Scored Official
At least 55 minutes of play must elapse for
bets to have action, unless otherwise specified. Overtime counts for all bets
unless otherwise specified.
Game propositions

can cover a wide range of results and occurrences within the game e.g. total
offensive yards, total first downs, longest scoring play, time of first score
etc.
Any special game proposition bets offered are accepted single bets only, unless
specified otherwise. For example, the following props are allowed in parlays -
winning margins, double result, highest scoring quarter and first scoring play
of the game is.

Futures
NFL regular season wins and match-ups are based on teams completing all 16
regular season games.
AFC/NFC Conference winners are determined by the teams progressing to the
Superbowl.
NFL Divisional winners are determined by games won during regular season based
on teams completing all 16 games. (Tie is no action)
NCAA regular season wins and match-ups are based on teams completing the minimum
number of games specified.
(Ties are no action)
Straight Bets
The team wagered on must win by the point spread given at the time of the
wager. For straight wagers, unless otherwise indicated, the odds are $1.10 to
win $1.00. Games that tie are considered "no action" and money is re-deposited
back into your account. Due to changing events, the point spread may fluctuate
at any time.
Example: Player wagers $110.00 on Cleveland -6 to beat +6 If San Diego wins by
more than 6 points the player wins $100.00 so the total payout including the
initial wager would be $210.00. If Cleveland only wins by 6 points then the game
is considered "no action" and all money is returned to the bettor. If the
Cleveland wins by less than 7 points the wagers is lost.
Totals
(also known as Over/Under bets)
The combined score of both teams for games wagered on, all totals lay $1.10 to
win $1.00 unless it is otherwise indicated.
Example: The player lays $110.00 on the OVER in the NY Jets/Dallas game. The
total for the game is 45. If both teams' combined score is more than 45 than the
player would win $100.00. If the combined score is equal 45 the game is
considered "no action" and the money is returned. If the combined score is less
than 45 then the wager is lost.
Buying
points
Points can be bought only on
point spreads and totals to move the spread or total to your advantage. The
amount you have to risk in order to win the same amount originally quoted will
increase. The amount of this increase will vary depending on how many points are
bought. Push rules apply.
Money Line Wagers
The team wagered on just has to win the game. The amount you lay or take for
each game may vary. The money line that is read to at the time of your wager is
the money line you keep regardless of any line movement.
Example: The player wagers on Miami -160 at Minnesota +260. If Miami wins then
the player would lay $160.00 to win $100.00. If the player bet on Minnesota then
the player would lay $100.00 to win $260.00
Halftime Wagers
Halftime wagering is simply a wager only on the score of the first, or second
half of a contest. The line offered will be a pointspread, a moneyline, or a
combination of the two, but the wager applies only to the score of the halftime
period specified.
Parlays
(also known as Multiples or Combos)
This is a bet of 2 or more teams (selections) or propositions in no particular
order. All teams wagered on in 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. In the case of a 2-team parlay, it will revert down to a
straight wager. No parlay bets will be accepted where individual "selections"
are connected. For example, you cannot parlay the over of the first half of a
football game with the over of the total game, because the two are 'connected'
Teasers
A Teaser is a selection of two or more teams in one wager in which the point
spread is adjusted in your favor. The number of teams selected and the number of
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 a "No
Action" and a "Loss" on a two team teaser shall constitute a "Losing" wager.
Ties on a three or more team teaser shall revert to the next lowest betting
bracket. (Example: A tie on a three team becomes a two team teaser.)
Futures
A "futures" wager is a bet placed on an event that is scheduled to occur at some
future date. For instance, prior to the beginning of the regular season for each
major sport, odds will be established for each team to win their individual
division, conference and seasonal championship.
Another type of "future" wager that has become extremely popular is the
over/under wager for the total number of victories for the entire season for a
given team.
Proposition Bets (Exotics)
Simply put, Proposition/Exotic Bets may generally be considered as any wager
other than a straight "side" or "over/under" wager. More specifically, these
wagers usually involve specific events and occurrences that happen throughout
any given game. We have listed some examples for you below.
Props/Exotics will be offered on the more marquee games on the betting menu.
These include, but are not limited to, Sunday and Monday night NFL games,
various NCAA Football games, major Bowl games, and most Playoff and Championship
games. There are also many other miscellaneous events that Props and Exotics
will be offered for.
Examples and Definitions of Common Props/Exotics
*- Which team will be the first to score?
The team that scores first in the game (touchdown, field goal or other). This
bet will be taken off the board for wagering 15 minutes before the scheduled
kickoff time because the coin has been tossed and the team who will have the

POINTSPREAD
Many online sportsbooks and casinos offer point spread and over / under betting,
both online and over the telephone. On a point spread wager, the team wagered
must win by the point spread. On an over / under wager, the total points of the
contest by both teams, overtime included, must fall over or under the side
selected.
Example:
The posted line is the L.A. Lakers -10 at Portland Trailblazers +10 and the
over/under total is 189.
The odds are $1.10 to win $1.00 (-110) unless otherwise indicated.
For the player who wagers on the Lakers -10, they must win by more than 10
points for this to be a winning wager. For the player who wagers on Portland
+10, they must either win the game, or lose by less than 10 points for this to
be a winning wager. If the outcome falls on the number, either way, the bet is
declared a "Push", and the original stake is refunded.
For the player who wagers on the total points of this contest by both teams to
be "Over" 189, the combined final score of both teams must exceed 189. For the
player who wagers on the total points of this contest by both teams to be
"Under" 189, the combined final score of both teams must be less than 189. If
the outcome falls on the number, the bet is declared a "Push", and the original
stake is refunded.
Pointspread and Over/Under lines will be offered on all NBA contests.
All wagers on the side & total will include all overtime scoring
MONEYLINE
Many Las Vegas and web based sportsbooks offer moneyline odds wagering on
American BasketBall, both online and over the telephone. Moneyline Wagering is
simply wagering on the contest based on a given price rather than a pointspread.
The team bet on just, has to win the game.
Example:
A player could choose one of two wagers on the following matchup: L.A. Lakers
-200 at Portland Trailblazers +180. If the Lakers win, the player laid $200.00
to win $100.00. If Portland wins, the player who bet $100.00 wins $180.00.

on the contest. Each 1/2 point costs the bettor an additional 10% vigorish.
