    Last week of regular season I will be in Vegas. My first trip there. And I never bet on NFL games before. My questions

    1) Can I bet multiple games on a single bet? Like pick 5 games and bet results of all and make a combo?

    2) Assume I can make a combo, can I add a factor saying I will bet on these 5 games but I want chance of being wrong on one games by paying extra on the initial bet?

    I gotta qualify "no".
    Parley minus 1 is not a standard practice that I know of, but there is a possibility some casino might offer it. Ultimately you'll need to ask pit boss about it.

    One online betting site has an almost parlay, where if you fall one short, they do pay, but less.

    What you want is a round robin, where you can bet combinations.

    Like to take 3 picks and every way them, meaning to do all the two teams combos and the three team combo. You'd have to ask them about round robins.

    I find parlays are fun, but almost always just drain you out of your dollar quickly. You'll take 4 games where you are sure to the grave that there is no way ever a certain team would upset the other, only to have just 1 of the games go that way after all. I think taking moneylines you're comfortable with are best, or spreads if they are under 10 points.

    Patriots and Broncos are both good teams. The giants are winners of 4 in a row against bottom feeders and third string QBs. Cowboys are atleast an average team and the Giants haven't played legitimate competition since they were 0-6.

    Totally agree. The Dallas, and NYG game was the hardest game to pick this week for me.

    No I wouldn't say that. The Giants may have not had the hardest competition, but they're at least on a roll, and do you think Dallas could have had this comeback the Giants are having? It's a divisional game, which evens the odds no matter what, and it's a home game for New York. I'm nervously going with the G men this week.

    hell no. None of the NFC East teams deserve to make the playoffs. They're all mediocre or worse.

    Again, I think GOW should be based on hardest game to decide from, hence the extra point for being correct, not the most entertaining game of the week. My .02

    but that's not what the GOW is

    Even if it was, there are several games tougher to pick than Dallas/Giants

    I don't know what Ru is basing it on that Dallas/Giants should be the GOW.
