If “bets" are used
by many players as a method of money management.
The advantage of playing an if bet is that it
reduces your exposure to losses. Like a parlay,
an if bet links together 2 or more individual
plays and circled games may not be added to the
if bet. Unlike a parlay, an if bet is not an all-or-nothing
wager: the individual plays remain individual
wagers and pay at the listed money line if they
win. If bets can be a combination of 2-6 Teams.
All selections are made active if the first team
wins, ties or cancels, you would then have a straight
wager(s) on the remaining teams. Players have
an option of choosing the conditions of an if
bet: (Win, Win/Tie, Lose, Lose/Tie).
Example:
Raiders -7 wager $110 for $100
If win, tie or cancel
Oilers +6 wager $220 for $200
And
Vikings -6 wager $55 for $50
The initial cost of the wager will
be determined by the highest amount the play can
lose. In this example the initial cost would be
$275 because in the event the first team ties
or cancels you would need enough funds to cover
the next two wagers.
Let's look at an if bet that contains
just two plays. You bet on an initial team or
total, if that wager wins then the second wager
that you chose will automatically be placed. You
should therefore always list the bet you are most
confident about first. If your initial bet loses,
then the second wager is not placed. The status
of the linked bets has nothing to do with the
games’ starting times or what order they
are played, it is strictly a logical relation.
Even if the first game in your if bet is played
hours after the second one, the status of the
second bet must wait for the first game’s
results.
The amount of the total wager is collected
at the time you place the entire bet sequence.
The amount of all individual wagers that comprise the if bet
could be different, they must just be changed once in the
final stages of confirming the bet on the bet amount section.
