Basketball Online Betting Point Spread And Total
On a pointspread wager, the team wagered must win by the pointspread. On an over/under wager, the total points of the contest by both teams, overtime included, must fall over or under the side selected.
Example
The posted line is the L.A. Lakers -10 at Portland Trailblazers +10 and the over/under total is 189.
The odds are $1.10 to win $1.00 (-110) unless otherwise indicated.
For the player who wagers on the Lakers -10, the team must win by more than 10 points for this to be a winning wager. For the player who wagers on Portland +10, the team must either win the game, or lose by less than 10 points for this to be a winning wager. If the outcome falls on the number, either way, the bet is declared a "Push", and the original stake is refunded.
For the player who wagers on the total points of this contest by both teams to be "Over" 189, the combined final score of both teams must exceed 189. For the player who wagers on the total points of this contest by both teams to be "Under" 189, the combined final score of both teams must be less than 189. If the outcome falls on the number, the bet is declared a "Push", and the original stake is refunded.
Teasers
A teaser can only be played in football and basketball. The teaser is 1 wager consisting of 2 or more propositions in which you are allowed to adjust the point spread in your favor. If there is ANY loss in a teaser, the entire teaser results in a loss!! Otherwise, if the teaser contains a push, no action, or tie, the teaser will revert to the next amount of teams, paying the odds of the new teaser. In the case of a two-team teaser, if there is a push, no action, or tie, the wager will be refunded.
Parlays
A parlay is a single bet that links together anywhere from 2 to 15 individual plays. The parlay can be comprised of a series of bets on a team, over/under bets, or any mixture of the two. For the parlay to be a winning wager, every one of its individual plays must win. If any of the individual plays is not a winner, then the entire parlay wager loses.
