Wagering rules and conditions are subject to change. *Information stated on the How to Bet pages are not the official house rules. Teasers also pay less than a parlay, since the spreads are adjusted to the player’s advantage. Like a parlay, a teaser is a loss if any selected side loses. A teaser allows the player to add extra points on an underdog or subtract points on a favorite on multiple games. In basketball, we offer 4, 4 ½, 5, and 6 point teasers.

A player can combine 2 to 10 teams into a single parlay wager.

For example, the player would lay $55 to win $50 or $110 to win $100, etc.īasketball parlay rules are the same as football. When wagering on totals the odds are 11 to 10, unless stated otherwise. All points scored in overtime count in the final score. The player can wager that the final score will be more or less than this number. The number 218 in this example is the Total (also called Over/Under is the combined number of points scored by both teams). There is no possibility of a tie because a ½-point line is used. If the player bets Washington (+4 ½), they must win the game outright or lose by four points or less for the player to win. New York must win the game by 5 points or more for a player to win his bet. In the example, New York is favored by 4 ½ points.
