NFL betting

Sportbet.com will always be one of the first to offer lines for betting on the NFL, College, CFL, Arena Football, as well as all the pre-season games. In both, the NCAA and NFL, we offer 1st half and 2nd half bets. In the NFL, lines will be offered on every single quarter. All lines for the following week are posted at the end of the current week's games. Along with the regular game lines, you can also bet on futures and in excess of 500 weekly NFL and NCAA proposition bets.

Line Example:

Straight football bets (side): When betting on KANSAS CITY, you must win by at least 7 points to win your bet. When betting on DENVER you cannot lose by more than 6 points to win the bet. If the line was exactly -6, and Kansas City wins by exactly 6 points, then the bet is a "push", and stake or money is returned to your account. (total bets): 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 Denver to go OVER 40, and the final score is 28-12, your bet is a “push”, and the money will be returned to your account.

Money Line bets
When betting on the money line, you must win the game straight up in order to win your bet. Betting on KANSAS CITY -290 means you must risk $290 to win $100. It does not matter by how many points KC wins, just that they win. Betting on DENVER +240, you stake $100 to win $240. Again, in this case, Denver just needs to win straight up.

IN THE EVENT OF A POSTPONED OR SUSPENDED GAME, ALL FOOTBALL GAMES ARE CONSIDERED FINAL AFTER 55 MINUTES OF PLAY

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

Football Parlay bets
Over the internet, you can parlay up to 15 football teams. Each parlay has a specific payout:

*** MAXIMUM PARLAY BET 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 Bet Rules: In case of no action or a tie in a Teaser Bet, 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 bet, 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 8 teams, and also to a specific payout:

Football Teasers bets: 6 pts, 6½ pts, 7 pts.

Teaser Bet payoffs are the following:

Special Teasers:

Monster Teaser Odds(3 teams only)
Football Monster Teasers odds:  10 points; Basketball: 7 points; 1 total maximum

Super Teaser Odds(4 teams only)

Football Super Teaser Bets odds:  13 points; Basketball: 10 points; no totals

ALL TIES LOSE

IF THERE IS ANY GAMES CANCELLED AND ALL THE OTHER PICKS ARE WINNERS, THE WAGER IS CONSIDER NO ACTION (MONEY GOES BACK TO THE ACCOUNT)

Note: Teasers are restricted to full-game bets only. Half-time bets and Quarter bets are not allowed for teasers bets.

Pleaser Bet Rules: (for odds info, please click here). Pleaser bets are similar to a teaser bets, only you give, versus receive additional points;  additional points are either subtracted from the underdog or added to the favorite (e.g., if the regular line on your selection is -4 and you select a pleaser, then your line would be -10). Pleasers are currently only available on NFL side bets combined with additional NFL side bets.

Pleaser bet payoffs depend on how many teams are in your wager.  Payoffs are shown in the table below. If there is a tie in one or more of your individual parts then the bet steps down to the next lowest number of teams.

A 2 team pleaser bet with one tie is a push.

Buying Points Rules: (for odds info, please click here). Points can be bought in football and basketball (College and Pro) for the complete game only. They can be bought on the sides and the totals. 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.

Player vs. Player Game Match-Ups: Both players must play at least one down in order to have action. All props will be graded within 2-4 hours. If a game ends after 12 midnight EST, the wagers will be graded by 11 am the following morning.
