Wagering Guide

Straight Wagers
The team wagered on must win by the point spread given at the time of the wager. The odds are $1.10 to win $1.00 (-110) unless otherwise indicated. 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 New Orleans +7. If Miami wins by more than 7 points the player wins $100.00 so 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 (-110) unless it is otherwise indicated.
Example:
The player lays $330.00 on the OVER in the Miami/Buffalo game. The total for the game is 37. If both teams' combined score is more than 37 than the player would win $300.00. If the combined score is equal 37 the game is considered "no action”. and the money is returned. If the combined score is less than 37 then the wager is lost.
Halftime
All wagers must go the full half for action (first half and second half). 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. On half time wagers, overtime periods are included as part of the 2nd half.
Teasers
A Teaser 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. A "Tie" or "No Action" and a "Win" on a two team teaser shall constitute a "No Action" wager. A "Tie" or a "No Action" and a "Loss" on a two team teaser shall constitute a” Losing" wager. Ties on a three or more team teaser shall revert to the next lowest betting bracket. (Example: A tie on a three team becomes a two team teaser.)
An example of a teaser wagers is as follows. For our example, let us say you wish to choose three football teams: Miami -7, New York -3 and Dallas +15. The payout of the wager is dependant upon how many points you wish to receive. Let us choose a 3 team 7 point teaser. If we look at the chart below, this wager is listed as 12/10, which means we will win $12 for every $10 that we wager. The point spreads are adjusted as follows Miami -7 plus the adjusted seven points = Even New York -3 plus the adjusted seven points = +4 Dallas +15 plus the adjusted seven points = +22 Therefore, if each and every one of the three teams wins against the adjusted spread, you win $12 for every $10 you wager.
Parlays
This is a bet of 2 or more teams (selections) or propositions in no particular order. All teams wagered on in a parlay must win. If there is a tie, it reduces down to the next lowest number for payoff. In the case of a 3-team parlay, it will reduces down to a 2 team parlay etc.. Parlays that include money lines or are paid out based on the odds of each individual selection. The payout table shown below is only valid if all selections within the parlay are based on the standard line of -110 ($1.10 to win $1.00) used for point spreads and totals. Baseball chart or calculator
Example:
Player wants to make a 4 team parlay:
Miami +8 Buffalo -4 Denver -7
San Francisco -6
If all these games win then the player would have won at 10-1 odds. If only 1 team loses then the entire parlay loses.
Futures and Propositions
Future wagers are based on the outcome of events that happen each year. All wagers are final. There will be no payouts until the conclusion of the specified season. Proposition plays are wagers based on the outcome of events. Odds change daily and all wagers are considered action for the odds quoted at the time of the wager. In the event that the selection (person, team, or other) a customer bets upon does not participate in the game/event due to injury, etc., there will be no refunds.
Money Line Wagers
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 New Orleans +260. If Miami wins then the player who laid $160.00 wins $100.00. If the player bet on New Orleans then the player who laid $100.00 wins $260.00
Buy Points
Points can be bought in football for the complete game only. They can be bought for point spreads and totals. For every half point bought the charge will be 10 cents, except for NFL sides when buying on or off the number 3 AND 7 in which case THE PLAYER must LAY 125/1.
Points you lay
1/2pts 12/10
1 pt 13/10
1 ½ pts 14/10
If Bets
All if bet wagers must be placed on the same call. You bet on an initial team or total, if that wager wins then the second wager that you choose will automatically be placed. If your initial bet loses, then the second wager is not placed. The status of the linked bets has nothing to do with the games starting times or what order they are played in, it is strictly a logical relationship. Even if the first game in your if bet is played hours after the second one, the status of the second bet must wait for the first games results. The amount of the total wager is collected at the time you place the entire bet sequence. All individual wagers that compromise the if bet must be for the same amount or lower on the second game; you cannot lay a higher amount on the second wager than on the first wager. If bets can contain up to 3 individual plays, and if at any time an individual wager loses, then the remaining wagers will not be placed. Players have two options
when choosing the conditions of the if bet, "If win only" and "If win tie or cancel"
Example:
Dolphin-3 $110 to win $100
If win or push (must state push)
Eagles -1 $110 to win $100
Outcome:
Risking $110 to win $200
Action Points
An action points (AP) wager is a bet where the winnings or losses are determined by how many points a team does or does not cover the point spread. Action point wagers are available for most football and basketball events. The player must choose the amount to be risked on each point in the event, and the maximum number of points they wish to have counts toward their winnings/losses (called a "point cap").
| Action Points Examples: |
Line:
Dallas is (-3) over Washington
Final Score: Dallas 27 Washington 20
Dallas covered the point spread by 4 points.
