NFL
Win Bet
A win bet is simply betting on one team to beat the other team in an event. You’ll need to risk a bit of money on win bets, but there the best bets for beginners. There are also other bets that you can place such as point totals and parlays which will be explained later.
Seattle $1.65
Arizona $2.15
The Line
When you bet on the point spread you need to choose whether or not the team will win by a certain amount of points. If a team is favourite by -11.5 then you need to choose whether or not the team will win by 12 points. If you think they will, then you’d choose that team (Seattle) and if you think they won’t, then you’d choose the other team known as the underdog (Arizona).
Seattle (-11.5) $1.90
Arizona (+11.5) $1.80
Over/ Under Points
In American Football you can bet on the total points scored in the game by choosing under or over a predetermined amount. In the NFL for instance, a typical point total for a game is 38.5 points so you need to choose whether the game will have 38 runs or less. Based on your decision you’d bet on the over or under on that game.
Over 38.5 Runs $1.85
Under 38.5 Runs $1.85
Parlays:
This is a selection of two or more teams (up to six teams) or propositions in no particular order. All teams wagered on in a parlay must win. If there is a tie, it reverts down to the next lowest number for payoff
If a Player makes a 5 team parlay as follows:
Miami (-7.5) New York (+3.5) Seattle (-11.5) Denver (-10.5) San Francisco (-8.5)
If all these games win then the player would have won at odds of around $21. However if one team loses then the entire parlay loses.
Halftime:
The wager is placed on the odds posted for either the first or second half of a game only. All wagers must go for the entirety of the half’s action. All halftime wagers are calculated the same as a straight wager unless otherwise indicated.
Futures and Propositions:
Future wagers are based on the outcome of events that happen each year. All wagers are final. There will be no payouts until the conclusion of the specified season. Proposition plays are wagers based on the outcome of events that happen each year. Odds change daily and all wagers are considered action at the odds quoted at the time of the wager.
