| 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 San Francisco -5 at St. Louis +5 and the over/under total
is 41. |
|
| The odds are $1.10
to win $1.00 (-110) unless otherwise indicated. |
|
| For the player who
wagers on San Francisco -5, they must win by more than 5 points
for this to be a winning wager. For the player who wagers on
St. Louis +5, they must either win the game, or lose by less
than 5 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" 41, the combined final score of both teams
must exceed 41. For the player who wagers on the total points
of this contest by both teams to be "Under" 41, the
combined final score of both teams must be less than 41. 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 NFL, AFL 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 NFL and NCAA contests, and
will be released mid-week, allowing ample time to get action
on these events. |
|
|
|
|
Second half lines
will be offered on all NFL 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 played 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 Monday Night Football, Sunday night
games, and Bowl 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. |
|
|
|
|
Quarter lines will
be released the day of the game, allowing ample time to get
action on these events. |
|
tr>
|
All quarter lines

|
Wagers may be parlayed
to other contests, but a quarter wager may not be parlayed to
any other wager from the same game. |
|
tr>
|
Overtime scoring
is not included in Fourth Quarter wagers. |
|
|
|
| Moneyline
Wagers |
|
| VIPsports
is proud to offer moneyline wagering on American Football, 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: San
Francisco -200 at St. Louis +180. If San Francisco wins then
the player laid $200.00 to win $100.00. If St. Louis wins then
the player who bet $100.00 wins $180.00. |
|
|
|
Moneylines will
be offered on most NFL and NCAA contests, and will normally
be available on the morning of the game. |
|
|
Moneyline wagers
may be parlayed to other contests, but a moneyline wager may
no |
|
|
game. |
|
| |
|
| Point
Buying |
|
| VIPsports
is proud to offer Point Buys. This is a method of allowing the
bettor to improve the pointspread of a football 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 Denver
Broncos are playing the Kansas City Chiefs, and the line on
the game is the Broncos -6 1/2, with a total of 42. If a $100
wager is placed on the Broncos -6 1/2 with a 1/2 point buy,
the player has a wager on the Broncos -6 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 -5 1/2, he/she would have to put up
$130 to win $100. Buying the pointspread down 1 1/2 points to
5 would cost $140 to win $100, and the full 3 point buy down
to 3 1/2 would cost the bettor $170 to win $100. |
|
| Conversely,
the bettor may also buy points on the Chiefs side, and get the
line at plus 7, 7 1/2 or 8 points, all the way up to plus 9
1/2 points with the same increase in vigorish. |
|
|
| Bettors
may also buy points for football totals. In this particular
game, bettors could buy an "over" wager with a maximum
line move down to 39, or an "under" wager with a maximum
line move up to 45. |
|
|
Point Buying to
a maximum of 3 points will be offered on all NFL and NCAA contests.
|
|
Bettors will be charged
an additional 10% vigorish to buy on, and/or off of the number
3 in the NFL. |
|
Point Buying will
not be offered on halftime, quarter or moneyline wagers. |
|

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. |
