Basketball betting and Rules

Sportbet.com will always be one of the first to offer lines for the NBA, NCAA, and WNBA as well as all the pre-season games. In both, the NCAA and NBA, we offer 1st half and 2nd half wagers. In the NBA, lines will be offered on every single quarter. All lines for the following day are posted not later than 12 noon. Along with the regular game lines, you can also wager on futures and in excess of 100 daily NBA and NCAA propositions.

Line Example:

Straight basketball bets(side): When wagering on LOS ANGELES, you must win by at least 5 points to win your wager. When wagering on DALLAS, you cannot lose by more than 4 points to win the bet. If the line was exactly -5, and Los Angeles wins by exactly 5 points, then the bet is a "push", and stake or money is returned to your account. (total): When betting on the total score of a game, you must take the OVER or the UNDER. Regardless of the outcome, the combined score of the two teams will determine if you win or lose your bet. Remember, overtime will always count for the 2 nd half and full game wagers. If you bet Dallas to go OVER 201, and the final score is 112-89, your bet is a “push”, and the money will be returned to your account.

Money Line bets
When wagering on the money line, you must win the game straight up in order to win your bet. Wagering on Los Angeles -210 means you must risk $210 to win $100. It does not matter by how many points LA wins, just that they win. Wagering on DALLAS +180, you stake $100 to win $180. Again, in this case, Dallas just needs to win straight up.

IN THE EVENT OF A POSTPONED OR SUSPENDED GAME, ALL NBA GAMES ARE CONSIDERED FINAL AFTER 43 MINUTES OF PLAY. USING THE ABOVE SITUATION IN THENCAA, ALL GAMES ARE CONSIDERED FINAL AFTER 35 MINUTES OF PLAY.

Future Wager
Future wagers, such as; to win any championship or any division, are graded as soon as the season or tournament is over.

Basketball Parlays
Over the internet, you can parlay up to 15 basketball teams. Each parlay has a specific payout:

*** MAXIMUM PARLAY PAYOUT IS $75,000

Any payout that exceeds these limits, will not be honored, and will be limited to the specs listed above. Note: Any duplication of a particular bet, if it exceeds the maximum payout, the wager is not honored.

Teaser Rules: In case of no action or a tie in a 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 the teaser a loser. Over the internet, Teasers are limited to 6 teams, and also to a specific payout:

Basketball Teasers: 4 pts, 4½ pts, 5 pts.

Teaser Bet payoffs are the following:

A two team teaser with a tie and a win, or a no action and a win is considered a push and your wager amount is refunded to your account.

Basketball Monster Teasers odds: 7 points
