What Is a Parlay Card and How Do Parlay Bets Work? A parlay bet is a single bet on multiple outcomes. It’s basically a combination of bets, and the parlay only wins if all the outcomes win. The Delaware Lottery offers 5 different types of football parlay cards: 1/2 point, teaser, super teaser, reverse teaser, and a $100,000 parlay card. There are NFL parlay cards, college parlay cards, and cards.
For the last decade, the Delaware Lottery has offered parlay cards that allow those 21 years and older located in Delaware to bet on NFL and college football games.
These parlay cards are offered at over 100 stores and bars throughout the state, as well as the 3 major sportsbooks in Delaware. Winners can claim winnings at any of these locations or can send the tickets in by mail.
This guide will go over how the parlay cards work, where you can find them, and will show the current’s weeks cards during the football season.
Types of Delaware Parlay Cards Offered & Odds on Each
The Delaware Lottery offers 5 different types of football parlay cards: 1/2 point, teaser, super teaser, reverse teaser, and a $100,000 parlay card.
There are NFL parlay cards, college parlay cards, and cards with both. For the cards with NFL and college games, both can be included in the same parlay.
Note that each card has a $2 minimum bet and you must make at least three selections. You usually can’t include two options from the same game in the same parlay (such as the Eagles covering the spread plus the over in the same game).
These cards include “traditional” lines including point spreads (favorite/underdog) and totals (Over/Under) that are not adjusted at all as they are in teasers.
An example
Say the Eagles are 6.5 point favorites (-6.5) against the Cowboys (+6.5) and the total score may be set at 48.5 points.
- If you choose the Eagles, they must win by 7 points to cover.
- If you choose the Cowboys, they must win or lose by less than 7 to cover.
- If you choose the Over, the total combined score of both teams must be at least 49.
- If you choose the Under, the total combined score must be 48 or less.
The odds on these cards (and all DE Lottery parlay cards), don’t change based on which game you choose. The odds are the same for the entire season.
Here were the odds for the 2019-20 school year:
- 3 choices: 6.5 to 1 ($10 wins $65)
- 4 choices: 11 to 1
- 5 choices: 20 to 1
- 6 choices: 40 to 1
- 7 choices: 75 to 1
- 8 choices: 150 to 1
- 9 choices: 375 to 1
- 10 choices: 800 to 1
- 11 choices: 1400 to 1
- 12 choices: 2500 to 1

