BASKETBALL RULES

The types of Wagers & Payoffs

TEAMS SPREAD TOTAL
Knicks -198
Twolves -3½

Straight Wagering

Wagering on the total points on the game:

To win on the "over", the total score for each team will be added together and it must exceed 198 points. When betting the "under", the total score for each team is added together and cannot exceed 197 points to win the wager, if the total score adds up to exactly 198 points, the wager is called a "push" and the money is credited to your account.

Money line Wagering

TEAMS MONEY LINES
Knicks +140
T'Wolves -190

When wagering on the money lines, you must win the game on court in order to win the bet. Wagering on MINN T'WOLVES $-190, the point spread does not matter. You must risk $190 to win $100. Wagering on NY KNICKS $+140, you stake $100 to win $140.

Future Wagers

Future wagers, such as win any championship or the divisional winners, will be graded as soon as the season is over.

Special Teasers

3 team Sp 7 pts 12/10
4 team Sp 9 pts 13/10

A tie + loss = Loss
A tie + win = Push

In case of no action or a tie in a Vegas Teaser it reverts to a lower number i.e. a 4 team teaser with one tie and three wins will revert to a three team teaser with its corresponding pay-out. The exception will be the two team teaser in the event of a win and a tie it will be graded as a push. Any loss will make your teaser a loser.

In a 3 team or 4 team special teaser any combination of ties and wins is a tie. But a tie and a loss is a loser.

Buying Points

Points can be bought in basketball for the complete game only. They can be bought on the sides and the totals. The following table shows how much it cost to buy points. When you buy points the spread will change to your advantage but will increase the amount you have to risk in order to win the bet. If the line on the Bucks is -3.5 -110 and you buy 2 points the new line will be Bucks -2 -150.
