Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
Starting today straight bets will be available on Parlaymakers. There are some rules that apply. Basically, anything that Matchbook does not offer can now be done on Matchbook via Parlaymakers. Things like European basketball, European hockey, lots more international soccer options (2nd tier leagues, Brazil, Argentina), some additional prop bets, some smaller mainly European sports like volleyball, water polo, futsal, at times some additional tennis options. You can create these straight bets now just like you would create a parlay or teaser with the event posting in the Xbets area.
Also, if you see an event on Matchbook that does not have any offers you can submit a straight bet on Parlaymakers and we will post an offer in that event so you can place your wager. We are adding some liquidity to some of those less popular events already on Matchbook. Note, this offer will not appear in the Xbets section but under the existing (already listed) Matchbook event.
We will reject any straight bet request that already has an existing liquid market in Matchbook.
Here are the official rules:
Straight Bet Rules
- Submitted straight bets for events that are not currently listed on Matchbook in any of their regular sporting event categories will be created in the Xbet area of Matchbook, listed with the order ID number provided by Parlaymakers.
- Submitted straight bets for events that are currently listed on Matchbook in any of their regular sporting event categories that have sufficient available offers on those events will be rejected.
- Submitted straight bets for events that are currently listed on Matchbook in any of their regular sporting event categories that do not have sufficient available offers or where Parlaymakers offer is better will be accepted and Parlaymakers will submit an offer in the appropriate category on Matchbook based on the odds in the straight bet that has been submitted. This will not appear in Xbets but in the event that is already on Matchbook.
- Maximum straight bet is $250.
Best of luck to everyone
