Hockey
NHL
(National hockey League). A minimum 55 minutes of play is needed for

If a game requires a shoot-out to determine the winner, One goal will
be awarded to the winner for the final score (regardless of how many goals
scored in the shoot-out) which will be recognized for the total goals
scored as well as the winning team.
Wagering on hockey is done by
laying or taking goals and money odds. The minus sign (-) indicates the
favorite; the plus sign (+) indicates the underdog.
For example,
let us say the Carolina Hurricanes are (+ 1/2 even) and the Red Wings
(-1/2 -1.40). You must lay 1/2 goal, and wager $140.00 to win $100.00 on
the Red Wings. You must wager $100.00 and take 1/2 goal to win $100.00 on
the Hurricanes.
Baseball
MLB (Major League
Baseball) games are official after 5 innings of play or 4.5 innings if the
home team is leading. If a game is subsequently called, or suspended, the
winner is determined by the score after the last full inning. That is,
unless the home team ties the score, or takes the lead in the bottom half
of the inning. In that case, the winner will be determined by the score at
the time the game is called.
When wagering on total runs or run
lines, the game must go the regulation nine innings, or 8.5 innings if the
home team is leading. Otherwise, it will constitute a no action wager and
all money will be credited accordingly.
Wagers on total runs will
be no action if a pitcher change occurs prior to both listed pitchers
throwing at least one pitch.
Baseball wagers are accepted as
listed. In the event of a pitching change prior to the game, all wagers on
a team are considered no action. All wagers will be refunded to the
player's account. For betting purposes, each team's starting pitcher is
defined as the pitcher who throws the first pitch.
Any and all
baseball series wagers must have all three games played by the end of a
specified date for the wager to have action. If all the three games are
not played by the specified date, then all wagers are no action. This is
true even in the case where one of the team has two wins. All three games
must be official as per the rules governing what constitutes an official
result. Bets on series are based on the FIRST 3 games played of each
series.
All baseball props must go the full nine (8½) innings,
unless otherwise stated. They also must start the listed pitchers. Extra
Innings count.
Wagering on baseball is done by laying or taking
money odds. The minus sign (-) indicates the favorite; the plus sign (+)
indicates the underdog. On money odds, whenever there is a minus sign (-),
you lay that amount to win a dollar. Where there is a plus sign (+), you
get that amount for every dollar wagered.
For example, let us say
that the Yankees are listed at (+1.50), and that the Expos are listed at
(-1.60). You must lay $160.00 to win $100.00, or $16.00 to win $10.00, on
the Expos. You must lay $100.00 to win $150.00, or $10.00 to win $15.00,
on the Yankees.
World Baseball Classic
Rules:
Pool Wagering - In the event of a tie between 2 or 3
teams within a pool, whoever wins the tiebreaker according the world
baseball classic (whichever team is considered the number 1 team from that
pool in the next round) is considered the winner.
Soccer
All soccer wagers will be settled on a
minimum of 90 minutes plus any injury time added by the referee. Extra
time, golden goals and penalty shoot-outs do not count.
Money line
wagering on soccer offers a draw line as well as side lines. In the event
of a draw example: (1-1), all bets on either of the sides will be graded
as losers. Again, in the event of a draw, only wagers placed on the draw
line will be graded as a win. This rule does not apply to bets placed on
the spread.
To win a parlay wager each of your selections must be
correct. Keep in mind that, for wagering purposes, a game can end in a
tie. When that happens, only wagers placed on the tie will be winning
wagers. All other wagers will be losers.
Wagers taken on first
goal scorer will be void if the player does not take part in the game, or
comes on after a goal has already been scored. Wagers taken on last goal
scorer will be void if the player does not play, or comes on as a
substitute.
If any match is abandoned, or postponed, all wagers
will be void, unless the relevant market result has already happened. For
example, if a goal has already been scored the first goal scorer wagers
will stand.
Where a venue is changed, wagers will stand, unless
the game is to be played at the original away team's ground, in which
case, all wagers will be void.
