Bettor loses 15-game, $100K parlay as Patriots fail to cover -- by 1
By Darren Rovell

A man who bet $5 on a 15-leg parlay card at a William Hill sports book in Nevada needed the New England Patriots to win by more than seven points to win $100,000 on Monday.
Because the Patriots beat the Baltimore Ravens by exactly seven, 30-23, the result of the 15th game of the parlay, after the previous 14 had come through, was a push.
William Hill spokesman Michael Grodsky confirmed to ESPN that it was an all-or-nothing parlay card. As such, the push didn't reduce it to winning a 14-leg parlay; it made the entire card worthless.

Reported 29.6% hold in Nevada in 2015.
Ties Win Parlay cards= Majority of the solid #s on dead #s i.e 9s,12s, etc
Ties Lose Parlay cards= Most #s skewed to solid key #s i.e 3s,7s, etc
Not to mention the gouge on payoffs. And you guys think that legalization will be better? Not when you have a third party scalping you also.
Where can you find hold percentages for past seasons? Curious...
That was what was reported by David Purdum.
