What are Dynamic Odds in Sports Betting?

Dynamic odds are odds that update in real time as you build or adjust a bet. Some betting apps now use this feature inside their Same Game Parlay builders and live markets to show you exactly how your total payout would change with each new selection.

Instead of having to look at the betslip to see what your odds will look like after adding a leg, dynamic odds instantly display the new odds. It gives you a live preview of your potential return before anything hits your bet slip.

For example, if you want to add a player's touchdown prop to the moneyline you have selected, rather than showing +110 on the prop you are selecting, it may say +250, which will be the new parlay odds if you select it. You can see the adjustment on screen before you add the next leg, helping you decide whether the added risk is worth the extra payout.

Dynamic odds are a preference for many people as they build parlays. It hasn't spread widely across betting apps yet, but it is being used currently by two leaders of the industry and is bound to catch on soon.

How to Use Dynamic Odds to Bet

1
Select the Same Game Parlay Builder for Desired Game

Start by picking the matchup you want to bet on, NFL, NBA, MLB, whatever’s live. Once you’re on that game’s page, tap the Same Game Parlay (SGP) tab. This is where betting apps now include their Dynamic Odds feature, letting you build your parlay and see the total odds change in real time.

Start Selecting Lines & Props

Here’s where the fun starts. As you scroll through player props and game lines, you’ll see how Dynamic Odds update before you even add each pick to your bet slip.

  • Tap or hover over a prop (like Over 250.5 passing yards or Anytime Touchdown Scorer).

  • The total odds shown will instantly change to reflect what your new combined payout would be if you added that leg.

  • Keep adding or removing props to test different combinations; it updates automatically every time.

  • Some props might gray out once you’ve made a pick; that means they can’t be combined in the same parlay.

  • You can toggle Dynamic Odds on/off in your settings if you prefer the classic builder view.

This setup makes experimenting with parlays way easier since you can see what each pick does to your total payout in real time.

My Thoughts on Dynamic Odds

Dynamic odds may not be everyone's preference, but once you start using them, it make parlay building easier. Before it was a thing, it took me longer to create a same game parlay, as I had to add and subtract legs to see what it did to the odds. Once you start using dynamic odds, it can be hard to go back.

The nice thing is, it's totally optional. You can use the feature whenever you'd like, but you can totally opt for the traditional method if you prefer.

In summary, dynamic odds make betting feel smoother and more interactive. Instead of guessing how your payout will change, you can see it update in real time as you build your Same Game Parlay. It’s one of those small features that makes a big difference. Parlays become faster, clearer, and way more fun to use. Expect to see dynamic odds become standard across most betting apps before long.
