POINTSPREAD
Many online sportsbooks and casinos offer point spread and over /
under betting, both online and over the telephone. On a point spread
wager, the team wagered must win by the point spread. 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, they must win by more
than 10 points for this to be a winning wager. For the player who
wagers on Portland +10, they 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.
Pointspread and Over/Under lines will be offered on all NBA
contests.
All wagers on the side & total will include all overtime scoring
MONEYLINE
Many Las Vegas and web based sportsbooks offer moneyline odds
wagering on American BasketBall, both online and over the telephone.
Moneyline Wagering is simply wagering on the contest based on a
given price rather than a pointspread. The team bet on just, has to
win the game.
Example:
A player could choose one of two wagers on the following matchup:
L.A. Lakers -200 at Portland Trailblazers +180. If the Lakers win,
the player laid $200.00 to win $100.00. If Portland wins, the player
who bet $100.00 wins $180.00.
PROPOSITION
Simply put, Proposition/Exotic Bets may generally be considered as
any wager other than a straight "side" or "over/under" wager. More
specifically, these wagers usually involve specific events and
occurrences that happen throughout any given game. We have listed
some examples for you below. Props/Exotics will be offered on more
marquee games on the betting menu. These include, but are not
limited to, Sunday and Monday night NFL games, various NCAA Football
games, major Bowl games, and many Playoff and Championship
Basketball games. There are also many other miscellaneous events
that Props and Exotics will be offered for.
POINTBUYING
Many Atlantic City sportsbooks and internet casinos offer Point
Buys. This is a method of allowing the bettor to improve the point
spread odds of a Basketball contest by actually "buying points" for
the team he/she wants to wager, side or total. Bettors can buy
points in 1/2 point increments up to 3 points, depending on the
contest. Each 1/2 point costs the bettor an additional 10% vigorish.
