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, canceled, 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
canceled 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:
|
Cowboys (Across)
Redskins (Down)

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
A Teaser bet
is when you select two or more teams combined into one wager, in which
additional points are either added to the underdog or subtracted from the
favorite.
You select between
2 and 6 teams in no particular order. The point spread in each selection
will be altered in favor of the player. In basketball games, the points
can be altered 4 points, 4.5 points, or 5 points. In football games, you
have the option of a 6 point, 6.5 point, or 7 point Teaser. An example
of a 3-team football teaser is:
|
Original
Line
|
6 Point
Teaser
|
6.5 Point

|
7 Point

|
|
Cowboys -8
|

|
Redskins +9.5
|
Redskins +10
|
|
Eagles +5
|
Eagles +11
|
Eagles +11.5
|
Eagles +12
|
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:
|
Original
Line
|
Sweetheart
Teaser Line
|
|

|
Cowboys
+ 2
|
|
Redskins
+3
|
Redskins
+ 13
|
|
Eagles

|
Eagles
+15
|
The payoff for
football is 10 / 13 and for basketball 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