NOTE: The Delaware Lottery teaser card is closed until the beginning of the 2021 football season.
Teasers still allow you to bet point spread and game totals for football games, but the lines are adjusted by 5 to 7 points in your favor. The trade-off for more favorable odds is that you get worse odds.
The same example as above with a 6 point tease
Instead of the Eagles being 6.5 point favorites against the Cowboys, they will now be 0.5 point favorites (Eagles -0.5) and the Cowboys will be 12.5 point underdogs (Cowboys +12.5). Instead of the total being 48.5, the new Over will be 42.5 and the new Under will be 54.5.
- If you choose the Eagles, they must win to cover (since you can only win by 1 point).
- If you choose the Cowboys, they must win or lose by less than 13 to cover.
- If you choose the Over, the total combined score of both teams must be 43 or more.
- If you choose the Under, the total combined score must be 54 or less.
Here were the odds for the 2019-20 school year:
- 3 choices: 12 to 5 ($5 wins $12)
- 4 choices: 7 to 2
- 5 choices: 9 to 2
- 6 choices: 7 to 1
- 7 choices: 10 to 1
- 8 choices: 15 to 1
- 9 choices: 22 to 1
- 10 choices: 30 to 1
- 11 choices: 45 to 1
- 12 choices: 65 to 1
- 13 choices: 100 to 1
- 14 choices: 150 to 1
- 15 choices: 200 to 1
- 16 choices: 275 to 1
- 17 choices: 375 to 1
- 18 choices: 500 to 1
- 19 choices: 750 to 1
- 20 choices: 1000 to 1
NOTE: The Delaware Lottery super teaser card is closed until the beginning of the 2021 football season.
Super teasers are just like teasers except the odds are shifted even more in your favor; typically between 10 and 14 points. The trade-off for even more favorable odds is that you get even worse odds as compared to normal teasers.
The same example as above with a 13 point tease
Instead of the Eagles being 6.5 point favorites against the Cowboys, they will now be 6.5 point underdogs (Eagles +6.5) and the Cowboys will be 19.5 point underdogs (Cowboys +19.5). Instead of the total being 48.5, the new Over will be 35.5 and the new Under will be 61.5.
- If you choose the Eagles, they must win or lose by less than 7.
- If you choose the Cowboys, they must win or lose by less than 20 to cover.
- If you choose the Over, the total combined score of both teams must be 36 or more.
- If you choose the Under, the total combined score must be 61 or less.
Here were the odds for the 2019-20 school year:
- 4 choices: 11 to 5
- 5 choices: 13 to 5
- 6 choices: 3 to 1
- 7 choices: 4 to 1
- 8 choices: 11 to 2
- 9 choices: 7 to 1
- 10 choices: 9 to 1
- 11 choices: 11 to 1
- 12 choices: 14 to 1
- 13 choices: 18 to 1
- 14 choices: 23 to 1
- 15 choices: 30 to 1
- 16 choices: 37 to 1
- 17 choices: 45 to 1
- 18 choices: 55 to 1
- 19 choices: 65 to 1
- 20 choices: 80 to 1
Reverse teasers are just like they sound like: the opposite of teasers. Instead of the odds being shifted in your favor, they are shifted against your favor by around 5 to 7 points in exchange for better odds.
The same example as above with a 6 point reverse tease
Instead of the Eagles being 6.5 point favorites against the Cowboys, they will now be 12.5 point favorites (Eagles +12.5) and the Cowboys will be 0.5 point underdogs (Cowboys +0.5). Instead of the total being 48.5, the new Over will be 54.5 and the new Under will be 42.5.
- If you choose the Eagles, they must win by at least 13.
- If you choose the Cowboys, they must tie or win (since the odds are +0.5).
- If you choose the Over, the total combined score of both teams must be 55 or more.
- If you choose the Under, the total combined score must be 42 or less.
Here were the odds for the 2019-20 school year:
- 3 choices: 20 to 1 ($10 wins $200)
- 5 choices: 60 to 1
- 6 choices: 600 to 1
- 7 choices: 1800 to 1
- 8 choices: 5000 to 1
NOTE: The Delaware Lottery super teaser card is closed until the beginning of the 2021 football season.
With this card, you wager $5 and select 15 NFL games against the spread. If you are correct on all 15, you win $100,000. If more than one person wins in a given week, the $100,000 will be split equally amongst the winners.
At times, select totals (Over/Under) will be included, but typically this card is limited to choosing a team with the spread (ex: Eagles -6.5).

You can find the football parlay cards at over 100 stores and bars throughout Delaware. See the full list here. They are also provided by the 3 major sportsbooks: Delaware Park, Dover Downs, and Harrington Raceway & Casino.

If you win $600 or less, you can cash in your winning ticket at any of the locations offering parlay cards. If you win over $600, you must go to one of the 3 sportsbooks listed above or mail the ticket to:
Delaware State Lottery

Dover, DE 19904
Since the Delaware parlay cards come out towards the beginning of each week, you can find some value by waiting to fill out a card until before kickoff on Saturday (if betting college football) or Sunday (if only betting NFL).
How?
Lines at typical sportsbooks change throughout the week depending on which side gets more money bet on it, injuries, weather, and other things.
The lines on Delaware parlay cards, however, don’t change once they come out.
So my general strategy is to check the current lines on sportsbooks like FanDuel and DraftKings on Sunday morning and compare them to the parlay cards. I take note of the biggest differences (because there is “value” there) and use this information to help me decide which games to pick in my parlay cards.
For example, if the Eagles are -3 on the parlay card but the line is at -5 at the major sportsbooks on Sunday, there is 2 points of value there.
This doesn’t mean that I just blindly choose the biggest values according to the differences, however. I won’t play a game because the line moved a lot if I don’t like it. I’ll use the values I find in conjunction with my other research to choose my games. Note that I typically only play the NFL parlay cards since I know the NFL better than college.
Since I’m doing this research each week, I decided to create a newsletter called the Sunday Spread Report to help other Delaware sports bettors. It’s completely free and you can sign up via the form below:

Every Sunday morning I compare the current NFL lines to the parlay card lines to see where the most value lies. Enter your email below to get it delivered straight to your inbox.
A parlay is a single sports wager that involves two or more bets combined into one. This can include point spreads, moneylines, totals, futures, or even prop bets, as long as the bets are on different games.
The allure of these bets has always been a larger payout than choosing a single team to win. But there’s more gamble to these types of wagers because every “leg” of the parlay needs to not lose in order to win. If one leg loses, the whole parlay loses.
The flexibility of a parlay bet also makes it attractive to gamblers. You can combine multiple sports into your parlay bet; for example, you can include the Cowboys from the NFL, the Celtics from the NBA and the Coyotes from the NHL into a single bet. If they all win, you win.

