What Round Robin means
A round robin automatically generates every possible smaller parlay combination from a larger group of individual picks. Selecting four teams in a "round robin by 2s," for example, automatically creates six separate two-team parlays covering every possible pairing. This structure offers a middle ground between straight betting (safest, lowest payout) and one giant parlay (riskiest, highest payout), since you can still profit even if not every single pick in your group wins, as long as enough of the individual sub-parlays hit.
