Parlays, Teasers ...
Brief explanation of the different types of bets to wager on football
(NFL).
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 Cleveland -6 to beat +6 If San
Diego wins by more than 6 points the player wins $100.00 so the
total payout including the initial wager would be $210.00. If Cleveland
only wins by 6 points then the game is considered "no action" and
all money is returned to the bettor. If the Cleveland 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 $110.00 on the OVER in the NY Jets/Dallas
game. The total for the game is 45. If both teams' combined score
is more than 45 than the player would win $100.00. If the combined
score is equal 45 the game is considered "no action" and the money
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 Miami -160 at Minnesota +260. If Miami
wins then the player would lay $160.00 to win $100.00. If the player
bet on Minnesota 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.
Parlays
(also known as Multiples or Combos)
This is a bet of 2 or more teams (selections) or propositions in
no particular order. All teams wagered on in a parlay must win.
If there is a tie, or "no action" among the selections made, the
parlay reverts down to the next lowest number for payoff. In the
case of a 2-team parlay, it will revert down to a straight wager.
No parlay bets will be accepted where individual "selections" are
connected. For example, you cannot parlay the over of the first
half of a football game with the over of the total game, because
the two are 'connected'
Example
Player wants to make a 5 team parlay:
San Diego -7
Chicago +3
St. Louis -4
New England -10
Cincinnati -8
If all these games win then the player would have won at 20-1 odds.
If only 1 team loses then the entire parlay loses.
Parlays are a very exciting way for the sports betting enthusiast
to WIN VERY LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY WITH VERY LIMITED RISK! Just
look at the simple payout chart below to see how much you'll win
by betting just $250 on the parlay combinations.

Teasers
A Teaser is a selection of two or more teams in one wager in which
the point spread is adjusted in your favor. The number of teams
selected and the number of points selected determines the payout
odds. A "Tie" or "No Action" and a "Win" on a two team teaser shall
constitute a "No Action" wager. A "Tie" or a "No Action" and a "Loss"
on a two team teaser shall constitute a "Losing" wager. Ties on
a three or more team teaser shall revert to the next lowest betting
bracket. (Example: A tie on a three team becomes a two team teaser.)

Future Book Wagers
A "futures" wager is a bet placed on an event that is scheduled
to occur at some future date. For instance, prior to the beginning
of the regular season for each major sport, odds will be established
for each team to win their individual division, conference and seasonal
championship.
Another type of "future" wager that has become extremely popular
is the over/under wager for the total number of victories for the
entire season for a given team.
Proposition Bets
(Exotics)
Simply put, Proposition/Exotic Bets may generally be considered
as any wager other than a straight "side" or "over/under" wager.
More specifically, these wagers usually involve specific events
and occurrences that happen throughout any given game. We have listed
some examples for you below.
Props/Exotics will be offered on the more marquee games on the betting
menu. These include, but are not limited to, Sunday and Monday night
NFL games, various NCAA Football games, major Bowl games, and most
Playoff and Championship games. There are also many other miscellaneous
events that Props and Exotics will be offered for.
Examples and Definitions of Common Props/Exotics
*- Which team will be the first to score?
The team that scores first in the game (touchdown, field goal or
other). This bet will be taken off the board for wagering 15 minutes
before the scheduled kickoff time because the coin has been tossed
and the team who will have the first possession of the ball is known.
*- Which team will be the last to score?
The team that scores last in the game (touchdown, field goal or
other, overtime included).
*- Will either team score in the first X minutes and XX seconds
of the game?
*- Will the first score of the game be a touchdown (overtime
included)?
*- Will the longest touchdown be over or under XX yards?
*- Will the shortest touchdown of the game be over or under
XX yards?
*- Will the total field goals made by both teams combined
be over/under X?
*- Will Quarterback X throw an interception?
*- Will the total rushing yards by Running back X be over
or under X?
*- Which team will have the most penalties?
*- Will the total sacks made by both teams combined be over
or under X?
*- Will the total fumbles lost by both teams be over or under
X?
*- Will the total points scored by a team be over or under
X?
Alternate point spread (works
exactly the same as the normal point spread).
