Betting on Basketball
Basketball Betting | Straight Bet
This wager is made when you choose a team and the point spread. The cost of the
wager is 10/11 or $110 to win $100.
Example:
Toronto Raptors +6
Chicago Bulls -6
• If the straight bet is on the Bulls -6 then at 6 points push 7 or more win.
• If the straight bet is on the Raptors +6 then at 6 points push 5 or less win.
• If the game lands on 6 pts. then the game is a "push" and will result in “no action”
Example:
Toronto Raptors +6
Chicago Bulls -6
• If the straight bet is on the Bulls -6 then at 6 points push 7 or more win.
• If the straight bet is on the Raptors +6 then at 6 points push 5 or less win.
• If the game lands on 6 pts. then the game is a "push" and will result in “no action”
Basketball Betting | Totals
(Over/Under)
This is a wager on the combined scores (total) of a game. That being over or
under the posted line. The cost of the wager is 10/11.
Example:
Dallas Mavericks
Indiana Pacers
TOTAL IS 178
• If you place a wager for UNDER 178, the combined total score of both teams must fall UNDER 178 pts.
• If you place a wager for OVER 178, the combined total score of both teams must go OVER 178 pts.
• If the combined total score falls on 178 pts. the wager is a "PUSH" and there is "NO ACTION".
Example:
Dallas Mavericks
Indiana Pacers
TOTAL IS 178
• If you place a wager for UNDER 178, the combined total score of both teams must fall UNDER 178 pts.
• If you place a wager for OVER 178, the combined total score of both teams must go OVER 178 pts.
• If the combined total score falls on 178 pts. the wager is a "PUSH" and there is "NO ACTION".
Basketball Betting | Money Line
With this type of bet you wager which team is going to win. Disregarding the
point spread.
Example:
Orlando Magic -280
Houston Rockets +240
• If you wager on Orlando -280 you lay $280 to win $100.
• If you wager on Houston +240 you lay $100 to win $240.
Example:
Orlando Magic -280
Houston Rockets +240
• If you wager on Orlando -280 you lay $280 to win $100.
• If you wager on Houston +240 you lay $100 to win $240.
Basketball Betting | Parlay
This play is a selection of teams in no particular order, in one play. All
teams must win by the pointspread margin. The more amount of teams, the greater
the payoff.
Example:
2 team parlay for $100
Portland Trail Blazers +4
San Antonio Spurs -10
• The payout in a 2 team parlay is 13/5 this means you are risking $100 to win $260. In case of a tie or no action the parlay will revert to the lower level payoff, except in a 2 team parlay where a tie reverts to a straight bet.
Example:
2 team parlay for $100
Portland Trail Blazers +4
San Antonio Spurs -10
• The payout in a 2 team parlay is 13/5 this means you are risking $100 to win $260. In case of a tie or no action the parlay will revert to the lower level payoff, except in a 2 team parlay where a tie reverts to a straight bet.
Basketball Betting | Teaser
This is a bet in which 2 to 7 teams are selected together in one wager with an
adjusted point spread. In a teaser you can add points to the sides or mix both
sides and totals adding or subtracting to the totals. If one selection loses,
the teaser is considered a loss.
Example:
2 team teaser 5pts for $100
Lakers +4+5 pts = the teased line is now +9
Knicks -3+5 pts = the teased line is now +2
• The payout in a 2 team teaser for 5 pts. is 110/100 In this case you will lay $130 to win $100.
Example:
2 team teaser 5pts for $100
Lakers +4+5 pts = the teased line is now +9
Knicks -3+5 pts = the teased line is now +2
• The payout in a 2 team teaser for 5 pts. is 110/100 In this case you will lay $130 to win $100.