Golf
Should a
tournament be shortened, or otherwise affected due to weather conditions,
the official result will be used when settling, regardless of the number
of rounds played. However, should there be no further play, after a wager
is struck, that wager will be void.
For match-up betting, all of
the players, listed in the match-up wager, must tee-off for your wager to
have action. The player with the most completed holes wins. If the players
complete the same number of holes, then the player with the lowest score
wins. If the players are still tied, then the wager will be no action, and
all wagers will be refunded. If both golfers in a match-up are in a
playoff, then the winner of the play-off wins the match-up, and all other
playoff participants tie each other.
Single day match-ups are
wagers on 18-holes on a particular day (hence, term, single day match-up).
Holes played as part of completion from the previous day's round, and
playoff holes, are not included in single day match-ups.
Should a
day's round be shortened, or otherwise affected due to weather conditions,
and the round is continued the next day, the full 18 holes will be
considered in determining the outcome of the wager (even if they are
played over two days). If both members of the match-up do not complete the
full 18 holes, all bets are no action. If both players end the 18 holes in
a tie, the bet is considered a no action wager.
Motor sport
In the event that the driver, or team you wager on for the
outright championship, does not start the race, your bet is considered no
action, that is, there will be no refunds on the wager.
The start
of any motor race is defined as the signal to start the warm-up lap. The
official winner at the conclusion of the race will be the winner for
wagering purposes. Both drivers in a match-up wager must start the race
for the wager to have action. Races must be run within one week of the
scheduled date for your wager to have action.
If a match is
shortened, or otherwise affected by weather conditions, wagers will be
governed by the official competition rules. If a match results in a tie,
wagers will be deemed to be no action.
Tennis
All tennis wagers on the individual matches or sets.
One full set must be completed without player's withdrawal, incapacity or
disqualification for bets to stand.
If a match is rescheduled due to scheduling, weather problems, bad light,
etc. then all bets will have action and all wagers will stand.
All tennis future bets are placed as *"All In"* unless otherwise stated. If
a player withdraws before participating, then all bets on that player are
settled as a loss.
Match–ups
Head to head match–ups are available between contestants.
One full sets must be completed without either player retiring or being
disqualified for head to head match–up wagers to stand. Otherwise, wagers
will be cancelled and all money will be refunded.
Matchup must be fully completed without player's withdrawal, incapacity or disqualification for bets to stand. If a match is rescheduled due to scheduling, weather problems, bad light, etc. then all bets will have action and all wagers will stand.
Wagers placed on match–ups WILL have action even if the match is postponed
(due to weather) and completed on a later date.
In the event of a change in playing surface, bets will be made void in the
case of a major surface change i.e between grass, clay and all types of hard
and synthetic surfaces. Otherwise, bets will stand regardless of any change
of venue with similar surface, or changes from indoor to outdoor and vice
versa.
Match must be completed for set betting, handicap betting and total games to
stand. Otherwise, wagers will be cancelled and all money will be refunded.
Boxing
Fights must take place within one week of the specified date
for a wager to have action. A full round is only considered for wagering
purposes when the bell sounds signifying the end of that round. The
official stopping of a round, before the sounding of the bell, does not
constitute a full round. If the fight ends in a 12 round draw, all wagers
lose. If one or both fighters fail to answer the bell for a round, the
fight is judged to have finished in the previous round. If the scheduled
number of rounds is changed, all wagers on pick the round are void.
Horse Racing .
All horse wagers must be placed 1
minute before the race starts.
Other Sports
To be
considered official for wagering purposes, all other sports events, that
is, those that involve a scheduled length of play or time limit, must play
to conclusion, or have five minutes, or less of the scheduled playing time
remaining, when the event or contest concludes.
The above
mentioned policy is meant as a guideline. The policy is subject to change
by Management.
Payout and Wagering Rules
Baseball
Baseball wagers will be accepted in the following manner:
Payout odds are based upon a money-line.
