Parlay bets me and some buddies did in the sports books at Tahoe a long time ago during the NFL seasons. You make one bet but link say three of four plays together. Let's say I bet that the 49'ers the Raiders and the Jets will all win their games on Sunday. If they all win I make a fair chunk of change because the odds are high that someone is able to call 3 out of 3 or 4 out of 4 etc. If one team loses your bet is a loser. We used to play 3 out of 3 teams and stuff like that but also would bet on calling winners on 8 games or 10 out of 10 games, etc. The payoffs were real big if someone was to call that many in a row on one card. We never did hit one of those but came close. That's why all those lights are on in the casinos...they don't worry about the electric bills in Las Vegas and Tahoe.
