What is a Straight Bet? Straight bets are made when you choose a team and the point spread. The cost of the bet is 10/11 or $110 to win $100.
Example:
Toronto Raptors +6
Chicago Bulls -6
- If the straight bet is on the Bulls -6 then the Bulls must win by more than 6 points for the bet to win.
- If the straight bet is on the Raptors +6 then the Raptors cannot lose by more than 5 points for the bet to win.
- If the game lands on 6 pts. then your bet is a 'push' and will result in 'no action'. i.e: Final Score: Rap 90 and Bulls 96
