Nearly a decade later, even as he edited the draft of the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation in August of 1862, Lincoln hosted a delegation of freed slaves at the White House in the hopes of getting their support on a plan for colonization in Central America.
A 3-team parlay usually pays 6 to 1. If you made a $100 parlay and all three teams covered the spread, you would win $600. All of them need to cover the spread for you to win. If San Diego lost by exactly 6 (push/tie) and you won the other two games, the 3-team parlay would just be knocked down to a 2-teamer.
The smaller teams generally pay 50 percent of their winnings to the driver. The elite teams use a formula of salary and commission. Some of the higher-profile drivers make about $185,000 a week. The rest of the race team is next, with an average weekly payroll of $83,500. That takes care of the mechanics, pit crew, public relations team, truck driver and engineers. Keeping a 200-mph race car at full speed costs about $50,000 a week for parts and pieces.
