|
| Pointspread
& Over/Under Wagers |
| VIPsports is proud
to offer Pointspread and Over/Under betting, both online and
over the telephone. On a pointspread wager, the team wagered
must win by the pointspread. On an over/under wager, the total
points of the contest by both teams, overtime included, must
fall over or under the side selected. |
|
| Example |
|
| The posted line
is the L.A. Lakers -10 at Portland Trailblazers +10 and the
over/under total is 189. |
|
| The odds are $1.10
to win $1.00 (-110) unless otherwise indicated. |
|
| For the player who
wagers on the Lakers -10, they must win by more than 10 points
for this to be a winning wager. For the player who wagers on
Portland +10, they must either win the game, or lose by less
than 10 points for this to be a winning wager. If the outcome
falls on the number, either way, the bet is declared a "Push",
and the original stake is refunded. |
|
For the player who
wagers on the total points of this contest by both teams to
be "Over" 189, the combined final score of both teams
must exceed 189. For the player who wagers on the total points
of this contest by both teams to be "Under" 189, the
combined final score of both teams must be less than 189. If
the outcome falls on the number, the bet is declared a "Push",
and the original stake is refunded.
Pointspread and Over/Under lines will be offered on all NBA,
WNBA and NCAA contests.
All wagers on the side & total will include all overtime
scoring. |
|
|
|
| Halftime
Wagers |
|
| VIPsports
is proud to offer Halftime Wagering, both online and over the
telephone. Halftime wagering is simply a wager only on the score
of the first, or second half of a contest. The line offered
will be a pointspread, a moneyline, or a combination of the
two, but the wager applies only to the score of the halftime
period specified. |
|
|
|
|
First half lines
will be offered on all NBA and NCAA contests. |
|
|
Second
half lines will be offered on all NBA and the majority of NCAA
contests, and will be offered within 5 minutes of the end of
the first half of the contest. |
|
|
|
|
Wagers may be parlayed
to other contests, but a first half wager may not be parlayed
to any other wager from the same game. |
|
|
No teaser plays
or buying of points is allowed on Halftime Wagers. |
|
|
Overtime periods
are included as part of the second half. |
|
|
The full half (first
or second) must be completed for action. |
|
|
|
| Quarter
Wagers |
|
|
|
| VIPsports
is proud to offer wagering on individual quarters of selected
contests, both online and over the telephone. Wagering on quarters
is simply a wager only on the score of the first, second, third
or fourth quarter of a contest. These lines will be offered
on marquee events, such as playoff and championship games. The
line offered will be a pointspread, a moneyline, or a combination
of the two, but the wager applies only to the score of the quarter
specified. |
|
|
|
|
Overtime scoring
is not included in Fourth Quarter wagers. |
|
|
|
| Moneyline
Wagers |
|
| VIPsports
is proud to offer moneyline wagering on Basketball, both online
and over the telephone. Moneyline Wagering is simply wagering
on the contest based on a given price rather than a pointspread.
The team wagered on just has to win the game. |
|
| Example |
| A player
could choose one of two wagers on the following matchup: L.A.
Lakers -200 at Portland Trailblazers +180. If the Lakers win,
the player laid $200.00 to win $100.00. If Portland wins, the
player who bet $100.00 wins $180.00. |
|
|
|
Moneylines will
be offered on most NBA and NCAA contests. |
|
|
Moneyline wagers
may be parlayed to other contests, but a moneyline wager may
no |
|
|
be parlayed to any
other wager from the same game. |
|
| |
|
| Point
Buying |
|
| VIPsports
is proud to offer Point Buys. This is a method of allowing the
bettor to improve the pointspread of a basketball contest by
actually "buying points" for the team he/she wants
to wager, side or total. Bettors can buy points in 1/2 point
increments up to 3 points, depending on the contest. Each 1/2
point costs the bettor an additional 10% vigorish. |
|
| Example |
|
| The L.A.
Lakers are playing the Portland Trailblazers, and the line on
the game is the Lakers -10, with a total of 189. If a $100 wager
is placed on the Lakers -10 with a 1/2 point buy, the player
has a wager on the Lakers -9 1/2 points, and must put up $120
to win $100, instead of the usual $110 to win $100. If the player,
for example, requests a full 1 point buy to move the pointspread
down to -9, he/she would have to put up $130 to win $100. |
|
| Conversely,
the bettor may also buy points on the Trailblazers side, and
get the line at plus 10 1/2 or 11 points, with the same increase
in vigorish. |
|
|
| Bettors
may also buy points for basketball totals. In this particular
game, bettors could buy an "over" wager with a maximum
line move down to 188, or an "under" wager with a
maximum line move up to 190. |
|
|
Point Buying up
to a maximum of 3 points will be offered on all NBA and NCAA
contests. |
|
Point Buying will
not be offered on halftime, quarter or moneyline wagers. |
|
| Proposition
Wagers |
| VIPsports
offers a wide variety of proposition wagers. Because these wagers
deserve special explanation, we have dedicated an entire section
for this. Please click the link at the top of this window labeled
"Props" for complete details. |
