Point Spread Betting
(Straight Wagers)
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 Miami -7 to beat Buffalo +7 If Miami wins by more than
7 points the player wins $100.00 so the total payout including the
initial wager would be $210.00. If Miami only wins by 7 points then
the game is considered "no action" and all money is returned to
the bettor. If the Miami wins by less than 7 points the wagers is
lost.
Totals
(Over/Under)
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 $220.00 on the OVER in the Miami/Buffalo game. The total for
the game is 45. If both teams' combined score is more than 45 than
the player would win $200.00. 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 money line is another
option in those sports for bettors who choose to focus upon
picking winners without regard for the point spread.
What Is the Money Line?
Like the point spread, the money line is used to equal out the
attractiveness of the favorite and the underdog for the typical
bettor. Money line results are decided by an event’s straight-up
winner, without regard to any point spread, since there is no
point spread. Oddsmakers set the money line so that more money
must be risked on the favorite (the expected winner) and less
money on the underdog in an effort to balance the amount of
bettors to both of the sides of the sports event.
Examples: The money line is -200 on New England since they have
a better chance to win the game. That means a bettor would have
to wager $200 to win $100.
In the above example, the minus (-) sign in front of the price
means that the New York Giants are the favorites. The -145 means
that the bettor will win $100 for every $145 bet. If the Giants
win the game, a bettor with a $10 bet gets a return of $16.90 –
the original $10 stake, and $6.90 profit.

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 point spread, a money line,
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:
Miami -7
New York +3
Seattle -4
Denver -10
San Francisco -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)
Propositions are
usually geared by the sportsbooks to the recreational bettor to
increase interest and to give the bettor as many options as
possible for the biggest game of the NFL week.
NFL proposition wagering has become more popular in the last few
years especially NFL Super Bowl proposition wagering. An NFL
proposition is a very specific bet offered by the sportsbook and
is very common on big games in the NFL. NFL Monday night
football, NFL playoffs games, and of
course the Super Bowl, are very popular for proposition
wagering.
Some examples of NFL proposition wagers are: last team to score,
most passing yards by Tom Brady, total number of sacks by both
teams, will any team score three times in a row? Those are a few
examples of NFL proposition wagers that are offered on selected
key games. Monday night football has become a
proposition-betting event in Las Vegas and around the world as
various NFL wagers are available for both teams. Usually the NFL
propositions will have both QB’s included with over-unders on
passing yardage, TD passes, and interceptions
