Available Wager Types

Moneyline Wagers

This is a wager that requires your selection to win outright. The odds are determined by what is called a money line or price. A money line is represented by a number preceeded by either + or a – such as –110. A price is the same money line converted into a decimal such as 1.91.

European Wagers Straight Wagers

These wagers require you to pick the outcome of an event. Your selection must either win, lose or draw for your wager to win. Selections in these wagers are accompanied by a price only such 1.91.

Point Spread Wagers

Your selection has to win by more than (or lose by less than) the adjusted line.

Example:

Miami -3.0
Green Bay +3.0

  • If you select 'Green Bay Packers + 3.0', the Packers must win the game or lose by less than 3 points.
  • If you select 'Miami Dolphins - 3.0', the Dolphins must win the game by more than 3 points.
  • In point spread betting, the odds are always -110 (or 1.91) meaning you win $100 for every $110 bet. If the game ties on the point spread, i.e. neither team wins or loses by the specified amount, the bet is cancelled and the wager is returned.

    Return to Top | Back

    Over/Under Wagers

    You can bet on the total score of the game. You can bet the final combined score of the two participating teams will be “over” or “under” a specified total. Over/Unders are always –110 unless otherwise noted.

    Return to Top | Back

    Buying Points

    Buying Points is restricted to two sports, football and basketball only. You can buy from 1/2 a point to a total of 3 points, in 1/2 point increments. Buying points can only be aplied to a pointspread wager or to an over/under. You cannot buy points on a moneyline.

    For every 1/2 point you buy, your selection will cost you an additional 10 cents.

    Example 1

    The line is:

    Detroit Pistons +4 -110

    You buy 11/2 points, the line is now:

    Detroit Pistons +5.5 -140

    * There is an exception for football. When you buy points that move the line onto or off of 3, that will cost you 25 cents instead of 10 cents.

    Example 2

    The line is:

    Dallas Cowboys +2.5 -110

    You buy 1/2 point, the line is now:

    Dallas Cowboys +3.0 -145

    Combinations Wagers (Parlays)

    By combining different wagers from different sports you can increase your potential payout. All of your selections must win for a combination wager to win. Any ties take that game off of your combination and reduce your combination by one, which in turn will reduce the pay out. If your combination is reduced to a single game, that wager will be played as a regular, single selection wager.

    The bet price is calculated by multiplying the individual prices of your selections. All your selections must win for the bet to pay out.

    Example:

    Miami -3.0
    Green Bay +3.0
    Dallas +6.0

    The price for this combination bet would be 6.96 (1.91 x 1.91 x 1.91). In other words, for a $10 bet, your return would be $69.60.

    Return to Top | Back

    Progressive Parlays

    Progressive parlays are different from regular parlays in that they have a fixed payout and they only apply to 4 an 8 team parlays. Also, you can still win if you lose one of your selections. In a 4 team progressive parlay if you lose one game and win the other 3 you still win. In an 8 team progressive parlay you win with either 6, 7 or 8 wins.

    Payout Charts

    4 team 8 Team
    4 wins 4-1 (+400) 8 Wins 75-1 (+7500)
    3 Wins 3-1 (+300) 7 Wins 5-1 (+500)
      6 Wins 3-1 (+300)

    Return to Top | Back

    Teaser Wagers (Football or Basketball)

    A teaser wager allows you to make a combination bet on football or basketball with the point spread adjusted or “teased” in your favour. In football you can adjust the point spread of your selections by 6, 6.5 or 7 points. In basketball, point spreads can be adjusted by 4, 4.5 or 5 points.

    All of your selections must win for a teaser wager to win. Any ties take that game off of your combination and reduce your combination by one, which in turn will reduce the pay out. If your teaser is reduced to a single game your teaser wager will be cancelled and your wager will be returned.

    There are also two special teaser wagers called “Sweetheart Teasers”. These are always 3 team teasers where ties lose. You must win all three games in order for your teaser to win. If football the “Sweetheart Teaser” gives 10 points while a basketball “Sweetheart Teaser” adjusts your line by 7 points.

    Example:

    Team Spread 6.0 6.5 7.0
    Miami -3.0 +3.0 +3.5 +4.0
    Green Bay +3.0 +9.0 +9.5 +10.0
    Dallas +6.0 +12.0 +12.5 +13.0

    In the example above, if you picked Miami in a 6 point teaser you would get Miami at +3.0 points instead of -3.0 points. So if Miami won the game or lost by up to 2 points that part of your teaser bet would win. A 6.5 or a 7 point teaser would give you Miami at +3.5 and +4.0 respectively. If you picked Dallas, you could move their point spread to +12.0, +12.5 or +13.0.

    Teaser Prices (Basketball/Football)

    # of Teams 4/6pt 4.5/6.5pt 5.0/7pt 7.0/10.0pt

    IF Wagers (Win and Action)

    You would place an IF Wager if you wanted action on a second game (or more games) without wanting to risk more than your original wager amount for a single wager. You can add up to 8 teams in an IF wager. You can also request an IF wager if 2 or more games are being played simultaneously.

    The advantage to placing an IF wager is that you only need to risk your original wager while taking action on up to 8 wagers.

    There are two types of IF wagers: IF WIN and IF ACTION. Your IF WIN wager will continue only if your wagers continue to win. If any of your games lose, tie or are cancelled for any reason, your entire IF wager ends. IF ACTION wagers allow your IF wager to continue if one of your games is ties or is cancelled for any reason.

