Special
Teasers
3 team
Sp 7 pts 12/10
4 team Sp 9 pts 13/10
A tie +
loss = Loss
A tie + win = Push
In case
of no action or a tie in a Vegas Teaser
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 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 your teaser a loser.
In a 3
team or 4 team special teaser any combination
of ties and wins is a tie. But a tie and
a loss is a loser.
Buying
Points
Points
can be bought in basketball for the complete
game only. They can be bought on the sides
and the totals. The following table shows
how much it cost to buy points. 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. If
the line on the Bucks is -3.5 -110 and you
buy 2 points the new line will be Bucks
-2 -150.
