How to Bet

Straight bets are made when you choose a team and the point spread. The cost of the bet is 10/11 or $110 to win $100.

Example:

• If the straight bet is on the Bulls -6 then the Bulls must win by more than 6 points for the bet to win.
• If the straight bet is on the Raptors +6 then the Raptors cannot lose by more than 5 points for the bet to win.
• If the game lands on 6 pts. then your bet is a 'push' and will result in 'no action'. i.e: Final Score: Rap 90 and Bulls 96

Two or more teams or totals can be combined to make one wager. Circled games cannot be parlayed. Proposition plays, and future bets cannot be parlayed.

You may estimate Parlay Payoffs by following steps (example provided):

Let's say you play the Pirates +150 and the Pirate game over 8 -120 in a two team parlay and you bet $100. Use the following steps to determine your winnings.

1. Calculate Parlay Factor for each piece: if the price of the piece is positive - simply add one to get factor, if the price of the piece is negative v calculate reciprocal, multiply by -1, and then add one.
   1.50 + 1 = 2.50
   -1.20 (take reciprocal or divide one by the negative price) 1/1.20 = 0.83 + 1 = 1.83
2. Multiply all factors - then multiply this factor times the bet amount - the result is the payoff (including your bet).
   2.50 x 1.83 = 4.57 (now multiply this times your bet) x 100 = 457
   $457 is your total return if both pieces win (including your bet amount).
3. Subtract your bet from the figure calculated in 2 - Result is your winnings.
   457 - 100 = 357 Winnings

This will also work for three, four, five,... team parlays, simply follow the steps. Note: This will provide you with a rough estimate; actual winnings may differ due to rounding.

In case of tie or no action the parlay will revert to lower level payoff, except in a 2 team parlay where a tie reverts to a straight bet.

Parlay Payouts

"If bets" allow our members to make a second wager pending a win on the first selection. "If" wagers must be made on one call.

Example:

• If the Cowboys lose, the wager stops there and is scored a loser -$110
• if the Cowboys win +$100 the wager continues to the Panthers wager
• if the Panthers win, the wager is a $200 winner
  
• if the Panthers lose the wager is a $10 loss.

Reverse Bets are always double action IF bets.

Example:

Part A:
Cowboys -5 $110 to win $100
IF (if win, tie, or cancel)
Dolphins -14 $110 to win $100
Part B:
Dolphins -14 $110 to win $100
IF (if win, tie, or cancel)
Cowboys -5 $110 to win $100

• If both teams win +400
• One win, one loss -120
• Both teams lose -220
• Push +200

Action Points are available for football and basketball. Action Points are for the bettor who not only can predict which team will win the game, but by how many points. Your action point wager is capped from 1 point to a maximum of 15 points, and the wager you risk cannot exceed your available balance. On this type of wager, you risk $110 for every $100 wagered.

Example:

Atlanta Hawks 191
Houston Rockets -5

• Suppose you wager $100 a point on the Houston Rockets and ask for a cap of 10 points. Houston must win by at least 5 points, and for every point over the point spread of 5 that they win by, you win $100. You have the chance of winning between $100 and $1,000.
• If Houston wins by 9 points, your net winnings would be $400. On the other hand, if Houston fails to cover the point spread, you risk $110 for every point that they fall short of the 5-point spread. You can also use totals either over or under, or the underdog in the game, getting 5 points.
• Action Points can only be played on a point spread, i.e. a team to win a game.

Football and Basketball betting you are given the option to bet a point spread or a moneyline bet. With money lines you wager which team is going to win. Disregarding the point spread.

Example:

Orlando Magic -280
Houston Rockets +240

• If you wager on Orlando -280 you lay $280 to win $100.
• If you wager on Houston +240 you lay $100 to win $240.
• The line values are determined base on the point spread. When betting moneylines you are betting on a team to win the game outright.

Open wagers allow our members to play teasers or parlays making one selection at different times or even different days.

Example: 3 Team Parlay $100 to win $600

Cowboys -8
Dolphins -14
