For example, the player would lay $55 to win $50 or $110 to win $100, etc.

Like the pointspread, the player wagers $11 for every $10 he wishes to win or multiples thereof, unless stated otherwise.

All points scored in overtime are counted in the final score. The player can wager that the final score will be more or less than this number. The number next to the pointspread (42) is the Total for the game (also called Over/Under is the combined number of points scored by both teams). If Philadelphia wins by exactly three points, it is considered a wagering tie or “push” for wagering purposes and all straight bets on the pointspread are refunded. If the player bets Washington (+3), Washington must win the game outright or lose by two points or less for the player to win. Philadelphia must win the game by more than three points for the player to win his bet on Philadelphia. In the example, Philadelphia (-3) is favored by 3 points. The home team is always listed on the bottom, unless otherwise specified. The pointspread on the electronic display boards and wagering sheets is always listed next to the favorite.
