bettors also get a payout - albeit a much smaller one - if only most of their picks are correct. Like a standard parlay, bettors win and get a sizable return if they select all of the games correctly. In a progressive parlay bettors choose between four and 12 teams. A progressive parlay operates much like a standard pointspread parlay, but with a twist - they are harder to lose.
