| If a player wagers
on the favorite, that team must win by more than the amount
of the point spread. On all straight bets, if the favorite
wins by the exact point spread, the wager is a push, tie
or "no action" and all bets are credited back to the player's
account. The numbers listed directly under the O/U Game
is referred to as the total (over/under). Players can wager
that the combined score of both teams will be either over
47 in this example (betting the over) or under 47 (betting
the under).
So if the combined total score of both teams
is over 47 points, then the "Over" bettors will win the
amount they wagered in the proportion of 10 won for every
11 wagered. If the combined total score of both teams is
under 47 then the "Under" bettors win the amount they wagered
in the proportion of 10 won for every 11 wagered. Once again
if the combined final score of both teams falls exactly
on the posted total, the game is considered a push and all
bets are refunded.
While most straight wagers are placed on the side and total
for the entire game, there are a few other straight wagers
available at Bet33 Please
note the following.
First Half Wagering: A bettor
may wager a straight bet on which team will win the first
half of action in just the same fashion as if he were placing
a side bet for the entire game, only in this case, the event
"ends" at the conclusion of the first half. A bettor may
also place a similar wager on the total points scored in
the first half of a given game, just like wagering on the
total of a full game, only in this case the event ends at
the conclusion of the first half. When placing a first half
wager, ONLY the first half of action matters in determining
the outcome of the wager.
Halftime wagers: Halftime lines
are posted by the Bet33
line manager soon after the completion of the first half
of play. A player may then place a straight side wager on
which team will win the second half and the player wins
or loses solely on the scoring done after halftime as what
happened in the first half is irrelevant to that wager.
A bettor may also place a similar wager on the total points
scored in the second half of a given game, just like wagering
on the total of a full game, only in this case the outcome
of the event is determined by only considering those points
scored in the second half. When placing halftime wager,
ONLY the second half of action plus any overtime scoring
matters in determining the outcome of the wager.
Quarter wagers: They will also
offer first quarter, second quarter, third quarter and fourth
quarter wagering on select Football games. When wagering
on these events, only points scored in the selected quarter
count towards the outcome of the wager. Points scored in
any overtime period(s) will NOT count on a fourth quarter
wager.
Matchups: They will also offer straight wagering on select
head-to-head matchups involving individual teams and/or
players. For example, you will be able to wager on who will
score more points on a given NFL weekend, the St. Louis
Rams or the Indianapolis Colts. Often, this will not be
a standard 11-10 wager as one team may be favored by a wider
margin, such as the Rams -150 and the Colts +130.
In our opinion technical analysis is the best football betting
tool to use when handicapping a game.
