DKeX Parlays

DKeX launched multi-leg combos on 2026-08-26. It is the third venue here that can carry real parlay P&L, because it publishes both a parlay marker and a settled outcome — Kalshi and Polymarket US are the other two. Underdog and Novig mark parlays but never publish an outcome; ForecastEx and Rothera publish outcomes but sell no parlay.

Stake is taker-YES. A parlay is quoted by RFQ, so the buyer lifts the quote and is the taker; taker-NO flow is a cash-out counterparty exiting rather than a new stake. Same basis as every other venue's parlay series here.

Legs and sports come from the settlement report's market name, which spells the whole combo out — "Yes - DET Tigers -0.5 - Spread - 1st 5 Innings / Yes - Over 3.5 - Total Runs - 1st 5 Innings". Each leg is matched back to the single-leg market of the same name to recover its sport, which resolves 99.0% of legs; a combo with any unresolved leg is counted but left out of the sport split rather than guessed.

Everything is dated by TRADE date, not settlement date. A row says how much of the stake placed that day has resolved so far, so the newest days are the least settled. of all parlay contracts have resolved. Voided ($0.50) and pro-rated settlements are excluded from P&L and reported separately, so the drop is auditable.

Two figures, and the fee one is the comparable. Buyers are down before fees and after DraftKings Predictions’ all-in fee, which includes DKeX’s exchange fee — per contract, the same net basis used for the comparable Kalshi and Polymarket US rows. The clustered 95% interval on the gross return per contract runs % to % — . The interval is clustered on the combo, because every print of one combo shares a single settlement.

⚠ This page covers the combos in the trade records, which is about two thirds of them. DKeX’s daily market report accounts for 16,594,228 combo contracts; its time-and-sales report carries 11,304,853 of them, and 26,558 settled combos with report volume appear in no time-and-sales file at all. That is DKeX’s own publication, not a gap in collection — the files were re-downloaded from the source and match. P&L needs an executed price and only the time-and-sales records include one, so every level on this page (stake, contracts) is a floor rather than the venue total. The rates — price paid, win rate, return on stake — are measured on 11.2M contracts and are not affected by the missing third unless it trades differently, which cannot be checked.

The breakdown by price paid scores every combo trade against its settlement, after DraftKings Predictions’ all-in fee — on a 1¢ parlay that fee is 1¢ under the May tiers and 0.08¢ under the September ladder. DKeX prices combos in whole cents, so nothing trades below 1¢. Its records don’t say whether a trade was a buy or a sell, so a parlay sold back before settlement can’t be separated out the way Kalshi’s cash-outs are: every trade counts as a bet held to the end.

The parlay-versus-legs chart prices each leg at the last trade in its own single-leg market within the hour before the parlay traded, and counts only parlays whose legs are all in different games, as Kalshi’s chart does. That covers of DKeX’s settled parlay money: a parlay with a totals leg such as “Over 3.5 runs”, which doesn’t say which game, two legs in the same game, or a leg with no recent trade is left out.

The settlement-as-mark trap does not apply here, and it was checked. On Polymarket a settlement price is a running mark until the contract matured on a prior day, and treating same-day rows as final reports parlay buyers profiting. Every one of DKeX's combo tickers appears in the settlement reports exactly once, so no price ever moves, and 99.6% land on $0.00 or $1.00.
