Straight (Moneyline) Side Wager Baseball tickets will be marked
as follows:
Listed pitcher -
Both starting pitchers are specified. If the pitchers are not
exactly as named, wager constitutes "No Action".
Action -
Any pitcher may start for either team. However if there is a
pitching change Action wagers will be computed with opening
price of the new pitcher.
Pitcher vs. Team-
You may designate the pitcher you want to start for your team
regardless of the other team's starting pitcher.
Team vs. Pitcher-
You may pick a team regardless of the starting pitcher to start
against the other team's designated pitcher.
The wagering on baseball is done by laying or taking money odds.
The minus (-) indicates the favorite
The plus (+) indicates the underdog
Side Example :
| Team |
Pitcher
|
Line
|
| Yankees |
Cone
|
+140
|
| Braves |
Maddux
|
-150
|
Player would lay $150 to win $100 on the Braves. Player wagers
$100 to win $140 on the Yankees.
On money odds whenever there is a minus (-), you lay that amount
to win a dollar. Where there is a plus (+), you get that amount
for every dollar wagered.
Run Line Example
wagerstreet.com also offers its customers the opportunity to
wager on baseball games with the addition of a Run Line:
| Team |
Pitcher
|
Line
|
| Yankees |
Cone
|
+1.5 -160
|
| Braves |
Maddux
|
-1.5 +140
|
In this instance the player could wager on the Yankees +1.5 runs,
but would now have to "lay" $160 to win $100, the player
would win this wager if the Yankees lost the game by less than
1 run (+1.5) or won the game.
A Braves bettor could wager on the Braves and would win $140
for every $100 he wagered provided the Braves win the game by
2 or more runs (-1.5).
Total (Over/Under) Example
| Team |
Pitcher
|
Total
|
| Yankees |
Cone
|
8.5 ov -130
|
| Braves |
Maddux
|
8.5 un +110
|
wagerstreet.com also allows its clients to wager on the "total"
on a baseball game. In this instance a bettor could wager
that the Combined score of the Yankees and Braves would either
be OVER 8 runs, or UNDER 8 runs.
If a bettor placed a wager on the over he would have to "lay"
$130 for every $100 ( or any fraction thereof ) he would like
to win. The bettor would "cash his ticket if the combined
score of both teams was more than 8.5 runs, and lose if the teams
scored less than 8.5 runs.
If a bettor placed a wager on the under, he would win $110 for
every $100 he wagered if the game total was under 8.5 runs.
In this instance the bettor would lose his stake of $100 if the
game went over 8.5 runs.
