Normally a three-team parlay pays 6 TO 1. Meaning, you would normally WIN $300 and thus get $350 back.
However, your local bookie is obviously taking advantage of you, by only offering, at best 5 to 1. If he is offering 5 FOR 1, you can probably shoot him and no judge or jury would ever convict you.
You really should have determined this BEFORE your placed bet. Even if you're getting 5 TO 1, which is better than 5 for 1, that's still a terrible bet, above and beyond what is already a poor bet. Proper odds on a 3-team parlay would be 7 to 1.
Does it say 5 TO 1 or 5 FOR 1?

I know all about the odds i played the parlay because his lines are off so it makes up for the 2-1 (at least i thought) but i wasnt sure of when i put the 50$ up whether id get it back. he just texted me back and said i only get 250$ which i think is terrible.

his card says 5-1 that means 5 to 1. 5 plus your 1. he should reword the odds so they mean what they payout. hes giving you 5 for 1. bascically a 50 pct house edge. true odds are one out of 8 will hit. 7 to 1. hes giving you 4 to 1, do you see where you really stand.

I have never seen anyone get there wager money back on a card. Football cards are not like a sports book wager they are a pool think of it this way, I u buy a hundred dollar Superbowl sq and win 2,500 per quarter would u get ur hundred back then? No u wouldn't football cards are pool cards usually says it on back
