Point Spread:
The point spread is the number of points that the favored team is expected to win
by. For example, say the New York Knicks are favored to beat the LA Clippers by a point spread of
7. That means that if you pick the Knicks to win, they have to win by more than 7 points for you
to win your bet. If they win by fewer than 7 points or lose the game, you lose your bet. If they
win by exactly 7 points (the point spread), the result is a push or tie. That means that you don't
win or lose, your original bet is refunded.
Money Lines:
The difference between a pointspread bet and a moneyline bet is that there are no points
involved. Instead, money odds are wagered on the favorite or underdog. There is a different
moneyline total for either side on a money line bet, a negative side (the favorite) and a positive
side (the underdog): Dallas -170 Washington +150 What this means is that Dallas is the favorite
and for every $17 you bet on Dallas, you win $10 if they win. For every $10 you bet on Washington,
the underdog, you win $15 if they win. By offering different odds for each team the sportsbook is
able to balance action on both teams.

Straight Bets:
A straight bet is the most common bet, where you pick a single side to win. A wager on one event
whose outcome for wagering purposes shall be determined by a point spread or money odds. All
straight and Total bets are 10/11 unless otherwise noted at the time of the wager.
MENU TOP
Totals (over/under):
A total wager is a bet on the number of points scored in the game by both teams combined.
You can bet on whether the actual number of total points scored is over or under the line posted.
The total points scored includes points scored in overtime. You can also bet whether the combined
number of points or goals scored by the two teams in the game will be over or under the total set
by the oddsmaker. For example, if the total is 32 and you believe that the combined points scored
by the two teams will exceed that number, you would bet over 32.

Parlays:
A parlay bet is a single wager involving multiple propositions. Two or more straight wagers can be
tied together to form one wager. The bettor must chose the winner of each proposition in order to
win the parlay. Payout odds increase as the number of included propositions increases. All teams
must win by the listed point spread.

Reverse Bets:
A reverse is a series of IF bets going both forward and in "reverse" order.
Each team included in the Reverse will pair with another team to form two IF bets, one with that
team first and another with that team as the second team in the IF.
Each bet in the reverse is an individual straight wager for the full amount of
the reverse. Note: Each bet is for the same amount.
WIN REVERSE
IF win only (single action) .
ACTION REVERSE
IF win/tie/cancel (double action) condition.
Why use this bet
A reverse offers the advantage of a large payout without the risk of losing the bet if
one team loses. For example, if you place a 3-team reverse for $110 your total risk will be $660.
If all 3 teams win you win $1200 and if only 2 teams win you still win $160. This last example is
under the assumption that all money lines were -110.
Reverse Rules:
- The Rules of IF bets apply
- The bet amount chosen for the Reverse is the same amount for each IF bet in the reverse (you
risk the same amount for each IF bet created in the Reverse)
- The maximum win is determined by adding up the individual win amounts of each bet included in
the reverse
- Number of selections allowed 3.
- You may buy points on each selection in the reverse up to a maximum of 2 points
