If Bet
A conditional wager where the second bet is only placed if the first bet wins. It's like a parlay in structure but each leg is graded independently at its own odds.
Like telling a friend you'll go to dinner only if the movie is good — the second commitment depends on the first outcome.
Why it matters
If bets protect your bankroll by not risking additional money when your first pick loses, unlike a parlay where all money is at risk from the start.
How DMP uses this
DMP's research can help you sequence if bets by placing the highest-confidence leg first to maximize the chance the chain continues.
Common mistake
Confusing if bets with parlays — in an if bet, you profit from winning the first leg even if the second leg loses.
