Bettors Find Loophole in Delaware Sports Betting Rules
Who says you can't make a single-game NFL bet in Delaware?
You actually can.
And many are.
Technically, you can't walk up to the windows of Delaware's three racetracks that offer NFL betting and bet on a lone NFL game.
You can't even bet a two-game parlay.
Under state law, the minimum number of NFL games you must bet at once is three.
In other words, you must bet a three-game parlay, and you have to win all three games in the parlay to win money.