    Rules For IF Wagers

    1. The first selection for an IF wager must start at the same time or before the rest of your IF wager selections. Example: Your first selection starts at 1pm so your other selections must start at either 1pm or later.
    2. You cannot IF a game to itself or any associated prop to that game. Example: You cannot IF the first half of a game to the full game or the other way around.
    3. Your are required to place a bet amount for each of your selections in the IF wager. Your bet amounts cannot be higher than the previous bet total payout. Example: If you wager $110 to win $100 on your first selection, then your next selection in the IF wager cannot be for more then $110.
    4. You can place IF wagers between leagues and sports

    IF WIN Example

    Team Line Bet Payout Status Total

    Team Line Bet Payout Status Total
    Dallas Cowboys +7, -110 $110 $100 WIN $210

    IF WIN
    LA KINGS
    -.5, +120 No Action on this wager

    Total Bet: $110
    Total Win: $200

    IF ACTION Example

    Team Line Bet Payout Status Total
    Dallas Cowboys +7, -110 $110 $100 WIN $210

    Reverse Wagers

    1. The first selection for your Reverse wager must start at the same time or before the second selection. Example: Your first selection starts at 1pm so your other selection must start at either 1pm or later.
    2. You cannot reverse a game to itself or any associated prop to that game. Example: You cannot Reverse the first half of a game to the full game or the other way around.
    3. You can only reverse for the amount that you wager on the previous bet. Example: if you wager $110 to win $100 on a game the second selection can only be for a maximum risk amount of $110
    4. You can place reverse wagers between leagues and sports
    5. Reverse wagers can only be placed with 2 selections
    6. Both Reverse WIN and Reverse ACTION are available.

    Reverse WIN Example

    A 2 team reverse is really 2 IF Bets. If you bet on Dallas and Miami the wager would work as follows:

    If Dallas Wins then Miami
    and
    If Miami Wins then Dallas

    Possible Outcomes:
    1) Both teams win: you would have bet a total of $220 ($110 on each IF wager) and won $400 for a total of $620 payout.
    2) Dallas wins and Miami loses: In this case, the first IF bet (Dallas if win then Miami) you win the first straight bet and lose the second one. For a total loss of $10 ($220 bet and only $210 won). On the second IF (Miami if win then Dallas) you lose the first straight, having no action on the second one. For the second IF there is a loss of $110 ($110 bet, nothing won). This gives a net loss of $120 for this situation.
    3) Miami wins and Dallas loses: This follows the same result as the last example.
    4) Both teams lose: In this case you would loses the first part of both IF wagers and loses a total of $220.

    Asian Handicapping - Soccer Only

    With Asian Handicaps, you bet on either the favourite or the underdog. There is no "Tie" bet. The handicap, or spread, removes the gap in ability between the favourite and underdog making the match a contest of equal ability. The bigger the ability gap is between both teams, the larger the handicap will be.

    The simple example of this style of wagering would be the following:

    Arsenal -0.5
    Manchester +0.5

    Arsenal would be considered the favourite because 1/2 a goal is subtracted from their final score. Manchester would be the underdog because 1/2 goal is added to their final score. In this example, if you were to choose Arsenal, Arsenal would need to win the game by 1 goal. If the game ended in a 1-1 tie, then you would lose your wager because the final adjusted score would be Arsenal .5 and Manchester 1.

    Sometimes the handicap line becomes more complicated and a second line is added. This is called a splitball and here is an example:

    Arsenal -0.5, -1.0
    Manchester +0.5, +1.0

    Again, Aresenal would be considered the favorite because of the negative line. In this case, you would be placing two bets; one for Arsenal at -0.5 and one for Arsenal at -1.0. If the game was to end with Arsenal winning 2-1, the result would be as follows:

    You bet $100 on the wager which would be split into two $50 wagers. $50 on Arsenal at -0.5 and $50 on Arsenal at -1.0. Here are the possible outcomes for this example:

    Arsenal Loses - Your total payout on a $100 bet would be $0.
    You lose the -0,5 bet
    You lose the -1.0 bet

    Arsenal wins by 1 goal - Your total payout on a $100 bet would be $150.
    You win the -0.5 bet and win $50
    You tie the -1.0 bet and are refunded $50

    The game is tied - Your total payout on a $100 bet would be $0.
    You win the -0.5 bet and win $50
    You tie the -1.0 bet and are refunded $50

    Arsenal wins by 2 or more goals - Your total payout on a $100 bet would be $200.
    You win the -0.5 bet and win $50
    You win the -1.0 bet and win $50

    How Can I Make A Free Bet?

Miami wins the game by 10 point and you win the bet. $22 was added to your REAL money account. If you lose, it doesn't cost you a penny.

      • Special Motorsport Rule: Races must be run within one week of the scheduled date for your bet to have action.

      • Parlay or Multiples Betting - No multiple (parlay) bets can be accepted where individual legs are 'connected'. For example, one leg of a parlay is for Sampras to beat Henman in the 4th round of Wimbeldon and the second or additional part of the parlay is for Sampras to win the overall Wimbledon title. The match forms part of the overall tournament and is therefore 'connected'. In the same way, you cannot parlay the over of the first half of a football game with the over of the total game, because the two are 'connected'

      • Dead Heat - In the event of a dead heat (a tie), stakes will be divided by the number of selections dead heating with the divided stake settled at full odds, remaining stakes are lost. If the tie was a betting option, then the dead heat rule does not apply. The Dead Heat Rule only applies to Future Wagers. For example, if there is a 3 way tie for the Top Scorer in a Football game. Then your winnings are calculated by taking your stake, dividing it by 3, and multiplying that amount by the odds on your betting ticket.
