Betting on baseball is done by laying or taking money odds. The minus (-) indicates the favorite; the plus (+) indicates the underdog. On money odds, whenever there is a minus (-), you lay that amount to win a dollar; where there is a plus (+), you get that amount for every dollar bet.

Auto Racing

When placing a bet on the outright winner of a race, your driver must start the race for the bet to have action. Both drivers in a match-up bet must start the race for the bet to have action. In league championship betting, a driver must race in at least one race during the season for your bet to have action. The start of any motor race is defined as the signal to start the warm-up lap.

The official winner at the conclusion of the race shall be the winner for betting purposes.

The race must complete the scheduled number of laps and/or distance for specific proposition bets (pertaining to number of laps and/or distance) to have action; match-ups, finishing position props and future bets will have action regardless. Races must be run within one week of the scheduled date for your bet to have action.

Boxing

When the bell sounds, signifying the start of the opening round, the bout is considered official for betting purposes, regardless of the scheduled length or title. Fights must run within two months of the specified date for your bet to have action.

If the fight's scheduled number of rounds is changed, all rounds proposition bets are no action. For betting purposes, a round is considered a full round only when the bell sounds signifying the end of said round. The official stopping of a round before the sounding of the bell does not constitute a full round. If one or both fighters fail to answer the bell for a round, the fight is judged to have finished in the previous round. If the fight ends in a decision or draw, all ‘pick the round’ proposition bets lose.

Golf

Should a tournament be shortened or otherwise affected by weather, the official result will be used when settling, regardless of the number or rounds played. However, should there be no further play after a bet is placed, that bet will be no action.

For match-up betting, all of the players listed in the match-up bet offer must tee-off for your bet to have action. The player with the most completed holes wins. If the players complete the same number of holes, then the player with the lowest score wins. If the players are still tied, the bet will be no action and all monies will be refunded. If both golfers in a match-up are in a playoff, then (a) the winner of the play-off wins the match-up and (b) all other playoff participants tie each other.

Single-day match-ups are bets on that particular day's 18-holes. Single-day match-ups do not include either holes played as part of the completion of a previous day's round or playoff holes considered part of the overall tournament score. Should a day's round be shortened or otherwise affected by weather and the round is continued the next day, the full 18 holes will be considered in determining the outcome of the bet, even if they are played over two days. If both members of the match-up do not complete the full 18 holes, all bets are no action.

For tournament props, all four rounds must be played for bets to have action. For bets on finishing positions, the official final tournament results will determine the winner.

Soccer (European Football)

The most common wager type in soccer is a moneyline wager. The money line wager offers a draw line as well as on the sides. In the event that there is a draw (0-0, 1-1, 2-2, etc), all bets on the side will be graded as a loser and the draw will be graded as a win. This rule does not apply to the pointspread or total if offered.

The result of the game is decided after 90 minutes of regulation play plus any additional minutes added for injury time. A moneyline wager that offers a draw and two sides becomes official after the 90 minutes+injury time. Any scoring that occurs after regulation in not included.

If any match is abandoned, all bets will be void unless there are propositions that have already won. Examples of this are “team to score first”. If a team has scored and the match is abandoned, that proposition will receive action; however, all sides, totals and pointspreads will be “no action.

In the case of a change in venue, all bets will stand unless the change of venue reverts to the away teams home venue. In the event of home field advantage switching, all bets will be voided. In the case of neutral sites, all bets will stand and have action.

Tennis

For tennis Match Betting, two full sets must be completed for wagers to stand. If fewer than two sets are completed, all wagers will be considered no action.

All bets will stand, regardless of any of the following taking place: (a) change of playing surface (b) change of venue (c) change from indoor court to outdoor court or vice versa (d) match is delayed until the following day due to inclement weather.

For tennis Set Betting, if the match does not start or is incomplete due to either players' incapacity or disqualification, then all bets are no action.
