total is 189.
The odds are $1.10 to win $1.00 (-110) unless otherwise indicated.
For the player who wagers on the Lakers -10, they must win by more than 10 points for this
to be a winning wager. For the player who wagers on Portland +10, they must either win the
game, or lose by less than 10 points for this to be a winning wager. If the outcome falls
on the number, either way, the bet is declared a "Push", and the original stake
is refunded.
For the player who wagers on the total points of this contest by both teams to be
"Over" 189, the combined final score of both teams must exceed 189. For the
player who wagers on the total points of this contest by both teams to be
"Under" 189, the combined final score of both teams must be less than 189. If
the outcome falls on the number, the bet is declared a "Push", and the original
stake is refunded.
Pointspread and Over/Under lines will be offered on all NBA, WNBA and NCAA contests.
All wagers on the side & total will include all overtime scoring.
Halftime Wagers
Offering Halftime Betting , both online and over the telephone. 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.
- First half lines will be offered on all NBA and NCAA
basketball contests.
- Second half betting lines will be offered on all NBA and the
majority of NCAA contests, and will be offered within 5 minutes of the end of the first
half of the contest.
- Wagers may be parlayed to other contests, but a first half
wager may not be parlayed to any other wager from the same game.
- No teaser plays or buying of points is allowed on Halftime
Wagers.
- Overtime periods are included as part of the second half.
- The full half (first or second) must be played for action.
Quarter Wagers
Offering betting on individual quarters of selected contests, both online and over
the telephone. Wagering on quarters is simply a wager only on the score of the first,
second, third or fourth quarter of a contest. These lines will be offered on marquee
events, such as playoff and championship games. 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
quarter specified.
- Overtime scoring is not included in Fourth Quarter wagers.
Moneyline Wagers
Offering moneyline wagering on Basketball, both online and over the telephone. Moneyline
Wagering is simply wagering on the contest based on a given price rather than a
pointspread. The team wagered on just has to win the game.
Example
A player could choose one of two wagers on the following matchup: L.A. Lakers -200 at
Portland Trailblazers +180. If the Lakers win, the player laid $200.00 to win $100.00. If
Portland wins, the player who bet $100.00 wins $180.00.
- Moneylines will be offered on most NBA and NCAA basketball
contests.
- Moneyline wagers may be parlayed to other contests, but a
moneyline wager may not be parlayed to any other wager from the same game.
Point Buying
Offering Point Buys. This is a method of allowing the bettor to improve the pointspread of
a basketball contest by actually "buying points" for the team he/she wants to
wager, side or total. Bettors can buy points in 1/2 point increments up to 3 points,
depending on the contest. Each 1/2 point costs the bettor an additional 10% vigorish.
Example
The L.A. Lakers are playing the Portland Trailblazers, and the line on the game is the
Lakers -10, with a total of 189. If a $100 wager is placed on the Lakers -10 with a 1/2
point buy, the player has a wager on the Lakers -9 1/2 points, and must put up $120 to win
$100, instead of the usual $110 to win $100. If the player, for example, requests a full 1
point buy to move the pointspread down to -9, he/she would have to put up $130 to win
$100.
Conversely, the bettor may also buy points on the Trailblazers side, and get the line at
plus 10 1/2 or 11 points, with the same increase in vigorish.
Bettors may also buy points for basketball totals. In this particular game, bettors could
buy an "over" wager with a maximum line move down to 188, or an
"under" wager with a maximum line move up to 190.
- Point Buying up to a maximum of 3 points will be offered on
all NBA and NCAA contests.
- Point Buying will not be offered on halftime, quarter or
moneyline wagers.
