Basketball Rules

We offer first half, half time, and moneylines on most NBA games. We offer first half, half time, and moneylines on most nationally televised NCAA basketball games.

Straight Wagering on the Side

Team A is -6 against team B. This means team A must win by at least 7 points to win the bet. If team A wins by exactly 6 then the wager is a push (no action). The juice is 10% on all straight wagers meaning you risk $110 for every $100 you wish to wager.

Straight Wagering on the Total

The total is determined by adding both teams’ scores together including overtime. If the total in a basketball game is 192 and you play OVER 192 then both teams must combine to score at least 193 points for the player to win the bet. If the combined score totals 192 exactly, the bet is a push.

Wagers on a Moneyline

To win a moneyline wager, the team does not have to cover the spread. Winning on the playing field by any margin constitutes a win. If team A is -240, team B is +190. The player would risk $240 to win $100 on Team A and risk $100 to win $190 on Team B. In the event of a tie the play is ruled as a push (no action).

Futures

Future bets are available on the total number of wins for the regular season, odds to win the Eastern Division, odds to when the Western Division, and odds to win the NBA championship. In all future bets the win will be credited the final day of regular season action.

If Bets

If Bets consist of 2 to 5 straight bets joined together by an IF CLAUSE. If the customer's first selection complies with the condition, then the second selection will be processed; if the second selection complies with the condition, then his third selection will be processed and so on. Only full games for football, basketball and baseball are allowed to be used on if bets. Neither hockey nor any other sport is allowed. Each condition will depend on the type of If Bet. We offer 2 types which are single action and double action. In single action, the bet will go if wins only. In double action, the bet will go if wins, ties or cancels. As soon as one selection loses the bet will stop there. Please be advised that on each straight bet made in the If Bet, the amount has to be the same or less than the previous one. How do you recognize the amount? When the juice is + (positive) the amount goes to the lay. When the juice is - (negative or minus) the amount goes to the win.

Revers

A reverse is 2 If Bets with the same 2 teams. If team A wins, then team B; if team B wins, then team A. When grading a reverse: 2 wins on a $100 wager is a $400 winner; 1 win and 1 loss is a $120 loser; 2 losses is a $220 loser; 1 win and 1 push (tie) is a $200 winner.

Parlays

A parlay is a wager combining two or more teams with the regular spread. Parlays give the player a payoff advantage. If desired, a player can call in a parlay and/or a teaser with an open spot. For example, if a player wants a 3-team parlay but only has selected 2 games that day he can ask for an open spot on the 3 game. If the two selections win, the player can call the next day to fill in the open spot.

Teasers

Teasers are a type of wager where you are permitted to move the point spread a specific number of points while laying added juice for your advantage. If any selection is a loss, the wager is graded as a loss. If the player has an open spot and the first selection is a push, the player must fill in the open spot. 1 push and 1 win is no action, 1 push and 1 loss is a loss. All open plays must be filled within 1 week from the original date the play was made. Failure to fill in your teaser in time will result in a loss for that play.
