Straight Bets
One team is typically favored over another by the pointspread; for betting purposes, the favorite spots the underdog points. Favorites are indicated by a minus sign (-) and the underdog by a plus sign (+) followed by the spread amount. Sometimes there is no spread on a game which the oddsmakers have deemed to be even money. This may be indicated by a PK (Pick) or an E (Even). For example, a line like this:
401 Philadelphia Eagles –3
402 Kansas City Chiefs
(The arbitrary numbers to the left of the team identify that team for the sportsbook for that week. Home team is listed on bottom.)

If you bet on KC (+3), and the final score ends up to be Philly 21, KC 19, you won your bet since KC covered the spread by 1 point. If the point differential of the game equals the pointspread (i.e.: Philly 21, KC 18), this is a push (tie) and your original bet on this game is refunded, regardless of which team was wagered on.


Over/Under (O/U) Totals
You can bet whether the total number of points scored by both teams in the game will be over or under the total set by the oddsmaker. For example, if the O/U is 38.5 and you believe that the combined points scored by both teams will exceed this number, you would bet over. You’d bet under if you believe the total points score will be less than 38.5.

Parlay - 2 -3 teams max
A wager on 2 or more teams or any other bet type. You can combine bets on games, pointspreads, O/Us, and money lines into a parlay bet. To win your parlay, you must hit all your picks. A single miss and the whole parlay loses. In the event of a push, the parlay drops to the next lower number, i.e. a 4-team parlay becomes 3-teams. Parlays are the high risk/high payout bets. Some sportsbook parlay odds may vary slightly on the higher number of selections, but the following is a typical example of payouts:
Football Point Spread Parlay Odds
2 Picks 2.5/1
3 Picks 6/1



Teasers - 2 to 3 teams Max
Like a parlay, a Teaser is a bet on 2 or more picks. The difference between the two is that in a teaser, the spreads are adjusted in your favor, but the teaser payouts are less than in a parlay. A 6 point, two team teaser would adjust the pointspread 6 points in the your favor for each game. For example, you choose both of the favorites in the following: Carolina Panthers are favored by 7 points in one game and the New England Patriots are favored by 8 in the other. You would net the spreads of each game against the 6 points. Carolina would now be favored by 1 point (7-6=1) and New England would now be favored by 2 points (8-6=2). In this case, you are betting that Carolina will win by >1 point and New England will win by > 2 points. Like parlays, all picks must be correct to win. In the case of a tie in a two team teaser, your bet is refunded. A tie, or push in a three or more team teaser will reduce the wager to the next lowest level. i.e. a 5 team teaser with a push becomes a 4 team teaser.

Football Teaser Odds
-----------6 Points
2 Picks 10/11
3 Picks 9/5

I am asking that all bets be made in detail to make sure no issues arise.

I ask you keep each bet in a simple team(s)/Odds/amount for each bet in an individual post.

Tease and Parlay need a bit more definition in the post.

[NFL-Know]

I would like to bet 100 on a 3 game straightup points spread parlay with no O/U:


1/5 4:30 ET At Houston -4.5 Cincinnati

Texans will win this game by 5 or more points because they want another chance against the Pats in Gillette ROFL

1/6 1:00 ET At Baltimore -6.5 Indianapolis

Ravens may win this game but NOT by 7 or more points. Fantastic rookie season for Andrew Luck !


1/6 4:30 ET Seattle -3 At Washington

Seahawks are playing like crazed animals right now and will win this game. This is playoff game of the week imho and will be most exciting having to other rookie standard-outs doing battle in their first year playoff game.

Vegas had a backbreaking year b/c favs covered their spread in record numbers.

http://www.detroitnews.com/article/...FL-cause-staggering-losses-Vegas-sports-books

The problem for Las Vegas sports books is that many popular NFL teams beat the points spread during the regular season. And with many bettors combining their picks in parlays, $20 wagers turned into payouts of up to more than $1,000, depending on how many winning bets they combined.
The result is what one Las Vegas sports bookmaker called a "staggering" financial hit from the NFL regular season, as bettors handed Nevada sports books their worst year in memory.
"We know the general public now has tremendous sources of information, that the regular player is sharper than the guy 10 years ago, but we've never seen a streak like this before," said Jay Kornegay, a 25-year veteran who heads the Las Vegas Hotel and Casino's 30,000-square-foot Race and Sports book.
The damage was particularly bad in Week 9 of the NFL season, when Vegas-backed underdogs finished 2-10 against the point spread, while seven games that day finished "over" the game's projected total-points-scored line.
Bettors adore backing the "over" and "favored" teams such as the Broncos, Patriots, Falcons and Packers. As that Nov. 4 perfect storm hit, MGM Resorts, the city's largest sports bookmaker, was forced to summon emergency stashes of cash to pay off its losses.
"It's like you're a passenger trapped on a train to hell," said Jay Rood, whose 12 MGM Resorts' sports books at properties including Mandalay Bay, Mirage and Bellagio took a seven-figure hit that day.
Kornegay dismissed the notion bookmakers can recover enough money in the NFL playoffs to make up for their losses. "We'll just turn the page on the calendar and continue to evaluate ourselves, seeing if we need to make subtle changes," he said.

Placing that bet must have been a little hard for you.

 

[mikiemo83]

30k on Hou (-4.5)

You sent $30.

Try typing 29970 into the amount. No comma when transferring cash

 

[chevss454]

Christian Ponder hasn't won a game outdoors. Aaron Rodgers still hasn't won a playoff game at Lambeau Field. One of these is surprising.

 

[OSUBuckeye]

Placing that bet must have been a little hard for you.

Nah. Never been a Bengals fan. I did want them to beat SF in both SB's but Super Joe had other plans.
