The cost of the wager is 10/11 or $110 to win $100. Example: ![]() If the straight wager is on the Colts -8½ then the Colts must win by 9 or more points for the wager to win. If the straight wager is on the Steelers +8½ then the Steelers cannot lose by more than 8 points for the wager to win.

The cost of the wager is 10/11. Example: ![]() If you place a wager for UNDER 47, the combined total score of both teams must fall UNDER 47 pts. If you place a wager for OVER 47, the combined total score of both teams must go OVER 47 pts. If the combined total score falls on 47 pts. The wager is a "PUSH" and there is "NO ACTION". PARLAY [Top] This wager is a selection of teams in no particular order, in one wager. All teams must win by the point-spread margin. The more teams selected, the greater the payoff.

Example: ![]() Part A Chiefs -3 $115 to win $100 IF (win, tie or cancel) Ravens +9 $110 to win $100 Part B Ravens +9 $110 to win $100 IF (win, tie or cancel) Chiefs -3 $115 to win $100 +400 - If both teams win -120 - One win, one loss -220 - Both teams lose +200 - Push IF BETS IF WIN, TIE OR CANCEL [Top] An "IF" wager allows the customer to make a second wager pending a win on the first selection. "IF" wagers must be made at the time of the first selection. The second part of the "IF" wager cannot exceed the amount of the risk + win of the prior selection.
