Baseball General Rules
Official Game Time
Winners and Losers are official after 5 innings of play unless the home team is leading after 4½ innings. If a game is called or suspended, the score after the last full inning determines the winner. If the home team scores to tie - or takes the lead in the bottom half of the inning and the inning is not completed, the score at the time the game is called determines the winner. Money will be refunded if the home team ties the game and it is then suspended. Events will not carry over to the following day (unless otherwise specified). NorthWestsports.net does not recognize suspended games, protests, overturned decisions, etc. for betting purposes.
When betting on the total runs (over/under) the game must go 9 innings (8½ if the home team is ahead) to have action. Wagers on total runs will be refunded if a pitcher change occurs prior to both listed pitchers throwing at least one pitch. Rules for the run line wagers are the same as those for baseball totals.
Game must be played on scheduled date and site.
**During the MLB Playoffs, all wagers will have action until the game is played to completion, regardless of their duration or the day on which they end.**
Pitcher Selection
Baseball wagers will be accepted in the following manner:
Action
Team against team, regardless of the starting pitcher. "Action" bets will be computed by the opening price with the new pitcher. A pitcher is deemed a starting pitcher after throwing one pitch.
Overnight Baseball
Due to scheduling changes, an overnight game may become part of a doubleheader. When this occurs, all overnight bets are action if originally listed pitchers square off in either game.
One specified pitcher
A wager on or against a specified pitcher, regardless of the other starting pitcher.
Both specified pitchers (listed)
If starting pitchers are not exactly as listed on betting display board and/or your ticket, your bet will be deemed "no action".
Note:
If there is a pitching change prior to the game, money odds may be adjusted. If one scheduled pitcher starts against any unscheduled pitcher, "action" wagers will be computed by the opening price with the new pitcher. A pitcher is deemed a starting pitcher after throwing one pitch.
Betting on Baseball
Baseball Betting | Money Line
Betting on baseball is done by risking more money than the win amount on favorites (Mets) or risking less to win more on dogs or underdogs (teams not favored to win).

Baseball Betting | Totals Over/Under
There is a standard 20 cent line.
Example:
Mets 7 over -120
7 under Even Money

Baseball Betting | Run Line Betting
A baseball Run Line bet is a combination of the point spread and the money line. The team wagered on must win by the point spread while the amount wagered is determined by the money line odds.
Example:
Braves -1 1/2 +130
Pirates +1 1/2 -150

If a match is suspended or postponed, and not resumed within 12 hours from the actual scheduled start time, then wagers on the match will have no action and be refunded.
The exception being any wager on whether a team/player advances in a tournament, or wins the tournament, will have action regardless of a suspended or postponed match.
2. If the name of a player/team is misspelled, all bets will stand unless it is obvious it is the wrong object.
3. If in an official match a player plays with the wrong nickname or on a smurf-account, the result is still valid unless it is evident that it is not the player that was supposed to play that match.
4. All wagers will be settled using the official result as declared by the relevant governing body of the competition concerned.
5. If a draw option has not been made available, then extra time will count, if played.
6. Handicap betting: A spread in E-Sports can be Rounds/Maps or other counting measures dependent on the game. The spread will only be referred to as the spread. (For example, in Counter Strike the spread will be rounds won, while in Starcraft 2 the spread would be maps).
Handicapping is a way of making a sports contest more even and thus more interesting as a betting object. In E-Sports betting, this is done by awarding one of the teams/players, the underdog, some maps/rounds ahead.
If Player A wins the match by two maps or more, Player A bettors win and Player B bettors lose. If Player A wins by exactly one map or Player B wins, Player B bettors win and PlayerA bettors lose.
7. Total Betting: A total in E-sports can be Rounds/Maps or other counting measures dependent on the game. The total will only be referred to as the total.

