the inning. Then the winner will be determined
by the score at the time the game is called.

throwing at least one pitch.
- Any and all baseball series wagers must have
all 3 games played by the end of a specified date
for the wager to have action. If all 3 games are
not played by that specified date, then all wagers
are "No Action", regardless if one team
has 2 wins.
Soccer (Football)
- The result of the game is decided after
regulation play (90 minutes including injury time).
Overtime, the Golden Goal rule, and penalty kicks
(after regulation play) are not taken into consideration
for soccer bets unless otherwise stipulated.
Golf
- Should a tournament be shortened due to weather
or otherwise affected the official result will
be used when settling, regardless of the number
or rounds played. However, should there be no
further play after a bet is struck that bet will
be void.
- For matchup betting all of the players listed
in the matchup bet offer must tee off for your
bet to have action. The player with the most completed
holes wins. If the players complete the same number
of holes, then the player with the lowest score
wins. For betting purposes, if the players are
still tied then the winner will be deemed the
player who scored the lowest score in the last
round played and so on, until a winner is found.
If both golfers in a matchup are in a playoff
a) winner of play-off wins the matchup and b)
all other playoff participants tie each
other
- Single day matchups are wagers on the particular

a day's round be shortened, or otherwise affected
due to weather conditions, and the round is continued
the next day, the full 18 holes will be considered
in determining the outcome of the bet (even if
they are played over two days). If both members

end the 18 holes in a tie, the bet is considered
a "No Action" wager.

if the player does not take part in the game or
comes on after a try has already been scored.

of playing surface, (ii) a change of venue or
(iii) a change from indoor court to outdoor court
or vice versa.
Boxing

of said round. The official stopping of a round
before the sounding of the bell does not constitute
a full round. If the fight ends in a 12 round

Wager Definitions and Rules:
Straight Wagers
The team wagered on must win by the point
spread given at the time of the wager.
The odds are $1.10 to win $1.00 (-110) unless
otherwise indicated. Games that tie are considered
"no action" and money is re-deposited
back into your account. Due to changing events,
the point spread may fluctuate at any time.
Example
Player wagers $110.00 on Miami -7 to beat Buffalo
+7
If Miami wins by more than 7 points the player
wins $100.00 so the total payout including the
initial wager would be $210.00. If Miami only
wins by 7 points then the game is considered "no
action" and all money is returned to the
bettor. If the Miami wins by less than 7 points
the wagers is lost.
Totals
The combined score of both teams for games
wagered on, all totals lay $1.10 to win $1.00
(-110) unless it is otherwise indicated.
Example
The player lays $220.00 on the OVER in the Miami/Buffalo
game. The total for the game is 45. If both teams'
combined score is more than 45 than the player
would win $200.00. If the combined score is equal
45 the game is considered "no action"
and the money is returned. If the combined score
is less than 45 then the wager is lost.
Money Line Wagers
The team wagered on just has to win the game.
The amount you lay or take for each game may vary.
The money line that is read to at the time of
your wager is the money line you keep regardless
of any line movement.
Example
The player wagers on Miami -160 at Buffalo +260.
If Miami wins then the player who laid $160.00
wins $100.00. If the player bet on Buffalo then
the player who laid $100.00 wins $260.00
Halftime
All wagers must go the full half for action
(first half and second half). All halftime wagers
are calculated the same as a straight wager unless
otherwise indicated. There are no teaser plays
or buying of points on halftimes. On half time
wagers, overtime periods are included as part
of the 2nd half.
Parlays (also known as Multiples)
This is a bet of 2 or more teams (selections)
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. In the case of a 2-team parlay, it
will revert down to a straight wager.
No parlay bets will be accepted where individual
"selections" are connected. For example,
one leg of a parlay is for Sampras to beat Henman
in the 4th round of Wimbledon and the second or
additional part of the parlay is for Sampras to
win the overall Wimbledon title. The match forms
part of the overall tournament and is therefore
'connected'. In the same way, you cannot parlay
the over of the first half of a football game
with the over of the total game, because the two
are 'connected'.
Parlays that include moneylines or European prices
(decimal format) are paid out based on the odds
of each individual selection. The payout table
shown below is only valid if all selections within
the parlay are based on the standard line of -110
($1.10 to win $1.00) used for point spreads and
totals.
Example
Player wants to make a 5 team parlay:
Miami -7 New York +3 Seattle -4 Denver -10 San
Francisco -8
If all these games win then the player would
have won at 20-1 odds.
If only 1 team loses then the entire parlay loses.

Teasers
A Teaser is a selection of two or more teams
in one wager in which the point spread is adjusted
in your favor. The number of teams selected and
the number of points selected determines the payout
odds. A "Tie" or "No Action"
and a "Win" on a two team teaser shall
constitute a "No Action" wager. A "Tie"
or a "No Action" and a "Loss"
on a two team teaser shall constitute a "Losing"
wager. Ties on a three or more team teaser shall
revert to the next lowest betting bracket. (Example:
A tie on a three team becomes a two team teaser.)

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. Odds change daily and all wagers are
considered action for the odds quoted at the time
of the wager.
In the event that the selection (person, team,
or other) a customer bets upon does not participate
in the game/event due to injury, etc., there will
be no refunds.
European Prices (Odds)
European prices are different from the North
American style of odds. In North America, money
lines are used to determine the line.
In North America, a team that is +140 would be
a 40 point underdog. This means that for every
$100 wagered the bettor would win $140. For this
to be true in a European style of betting, the
odds would be 2.40-- meaning that for $100 wagered
the bettor would win $140. The 2.40 represents
the entire amount wagered and won by the bettor.
