    5Dimes -- Bet the board or straight?

    Hypothetically, if I want to place a single bet for $100 on the Denver Nuggets at +220, what option should I use? Bet the board or straight? I don't get what the difference is.

    straight is less hassle. This way you can choose between risk or to win amount.

    What is "risk" and "win"?

    Sorry for the asinine questions, but the 5dimes site doesn't explain this.

    Risk = How much you want to risk. (+110, you put in a 100, and it will figure you want to win $110)
    Win = How much you want to win. (-110, you would put in a 100, and it will figure $110 wagered)

    It will show you the winning amount on the next screen. Bet is confirmed until you enter your password and submit.
