Guide to Betting: Types of Bet
Buying Points allows you the ability to change the point spread of a football or basketball game. You can move the point spread so you get more points if you are betting the underdog or you give away less points if you are betting the favorite. For each half point that you change the point spread you need to pay an extra 10%.
There are two special rules:
- When buying on or off the number 3 in the Pro Football, there is a
premium cost of 25%, not 10%. So for example to move the Chargers from
-3 -110 to -2.5, the new line will be -2.5 -135 (lay $135 to win $100).
The same is true for the underdog, to buy Bears from +3 -110 to +3.5 will be
-135 (lay $135 to win $110).
- On half or reduced juice games or half or reduced juice days, there are
additional premium costs for buying points:
A. for 1-50 points on college football, there is a 5% additional
premium.
B. for buying on or off the number 7 on college football, the
premium is 25%.
C. for 1-25 points on professional football, there is a 5%
additional premium.
D. for buying on or off the number 3 or 7 on professional
football, the premium is 25%.
You can only buy a maximum of 3 points in Football and Basketball, both college and pro.
In Running Bets
In Running Bets games
must go a full 8.5 Innings for bets to have action.
Baseball Player and Pitcher Props are listed pitchers. The game
must go a full 8.5 Innings for bets to have action. If there is
a pitching change, all player props for that game will be closed
immediately and when the game starts and its confirmed that a different
pitcher threw out the first pitch other than the listed pitcher,
those props will be graded No Action.
Parlay or Multiple Betting
No parlay wagers can be accepted where individual wagers are 'connected'
, 'dependant' or 'correlated'. For example, one wager in your parlay
is for Sampras to beat Agassi in the 4th round of Wimbledon and
the second or additional part of the parlay is for Sampras to win
the overall Wimbledon title. The match forms part of the overall
tournament and is therefore 'correlated'. In the same way, you cannot
parlay the total of the first half of a football game with the total
of the game line itself, as the two are 'dependent'
