Pointspread
The pointspread - also called "the line" - is used as a margin to handicap the favorite team. The oddsmaker - also called the handicapper - "gives" points (or goals) to the underdog for betting purposes only. The bettor must take either the favorite or the underdog.

Straight Bet
A straight bet is a bet on the outcome of a single event or game that, for betting purposes only, is determined by a Pointspread, a Moneyline or a Game Total. The team or event wagered on must win by the posted odds. A single bet may be a play on the side to win, the total, or even a proposition or future bet. All single bets must lay 110 to win 100 unless otherwise noted at the time of the wager. Games that end in a tie are no action or push, and the money is refunded. The odds may fluctuate at anytime as they move with the monies wagered. But the money you bet on a team or event at a specified pointspread or game total is the total you receive for your bet.

Over/Under
The Over/Under, sometimes called the "Total", quite simply is the combined scores of both teams competing in the game being wagered on. You can bet whether the game will go over or under this figure. A bet on a matchup between two teams may be set by a money line instead of a pointspread. If a matchup is determined by a money line, like American baseball, then it will cost the customer more to wager on the favorite.

Parlay or Combo
This bet applies to Football, Basketball, Ice Hockey and Baseball. A parlay bet happens when you bet on two or more teams in the same wager in any order. All teams bet on must win in order for you to win. Also, there is no "juice" or commision on this style of bet.

Teasers
This bet applies to Football, Basketball, Ice Hockey and Baseball. A teaser is a selection of two or more teams in one wager in which either the pointspread and/or total is adjusted in the bettor's favor. Each sport has its own range of points for teaser selections. An adjustment to the favorite team will decrease the disadvantage. An adjustment to the underdog will increase the advantage. The adjustment makes pointspreads less for the favorite and more for the underdog, depending on the selections you make. If you select a total, the adjustment makes totals higher-to-go-under or lower-to-go-over.


Pleasers
A pleaser is a group of NFL side straight bets combined into one bet. The difference between a pleaser and a teaser is that with a pleaser the line you bet against for each individual wager is moved against your favor by 6 points. Pleasers are currently only available on NFL regular season side plays. Pleasers will not be taken on NFL totals, NFL preseason, or NCAA football at the current time.

Open Wagers
Open wagers allow the customer to play teasers or parlays making one selection at different times or even different days.

Runline
This bet applies to Baseball. This is a bet to predict which team will score the highest number of runs. This bet is handicapped, with the underdog always given +1.5 points advantage. If the final score, taking into account the handicap, is a tie (known as a Push), the bet is considered void, and your stake is refunded.

Multiplier
A multiplier is offered mostly for soccer matches, and is a European-based line. Like a moneyline, a multiplier is based on true odds rather than fixed odds. The favorite and underdog are given odds to win a match. You will achieve higher winnings from your original wager as the amount to be won equals the original bet multiplied by the product of the odds.

Moneyline
A moneyline is offered when no handicap is given, such as a pointspread or runline, and the odds are not therefore fixed. Payouts are then based on true odds rather than fixed odds. The favorite and underdog are given odds to win a game or fight. The minus sign (e.g.-130) always indicates the favorite and the amount you must bet to win $100. The plus sign (e.g.+120) always indicates the underdog and the amount you win for every $100 bet. Therefore based on the above moneyline, you bet $130 to win $100 on the favorite. For the underdog, you win $120 for every $100 bet.

Buy Points
Buy Points means that you can move the pointspread so that you give away less points with the favorite or get more points with the underdog, for both football and basketball. To do this you must pay more "juice" for every 1ž2 point you buy in your favor. Most sportsbooks charge 10% for every 1/2 point you buy. For the NFL and NCAA football, you will pay an additional amount of "juice" to buy on or off of 3 or 7 points - also know as Key Points. And if you buy through either 3 or 7 points, you will pay an additional amount of "juice." Most sportsbooks charge another 10% for key points. There are NO Key Points for basketball.

Proposition Bet
A "prop bet" is a bet the sportsbook offers at odds and conditions of its choosing. Prop bets can be exotic bets like which team will score the most touchdowns, which team will shoot the most three pointers, which running back will rush for the most yards, etc. Most prop bets are offered at 11-10 odds, but some of the exotics will be offered at better or worse odds, depending on the bet.

Futures
This bet applies to Football, Basketball, Baseball and Ice Hockey. Futures are a single wager on the outcome of an event that will be determined sometime in the future.

Action Points
An Action Point wager allows a player to place a bet on how many points his/her selected team will beat the spread by up to a set cap. You can choose your own cap between 1 and 15 points on Pro-Football games. You choose how much you wish to bet per action point. When you place an action point wager, no money is deducted from your account, but your maximum loss potential is restricted from your account until the game is final. You win the dollar amount wagered for each point the team covers by up to the selected cap. You lose 1.1 x (dollar amount wagered) for each point your team does not cover by up to the selected cap.
