Game Props:

In the event that a game ends as a tie in NFL, bets on Margin of Victory and Double Result will be settled as a loss. Note that this is an extremely rare occurrence.

Most football props are straightforward. Examples of regularly featured basic props are listed below:

• Total points scored by the home team
• Total points scored by the visiting team
• First team to score
• Last team to score
• Will the last team to score win the game?
• Will there be a score in the last two minutes of the first half?
• Will there be a score in the first six and a half minutes of the game?
• Which team will have the longest touchdown?
• Will there be a successful two-point conversion?
• Will there be a safety?
• Which half will have the highest point score?
• Which quarter will have the highest point score?

However, some prop bets are a little more complex:

'What will the first scoring play of the game be?' In this prop bet you will see the following list of possibilities:

• Field Goal
• Safety
• Touchdown Pass
• Touchdown Run
• Any Other Touchdown

If you choose the 'Any Other Touchdown' option then you are picking a touchdown not already mentioned in the list of options. Passing/Running Touchdowns, Safeties or Fieldgoals would not count as they are on the list.

General Sport Betting Rules Against

'Will there be a defensive or special teams touchdown?' In this prop 'defensive touchdown' refers to interceptions, fumble returns or offensive drives. A 'special teams touchdown' refers to punt returns and kick returns.

'Will either team score 3 straight times without other team scoring?' In this prop you are betting on either team scoring 3 consecutive times during the game. Only touchdowns, field goals or safeties are included. Any PATs (point after touchdown or 2 point conversions) are not included.

'Distance of the FIRST punt of the game' (must be an official punt)(no punt-no-action)
'Total punts by BOTH teams' (must be an official punt) In these props, official punt is defined as follows:

• Official Punt: The punting team punts (for example, 40 yards) and no penalties occur.
• Un-official Punt: The punting team punts (for example, 40 yards) and the punting or receiving team incurs a penalty (which is accepted) during that play.

'Distance of 1st Gross Punt' In props stating 'Gross Punt', this is defined as follows:

• 'Gross Yards' is the total official yardage of the punt.
• 'Net Yards' would take return yardage into consideration.

'Net punting average' In props relating to the Net punting average, this is calculated as follows:

• Net punting average = Gross punting yards, minus return yards, minus 20 yards for every touchback, divided by total punts).

Special Football Season Win Rules

‘NFL Season Win Totals’ only include regular season games and all 16 regular season games must be played for action. Play-off games and pre-season games do not count for this bet offering.

‘NCAAF Season Win Totals’ only include regular season games. Each team must play their scheduled 12 regular season games. Championship games and Bowl games do not count for this bet offering. Teams must play all scheduled opponents.

NBA Playoffs, Exact Games, Series Prop

All NBA Playoff series consist of 7 games. For the Exact Games prop bet, the lines would look something like this:

If you choose, for example, 5 Games Heat Win +300, you are betting on how many games it will take the Heat to win the series (and NOT how many games in a row they will win).

The price, +300 (3-1 in fractional odds or 4.00 in decimal odds) tells you how much you can win.

The numbers in brackets in the bet's header indicates the number of games to be played in each home team court. For example: Mavs vs Heat – exact Games – 7 games Series (2-3-2) indicates 2 games in the Mavs home court, 3 games in the Heat home court and 2 in the Mavs home court for a total of 7 games.

The 'All Bets Action' clause in the header of this particular Exact Games prop bet means that:

• If any game in the series is shortened for any reason but one team is still deemed the winner, all bets will remain action or,
• If a game starts but gets suspended (for whatever reason) with no winner declared and must be replayed later, then all bets remain action.

These would be extremely rare scenarios.

'NBA Season Win Totals' only include regular season games and all 82 regular season games must be played for action. Play-off games and pre-season games do not count for this bet offering.

Note: In the event of a date change all Playoff bets will remain action.

“In College Basketball, we have a new rule that stipulates “Wherever Games are Played”. This rule is for College Basketball only and for this Season only, or until further notice.”

