Straight Bets




A straight bet is a single wager on one team (side) to win, or a total to go over or under, whose outcome for wagering purposes is determined by a point spread and/or moneyline odds. Straight bets are used in all sports events.



When making a straight bet on any sport, a tie is a push (when score lands on the exact point spread or total) and consequently, there is no action. That is, the money the player risked is refunded.



Example:
The line is…
Team Point Spread Total
Tampa Bay Buccaneers -4 -110 Over 35
Philadelphia Eagles +4 -110 Under 35
 
The bet is…

Selection Risk/Win
Tampa Bay Buccaneers -4 -110 $110 / $100