An action points wager on Dallas for $100 a point would win $400. (4 points X $100 = $400)
An action points wager on Washington for $100 a point would lose $440. (4 points X $110 = $440)
Line:
Pittsburgh is (-8) over Cleveland
Final Score: Cleveland 17 Pittsburgh 14
Cleveland covered the point spread by 11 points.
An action points wager on Cleveland for $50 a point would win $550. (11 points X $50 = $550)
An action points wager on Pittsburgh for $50 a point would lose $605. (11 points X $55 = $605) |
All odds on action points are -110 each point on side wagers and -120 each point on total wagers unless otherwise specified.
Action points may not be played on first half or half-time lines.
On lines with a ½ point in them, each ½ point counts for one-half the amount wagered per point. A ½ point in a $100 per point wager would be worth $50.
The minimum "point cap" is 5 points. The maximum "point cap" is 20 points.
The total amount that can possibly be lost will be deducted from the customer's account at the time of the wager. This amount is calculated by multiplying ("amount risked per point" X "point cap"). An action points play of $22 to win 20 with a cap of 10 points would have $220 deducted from a customer's account balance ($22 X 10 = $220).
Round Robins
A Round Robin is a convenient way to enter multiple parlays at one time. They allow you to select between three and eight picks, choose to parlay or tease the bets, and combine them in parlays of two to six teams.
Example:
If you are confident in the New England Patriots -8, Buffalo Bills +4 and Minnesota Vikings -10, but you do not want to parlay them in a three-team parlay, you can choose to parlay them in three separate two-team parlays.
1st parlay:
New England Patriots -8
Buffalo Bills +4
Risk $5 to win $13
2nd parlay:
New England Patriots -8
Minnesota Vikings -10
Risk $5 to win $13
3rd parlay:
Buffalo Bills +4
Minnesota Vikings -10
Risk $5 to win $13
Your total risk amount for the three team, two way parlay is $15.00 (Max Risk) to win $39. (Max Win)
Round Robin Betting Rules:
- Standard parlays rules apply.
- The minimum number of teams in a Round-Robin is 3, the maximum is 8.
- The minimum number of parlay combinations is 2 and the maximum is 6.
- You cannot place same-game parlays in Round-Robins.

Sports Prop Betting
A prop or proposition bet is a wager with 2 or more outcomes that are not directly related to the final score of an event. One notable characteristic of props is that they are rarely allowed to be placed in any type of combo bet. Bets such as these are also called exotics. Most featured props are usually single bets only
For example, a bet on how many yards Peyton Manning will throw in his next game: less than 100; 101-150; 151-200; 201-250; 251-300 or 300+. There will be posted odds for each outcome.
A common entry in Prop Bets is a Field entry. This is a catch-all category for any competitor not specifically listed in the prop, but is competing in the event.
For example, a prop on a PGA event might list odds for the best 30 players: Tiger Woods 1/1, David Duval 5/1, etc. As PGA events often have 75 or more competitors, the other 45+ players that do not have odds posted individually would be listed indirectly as part of the Field. If any of the players in the Field win, the Field would be declared the winner for wagering purposes.
Payouts
Payouts for a proposition bet will depend on the odds given by the house for each bet you have placed. The type of wager, whether the bet is a money line, multiplier, or basic odds, will dictate your payout accordingly.
To calculate a payout, simply translate the odds (a money line such as -110, -180, +140 etc., or fixed odds such as 3/1) to a multiplier (the Payoff Price plus one). Take the multiplier and multiply this by your bet to determine your Payout or Win Amount (Payoff Price plus your original bet).
Rules
- Player(s) in a 1 or 2 player prop must enter game for wagers to have action. (e.g. Head-to-Head Passing Yards.)
- In a prop with 3 or more players, all wagers have action even if a player does not play for any reason.
Reverse bets
Reverse bets are always double action if bets
Example:
Part 1:
Jets -5 $110 to win $100
(If win, tie, or cancel)
Falcons -13 $110 to win $100
Part 2:
Falcons -13 $110 to win $100
(If win, tie, or cancel)
Jets – 5 $100 to win $100
Outcome:
If both teams win +400
One win, one loss -120
Both teams lose -220
Push +200
Open wagers:
Open wagers allow the customer to play teasers or parlays making one selection at different times or even different days.
Example: 3 team parlay $100 to win $600
Broncos -7
Colts -13
Open slot
Note:
Any open wager left unfilled/pending for more than 30 days will be cancelled. No open slots on the Internet. No open spots on 10 pt teasers. No open spots on 4 team or more parlays.