NBA/NCAA Player Props

Please note that all Players Must Play unless otherwise stated

Major League Baseball Rules

Major League Baseball games are considered official after 5 innings of play, or 4 1/2 innings if the home team is leading. If a game is subsequently called or suspended, the winner is determined by the score after the last full inning unless the home team ties the score or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning in which the game was suspended. In that case the winner will be determined by the score at the time the game is called. (This rule holds for betting purposes even if the game is suspended and /or completed on a different day than it began).

7 Inning Games

In the case of games scheduled as 7 innings (as introduced in the shortened 2021 MLB season) the game must complete 7 innings, or 6 1/2 innings if the home team is leading, otherwise wagers on Totals, Run Lines or Propositions and Live betting will constitute a 'no-action' wager”.

Pitching Options

When you place a money line wager on game lines where starting pitchers are listed, you can choose whether or not you would like your bet to have action in the event of a pitching change. The options are:

• Listed: both listed pitchers must start.
• Selected: the pitcher for the team on which you are betting must start.
• Opposing: the pitcher for the opposing team must start.
• Action: your bet will have action regardless of pitcher changes.

Note: If there is a pitching change and you have selected to keep action on the wager, the odds of your bet will be adjusted to the odds as they stand when the game begins.

All other baseball wagers where starting pitchers are listed will be accepted as ‘Listed.’ In the event of a pitching change prior to the game, all wagers on the game with said listed pitchers are considered ‘no-action’. All wagers will be refunded to members’ accounts as soon as official confirmation is received allowing you to make the bet again with the new pitcher and the new price if you so wish.

Note: Each team’s starting pitcher is defined for betting purposes as the pitcher that throws the first pitch.

No Listed Pitchers

All wagers placed on Money Lines, Totals or Run Lines where starting pitchers are not listed will be considered action at the confirmed price.

All baseball props must go the full 9 innings (8½ if the home team is winning) unless otherwise stated. They also must start with the listed pitchers. If a game is suspended and/or completed on a different day than it began, props will be graded ‘no-action’ unless otherwise stated.

In baseball, all games that go at least the full 9 innings and finish tied as a result of a suspension of play, shall be graded as a push on all money line bets. However, all run line and total bets will have action. Note that this is an extremely rare occurrence. In the event of a change in Las Vegas rules, we will adhere to the decision set forth in Las Vegas.

General Sport Betting Rules Card Game

MLB Series Price: Any and all baseball series wagers must have all 3 games played by the end of a specified date for the wager to have action. If all 3 games are not played by that specified date then all wagers have ‘no-action’, regardless if one team has 2 wins. All 3 games must be official by Las Vegas Gaming Standards (see our rules regarding baseball wagers and what constitutes an official result).

Note: If we provide a baseball series price for a series that has 4 games, for grading purposes, the wager is based on the initial 3 games.

‘First Five Innings Bets':

Money lines and run lines are official after 5 full innings of play, or 4½ if the home team has the lead and the game is called before completion of the inning.

-4½ innings with home team winning and total is over: over is winner

-4½ innings with home team winning and total is under: no action

‘Team to Score First’ props are accepted as ‘listed pitchers’ and will be graded as soon as the first team has scored and the home team has had a turn at bat. If the home team scores first, that bet will be graded at that time and bets are action regardless of game suspension or postponement. If the visiting team scores first, the bet will be graded once the home team has completed its turn at bat.

‘Will there be a Score in the First Inning?’ props are accepted as ‘listed pitchers’ and will be graded as soon as the first inning ends. All bets will be action regardless of game suspension or postponement, as long as the first inning is completed.

‘Total Runs + Hits + Errors’ props are accepted as ‘listed pitchers’ and the game must go the full 9 innings (8½ if the home team is winning) for bets to have action.

For ‘Live Betting’ games must go must go the full 9 innings (8½ if the home team is winning)

If there is a pitching change, all player props for that game will be closed immediately. When the game starts and it is confirmed that a pitcher other than the pitcher listed on the bet threw out the first pitch, those props will have ‘no-action’. (If the game is suspended and/or completed on a different day than it began, Player/Pitcher Props will have ‘no-action’).

