| VIPsports is proud to offer Halftime Wagering, both online and over the telephone. Halftime wagering is simply a wager only on the score of the first, or second half of a contest.

|
|
|
- First half lines will be offered on all NBA and NCAA contests.
|
|
- Second half lines will be offered on all NBA and the majority of NCAA contests, and will be offered within 5 minutes of the end of the first half of the contest.
|
|
|
|
- Wagers may be parlayed to other contests, but a first half wager may not be parlayed to any other wager from the same game.
|
|
- No teaser plays or buying of points is allowed on Halftime Wagers.
|
|

| Quarter Wagers |
|
|
|
| VIPsports is proud to offer wagering on individual quarters of selected contests, both online and over the telephone. Wagering on quarters is simply a wager only on the score of the first, second, third or fourth quarter of a contest. These lines will be offered on marquee events, such as playoff and championship games. The line offered will be a pointspread, a moneyline, or a combination of the two, but the wager applies only to the score of the quarter specified. |
|
|
|
| Overtime scoring is not included in Fourth Quarter wagers. |
|
|
|
| Moneyline Wagers |
|
| VIPsports is proud to offer moneyline wagering on Basketball, both online and over the telephone. Moneyline Wagering is simply wagering on the contest based on a given price rather than a pointspread. The team wagered on just has to win the game. |
|
| Example |
| A player could choose one of two wagers on the following matchup: L.A. Lakers -200 at Portland Trailblazers +180. If the Lakers win, the player laid $200.00 to win $100.00. If Portland wins, the player who bet $100.00 wins $180.00. |
|
|
- Moneylines will be offered on most NBA and NCAA contests.
|
- Moneyline wagers may be parlayed to other contests, but a moneyline wager may no be parlayed to any other wager from the same game.
|
|
|
| Point Buying |
|
| VIPsports is proud to offer Point Buys. This is a method of allowing the bettor to improve the pointspread of a basketball contest by actually "buying points" for the team he/she wants to wager, side or total. Bettors can buy points in 1/2 point increments up to 3 points, depending on the contest. Each 1/2 point costs the bettor an additional 10% vigorish. |
|
| Example |
|
| The L.A. Lakers are playing the Portland Trailblazers, and the line on the game is the Lakers -10, with a total of 189. If a $100 wager is placed on the Lakers -10 with a 1/2 point buy, the player has a wager on the Lakers -9 1/2 points, and must put up $120 to win $100, instead of the usual $110 to win $100. If the player, for example, requests a full 1 point buy to move the pointspread down to -9, he/she would have to put up $130 to win $100. |
|
| Conversely, the bettor may also buy points on the Trailblazers side, and get the line at plus 10 1/2 or 11 points, with the same increase in vigorish. |
|
|
| Bettors may also buy points for basketball totals. In this particular game, bettors could buy an "over" wager with a maximum line move down to 188, or an "under" wager with a maximum line move up to 190. |
|
| Point Buying up to a maximum of 3 points will be offered on all NBA and NCAA contests. |
| Point Buying will not be offered on halftime, quarter or moneyline wagers. |
|
