PARLAY CARDS A parlay is a single bet that links multiple wagers; to win the bet, the player must win all the wagers in the parlay. If the player loses one wager, he loses the entire bet. However, if the player wins all the wagers in the parlay, he wins a higher payoff than if he had placed the bets separately.
On Parlay Cards the odds are fixed. The minimum wager is $2. And the maximum is $100 per card. Parlay Cards will be available at the Delaware Park Race and Sports Book on Wednesdays by 12 noon.
Delaware Park offers the following types of Parlay cards:
Half-Point Parlay Card
Teaser Card
Super Teaser Card
HALF-POINT PARLAY CARD The Half-Point Parlay Card is the most popular type of card in Las Vegas and will offer payoffs ranging from 6.5 for 1 on a three-team Parlay to 800 for 1 on a 10-team Parlay. All point spreads use half points, eliminating the possibility of a tie.
Half-Point Parlay Card Payoffs
3 for 3 pays 6.5 for 1
4 for 4 pays 11 for 1
5 for 5 pays 20 for 1
6 for 6 pays 40 for 1
7 for 7 pays 75 for 1
8 for 8 pays 150 for 1
9 for 9 pays 375 for 1
10 for 10 pays 800 for 1
TEASER CARD On the Teaser Card, the point spreads differ from those on the half-point card. The favored teams have to cover fewer points in order be winning selections. The underdog teams receive more points. The payoffs on the Teaser Card are lower than they are on the Half-Point Card because of the advantage the player gets on the point spread. On a Teaser Card, players may Parlay from 3 to 12 teams and receive payoffs ranging from 13 for 5 to 65 for 1. All point spreads use half points, eliminating the possibility of a tie.
