Just won this 5-team parley

Moneyline:

New England Patriots
Minnesota Vikings

Points Spread:

New York Giants +3
San Diego Chargers -1.5
Cleveland Browns -3.5

I bet $10 and payout was just under $100

I should of bet on the Vikings and the Patriots to beat the points spread since both teams did beat it. However i'm still satisfied with the win, this is my biggest NFL team parley I have won.

I don't know where you are placing your bets, but a 5 team parlay should pay around 25 to 1. You got payed 10 to 1. the true odds on a 5 team parlay is 31 to 1. The house edge is almost 19%, that's why , percentage wise, a 5 teamer is such a bad bet.

I bet on the Vikings and Patriots to win straight up, that is why the odds are not what you say.

Yeah I wouldn't get used to winning many of those, especially in the NFL.
Does that count as a parlay if you mix your bets like that or is it considered a combination bet?

I wonder what the odds were on that amazing patriot vs giants game. I didn't even think of that until now, must have been insane!

they had to be big odds in favor of the patsies. Thatas definately the biggest upset in superbowl history and i bet a few people made some good money if they took a straight win bet for the giants.
