    Payout odds question. Can someone help me count my pennies?
    I had this parlay (sucker bet, i know)

    St. Louis Cardinals -123
    SF/STL U7 -105
    NYYankees-114

    For my sake, since I'm learning about how to add up odds and what not, let's say I bet $1

    so my odds were + 565

    As we all know the Yankees game got delayed. Well, I thought since the game was delayed, the Parlay would be "NO ACTION"

    I was suprised when they ended up paying me: + 255

    But how did that get those odds? My friend said it should have been 1/3 more

    When I talked to the book customer service didn't even know what leg was pushed. he insisted the math was right.

    Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks. trying to see how these odds work so next time I have no doubt as to how much I should get paid.

    I'm new at all of this, I know, take it easy.

        +255 is correct.

        When a leg pushes you just take that leg out. The whole parlay doesn't become no action.