Counter-Strike maps are exceptions to this rule, for which all moneyline, spread and total bets are canceled if a team retires or is disqualified before all scheduled map rounds are played.
Should a player/team withdraw before a tournament begins, or retire during a tournament, bets on that player/team to win the tournament, or to advance in tournament, will be canceled and monies refunded.
If the respective player/team withdraws before the tournament begins while being listed as �must start�, then wagers on whether a player/team advances in tournament or wins the tournament, will have no action and monies refunded � this applies to all players/teams participant in the tournament.
If the announced number of maps/rounds is changed all bets on the handicap or total are cancelled. Bets on the moneyline (outcome of the match) have action.
If a player or team receives a walkover or win by admin decision on at least one map, all wagers on the series (moneyline, spread and total) will be canceled and monies refunded. In CS:GO, if a team retires or is disqualified before all scheduled rounds on a map are played, all wagers on the series (moneylines, spread and total) will be canceled and monies refunded as well.
Tennis Rules
Tennis General Rules
At NorthWestsports.net we accept bets on all major tennis events using straight money lines.
Example:
Roger Federer -140 or risk $140 to win $100
Andy Roddick +120 or risk $100 to win $120
For wagering purposes, a tennis match must go at least 2 full sets or 3 full sets for Grand Slams (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open, MENS ONLY), there will be action. In the event of a retirement after 2 full sets (or 3 full set for a grand slam) the winner will be determined by who advances. Tennis times are not final. The times will be determined by our official source (Don Best). All matchup are action regardless of schedule changes. In the event of a past-posted wager, the wager will NOT have action regardless of the result. Wagers placed on matches will have action, even if the match is postponed, and completed on a later date (24Hr Rule does not apply for Tennis Matchups). In the event of a change of playing surface, venue, or outside to indoor court and vice versa, all bets will stand. In the case of a walkover situation, the outcome will be graded "no action".
Spread and Total Games Betting:
If a tennis match is not completed because of a player retirement or disqualification, all Spread (sets or games) and Total Games bets will be considered void, regardless of the score of the match. Such wagers will be cancelled and the monies refunded.
Soccer rules
Money line wagering on soccer offers a draw line as well as sides. 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.
The result of the game is decided after 90 minutes of play plus injury time. Extra time / overtime / golden goal is not taken into consideration for soccer bets unless otherwise stipulated.
If any match is abandoned or postponed all bets will be void unless the relevant market result has already happened. For example, "first goal scorer" betting will stand if a goal has already been scored.
Where a venue is changed, bets will stand unless the game is to be player at the original away team's ground in which case all bets will be void.
Asian Handicap
Many matches are handicapped in � and � intervals; both of which eliminate the possibility of a push since no one can score a half-goal. Quarter (�) handicaps split the bet between the two closest � intervals. For instance, a $1000 bet with a handicap of 1� is the same as betting $500 at 1� and $500 at 2. With � handicap bets, you can win and draw (win � of wager) or lose and draw (lose � wager). The �-goal handicap may be expressed by some bookmakers as "0 and �", or as "pk and �" (for "pick-em") - especially for bookmakers whose systems are designed for sports like American football and basketball, where bets have a handicap that is designed to make the odds as close to even as possible.
The bettor's stake is automatically divided equally and placed as 2 separate bets. This means that with a handicap point of 0-0.5 or 0 and �, half of your stake is on the 0 point handicap and the other half.
Example:
Match: Everton vs. Newcastle United - Handicap: Newcastle +1.0, +1.5
Explained: This handicap states that half of your bet goes on Newcastle to win, draw, or lose by less than 1 goal; and half on Newcastle to win, draw, or lose by less than 1.5 goals.
If the final score is Everton 1-0 Newcastle, half your bet would be refunded due to draw (Everton 1 - +1 Newcastle, i.e: Newcastle lost by exactly one goal). The second half would win (Everton 1 - +1.5 Newcastle, i.e: Newcastle lost by less than 1.5 goals).

Line Types
We offer 3 different types of lines for Hockey; The Canadian Line, 3 Way Option), and Straight Money Lines.
Hockey Betting | Canadian Line
The Canadian line is a combination of a goal and money line. The money line is a 20 cent line for straight bets.
Example:
Boston Bruins +1 1/2 -140
L.A. Kings -1 1/2 +120
If betting on the Kings the customer would give-up a goal and a half and would risk $100 to win $120, the Kings must win by at least two goals. If betting on the Bruins the customer would get a goal and half but would risk $140 to win $100.
Hockey Betting | Money Line
All money line options are prices to win the game outright, according to NHL rules.
Example:
Boston Bruins +110
L.A. Kings -130
If you select the Bruins to win the game, betting $100 would win you $110. If you select the Kings to win, you would need to risk $130 to win $100.
Hockey Betting | Totals Over/Under
Example:
Bruins +1 1/2 -140 5 OVER -130
Kings -1 1/2 +120
As well as having favorites on sides you also have favorites on totals, in this example over the total of five goals is indicated as the favorite in which case the customer would lay $130 to win $100. If betting on the game to go under five goals the customer goes with the underdog so he/she receives a larger return in this case risking $100 to win $110. If there is no money line indicated the total has a "FLAT" line or -110 whether betting over or under, in which case the customer would lay $110 to win $100 either way.

