Football Betting - Straight, Money
Line, Totals, Half-Time
Straight Bets
The team wagered on must win by the point spread given at the time
of the wager. For straight wagers, unless otherwise indicated, the
odds are $1.10 to win $1.00. Games that tie are considered "no action"
and money is re-deposited back into your account. Due to changing
events, the point spread may fluctuate at any time.
Example: Player
wagers $110.00 on Chargers -7 to beat Jets +7 If Chargers wins by
more than 7 points the player wins $100.00 so the total payout including
the initial wager would be $210.00. If Chargers only win by 7 points
then the game is considered "no action" and all money is returned
to the bettor. If the Chargers wins by less than 7 points the wagers
is lost.
Totals
(also known as Over/Under bets)
The combined score of both teams for games wagered on, all totals
lay $1.10 to win $1.00 unless it is otherwise indicated.
Example: The
player lays $220.00 on the OVER in the Chargers/Jets game. The total
for the game is 45. If both teams' combined score is more than 45
than the player would win $200.00. If the combined score is equal
45 the game is concidered "no action" and the mone y is returned.
If the combined score is less than 45 then the wager is lost.
Money Line
Wagers
The team wagered on just has to win the game. The amount you lay
or take for each game may vary. The money line that is read to at
the time of your wager is the money line you keep regardless of
any line movement.
Example: The
player wagers on Chargers -160 at Jets +260. If Chargers wins then
the player would lay $160.00 to win $100.00. If the player bet on
Jets then the player would lay $100.00 to win $260.00
Halftime
Wagers
Halftime wagering is simply a wager only on the score of the first,
or second half of a contest. The line offered will be a pointspread,
a moneyline, or a combination of the two, but the wager applies
only to the score of the halftime period specified.
