Football Betting Example: Green Bay Packers -7 vs. Denver Broncos +7; If the straight wager is on the Packers -7 then the Packers must win by 8 or more points for it to be a winner. If the straight wager is on the Broncos +7 then the Broncos cannot lose by more than 6 points for it to be a winner. If the game lands on 7pts, then the game is a "push" and will result in "no action".
Betting on Football Totals (Over/Under); This is a wager on the combined scores (total) of a game, that is being bet on either on the over or under the posted line. The cost of the wager is 10/11. If you place a wager for UNDER 38, the combined total score of both teams must fall UNDER 38 pts.
Football Over/Under Example: Baltimore Ravens VS Atlanta Falcons and the tOTAL IS 38.0. If you place a wager for OVER 38, the combined total score of both teams must go OVER 38 pts. If the combined total score falls on 38 pts, the wager is a "PUSH" and there is "NO ACTION".
Money Line Wagering with this type of wager you stipulate which team is going to win. Disregarding the point spread.
Football Moneyline Example: Green Bay Packers -7 vs. Denver Broncos +7. If you wager on Green Bay -280 you lay $280 to win $100. If you wager on Denver at +240, you lay $100 to win $240.
Football Parlay Wager; this play is a selection of teams in no particular order, in one play. All teams must win by the pointspread margin. The more amount of teams, the greater the payoff.
Football Parlay Example: 2 team parlay for $100; Green Bay Packers -7 vs. Denver Broncos +7. The payout in a 2-team parlay is 13/5 this means you are risking $100 to win $260. In case of a tie or no action the parlay will revert to the lower level payoff, except in a 2 team parlay where a tie reverts to a straight bet.
Football Teaser Wager: This is a wager in which 2 to 7 teams are selected together in one wager with an adjusted point spread. In a teaser you can add points to the sides or mix both sides and totals adding or subtracting to the totals. If one selection loses the teaser is considered a loss.
Football Teaser Example: 2 team teaser 7 pts for $100 Green Bay -7/+7 pts = the teased line is now "pick" Denver Broncos +7/7 pts = the teased line is now +14. The payout in a 2 team teaser for 7 pts. is 10/13. In this case you will lay $130 to win $100.
Football Pleaser Wager; This is a wager in which 2 to 6 teams are selected together in one wager with an adjusted 6-point spread in favor of the house. In a pleaser you subtract points from the sides (no totals allowed). If one selection loses the teaser is considered a loss.
Football Pleaser Example: 2 team pleaser 6pts for $100 Green Bay -7/-6 pts = the teased line is now -13 Denver Broncos +7/-6 pts = the teased line is now +1. The payout in a 2 team pleaser is 6 to 1. In this case you would lay $100 to win $600.

BUYING POINTS
Sports Handicapper Ron Raymond says the best time to buy points is when you get a key number like 3.5 or 7.5 in football and when betting on baseball, if you like the OVER on a total that is 8.5, then buy the hook and bet on 8.0.
- ½ points -120
