A straight bet is a wager on a particular team (side) to cover
the spread. Or a wager on the total amount of points (over/under).
In the case of a straight bet, you always risk 11 to win 10 (unless
otherwise specified).
Note: When making a Straight Bet in any sport, a tie is a push.
Nobody wins and nobody loses, everyone's risk is returned.
Wagerstreet.com offers the following types of straight wagers
on most NFL games, as well as other select Football events:
When wagering on Football, on straight bets, the player will
(usually) lay $11 for every $10 he wishes to win.
NFL EXAMPLE
The Vikings are a 3 point favorite. Player would lay $110 to
win $100 or $550 to win $500, on either team.
The point spread is always given with a negative number on the
favorite and a positive number on the underdog. If a player wagers
on the favorite, that team must win by more than the amount of
the point spread. On all straight bets , if the favorite wins
by the exact point spread, the wager is a Push or "No Action"
and all bets are refunded.
The numbers directly under the O/U Game is referred to as the
total (over/under). Players can wager that the combined score
of both teams will be either over 40.5 in this example (betting
the over) or under 40.5 (betting the under).
If the combined total score of both teams is over 40.5 (41,42,43
etc.) then the "Over" bettors will cash their tickets.
If the combined total score of both teams is under 40.5 (40,39,38
etc.) then the "Under" bettors will cash their tickets.
Once again if the combined final score of both teams "lands"
exactly on posted total the game is considered a "push"
and all bets are refunded.
Other forms of "straight" wagers are;
1H wagers (1st half wagering): A bettor may wager a straight
"side" bet on which team will "win" the 1st
half of action, on the total points scored in the 1st Half (over/under),
as well as on team totals (an over/under wager whereby ONLY the
total amount of points that the selected team scores is used to
determine the outcome of the wager). Whenever placing a 1st Half
wager, Only the first half of action determines the outcome
of of the wager.
Halftime wagers: Halftime lines are posted after completion of
the 1st Half of play, a bettor may wager a straight "side"
bet on which team will win the 2nd Half, on the total points scored
in the 2nd Half (over/under), as well as on team totals (an over/under
wager whereby ONLY the total amount of points that the selected
team scores is used to determine the outcome of the wager). Whenever
placing a Halftime wager, Only the second half of action
(and overtime if applicable) determines the outcome of Halftime
wagers.
Quarter wagers:
Wagerstreet.com offers 1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter
and 4th quarter wagering on select Football games. When
wagering on these events, only points scored in the selected quarter
count towards the outcome of the wager. Note: Overtime does not towards the 4th quarter, when wagering on 4th quarter sides or totals.
