Football
The football wagers offered within GoSportsBet.com are straight bets (point spread), parlays, teasers, totals, and reverses.

Straight betting consists of a point spread and an over/under. All of these types of wagers have odds of 11/10 unless otherwise indicated. The player would bet $110 to win $100.

Parlays and teasers are combination bets, which are offered within all the football betting venues. The more games combined into one single wager, the higher the odds and the bigger the payout.

NCAA Season Win Totals only includes Regular Season Games. Each team must play their scheduled 12 Regular season Games. Championship Games and Bowl games do NOT count for this bet offering. Teams must play all scheduled opponents.

Note: There is a $1,500 limit on sides/totals.

Baseball
GoSportsBet.com offers a straight money line bet for baseball. This means that if the underdog is listed at +160 then the player would have to wager $100 to win $160. But if the favored team is listed at -160 then the player would wager $160 to win $100. The favorite will always be listed as a negative while the underdog will always be listed as a positive. If the game is determined to be a "pick" (even odds) then the wager is considered to be the standard 11/10 bet.

Totals are also offered within the baseball wagers. All over/under bets are at 11/10 odds unless otherwise accompanied by a money line.

If the listed starting pitcher is scratched prior to him throwing his first official pitch of the game, then those wagers involving the two competing teams will be considered a "no action" and all money will be returned to the player's account.

Parlay bets are combination bets, which are offered within all the hockey betting venues. The more games combined into one single wager, the higher the odds and the bigger the payout. Parlays are paid out according to the money line of the teams wagered on.

Note: * There is a $750 limit on base sides/totals.

Hockey
Hockey offers two different types of wagers: the puck line and totals.

The puck line works exactly as a point spread wager. If the favored team is listed at -1 1/2 then they would have to win the game by 2 or more goals for the bet to pay. Vice versa, if the underdog's line is +1 1/2 then they would have to lose by less than 2 goals for the wager to pay. The odds for the puck line are the standard 11/10 wager unless a money line accompanies the puck line.

Totals are also offered within the hockey wagers. All total bets are at 11/10 odds unless otherwise accompanied by a money line.

Parlay bets are combination bets, which are offered within all the hockey betting venues. The more games combined into one single wager, the higher the odds and the bigger the payout. Parlays are paid out according to the money line of the teams wagered on.

Boxing
There are three main ways to wager on a boxing match. You can bet the money line on the boxers participating, you can bet the round set as the over/under, or you make a proposition wager which consists of picking which fighter will win and in what round.

The money line means that if the underdog is listed at +160 then the player would have to wager $100 to win $160. But if the favored boxer is listed at -160 then the player would wager $160 to win $100. The favorite will always be listed as a negative while the underdog will always be listed as a positive. If the match is determined to be a "pick" (even odds) then the wager is considered to be a 12/10 bet, which is the standard for boxing.

The over/under will be set by the round in which the fight will either end prior to or after that round. So if the round is set as the ninth round then someone choosing the under would predict the match to last under 9 rounds, and someone choosing the over would predict over 9 rounds. The wager will be set as 12/10 unless otherwise accompanied by a money line. So the winning under wager in this example would be if the match did not last until the opening bell of the tenth round. The winning over wager would be if the fight lasted past the opening bell of the tenth round.

A proposition wager consists of picking which fighter will win in what round. Odds will be given to each fighter winning in each round. One fighter may be a 2-1 favorite to win in round 6 while the other fighter may be a 10-1 underdog to win in round 6. The odds for this type of wager will be different for each round.