Baseball Grand Salami: The Baseball Grand Salami will be decided by the total runs scored in all major-league games scheduled for that day. All scheduled games must go at least 9 innings (8.5 if the home team is winning). If any scheduled game is canceled or stopped before the completion of 8.5 innings, all wagers on the Baseball Grand Salami will be canceled. No pitchers will be listed for the Grand Salami; all wagers will have action regardless of the starting pitchers.

Game and Team Totals Odd or Even - bets are 'listed pitchers'. If there is no score all bets will be settled as even.

Wagers on 'Total Bases by Player' prop will be settled as follow: Single=1 Double=2 Triple=3 Homerun=4 All Else=0.

Other Baseball Tournaments or Leagues

For NCAA Baseball, MLB Pre-season or other international baseball leagues, pitchers are generally not listed so all wagers will be considered action at the confirmed price. If pitchers are listed, games will be treated in exactly the same way as MLB games.

NCAA Baseball

NCAA Baseball Games are not official until a winner is declared. If an NCAA Baseball game begins, then is delayed to a later date, all wagers will have action with the final score result on that new date.

Hockey

For wagering purposes, winners and losers are determined by the final score, provided that the game has gone the minimum time as specified above.

Overtime: For wagering on games in the National Hockey League, the final score includes overtime. Regardless of the number of goals scored during the shootout portion of overtime, the final score recorded for the game will give the winning team one more goal than the score at the end of regulation time.

Personal Player Stats and other Stats achieved during an NHL Shootout are not taken into account for certain proposition bets, for example: Player Total Shot on Goals, Player Total Points, Player Total Goals, Team to Score First, Team to Score Last.

Game and Team Totals Odd or Even: If there is no score all bets will be settled as even.

Las Vegas rules, regulations, payoffs and wager types apply where not covered herein.

NHL Player Props: Please note that all Players Must Play unless otherwise stated.

'NHL Season Point Totals' only include regular season games and all 82 regular season games must be played for action. Play-off games and pre-season games do not count for this bet offering.

Note: In the event of a date change all Playoff bets will remain action.

Parlay or Multiple Betting

No parlay wagers can be accepted where individual wagers are ‘connected’, ‘dependent’ or ‘correlated’.

Using a baseball game as an example, let's say you want to take the Boston Red Sox to win on the money-line and the Boston Red Sox on the run-line. If the Boston Red Sox win the game, it is also likely that they will win by at least two runs therefore the selections are said to be ‘correlated’ and cannot be parlayed together. For the same reason, we do not allow the favorite/underdog on the runline and the over/under of the same game to be placed in the same parlay.

In the same way, you cannot parlay the line for the first half of a football game with the line for the whole game or the total for the first half of a football game with the total for the whole game, as the two are ‘dependent’. Less obviously, but nonetheless correlated, are the favorite/underdog on the spread and the over/under of the same game placed together in a parlay or teaser bet when the spread is greater than or equal to 30% of the total.

Dead Heat Rule

In the event of a dead heat (a tie), stakes will be divided by the number of selections that have tied, with the divided stake settled at full odds. Remaining stakes are lost. If the tie was a betting option, then the dead heat rule does not apply. The dead heat rule only applies to 'future' wagers. For example, if there is a 3 way tie for the top scorer in a basketball game, then your winnings are calculated by taking your stake, dividing it by 3, and multiplying that amount by the odds on your betting ticket.

Buying Points

Buying points allows you to change the point-spread or total of a football or basketball game.

You can move the point-spread so you get more points when betting the underdog or you give away fewer points when betting the favorite. When buying the first ½ point or full point we charge 10 cents per ½ point. But after the first point, we charge 20 cents per ½ point.

You can only buy a maximum of 3 points in Football and Basketball, both College and Professional.
There is a special rule when buying points on the spread in football:

• When buying on or off the 3 there is an extra cost of 15¢ on NFL and 10¢ on College Football.
• When buying on or off the 7 there is an extra cost of 10¢ (both NFL and College).
