To win on the

be added together and it must exceed 198 points. When
betting the "under", the total score for

Future Wagers
Future wagers, such as win any championship or the
divisional winners, will be graded as soon as the
season is over.
Special
Teasers
3 team Sp 7 pts
12/10
4 team Sp 9 pts 13/10
A tie + loss
= Loss
A tie + win = Push
In case of no
action or a tie in a Vegas Teaser it reverts to a
lower number i.e. a 4 team teaser with one tie and
three wins will revert to a three team teaser with
its corresponding pay-out. The exception will be the
two team teaser in the event of a win and a tie it
will be graded as a push. Any loss will make your
teaser a loser.
In a 3 team or
4 team special teaser any combination of ties and
wins is a tie. But a tie and a loss is a loser.
Buying Points
Points can be
bought in basketball for the complete game only. They
can be bought on the sides and the totals. The following
table shows how much it cost to buy points. When you
buy points the spread will change to your advantage
but will increase the amount you have to risk in order
to win the bet. If the line on the Bucks is -3.5 -110
and you buy 2 points the new line will be Bucks -2
-150.
