Available Wager Types
Straight 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:
| Team |
Spread |
| 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 'Dallas Cowboys - 3.0', the Cowboys 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.

Over/Under Totals
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.

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:
| Team |
Spread |
| 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.

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.

How are my winnings calculated?
When you add selections to your Bet Card, the potential payout for your bet
is calculated and displayed for you automatically. Here is how the calculation
is determined:
The decimal price that we display is the price you get for the outcome of your
event. This price includes your bet amount. Your winnings are calculated by
simply multiplying your bet amount by the displayed odds. For example:
Place a $100 bet at a price of 3.5
Your return would be:
$100 x 3.5 = $350
On North American Sports, the equivalent 'cents line' or �money line� is also
displayed. With a 'positive' money line, which indicates the underdog, for every
100 cents you bet, you receive the amount displayed plus your bet amount. For
example:
Place a $10 bet at a cents line of +130 (decimal price of 2.3)
Your return would be:
($10 x 130 cents) + $10 bet amount = $23 (= $10 x 2.3)
With a 'negative' cents line, which indicates the favourite, for every 100
cents you wish to win, you need to bet an amount equivalent here to the displayed
lineproceed.
For example:
Place a $12 bet at a cents line of �120 (decimal price of 1.83)
Your return would be:
$100 + $12 bet amount = $22 (= $12 x 1.83)
