Reverses




Reverses consist of a selection of two (2) to five (5) straight bets joined together into all possible combinations of 2-team if bets that work in both directions of the if clause. The risk is the same for every of the wagers in the reverse and the same rules for if bets apply for reverses. An if bet (double action) follows the sequence “if X wins, ties or cancels then Y”. Placing a reverse bet will include that sequence and its opposite: “if X wins, ties or cancels then Y” AND “if Y wins, ties or cancels then X.”


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.


•Here is a sequence to illustrate a 3-team reverse:

•If X wins, ties or cancels then Y AND If Y wins, ties or cancels then X
•If X wins, ties or cancels then Z AND If Z wins, ties or cancels then X
•If Y wins, ties or cancels then Z AND If Z wins, ties or cancels then Y


Therefore, a 3-team reverse turns into six separate if bets.
