BOXING RULES

Boxing Lines on All Major Title Fights

Straight money line betting as well as total rounds and proposition bets. A betting match is official after the sound of the bell that starts the 1st round.

Example:

  • 4 1/2 rounds means four full rounds plus ninety seconds of the fifth round.
  • All results are official by the result of the governing body on the day of the fight.
  • If a price is offered for a draw: in the event of a draw all bets on either boxer to win will be losers.
  • In round by round betting: if a boxer fails to answer the bell, the fight will be deemed to have ended in the previous round.
  • If the scheduled number of rounds is changed all "Pick the round" bets are void and bets refunded.
  • All bets on either boxer to win will be decided by judges' decision, which includes points, Technical knockout (TKO), Knockout (KO) or disqualification.
  • Where a match is abandoned or postponed, but fought within 14 days of the original scheduled date, all bets stand. Once the 14 days have expired, all bets are void and a new line will be posted to pager on.

Straight bet

Straight bets are made when you choose a team and the point spread. The cost of the bet is 10/11 or $110 to win $100.

Example:

Toronto Raptors +6

Chicago Bulls -6

  • If the straight bet is on the Bulls -6 then the Bulls must win by more than 6 points for the bet to win.
  • If the straight bet is on the Raptors +6 then the Raptors cannot lose by more than 5 points for the bet to win.
  • If the game lands on 6 pts. then your bet is a 'push' and will result in 'no action'. i.e: Final Score: Rap 90 and Bulls 96

 

Teaser bet

Teaser bet is a wager in which 2 to 8 teams are selected together in one wager with an adjusted point spread. In a teaser bet, you can add points to the sides or mix both sides and totals adding or subtracting to the totals. If one selection loses the teaser is considered a loss.

EXAMPLE: 2 TEAM TEASER 5PTS FOR $100

Cavaliers +4+5 pts = the teased line is now +9

Celtics -3+5 pts = the teased line is now +2

    The payout in a 2 team 5 pts. basketball regular teaser is 10/13. In this case, you will lay $130 to win $100.

PUSHES:

In the event that any of the teaser selection pushes or ties the following rules apply:

Special Teasers: Any Tie is considered a Loss

2 Team Teasers: Tie + Win = Push, Tie + Loss = Loss

More than 2 team teasers: a tie reverts the teaser to the next lower level

Example: 4 team teaser with 1 tie reverts to a 3 team teaser

On our special 3 teams 10 point football or 7 point basketball teaser bet (sometimes known as Sweetheart teasers), odds are -120 (5/6) and ties lose.  Only point spreads of the same sport may be placed in these special teasers.  If a selection has no-action due to postponement or cancellation, the whole sweetheart teaser will have no-action.

 

Parlays

Two or more teams or totals can be combined to make one wager. Circled games cannot be parlayed. Proposition plays, and future bets cannot be parlayed.

You may estimate Parlay Payoffs by the following steps (example provided):

Let's say you play the Pirates +150 and the Pirate game over 8 -120 in a two-team parlay and you bet $100. Use the following steps to determine your winnings.

    Calculate Parlay Factor for each piece: if the price of the piece is positive - simply add one to get factor, if the price of the piece is negative v calculate reciprocal, multiply by -1, and then add one.
    1.50 + 1 = 2.50
    -1.20 (take reciprocal or divide one by the negative price) 1/1.20 = 0.83 + 1 = 1.83
    Multiply all factors - then multiply this factor times the bet amount - the result is the payoff (including your bet).
    2.50 x 1.83 = 4.57 (now multiply this times your bet) x 100 = 457
    $457 is your total return if both pieces win (including your bet amount).
    Subtract your bet from the figure calculated in 2 - The result is your winnings.
    457 - 100 = 357 Winnings

This will also work for three, four, five,... team parlays, simply follow the steps. Note: This will provide you with a rough estimate; actual winnings may differ due to rounding.

In case of a tie or no action, the parlay will revert to lower level payoff, except in a 2 team parlay where a tie reverts to a straight bet.

If bets allow our members to make a second wager pending a win on the first selection. "If win bets" must be made on one call.

EXAMPLE:

Dallas Cowboys -5 $110 to win $100

IF (if win, tie, or cancel)

Carolina Panthers +4 $110 to win $100

  • If the Cowboys lose, the wager stops there and is scored a loser -$110.
  • if the Cowboys win +$100 the wager continues to the Panthers wager.
  • if the Panthers win, the wager is a $200 winner.
  • if the Panthers lose the wager is a $10 loss.

 

Action Reverse Bet

Action Reverse Bets are essentially double-action If Bets. The total amount risked by a win reverse bet will the amount of each straight bet.

Only Action Reverse bets are accepted, and it is only possible to do combinations of 2 team if bets, no OPEN spots allowed, same if bet rules apply.

ACTION REVERSE / WIN REVERSE EXAMPLE:

Part A:

Cowboys -5 $110 to win $100

IF (if win, tie, or cancel)

Dolphins -14 $110 to win $100

Part B:

Dolphins -14 $110 to win $100

IF (if win, tie, or cancel)

Cowboys -5 $110 to win $100

  • If both teams win +400
  • One win, one loss -120
  • Both teams lose -220
  • One win, one Push +200