Both Specified Pitchers: a wager that specifies both starting pitchers,
any variation constitutes "no action." The starting pitcher for each team,
for wagering purposes, is he who throws the initial pitch.
A pitcher is deemed the starting pitcher after throwing one pitch.
Straight Line Payoffs (Football and Basketball)
Member wagers 110 to win 100 unless otherwise specified.
Soccer Rules
1) Moneyline or Win Price -This is listed under the spread
column and is sometimes referred to as a 2-way line. Here the bettor
wagers on their team to win the match, weather it happens in regulation
time (1st 90 minutes), overtime, or penalties. In the case of a tie, all
money is refunded.
2) Moneyline involving a Tie -This is
listed under the moneyline column and is sometimes referred to as a 3-way
line because the bettor has three choices: Team A, Team B, or a Tie. This
type of wagering makes sense because during the regular season it is
possible for a match to end in a tie. If you wager on a team in this
scenario and the outcome of the match at the end of 90 minutes is a tie,
the wager is a loss. If you wager on the tie, and one of the teams wins at
the end of 90 minutes, the wager is a loss.
3) Proposition
Wagering -All proposition wagers are for 90 minutes only. This
includes:
a) Correct Score - Where you
must correctly predict the final score of the game.
b) First Goal Scorer - Where you must
correctly predict who scores the first goal
c)
This also applies to props such as red card, yellow card, corners, first
substitute or others that may be added.
4) Total Goals -
Wagering on game totals (over/under) only includes goals scored in
regulation time (First 90 minutes). The match must reach full-time for
wagers on the total number of goals scored in the match to be valid.
5) Postponed Matches - If match is postponed and
rescheduled to occur within 48 hours of the original start time, all bets
stand. If the match is rescheduled for more than 48 hours later, all
single bets are void and wagers refunded, while affected multiple bets
will be recalculated excluding that match.
6) Abandoned Matches
- Should a match be abandoned before 90 minutes of play, then all bets
will be declared void and wagers refunded. Bets on propositions that have
not been decided shall also be voided and wagers refunded. Bets on
propositions that have been decided (examples include, but are not limited
to: first goal scorer, if a goal has been scored; first half wagering, if
the first half is complete; first card, if a player has been sent off or
booked) will be settled and paid.
7) The terms full-time, first 90
minutes of play and normal time are used to denote the period of play that
includes two halves of play plus any time the referee adds on to
compensate for injuries and other stoppages. It does not include periods
of extra time or penalty shootouts.
8) Different sportsbooks apply
different sets of rules with regards to soccer betting. Please make sure
you understand GOTOHC full set of rules before wagering on
soccer.
Straight Wagers
This is the most common type of sports wager, based on the results of a
single game. One team is favored over another by a point spread. The
favorite is indicated by a minus sign (-3) and the underdog by a plus sign
(+3).
The result of the bet is determined by taking the actual
score and subtracting the spread of the game chosen.
Totals Wagers
The totals wager is based on the combined total number of points or
goals scored by two teams in a single game. A player bets on whether the
combined total number of points or goals scored by the two teams in the
game will be over or under the total set by the odds maker/handicapper.
Money Line Wager
A money line wager, instead of a point spread, may be used to bet on a
match-up between two teams. In effect, if a match-up is determined by a
money line, like Major League Baseball, then it will cost the player more
to wager on the favorite.
For example, the Texas Rangers may be a
(-150) favorite over the Detroit Tigers. In this example, the player must
lay $150 in order to win $100. That is, if the Rangers win, the player
wins $100. If the Rangers lose, the player loses $150. On the other hand,
the player could have bet on the underdog, in which case the player would
lay $100 in order to win $140 (10 cent line). If Detroit loses, the player
only loses $100, but if Detroit wins, the player would win $140.
Parlay Wager
A parlay wager is a bet on two or more teams or selections. It is one
of the more versatile forms of sports wagering. The player can combine
different sports, point spreads and money lines. In a parlay wager the
original stake and winnings are re-invested on the next game, and all
selections must be correct, that is, one loss and the parlay loses.
