ANYTIME TOUCHDOWN PARLAYS, EXPLAINED

Updated October 6, 2026

An anytime touchdown parlay strings together players to score at least one touchdown in their games. Each leg is listed as Anytime TD, Over 0.5, and it cashes if the player is credited with a touchdown at any point in the game. Every player on the ticket has to score for the parlay to pay.

Anytime TD legs are among the most popular picks on Parlay Lotto Picks. In the first week of October 2026, five of the six Hot legs on /discover were anytime touchdown picks, four from college football and one from the NFL. Here is how the prices work, how they stack into our tiers, and how to read the crowd before you build.

Reading anytime TD prices

The price on an anytime TD leg is the market's view of how often that player scores. Convert the odds to implied probability and it reads plainly.

A -235 leg implies about 70 percent. A -170 leg implies about 63 percent. A +175 leg implies about 36 percent. A +360 leg implies about 22 percent. Those numbers include the book's margin, so the fair chance is a little lower than the implied one.

Even short prices add up against you. Three legs at -235 each, all near 70 percent, combine to roughly a 1 in 3 chance before margin. That is why every ticket here shows an estimated hit chance alongside the price.

How scorer legs stack into tiers

Plus-money scorers climb fast. Two legs at +175 and +360 combine to about +1,165, a two-leg Quick Pick with a big number. Add another plus-money scorer and you are usually into Scratch-Off territory, +2,500 and up.

A Pick Six of anytime TDs is exactly six scorers, and the price depends on the mix. Six favorites at -170 come out near +1,500. Swap in a few plus-money names and the ticket moves toward Power Parlay range, +50,000 and up.

Every ticket is priced at one book and shows the fair price from market consensus. Hover a leg's odds to compare every book, because the same scorer can be priced differently at each one, and on a six-leg ticket those differences compound.

Reading the crowd with Hot legs

Hot legs on /discover lists picks that appear on several open tickets at once. It is the fastest way to see which scorers the house, staff and community are leaning on.

You can tail or fade a single pick without touching the rest of the ticket. If you like a scorer but not the parlay he is on, tail that one leg. If you think a popular name is overpriced, fade it and make your case in the ticket's chat room.

Popularity is not probability. A leg on three tickets has the same chance of scoring as it did on one. Use Hot legs to find ideas, then check the price and the hit chance before you build at /.

NFL and college football

Anytime TD legs show up for both NFL and college football, depending on which games are on the board that day. College slates bring more scorers to choose from and a wide range of prices, from heavy favorites to long plus-money names. NFL scorers tend to be more familiar to most readers.

For today's football tickets, see /picks/nfl and /picks/ncaaf. Each sport page shows that day's house ladder, from short Quick Picks to Mega Parlay moonshots. Every leg is graded automatically from ESPN box scores, and tickets that cash move to /discover?status=won.
