We could have as many as four wins by Philadelphia Pro Sports teams in the next eight hours or so, which we think would make it the first such day since May 3, 1953, when the Phillies and Athletics swept separate doubleheaders against their Chicago opponents (Cubs and White Sox).
This comes on the heels of the day when the Phillies managed to have two different games postponed against two different teams (Marlins and Yankees).
Hard to do.
Anyway, let’s lay a fin ($5) on a four-team parlay of three wins and a Sixers cover (-10.5). And remember, the Union must win in regular time to cash the bet.
We shopped around and William Hill had the best odds for our Parlay:
+105 . . . Phillies Game 1
+100 . . . Phillies Game 2
-100 . . . Sixers -10.5
+180 . . . Union (Regulation)
That works out to +2092 ($5 to win $104.60).
