Wagering / SPORTSBOOK / BETUS HELP

Action Reverse

Reverse Bets are a combination of between 2-8 teams where every possible 2-Team combination therein is made into an If Bet and then reversed the other way around. Every team in the Reverse will pair with every other team in the Reverse to form two If Bets. Reverses always have Double Action.

Rules

1. If any component of a parlay is a loss, the entire parlay will be graded a loser.
2. If any component(s) of a parlay is a Push, Cancellation, Tie, or if any of the events are graded as No Action, the parlay and payout will reduce to the next lowest number. If a parlay is thusly reduced to zero plays, the entire wager amount will be returned to the client’s BetUS account.
3. Any event not occurring on the specified date will be graded as No Action and the parlay and payout will reduce accordingly.
4. Some combinations within a same game are not able to be parlayed.

Buying Points

In basketball and football, the sports with point spreads, you will sometimes see a game and a point spread that you like somewhat but you are not quite sure about. For single wagers, we allow you to buy points on those games and, thus, put the odds of winning more in your favor. Of course, there is a premium to be paid for this service as we would otherwise run ourselves right out of business. The price you pay for each half point you buy averages out to an extra 10% juice, or vigorish.

When a line is at standard odds of -110, there is a 10% juice. An extra 10% then would make that line at -120.

If Bets

An if bet is similar to a parlay in that your selections are linked, however your second wager will only be placed if your first selection is a winner. Likewise, each subsequent leg of the If Bet is will be placed as long as the preceding winner is the winner.

The main advantage to an If Bet is that it allows you to place multiple wagers with a limited amount of funds as you can you use a single risk amount to place up to 6 wagers. The wagers can be concurrent or overlapping.

Rules

1. Only the major sports can be included in an IF Bet
2. A minimum of two selections and a maximum of six selections can be used in an IF Bet
3. Circled games, futures and props cannot be included in an IF Bet.
4. If Bets must be placed prior to the earliest event on the Ticket
5. All wager amounts must be equal or less than the original amount of the first selection.
6. In single action sequence, subsequent selection will only have action if the preceding wager is a win.
7. In double action, subsequent bets will have action only if the preceding bet is a win, push, no action, or cancelled.

Parlay Wagers

A parlay or accumulator is a selection of two to fifteen wagers that are combined together in to a single bet. In order to win the wager all of your selections have to be winners. Even if only one of your selections loses, you will lose your entire parlay. The benefit to Parlays is that the more selections you make the bigger your payoff will be when you win your wager.

Rules

1. You may combine any of the 4 major North American sports using point spreads, money lines and/or Totals. You may neither buy points nor use circled games in parlays.
2. If any selection of a parlay is a loss, the entire parlay will be considered a loss.
3. If any selection of a parlay is a Push, Cancellation, Tie, or if any of the events are graded as No Action, the parlay and payout will reduce to the next lowest number. Two team parlays will reduce to a single wager with only the remaining selection having action.
4. Some combinations within a same game cannot be parlayed.

Round Robin

A round robin is a convenient way to create multiple parlays at one time. You can select between three and eight lines and then combine them in parlays of two to six teams. The advantage is that generally you need to hit on only one winning combination to make your money back for the entire round robin.

A Round Robin is a wager type consisting of all possible parlay combinations of a chosen number within a group of selected teams. They are a convenient way to place multiple parlays within a chosen set of teams by allowing you to select between 3-8 teams and then combine them in parlays of 2-7 teams.

Rules

1. Standard parlay rules are applicable.
2. A Round Robin will involve between 3 and 8 teams.
3. Parlays will be in 2-7 game combinations.

Round Robin Calculation Table

Straight Bet

A straight bet is a single wager on the outcome of a single event or game. Depending on the line-type, the outright winner, the spread or a combined total of both teams decide whether you win or lose. The confirmed odds at the time you placed your wager will determine the amount you win.

Rules for Single Wagers

1. All straight bets are single wagers the outcome of which is Win, Loss or Push (Tie, No Action, Cancelled) based on the event or game wagered on.
2. All have standard odds (-110) and pay 10/11 unless otherwise noted.
3. The line taken when the wager is placed is constant regardless of subsequent line fluctuation on the BetUS site.
4. Ties, Cancellations, Pushes and No Action wagers, for whatever reasons they occur, will result in wager amounts being returned to the BetUS client’s BetUS account.

Teaser Wagers

A teaser is a wager involving two or more outcomes in a single wager wherein you adjust the point spread/total in your favor in return for reduced odds.

A teaser can only be played in American Football (NFL/NCAA) and Basketball (NBA/NCAA) or a combination of these two sports only. Teasers have a minimum two selections and a maximum of 15.

Teasers are similar to a parlay in that they allow you to place a wager with between two and fifteen selections but in exchange for taking a lower payout, you can “tease” the line in your favor.

You can tease the point spread and or total on a basketball or football game. When you tease the a favorite on the point spread you are actually decreasing the number of points that your selection has to win by or if you take the underdog you are increasing the points your selection can lose the game by before the selection is a loss. When your teaser includes overs and or unders, the total is teased lower if you choose an over and higher if you choose and under.

Rules

1. Teasers must have between 2 and 15 teams.
2. Any loss in a teaser will grade the entire wager as a loss. There are no partial payouts.
3. A push in a regular teaser of 3 teams or more will reduce the number of plays in the teaser. For example, a 5-team teaser that has two pushes will become a 3-team teaser and the payout will be recalculated based on the new number of plays.
4. A push or tie in any 2-team regular teaser will result in a push for the whole teaser, unless the other game is graded a loss. If any portion of a 2-team teaser is graded No Action, the entire teaser will be graded No Action, unless the other team is graded a loss.
5. Any event which does not take place on the date specified in the wager will be graded as No Action and the wager will reduce accordingly as explained above.

Football (NFL/NCAA) Teaser Payouts

No limit on number of totals.

Special Football (NFL/NCAA) Teasers

With special teasers, you can tease the games you like even more, although you are limited to having either 3 or 4 teams only.

Special teasers work the same way as regular teasers but for one important difference. Assuming there is no loss in the teaser, any push within the teaser will make the entire wager a push.

As with regular teasers, any loss grades the whole wager as a loss.

3 Team Special teasers allow a maximum of 1 Total.

4 Team Special teasers allow spreads only.

Football (NFL/NCAA) Pleasers

A pleaser is a wager involving two or more outcomes in a single wager wherein you adjust the point spread in the house’s favor in return for increased odds.

Totals are not allowed in pleasers.

A pleaser can only be played in American Football (NFL/NCAA) and Basketball (NBA/NCAA) only.

Pleasers have a minimum of 2 selections and a maximum of 8.

You can please the point spread and or total on football game. When you please the a favorite on the point spread you are actually increasing the number of points that your selection has to win by or if you take the underdog you are decreasing the points your selection can lose the game by before the selection is a loss. When your pleaser includes overs and or unders, the total is pleased higher if you choose an over and lower if you choose and under.

Any loss in a pleaser will grade the entire wager as a loss. There are no partial payouts.

A push in a pleaser of 3 teams or more will reduce the number of plays in the pleaser. For example, a 5-team pleaser that has two pushes will become a 3-team pleaser and the payout will be recalculated based on the new number of plays.

A push or tie in any 2-team regular pleaser will result in a push for the whole pleaser, unless the other game is graded a loss. If any portion of a 2-team pleaser is graded No Action, the entire teaser will be graded No Action, unless the other team is graded a loss.
