MLB Same-Game Parlay Insurance

Same-game parlays give sports bettors the chance to add multiple markets from a single game into one wager with longer odds. Since the odds are longer, so too would be the cash payout you'd receive with a win.

The one downside to a same-game parlay is that if even one of the markets settles as a loss, the entire SGP does as well. BetMGM has a same-game parlay insurance offer that will mitigate some of the risk. With this offer, you will receive up to $25 back in bonus bets if exactly one leg of your qualifying SGP settles as a loss.
