HOW TO PLAY

What’s a parlay card?

A parlay is a single wager that links multiple wagers; to win the bet, the player must win all the wagers in the parlay. If the player loses one wager, (s)he loses the entire bet. However, if the player wins all the wagers in the parlay, (s)he wins a higher payoff than if (s)he had placed the bets separately.

What are the odds?

On parlay cards, the odds are fixed. Please see the back of the parlay cards for more information.

Please Note:

“For” includes the amount wagered.

“To” does not include the amount wagered.

For example: 20 for 1 is 19 to 1; a $25 wager is: $25x19=$475.

What types of parlay cards are available**?

Delaware Sports Lottery offers the following parlay cards:

Early Bird card (Pro Only)
To play Early Bird cards, refer to the designated separate sheet for teams and point spreads. A new sheet is available each Monday and Tuesday.

Half-Point card
The Half-Point parlay card is the most popular type of card in Las Vegas, and will offer payoffs ranging from 6.1 for 1 on a 3-selection parlay to 2,500for 1 on a 12-selection parlay. All point spreads use half points, eliminating the possibility of a tie.

Teaser card
On a Teaser card, the point spreads differ from those o the Half-Point card. The favored teams have to cover fewer points in order to 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 20 selections and receive payoffs ranging from 12 for 5 to 1,000 for 1. All point spreads use half points, eliminating the possibility of a tie. Players may bet on both sides.

Super Teaser card
On the Super Teaser card, the point spreads are adjusted even more than with the Teaser card. The favored teams must cover even fewer points in order to be winning selections. The underdog teams receive more points, The payoffs on the Super Teaser card are lower than they are on the Teaser cards because of the additional advantage the player gets on the point spread. On a Super Teaser card, players may parlay from 4 to 20 selections and receive payoffs ranging from 11 for 5 to 80 for 1. All point spreads use half points, eliminating the possibility of a tie. Players may bet on both sides.

Retailer Football Wagering Hours (times are approximate and may vary)

Reverse Teaser card (Pro Only)
On the Reverse Teaser card, the point spreads are adjusted so the favored teams must cover a larger point spread and underdog teams must cover a point spread that is smaller, and, in some cases, even minus points. In some cases, both teams in a game may be minus points and you may not bet both teams in that game. Because of these point-spread adjustments, the payoffs are much higher than those found on the other Teaser cards. On a Reverse Teaser card, players may parlay from 3 to 8 selections and receive payoffs ranging from 20 for 1 to 5,000 for 1. All point spreads use half points, eliminating the possibility of a tie.

$100,000 Parlay card (Pro Only)
Players wager $5 and select 15 games against the point spread. If a player correctly picks 15 out of 15 games, (s)he wins $100,000. If there is more than 1 winning ticket, the $100,000 prize is divided equally among the winning tickets. The $100,000 Parlay card will have a few select Totals (Over/Under) Wagers upon occasion.

Football Futures
No card required. This wager is offered for the entire current season. To place a bet, the player simply selects a team. The odds fluctuate during the season, but are locked in at the time the wager is placed.

Totals (Over/Under) Wager (Pro Only)
The Total is the combined amount of points scored by both teams during the game, including overtime. A player may wager over or under the total. In an Over wager, the player wagers that the total combined points scored by the two teams will be more than the total. In an Under wager, the player bets that the total points scored by the two teams will be less than the total. There will be no totals during the preseason.

The Half-Point, Teaser and Super Teaser parlay cards will carry all totals. The $100,000 Parlay card will have select totals on occasion. There is no Totals-Only card.

Note: The Delaware Lottery reserves the right to refuse any wager/multiple cards or delete or limit any selection(s) prior to the acceptance of any wager.

Off-the-Board Wagers**

(Lines change frequently throughout the day, so make sure you check your tickets)

Off-the-Board Parlays
In Off-the-Board Parlays, the point spreads may fluctuate from the opening line. Players can parlay from 3 to 8 selections and receive payoffs ranging from 6 to 1 to 160 to a. There is a $5 minimum bet on Off-the-Board Parlays.

Off-the-Board Teasers
The players can select 6-, 6 1⁄2-, 7-, 10- and 14-point Teasers. A Teaser allows the player to add extra points to an underdog’s point spread or subtract points on a favored team.

Halftime Wagers
A halftime wager, for betting purposes, resets the score of a game at 0-0 at halftime of a game. For example, if the Green Bay Packers lead the San Francisco 49ers at halftime by a score of 14-10 and you wager on the Packers -3 1⁄2 points in the second half, the Packers must win the game by eight points or more to cover the spread. Halftime wagers also include any overtime periods that are played.
