But you like the Giants to win outright, so you select the moneyline since it pays out $24.

You can submit the bet slip at this point. The details will then be available in the My Bets section. You can also add multiple bets to a single bet slip. Multiple single bets can be added. You also have the option to add multiple bets as a parlay or as a teaser. Once your slip is completed, tap to submit it.
