Parlay cards are a rip off. Lines are always skewed. If the guy just parlays the same games "off the board" to the clerk he probably get NE - 6 and wins or worst case pushes and still wins the other leg.

There was plenty of Baltimore +7.5 on the cards this week. If anyone still had enough still alive they could have bought off at -6.5 and won everything. Just because this guy didn't doesn't mean there rip off. If anything, they're the most value at the sportsbooks. There isn't any other bet William Hill sweats more than their half-point parlay cards.

William Hill has brought this already shit town to new lows.

William Hill offers the best odds on these cards in the valley: 13 to 1 on four teams, 100 to 1 on seven, and 825-1 on tens. What other place is equal, let alone better than that in Las Vegas? These are the payouts for half-point cards, so you're always getting at least a half-point better than off the board. Sometimes even more than that. Someones moving off the 3 or 7. Sometimes moving through the 3 or 7 like this week with the Chiefs -2.5 and Ravens +7.5.

If BALT +7.5 had been on Our Card RXNFL Contest my life would be wonderful right now instead of the absolutely fucked up trainwreck disaster mess of complete desperation near hopelessness and despair that it is.

Yeah all that sounds basically familiar to what the old Leroy's cards used to be. I don't doubt the WillHill card odds are better tho, by a bit, than Leroy's was.

I've been racking my brain to recall what my payout would have been on that 11 Team Card, IIRC I'd only played it for a dollar or a dollar and 50 cents (if that was possible, allowed) and I stood to win not much over a Grand ($1000).

Feels like the payout was around $1100, maybe upper 900 dollar-ish tho. Its been, like, 23 years 1993 I believe....

All I recall clearly is that My Homebase was Golden Nugget, Harrahs was a distance away but walkable and I was Drunk, naturally, having had so many games come in as needed then at Halftime of the last game I needed which was In Hand, covering easily obvious I was gonna Cash somewhere around a Grand off of a Dollar or so bet I carried my drunk ass over to Harrahs, no easy feat when you're drunk or even not drunk cuz there were no sidewalks that part of Laughlin

For a long time there was not even a major Grocery Store in Laughlin NV. Least not in the Casino District. Just The AM/PM and The Italian Delicatessen.

I eventually made it to Harrah's to watch that final game fall to pieces and lose.

Its important to understand also that there were Hills, between Golden Nugget and Harrah's. This was not flat ground.

The Whole Casino District was a not that long stretch of street then there was Harrah's. A long ass ways away. Nothing in between. Except Hills.

No sidewalk so the only walking space was a tiny sliver between the road and the hills and the cars were very close.
