Principled Man Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 [From espn.com] A man who bet $5 on a 15-leg parlay card at a William Hill sports book in Nevada needed the New England Patriots to win by more than seven points to win $100,000 on Monday.Because the Patriots beat the Baltimore Ravens by exactly seven, 30-23, the result of the 15th game of the parlay, after the previous 14 had come through, was a push.William Hill spokesman Michael Grodsky confirmed to ESPN that it was an all-or-nothing parlay card. As such, the push didn't reduce it to winning a 14-leg parlay; it made the entire card worthless. I would have most probably soiled my pants in royal fashion....... :laughing guy: :laughing guy: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeaveMyThingAlone Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 He should have hedged. He could have put a ton of money on the Ravens at +7.5 (buying a half a point) and guaranteed himself a big profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You fill in specific circles like you do with a lottery ticket. It's all or nothing. I play them when I visit Las Vegas. The best I've ever done is 8 out of 15...... :doh: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
