No action:
A wager made on a single team, total or proposition.
A wager coupling two or more teams, totals or Propositions.
Money line parlays pay according to true odds multipliers. Football and
basketball are pay table sports. Pay table sports, including sides, totals, first and
second halves, and quarters, where the money line attached to the point spread is
-110, pay according to the football and basketball pay tables. Mixed sport
parlays will be defined as a parlay including both pay table sports and non-pay
table sports. Mixed sport parlays pay according to the football and basketball
pay tables multiplied to the appropriate money lines. Pay table sports parlays
where the money line attached to the point spread of any leg in the parlay is
anything other than -110 will pay according to the “true odds differential” which
is derived by subtracting the pay table multiplier from the true odds multiplier.
This formula will be furnished upon request.
A wager coupling two or more teams, totals or propositions that allow the patron
to modify the pointspread or total by an established value.
A wager, that when the point spread is applied, results in a tie score.

a. Team vs. Team: this is an action wager, regardless of the starting pitcher.
b. Listed pitcher vs. Team/Team vs. Listed pitcher: this is an action wager on or against one
specified pitcher regardless of the other starting pitcher. The specified pitcher, however, must

purposes. If the bout is officially stopped prior to the bell, it is not considered a full round. When
wagering on over/under round propositions the following applies: one minute and thirty seconds
into a round constitutes a half round. For example: 1:30 into the 5th round equals 4 ½ rounds.