In the event of a push (tie), game cancellation, or a pitcher who
you have specified as not starting, actually starts, the parlay reduces to
the next lower number. A four team parlay becomes a three team parlay. A
winning parlay wager will pay many times greater than the initial wager.
No parlay wagers will be accepted where individual selections or
propositions are connected.
For example, you cannot parlay the over of
the first half of a football game with the over of the total game, because
the two are connected.
Teaser Wager
A teaser wager is a wager on two or more teams or selections. The
difference between the teaser wager and the parlay is that the player can
adjust or tease the line in his/her own favor. For example, if the Denver
Broncos are favored by seven points in one game, and the Seattle Seahawks
are favored by 10 points in a second game, a teaser could very well favor
the player. That is, a six point two team teaser would adjust the point
spread six points in favor of the player. In effect, Denver would now be
favored by one point (7-6 = 1) and Seattle would be favored by four points
(10-6 = 4).
In this particular example the player is wagering that
Denver will win by more that one point (7-6 = 1) and Seattle will win by
more than four points (10-6 = 4).
IF - Win Wager
An if - win wager is a bet that carries over to a second team if the
player wins on his initial selection. For example, the player has to wager
a fixed amount on one team. If that team wins, or the game is tied, then
another fixed amount, up to the original amount wagered, shall be placed
on a different team.
The player must win his/her first wager in
order to continue the action on the remaining wagers. If the first wager
loses, there is no subsequent action. Note that the player cannot have
duplicate teams in the same if - win wager.
Let us look at each of
the following examples :
Example One:
Place a fixed wager
on Denver Broncos to win with spread of (-7).
If Broncos win, a
fixed wager (up to the original amount) is placed on Seattle Seahawks to
win with spread of (-3).
If Seattle also wins, the player would
collect $200 .00 on a stake of $110.00.
Example Two:
Place
a fixed wager on Denver Broncos to win with spread of (-7).
If
Broncos win, a fixed wager (up to the original amount) is placed on
Seattle Seahawks to win with spread of (-3).
However, if Seattle
loses, the player would lose $11.00 on a stake of $110.00.
Example
Three:
Place a fixed wager on Denver Broncos to win with spread of
(-7).
If Broncos lose, and Seattle wins, the player would then
lose $110.00 on a stake of $110.00
Reverse Wager
A reverse wager is the same as two if - win wagers. This means that if
wager A wins, the bet goes to wager B. Likewise, if wager B wins, the bet
goes to wager A. On the other hand, if wager A loses, the bet does not go
to wager B. And again, if wager B loses, the bet does not go to wager A.
If wager A wins, the bet goes to wager B, but if wager B loses, the bet
does not go to wager A.
All standard reverse bets are double
action, therefore, in the event of a tie, the bet is still active.
When wagering on SAN FRANCISCO you must win by at least 7 points to win
the bet. When wagering on SEATTLE you cannot lose by more than 6 points to
win the bet. On the other hand if the line was a solid -6 and SAN
FRANCISCO wins by exactly 6 points then the bet is a "push", and the stake
or money is returned to your account.
Total (over/under)
Wagering on the total points combined on the game: To win on the
"over", the total score for each team will be added together and it must
exceed 40 points. When betting the "under", the total score for each team
is added together and cannot exceed 39 points to win the wager, if the
total score a "push" and the money is credited to your account.
Money Line Wagering
When wagering on the money line, you must win the game on the field in
order to win your bet. Wagering on SAN FRANCISCO $-290, just wagering on
them to win, the point spread does not matter. You must risk $290 to win
$100. Wagering on SEATTLE $+240, you stake $100 to win
$240.
Bots Bettting Rules
Internet wagers must be placed through the user interface provided by our company.
Any Internet wagering through other means, including the use of a "robot" player or
by manipulation of our systems, is strictly forbidden. If it is deemed that a robot was
utilized or the use of non-approved client software is detected, the offending party risks
forfeiture of funds and management reserves the right to invalidate all such wagers retroactively,
