fanduel same game parlay leg graded void but payout math still feels short.

ran a same game parlay and had one of the legs voided cause the player didn’t suit up. rest of the legs hit, but the payout seems a little off when i run the numbers. i get that if a leg is voided, the parlay is just recalculated based on the odds of the remaining legs, basically as if that voided leg wasn’t there. but i still feel like the cashout is a bit less than what it should’ve been - like the math didn’t update totally right.

anyone else ever notice this? is there something in the fine print that can affect the payout when a leg gets voided, or am i just messing up my calc? curious if this is more common or if i’m missing a factor.

Yeah lol, I’ve seen that and the dumb part is it’s usually not “secret math,” it’s promo junk or rounding buried in the slip. If you used any boost, token, protected SGP crap, a void can nuke the extra value and the payout looks short as hell. I screenshot every slip like a psycho now because one online casino/sportsbook combo did that to me and support acted like I couldn’t read. Half the time the calc’s fine, the slip terms are just greasy lmao

Yeah, the dumb answer is usually the right one: your hand calc is treating it like a normal parlay, and same game parlays are their own little casino trick. They price correlation, then when a guy doesn’t suit up they don’t always just snip that leg and leave the rest alone. I had a Lakers SGP that was +780, one leg voided, settled like the live price should’ve been closer to +515. Felt short because it was. SGP math is more slots than straight betting: shiny reel, hidden gears.
