The History of Parlay Cards: From Paper Slips to Online Sportsbooks

Parlay Dan

A Look Back at the Origins of Parlay Cards Parlay cards are a familiar part of sports betting today, but their story starts long before the world of mobile apps and online sportsbooks. Back in the day, they weren’t digital at all — they were printed slips of paper you’d find in corner bars, convenience stores, or passed around by bookies in the neighborhood. For a lot of fans, these little paper cards weren’t just […]

Action 247, Heat, Nuggets Dan

Last night, we built our same-game parlay around game three of the Stanley Cup Finals, simply hoping the Florida Panthers would bounce back and make the Stanley Cup Finals competitive. The Panthers gave us all hope for the rest of the Stanley Cup Finals with a gutsy, come-from-behind 3-2 overtime win, with Matthew Tkachuk scoring the game-tying goal in the third and Carter Verhaeghe scoring the overtime winner. Kids, we might have a Stanley Cup […]

Before we dive into game three of the Stanley Cup Finals (spoilers?!?), we need to look back at our busted parlay and latest failure to retain our Parlay Blog Championship after reclaiming the belt the night before. Last night, we successfully predicted the Denver Nuggets would win game three of the NBA Finals on the road, which they did with a 109-94 victory on the backs of triple-doubles by Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray. However, […]

With no NHL or NBA on the sports calendar last night, we kept our Florida focus intact, building our same-game parlay around the Tampa Bay Rays and the Minnesota Twins. In the first leg, we selected the Rays to get the series-opening win over the Twins, giving the slight pitching edge to Zach Eflin and Tampa Bay. The Rays won 7-0. After one leg, our hopes and dreams of recapturing our Parlay Blog Championship belt […]

Rays, Twins Dan

Last night, we built our multi-game parlay around two South Florida teams, with two legs dedicated to game two of the Stanley Cup Finals. Unfortunately, much like what the Stanley Cup Finals is turning into, it wasn’t a close affair. We took the Florida Panthers to win and even the series. They definitely didn’t, losing 7-2 to the Vegas Golden Knights. The Golden Knights now have a 2-0 Stanley Cup Finals series lead over the […]

Again, we had a rough night last night, but we couldn’t be happier because it means we’re getting at least five games in the NBA Finals. We predicted the Denver Nuggets would remain undefeated on home floor, winning as -370 favorites and taking a 2-0 series lead in the NBA Finals. Despite a pedestrian offensive night from Jimmy Butler, the Miami Heat defeated the Denver Nuggets 111-108, ending our hopes of a winning parlay to […]

Our Florida Panthers hype train was derailed in Las Vegas last night. Maybe ten years between the Eastern Conference Finals finishing and Stanley Cup Finals starting had a negative effect on the Panthers. Or maybe, the Vegas Golden Knights are that good. VGK did finish fifth in the league in the regular season. Clearly, you’ve guessed by now that we had a clean sweep loss on yesterday’s same-game parlay. We had our hopes high as […]
