What is a Straight Wager?
The sports team wagered on MUST win by the pointspread given at the placement of the bet. For straight sports wagers, unless otherwise indicated, the odds are $1.10 to win $1.00. Sport games that tie are considered "no action" and money is re-deposited back into the account. Due to changing events, the pointspread may fluctuate at any time. Refreshing your screen will update current odds.

Example:
Player bets $110.00 on Miami -7 to beat Buffalo +7

If Miami wins by more than 7 points the player wins $100.00. The total payout, including the initial sport wager, would be $210.00. If Miami wins by exactly 7... the game is considered "no action" and all money is returned to the bettor. If Miami wins by less than 7, the straight sports bet is lost.

What is a Money Line?
Simply put, the wagered sports team has to win the game. The amount one lays, or takes, for each game may vary. The money line that is quoted at the time of placing the sports wager is the money line, regardless of any later line movement.

Example:
The player places a Money Line wager on Miami -160 at Buffalo +140.

If Miami wins, the player would have wagered $160.00 to win $100.00 (plus the return of the $160.00 bet). If the player wagered on Buffalo, the player would bet $100.00 to win $140.00 (plus receive the $100 wagered amount).

What is a Total?
The combined score of both teams for games wagered on is the TOTAL. All totals lay $1.10 to win $1.00 unless it is otherwise indicated.

Example:
The player places a sports wager bet of $220.00 on the 'OVER' in the Miami / Buffalo game. The total for the game is 45.

If both teams' combined score is MORE than 45 total, the player wins $200.00. If the combined score is EQUAL to 45, the game is considered 'No Action' and the amount wagered is re-deposited to the player's account. If the combined score is LESS than 45 total, the sport bet is lost.

What is a Parlay?
This is a bet of 2 or more teams (selections) in no particular order. All teams wagered on a parlay MUST win. If there is a tie, or 'No Action', among the selections made, the parlay reverts down to the next lowest number for payoff purposes. In the case of a 2-team parlay, it reverts back to a straight wager.

Example:
The player wants to make a 5 team parlay: Miami -7, New York +3, Seattle -4, Denver -10, and San Francisco -8.

If ALL win, the player collects at 20-1 odds. If 4 of the games win and 1 game is considered 'No Action', the player collects at 10-1 odds. If 1 of the sport teams lose, the ENTIRE Parlay bet loses.

Parlay Payouts
# of Teams 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Payout 13/5 6/1 10/1 20/1 40/1 75/1 150/1 300/1 700/1

What is a Teaser?
A Teaser is a selection of two or more teams in one wager in which the point spread is adjusted to your desire. The number of teams selected, and the number of teaser 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 'No Action' and a 'Loss' on a two team teaser constitutes a 'Losing' wager. Ties on a three team, or more, teaser shall revert to the next lowest betting bracket. Example: A pointspread tie on a three team becomes a two team teaser.

What is a Future and Proposition Wager?

Future bets are based on the outcome of events that happen each year. All sport wagers are final. There will be no payouts until the conclusion of the specified event.

Proposition wagers are based on the outcome of events that happen each year, such as the Super Bowl, the World Series, and the Kentucky Derby. Odds change daily and all wagers are considered action at the odds quoted at the time of the sport bet.

What are Half-Time Wagers?
A Half-Time sports wager is placed on the odds posted for the second half of a game only. All sport book 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 half-times. On half-time wagers, overtime periods are included as part of the 2nd half sport wager.

What are European Odds?
European odds are different from the North American style of sports wager odds. In North America, money lines are used to determine the line. A sport team that is +140 would be a 40 point underdog. This means that for every $100 wager, the player would win $140. For this to be true in a European style of sport betting, the odds would be 2.40... meaning that for each $100 wager, the player would win $140. The 2.40 represents the entire amount wagered and won by the sport player.
