Wager a parlay
How to wager on a parlay?
Making a bet at a sportsbook is an easy process and ticket writers are
more than willing to assist you. For the convenience of both the house
and player, the best way to make a wager is to use the numbers assigned
to each team by the official Nevada Sports Schedule. For the purposes
of this discussion and for a point of reference, let's assume you wish
to place a bet on the following games, appearing on the tote board as
followed;

3 Washington
4 Dallas -3
5 Carolina -2
6 New Orleans
7 San Francisco
8 St. Louis -8

Difficulty Level: Intermediate Time Required: 2 minutes
Here's How:
1. The team's assigned number is the number to the left of each team.
In our above example, Washington is #3 and Dallas is #4, etc.
2. The games will be referred to as game "3/4" with Washington
being team #3 and Dallas being team #4, "5/6" with Carolina
being number #5 and New Orleans being #6 and "7/8" with San
Fran being #7 and St. Louis being #8.

3. The number to the right of the team is the odds/pointspread for that
team, with the number always being listed beside the favorite. In our
above example, Dallas is a -3 point favorite over Washington, Carolina
is a -2 point favorite over New Orleans and St. Louis is an -8 point favorite
over San Fran.
4. The home team is always listed on the bottom unless a neutral site
is noted. In our above example, Dallas, New Orleans and St. Louis are
the home teams.
5. If a player decides that he likes all the home teams to win against
the numbers, he would go to the window and declare "I would like
$10 to win $60 on team #4, #6 & #8, Cowboys, Saints and Rams on a
3 team parlay".
6. If a player decides that he likes all the favorites to cover the numbers,
he would go to the window and declare "I would like $10 to win $60
on team #4, #5 & #8, Cowboys, Panthers and Rams on a 3 team parlay".

7. If all 3 selections win in a 3 team parlay, a winning player would
collect $60.00 for every $10.00 wagered.
8. If any of the selections fall short, the entire parlay is a loser -
even if 9 of 10 win.
9. If a selected game goes "off the board" or for any reason
recieves a "no action" status by the book, then the parlay is
downgraded from a 3 team to 2 team etc.
10. Should one of the selected games end up in a "push", you
may have a winner or loser, rules vary here house to house - try to avoid
"ties lose" parlays.

11. Any combination can be made up using 2 teams or more to create a parlay
with the idea being that all teams selected must win for the player to
cash his ticket.
Odds for parlay's (with slight variances) are as followed
Wager on the money line

is an easy process and ticket writers are more than willing to assist
you. For the convenience of both the house and player, the best way to
