Specific Betting
Rules By Sport
Standard (To Win) bet / single event bet
This is the basic bet on the outcome of a game or match, i.e. A to win
or B to win. When a price is given for the draw, this is also a valid
bet.

Proposition (Speciality) bets
These are bets on particular occurrences with a game. These are known
as Speciality bets outside the US.

Correct Score
This is a bet to predict the final score in a game, and is based on the
number of goals scored by each team (soccer), or the number of sets won
by each player (tennis).
back to top
Double Result
This is a bet on who will be winning at half time and at full time. It
is one bet, predicting the outcome of both halves of the game, and both
predictions must be correct to win. A draw is a valid outcome for both
halves. There are nine possible outcomes (where H = home team, A = away
team, D = draw):
H-H, H-D, H-A, D-H, D-D, D-A, A-H, A-D, A-A
back to top
First/Last Goal Scorer
This is a bet on who will score the first or last goal in a match.
back to top
Match Bet
This is a bet between two people, to predict who will get the best score
in a tournament. The players may not physically play against each other
in any round; this bet is based purely on their individual scores over
the whole tournament (i.e. 72 holes).
back to top
3 Ball Bet
This is a bet on a single round of golf between three players, to predict
which of the three players will win a specific round (i.e. 18 holes).
There is no draw option. This bet is usually available only during the
first or second round of the tournament, and Dead Heat rules apply.
back to top
2 Ball Bet
This is a bet on a single round of golf between two players, to predict
which of the two players will win a specific round (i.e. 18 holes). The
draw is a valid bet. This bet is usually available only during the third
or fourth round of the tournament.
back to top
Future (Tournament) bets
In a Tournament, a number of participants are all competing to come first
and therefore win the Tournament. Competitions, leagues, races and championships
are also classed as Tournaments. Outside the US, Futures are known as
Tournament bets.
back to top
To Win bet
It is a bet to predict who will come first (in a race, a league, a competition
etc), and applies to all sports.
back to top
Multiple bets
In a Multiple bet you can combine several different predictions, all of
which must be correct for the Multiple to win. You can mix different sports
in a Multiple bet.
The minimum number of selections in a Multiple is two; the maximum number
is eight. In the event of one selection becoming void, the bet drops down
to the next level, e.g. a three-team Multiple would drop to a two-team
Multiple; a two-team Multiple would drop to a single bet.

Side
A bet on the Side is a bet to predict who will win the game, and is usually
handicapped. The handicap is known as the Spread. The underdog will be
given a head start of a particular number of points, and the favourite
will be handicapped by the same number of points. If the favourite has
a handicap of -2.5, for example, it must to beat the underdog by three
or more points to still win the bet. If the final score, taking into account
the Spread, is a tie (known as a Push), the bet is considered void, and
your stake is refunded.
Baseball Side bets do not have a Spread attached to them. They are linked
to the selection of one or both starting pitchers.
back to top
Total
This is a bet to predict whether the combined score of both teams will
go either over or under the total figure nominated by the odds maker.
If the combined final score falls on the total specified, it is classed
as a Push, in which case the bet is considered void, and your stake is
refunded.
back to top
Moneyline
This is a bet to predict who will win the event outright, i.e. without
a Spread. This bet is less popular than betting on the Side, because the
price for the Side is usually better value. If the final score is a tie
(known as a Push), the bet is considered void, and your stake is refunded.
back to top
Runline
This is a bet to predict which team will score the highest number of runs.
This bet is handicapped, with the underdog always given +1.5 points advantage.
If the final score, taking into account the handicap, is a tie (known
as a Push), the bet is considered void, and your stake is refunded.
back to top
Parlays
In a Parlay you combine several different predictions (in one sport or
across other sports), all of which must be correct for the Parlay to win.
The minimum number of selections in a Parlay is two; the maximum number
six or ten, depending on the sports you choose. In the event of one selection
becoming void or pushing, the bet drops down to the next level, e.g. a
three-team Parlay would drop to a two-team Parlay; a two-team Parlay would
drop to a single bet.
back to top
Teasers
A teaser is a special type of parlay in which you adjust the point spread
or total of each individual play in your favor. The price of moving the
point spread (teasing) is lower pay off odds for winning wagers.
back to top
Pleasers
A Pleaser is a special type of parlay that pays better odds than a standard
parlay for moving the point spread or total against your favor. Essentially
you make it more difficult for each wager in the Pleaser to win in return
for payoff odds nearly 3 times higher than normal parlay odds. This is
the exact opposite of a Teaser. In order to win, all the bets in the Pleaser
must win by the new adjusted line. This bet is an excellent way to maximize
winnings in games where the lines do not accurately predict the true outcome.
