Here is some useful information on the basic bet types:
Straight Bets
The team wagered on must win by the point spread
given at the time of the wager. For straight wagers,
unless otherwise indicated, the odds are -110. Games
that tie are considered "no action" and money is
re-deposited back into your account. Due to changing
events, the point spread may fluctuate at any time.
Example: Player wagers $110.00 on Miami -7 to beat
Buffalo +7
If Miami wins by more than 7 points the player wins
$100.00. The total payout including the initial
wager would be $210.00. If Miami only wins by 7
points then the game is considered "no action" and
all money is returned to the bettor. If the Miami
wins by less than 7 points the wagers is lost.
Totals
The combined score of both teams for games wagered
on, all totals lay $1.10 to win $1.00 unless it is
otherwise indicated.
Example: The player lays $220.00 on the OVER in the
Miami/Buffalo game. The total for the game is 45. If
both teams' combined score is more than 45 than the
player would win $200.00. If the combined score is
equal 45 the game is considered "no action" and the
money is returned. If the combined score is less
than 45 then the wager is lost.
Money Line Bets
The team wagered on just has to win the game.
The amount you lay or take for each game may vary.
The money line that is read to at the time of your
wager is the money line you keep regardless of any
line movement.
Example: The player wagers on Miami -160 at Buffalo
+260. If Miami wins then the player would lay
$160.00 to win $100.00. If the player bet on Buffalo
then the player would lay $100.00 to win $260.00.
Halftime
The wager is placed on the odds posted for the first
or second half of a game only. All wagers must go
the full half for action. All halftime wagers are
calculated the same as a straight wager unless
otherwise indicated. There are no teaser plays or
buying of points on halftimes.
Parlays
This is a selection of 2 or more teams (up to 10
teams) or propositions in no particular order. All
teams wagered on in a parlay must win. If there is a
tie, it reverts down to the next lowest number for
payoff.
Example: Player wants to make a 5 team parlay:
Miami -7 New York +3 Seattle -4 Denver -10 San
Francisco -8
If all these games win then the player would have
won at 20-1 odds. If only 1 team loses then the
entire parlay loses. More information about
Parlays.
Teasers
This is a selection of two or more teams in one
wager in which the point spread is adjusted in your
favor. The number of teams selected and the number
of points selected determines the payout odds. More
information about teasers.
Futures and Propositions
Future wagers are based on the outcome of events.
All wagers are final. There will be no payouts until
the conclusion of the specified event. Odds change
daily and all wagers are considered action at the
odds quoted at the time of the wager.
