BETTING TIPS - 'If' Bets
An "if" bet is a selection of two straight
wagers joined together on one betting ticket by
an "if" clause. This type of wager allows
you to increase your betting power and limit your
risk by placing two straight bets on one betting
ticket where your second bet will only have action
"if" your first bet in the sequence is
successful.
 |
An "if"
bet is also useful if you want to make more
than one bet, but do not have adequate funds
in your account to cover the second bet unless
the first bet wins.
There are two types of action
you can select when placing an "if"
bet: "If Win Only" and "Action".
|
"If Win Only"
means the second part of the wager only has action
if the first part of the wager is a win. If the
first leg is settled as a push, no action or canceled,
the amount risked is returned to your Bodog account.
"Action" means if for any
reason the first part of the wager is settled as
a win, push, no action or canceled then the second
part of the wager is then placed.
It may take some time, but once you
understand "if" bets you'll be hooked
on the flexibility they offer.
"I had run my account dry,"
says Steve Johnson, a Bodog player from Pocatello,
Idaho, "and when my friend told me about the
updates I put some more money in to enjoy the new
options."

Reverses
A reverse bet is a series of "if" bets
going both
forward and in "reverse" order. Each team
included
in the reverse bet will pair with the other team
to form two "if" bets. For example:
"If" Peyton makes the playoffs,
will he choke again? First part:
New England Patriots -8 $110 to win $100
Action (If win, push, "No Action" or canceled)
Buffalo Bills (-175)
Risk $110 to win $63
Second part:
Buffalo Bills (-175) $110 to win $63
Action (If win, push, "No Action" or canceled)
New England Patriots -8
Risk $110 to win $100
Total risk $220 (maximum risk) to
win $326 (maximum win)
Possible Outcomes:
If the Patriots and the Bills both
win you will win $163 on the first part of the reverse
wager and $163 on the second part, for total winnings
of $326.
If the Patriots win and the Bills lose you will
lose $10 on the first part of the reverse wager
and $110 on the second part, for total losses of
$120.
If the Bills win and the Patriots lose you will
lose $110 on the first part of the reverse wager
and $47 on the second part, for total losses of
$157.
If one team pushes, is "No Action" or
is canceled and the other team is a loss you will
lose $220.
If one team pushes, is "No Action" or
is canceled and the other team wins you will win
either $126 for the Bills or $200 for the Patriots.

BETTING TIPS - Round Robins
Round-robin betting is a convenient way to enter
multiple parlays or teasers at one time. They allow
you to select between three and eight picks, choose
to parlay or tease the bets, and combine them in
parlays or teasers of two to six teams. For example:
If you are confident in the New England
Patriots -8, Buffalo Bills +4 and Minnesota Vikings
-10, but you do not want to parlay them in a three-team
parlay, you can choose to parlay them in three separate
two-team parlays.
First parlay:
New England Patriots -8
Buffalo Bills +4
Risk $5 to win $13
Second parlay:
New England Patriots -8
Minnesota Vikings -10
Risk $5 to win $13
Third parlay:
Buffalo Bills +4
Minnesota Vikings -10
Risk $5 to win $13
Your total risk amount for the three-team,
two-way parlay is $15 (maximum risk) to win $39
(maximum win).
At least one player has this all
figured out. "I've been waiting for Bodog to
offer reverse bets and round robins," says
Mike Neuner of Boston, "and now you have."
