STRAIGHT BET
A Straight Bet
is a wager on one selection and one selection only. If your selection
is a favorite you must win by the point spread in order to win your
wager. In the case of a push (i.e. the favorite wins by the spread or
the underdog loses by the spread), your original wager is refunded. If
you wager on an underdog, your selection can lose the game and you
still can win if they do not lose by more than the point spread.
Another type of Straight Bet is the Total Wager (commonly called the
"over/under"). The over/under is determined by adding both
teams final score together (overtime included). You must select
whether the total combined score will be over or under the line posted
for the total. The same odds and rules apply for a single total bet as
a Straight wager.
All Straight Bets are calculated at bet $11 to win $10. All selections
must be played on the scheduled date or there is no action on the game
and your original wager will be refunded. Make up games or games that
have been rescheduled will have no action.
PARLAYS
A Parlay Bet is
one wager consisting of at least two teams but not more than eight.
You select between 2 and 8 teams in no particular order. For you to
win the Parlay Bet, all the selections must win their respective games
by covering the point spread. If one team loses, then the whole Parlay
wager loses.
If any game is pushed (tied), postponed, incomplete, cancelled, or
re-scheduled for another date, the Parlay wager will be reduced to the
next type of wager for payout purposes. For example: A 4-team Parlay
wager will be reduced to a 3-team Parlay. A 2-team Parlay will be
reduced to a Straight wager.
Special Baseball Rules When wagering on total runs (over/under), the
game must go 9 innings (8.5 if the home team is ahead) to have action.
If a game is called or suspended, the score will be determined after
the last full inning (unless the home team scores to tie, or takes the
lead in the bottom half of the inning, in which case the score is
determined at the time the game is called). Rules for the run line
wagers are the same as those for baseball totals.
PARLAY CARDS
A Parlay Card
is a selection of 4 to 12 teams, in no particular order, in a single
wager. All teams wagered on in a Parlay Card must win (with the point
spread) for the wager to win. If any selections lose, the wager is
lost altogether.
If a game is cancelled or re-scheduled in a four-team Parlay Card there
will be no action and your original wager will be refunded as we
CANNOT accept a three-team Parlay Card.
All pushes (i.e. the favorite wins by the spread or the underdog loses
by the spread) lose on a Parlay Card. All selections must be played on
scheduled date or there is no action on these selections. Make up
games or games that have been rescheduled will have no action.
SQUARES
A Square Bet is
an exotic wager on the last two digits of the score of a game or score
at the end of a period of a game. Usually, there are 100 squares to
choose from. For example:
If the final
score between the Redskins and the Cowboys in the above Square is:
Redskins 35 Cowboys 14
Where the 5 on the Redskins side and the 4 on the Cowboys has been
wagered on, the player will win this bet.
All bets are action even if no player selects a winning Square.
Only one player is allowed per square so payoffs do not get shared
among many winners. Prices per Square are fixed and can be found in
the header of each Square page. Payoffs include the price of the
Square and can vary from game to game. The details of a Square
payoff are defined at the top right of each square grid. The price
per Square and total payoff can also be found in the upper left
corner. Values will be assigned randomly at the start of the event.
Player activity reports will show the geometric position of your
Square within the grid and after the game starts, will also show
which digits you need beside the team names.
Squares are paid out at the end of the event, so even when there are
winners at a half-time or quarter, the winning accounts are not
credited until the game is complete and the entire Square grid can
be graded.
TEASERS
In the event
of a tie, just like in parlays, the Teaser wager will be reduced to
the next lowest type of Teaser wager. In a 2 team Teaser, a tie and
a loss is a loss, a tie and a win would be a push constituting no
action. The player can mix basketball and football together in a
Teaser. The points will move according to the sport.
Depending they type of Teaser that is chosen, the payoffs will be as
followed:
SWEETHEART
TEASERS
A Sweetheart
Teaser is the same as a regular Teaser except that you MUST pick 3
teams and you will automatically get 10 points for football and 7
points for Basketball. For example:
The payoff for football is 10 / 13 and for basketball it is also 10
/ 13.
FUTURES
A Future bet
is a wager on the outcome of an event that is NOT to be played on
the current day but will be played in the future. Futures may
include the winner of the Super Bowl, World Series, Stanley Cup,
etc. Only straight wagers may be made on Futures. The odds will
change throughout the season. Usually Futures will offer higher odds
for players.
IF BETS
An If Bet is
a wager which is not yet action but will become action based on the
result of another bet. For example, let's say you place an If Bet on
2 straight wagers. You will ONLY have action on the second wager
ONLY if the first one wins, ties or cancels.
You can tag on a straight bet to an already existing wager making it
an If Bet if you so desire.
MOVING THE
LINE
This is an
option given to you if you would like to move the existing line by
up to 3 points. The payout varies according to how many points you
buy as follows:
- 1/2 point
lay 12/10
- 1 point
lay 13/10
- 1.5 points
lay 14/10
- 2 points
lay 15/10
- 2.5 points
lay 16/10
- 3 points
lay 17/10
Maximum buy in
Basketball (totals included) is 1 pt.
For football, if you buy on or off the #3, you must lay 13/10
