Parlay means to use something you already have—money, an advantage, a success—to gain something greater.

A gambler parlays winnings from one bet into stakes for another; a celebrity parlays fame into a business empire: She parlayed her viral video into a media career.

In betting, a parlay is a single wager combining multiple bets, where all must win for the bettor to collect.
