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.
