STRAIGHT BETS


SPREAD / SIDES  
This wager is made when you choose a team and the point spread. The cost of the wager is 10/11 or $110 to win $100.

if the straight wager is on the Colts -8½ then the Colts must win by 9 or more points for the wager to win. If the straight wager is on the Steelers +8½ then the Steelers cannot lose by more than 8 points for the wager to win. Had the spread on the above example been 8, if the game landed on 8 pts., then the game would be a "PUSH" and result in "NO ACTION".

MONEY LINE
With this type of wager you wager which team is going to win. Disregarding the point spread.
If you wager on the Colts -400 you lay $400 to win $100. If you wager on the Steelers +320 you lay $100 to win $320

OVER/UNDER / TOTALS]
This is a wager on the combined scores (total) of a game. That being over or under the posted line. The cost of the wager is 10/11.
If you place a wager for UNDER 47, the combined total score of both teams must fall UNDER 47 pts. If you place a wager for OVER 47, the combined total score of both teams must go OVER 47 pts. If the combined total score falls on 47 pts. The wager is a "PUSH" and there is "NO ACTION".

PARLAY  


This wager is a selection of teams in no particular order, in one wager. All teams must win by the point-spread margin. The more teams selected, the greater the payoff.

Example of a Two Team Parlay for $100:

PLEASERS  


A Pleaser is similar to a teaser except that you are giving away points instead of receiving points. If the regular line were -1, your line with the pleaser would be -7. With a Pleaser, the line you bet for each wager is moved against your favor by 6 points. To win with a Pleaser, all the bets must win by the newly adjusted line.

In return for a higher payout, you make in more difficult for each wager to win.

- Sides and Totals allowed. Only the game line can be used, not available for 1st or 2nd halves or any quarter lines.
- If one selection loses the pleaser is considered a loss. Except on a two team pleaser if one team ties the wager is a "push" regardless if the other team wins or loses.

REVERSE ACTION 


Reverse wagers are always "double action" IF bets.

Part A
Chiefs -3 $115 to win $100
IF (win, tie or cancel)
Ravens +9 $110 to win $100

Part B
Ravens +9 $110 to win $100
IF (win, tie or cancel)
Chiefs -3 $115 to win $100

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