Overview of Sports Wagering
Sports betting is a game of skill. The challenge is to gather and analyze as much information as you can about a game, weigh the probabilities of each team winning, and subsequently compare your opinion to the oddsmaker's. Make the right judgment and you win. It's as simple as that. While luck may be a deciding factor in the outcome of any single game, and will inevitably go against you on occasion, it will balance out in the long run. Being a consistent winner in sports betting is not about luck but whether you are prepared to invest the time and effort to become knowledgeable about the sports you bet on, whether you can weigh all the factors in a cool, objective fashion, and whether you adopt a consistent, disciplined, long-term approach to your betting. Do all these and you will come out a winner. Remember, it's you against the oddsmaker, not the bookmaker.
The bookmaker is simply a middle-man who operates on a small profit margin and, ideally, likes to see half the money wagered on one team and half on the other, assuring him of a profit. If too much of the money goes on one team, the bookmaker will move the line or pointspread to encourage bets on the other team in an effort to balance his book. The person you are attempting to beat is the oddsmaker and his views on each team's chances. Just by flipping a coin you will be right 50 percent of the time. At odds of 10/11 only 52.4 percent of your bets have to win for you to overcome the bookmaker's profit and break even, so you only need a very small edge to become a winner. Do your homework, bet selectively and 55 percent winning bets is definitely achievable and 60-65 percent is a realistic target. At those levels you will have an extremely profitable, as well as enjoyable, hobby.

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.)

Parlays: A parlay is the selection of 2 or more teams (up to 10) in no particular order in a single wager. All teams in the parlay must win, if there is a tie it reverts to the next lowest number for payoff. (Example: If you select 4 teams and one ties, it becomes a three team parlay). Tie and win on two team becomes straight bet (90% of wager) Parlay Payoffs/Odds for

For example, in a 4 team progressive parlay, 2 wins, 1 tie and 1 loss is a losing wager because there are only 2 wins and not 3.

Placing Wagers
There are different ways to place wagers within the different sports, both individually and geographically. North American betting is differerent from wagering on European sports while betting on a hockey game is different from betting on a basketball game. Here is a basic outline for betting on all sports types:
First choose the sport you wish to bet on. Click on the pull-down menu that contains the words "Select A Bet Type" to choose which kind of wager you want to place. Then select how much you wish to wager by entering it into the wager box beside the pull-down menu. Now scroll through the available games and choose which team or teams you wish to bet on. To choose a team click on the small box beside the line and you will have chosen that team. If you are making a combination bet, known as a parlay or teaser, you must choose as many teams as is necessary to complete the multiple team wager. This is determined by the type of bet you choose.
After you are sure of your selection, go to the top and click on the "Place Bet" button. This will now place your wager on the right side of the screen, which is your betting ticket. If you try to place a wager and a red bar comes up on your betting ticket you have made a mistake in selecting your bet. Read the message in the red bar and it will inform you of the error and give you appropriate instructions to correct the mistake.
Before you submit your betting ticket please make sure to reload or refresh your page so you can see the most current lines. The lines can change often and quickly, so make sure the lines are where you want them before you submit your betting ticket. If you find that one or more of the wagers on your betting ticket is not what you want, simply click the "Cancel" or "Cancel All" button and the wagers will be dropped from your betting ticket. Once completely satisfied with the wager you have made, go to the bottom of the betting ticket and type the word "Yes" in the confirmation box and then click on the "Submit" button. Your wager will now be submitted. A confimation notice will appear and you can view your wagers in the "Pending Wagers" section.

Confirming Wagers
After Placing a Wager, the bet will appear in the window on the right hand side of the screen. At this point, your bet has Not completed nor accepted. You must go to the bottom of the betting ticket and type the word "Yes" in the confirmation box and then click on the "Submit" button. Your wager will now be submitted. A confimation notice will appear and you can view your wagers in the "Pending Wagers" section.
You will see your bet confirmation number listed in the red area at the top of the confirmation screen. If you do not get a bet confirmation number, then your bet has not been accepted. We suggest that you check your pending wagers screen once you have completed placing all your wagers. If your bet is not listed in the pending wagers screen, then you were not successful in placing that wager and you must try again.

Betting Terms
Straight Bets: The team wagered on must win by the point spread given at the time of the wager. For straight wagers, unless otherwise indicated, the odds are $1.10 to win $1.00. 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 intial 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 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 concidered "no action" and the mone y 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 would lay $160.00 to win $100.00. If the player bet on Buffalo then the player would lay $100.00 to win $260.00
Halftime The wager is placed on the odds posted for the second half of a game only. All wagers must go the full second half for action. 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. First half lines are also available.
Parlays This is a selection of 2 or more teams (up to 10 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.
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.
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.

Circled Game: A game where the maximum bet is restricted, usually due to injuries.
Lines: Another word for odds.
Pick: A game where no team or betting option is favorite.
Pointspread: The handicap, or head start, which the favorite gives to the underdog for betting purposes.
Push: A game which, with the pointspread, is tied or when the combined scores of the two teams ties the total.
Single: A bet on a single result or outcome.
Spread: An abbreviated form of pointspread.

European Odds
All European football lines are quoted using European odds. European odds are different from the North American style of odds. In North America money lines are used to determine the line. European odds are very simple to understand. Let's say the team you want to bet is on offer at 4.00.
That means that for every $1 you bet on them, you get back $4 if they win. That means you have a profit of $3 plus your $1 stake returned. If you lose, you lose your $1.
If the team is at 1.60, you only make $0.60 profit on your $1 stake and you get your $1 stake back.
European & American Odds Converter European OddsDecimal Format American OddsMoney Line Format
Some bettors are used to the American system of betting. This is where odds are expressed as -180 or +300. If you place a bet at -180, it means that you need to bet $180 to win $100. That is the same as 1.55 in European betting. And a bet at +300 means that you win $300 for every $100 you bet - the same as 4.00 in European odds.
Combination Bets (parlays)
A Combination bet involves several different propositions. The customer must correctly choose all the propositions to win. The customer can combine a minimum of 2 propositions and a maximum of 12.
Calculating combination odds using european odds is very simple. You simply take the price of each event that you wagered on and multiply them together.
For example, let's say you wish to wager on Arsenal at 2.5, Manchester at 1.7 and Liverpool at 2.1. A combination bet of all three teams would pay 2.5 x 1.7 x 2.1 = 8.93. If you wager amount is $100 then the payoff would be $100 x 8.93 = $893 (this includes your originial stake, so your winnings are 893 -100 = 793)
