PARLAYFORMULA
A more complex bet which involves parlaying your winnings from one race into one or more other races.

To parlay means to create a single bet that links together two or more individual bets and is dependent on all of those bets winning together.

You can have a Parlayformula on a minimum of two and up to a maximum of six races, and you can place a combination of Win, Place, Win & Place or Quinella bets. You can expand your options by parlaying your bets over 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 races using a Formula Number, which means you do not have to be successful in every leg to be a winner. For example, if you take a Formula 3 bet over 4 races, the TAB computer will automatically generate all possible combinations of 3 races with this bet. To collect a dividend you must be successful in at least 3 of your 4 selected races.
