STRAIGHT
BETS
This is a wager where a team and a point spread are
chosen. The cost of the wager is usually (unless otherwise
specified) 10/11 or $110 to win $100.
Example:
Cowboys
-7 (Favorite)
Rams +7 (Underdog)
If
you place a straight wager on the Cowboys at –7
then the Cowboys must win by 8 or more points for you
to win the wager.
If
you place a straight bet on the Rams at +7, they cannot
lose by more than 6 points for you to win the wager.
In
the event of the game landing on 7 points, the game
is a push, resulting in “no action”.
Over/Under
Wagers (Totals)
Example: Falcons
v. Oilers Total: 34
If
a wager is placed on the UNDER (34) the total combined
score of both teams must fall under 34 points to win
the wager.
If
you place a wager on the OVER (34) the combined scores
of both teams must fall over 34 points for you to win
the wager.
In
the event of the total combined scores landing on 34,
the wager is a "push" resulting in "no
action".