Football Betting Cards Parlay
Placing a parlay bet
There are two ways to place a parlay bet and both are quite simple. Bettors can either tell the ticket writer directly which teams and totals they’d like to bet on and how much they’d like to risk on the bet. Filling out a parlay card is the other option for placing this kind of bet. Once the card is filled in, the bettor simply needs to visit the sportsbook desk to place the bet.
Some mobile sports wagering apps offer both types of parlay bets.

Winning a parlay
There are two instances when a parlay can be a winning bet. A parlay only wins if none of the sides, totals or moneylines selected is a loser. The parlay can still be a winner if a game is canceled or ends in a tie. The pay schedule will simply more down to the lesser payment. For example, the bettor will win if a baseball parlay for four teams has three winners and one game is canceled because of rain. The bet will only pay based on the schedule for three winners instead of four as originally planned. The bet is a loser if one pick for a parlay is wrong.
Parlay odds
Not all parlay payouts are the same. Sportsbooks may have different odds for the number of teams bet in a parlay. This can be very confusing when looking at online sports that have different odds and payouts for the same parlay. Further, these odds may change at any time so bettors should check with the ticket writer in sportsbook before placing a parlay.
Parlay payouts
Payouts for a parlay are fixed by the time the bet is placed. Even if the lines and odds for an individual game move, the parlay lines and odds won’t change from when the parlay bet was placed. The parlay bet won’t be changed whether the lines change for or against the bettor.
If the lines change for a game, or games, in the favor of the bettor another parlay may be bet with the new line. The original bet cannot be changed and the bet will stand. The good news is that the bettor has two live parlay bets.
Types of parlays
A parlay is a type of sports bet and there are different variations of this kind of wager. The most common types of parlays are Round Robin parlays and Teasers.
Round Robin
A Round Robin bet is placing multiple parlay wagers at once. It’s just that simple. Round Robin bets are just a way to simplify making multiple parlays. When a bettor “Round Robin’s” teams in sports betting it’s similar to a horse bettor “boxing” horses for an exacta or trifecta bet in a race.
The bettor will select anywhere from 3 to 8 teams or totals to be in the Round Robin. They will then choose how many teams or totals they’d like to tie together for the Round Robin. For example, a bettor may select eight teams and totals for a Round Robin and tie the parlays to as many three-team combinations as possible.
Football Parlay Cards Print
The combination of teams will dictate how many different parlays the bettor has. Continuing the example, if a bettor wants to Round Robin eight teams they will have 28 different parlays if they choose two teams. If the bettor chooses to make three-team parlays they will have 56 different parlay tickets.
The ticket will cost the amount chosen for each parlay. If the bettor only has $300 they might choose to Round Robin the teams by two, so they have 28 different parlays for $10 each. The payout for each winning parlay is the same as it would be if the parlay bets were each made individually.
Football Parlay Cards Payouts
Teaser
A teaser is similar to a traditional parlay where the bettor can select multiple teams or totals. However, there are no moneylines allowed with a teaser. Unlike a parlay, the bettor may move each point spread or total plus or minus a certain number of points. The additional points on the spread or total make these bets easier to win and thus they pay less than a traditional parlay.
Teaser bets can change the point spreads or totals anywhere from six to 10 points. However, each leg of the teaser must use the same number of points. Those legs of the teaser may go in different directions.
- For example, the New England Patriots -7 can be teased down six points to -1. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns can be teased up six points from +4 to +10 points.

Much like a traditional parlay, the more teams involved with a teaser the better the payoff. Again, different sportsbooks have different odds and rules so they might have different payouts and teaser options available to bet.
Parlay Cards
The more popular way to bet parlays in casinos today seems to be with a Parlay Card. These are the long narrow cards where bettors fill in the numbered circle of the side or point spread they want to include in their bet. Once the teams and totals are chosen the bettor simply presents the filled in portion on the card to the ticket writer in the sportsbook along with how much they’d like to wager.
Parlay Cards are especially popular during football season. There are many different types of Parlay Cards including a variety of teasers, ties win and reverse teaser cards known as pleasers. These are more popular every year so the mobile sports wagering apps have started to add Parlay Cards for mobile bettors.
