Why do 2-team parlays pay 2.6 to 1?

Where are you getting 52.5%? If they pay 2.6-1, you have to win 1/2.6 times, or 27.78% of the time for it to be 0EV.

Again, I think the stat is regarding per game and not per parlay.

Oh, I thought we were talking about the same game.

I get a value of 52.70% as breakeven. But if you pick each game separately, you'll profit at 52.70%, so what's the question?

(Also, I meant 1/3.6 in my previous post, not 1/2.6)