Parlay
Parlay Payoffs
Two or more teams or totals can be combined to make one wager. Circled games cannot be parlayed. Proposition plays, and future bets cannot be parlayed.
In case of tie or no action the parlay will revert to lower level payoff, except in a 2 team parlay where a tie reverts to a straight bet.
(!) All parlays are based on a true odds format except for parlay cards.
PARLAYS PAYOFFS
2 Teams 100 to win 260
3 Teams 100 to win 600
4 Teams 100 to win 1000
5 Teams 100 to win 2000

Example: 2 team teaser 4pts for $100
Lakers +4 +4 pts = the teased line is now +8
Knicks -3 +4 pts = the teased line is now +1
The payout in a 2 team teaser for 4 pts. is 10/12 In this case you will lay $120 to win $100.
If Bets
IF Bet
If Bets
If bets help customers who want to have action on more than one game but based on the result of the 1st wager. There are 2 types of if bets, "If Win Only" and "If Win/Ties or cancelled.
If Win Only example:
501. Dallas Cowboys -5 $110 to win $100
If Win Only
504. Carolina Panthers +4 $110 to win $100
If the Cowboys lose, the wager stops there and is scored a loser -$110; if the Cowboys win +$100 the wager continues to the Panthers wager; if the Panthers win, the wager is a $200 winner; if the Panthers lose the wager is a $10 loss. If the Cowboys win by exactly 5, then there will be no action on the Carolina Panthers and the 110 will go back to your account.
If Win/Ties or cancelled example:
501. Dallas Cowboys -5 $110 to win $100
If Win/Ties or cancelled
504. Carolina Panthers +4 $110 to win $100
In this case, customers will have action on the second part of the wager if Dallas wins by 5 or more points.
Reverse Bets
A Reverse wager connects two contestants in two separate IF bets. The first IF would connect contestant A to contestant B, the second bet would connect contestant B to contestant A.
Keep in mind Reverses are If bets where you need to select if win only or if win/ties or cancelled.
Example:
A customer wants a $100 Action Reverse with the New England Patriots -9, and the Denver Broncos +6… the play would look like this.
Part A: New England Patriots -9 Risking $110 to win $100, If that play wins or pushes then there will be action on the Denver Broncos +6 risking $110 to win $100. If the New England Patriots don't cover the -9 spread then there will be no action on the Denver Broncos +6.
AND
Part B: Denver Broncos +3 risking $110 to win $100, if that play wins or pushes then there will be action on the New England Patriots -9 risking $110 to win $100. If the Broncos don't cover the +6 spread then there will be no action on the Patriots -9.
The total risk amount is $220.00, but the player has a possibility of winning up to $400.00.
Action Points
Action Points are available for football and basketball. Action Points are for the bettor who not only can predict which team will win the game, but by how many points. Your action point wager is capped from 1 point to a maximum of 10 points, and the wager you risk cannot exceed your available balance. On this type of wager, you risk $110 for every $100 wagered.
Example:
Atlanta Hawks 191
Houston Rockets -5
Suppose you wager $100 a point on the Houston Rockets and ask for a cap of 10 points. Houston must win by at least 5 points, and for every point over the point spread of 5 that they win by, you win $100. You have the chance of winning between $100 and $1,000.
If Houston wins by 9 points, your net winnings would be $400. On the other hand, if Houston fails to cover the point spread, you risk $110 for every point that they fall short of the 5-point spread. You can also use totals either over or under, or the underdog in the game, getting 5 points.
Action points can only be placed through our call center.
Money Line
Money Lines
Football and Basketball betting you are given the option to bet a point spread or a moneyline bet. With money lines you wager which team is going to win. Disregarding the point spread.
Example:
Orlando Magic -280
Houston Rockets +240
If you wager on Orlando -280 you lay $280 to win $100.
If you wager on Houston +240 you lay $100 to win $240.
The line values are determined base on the point spread. When betting money lines you are betting on a team to win the game outrigh
Open Wagers
Open wagers allow the customer to play teasers or parlays making one selection at different times or even different days.
Example: 3 Team Parlay $100 to win $600
Cowboys -8
Dolphins -14
OPEN*
* Any open wager left unfilled/pending for more than 1 week will be cancelled. No open spots on 10 pt teasers. No open spots on 4 team or more parlays.
* The minimum amount for a bet placed online with 1 or 2 open spots is $50 and customer must call to fill the open spots.
Round Robins
Round Robins
Round Robin is a wager in which three to ten teams or totals are combined into a single play and all possible combinations of Parlays chosen by the customer. Any pick that can be parlayed may be placed in a Round Robin.
Because the Round Robins are turned into Parlays, the same rules apply as in a regular Parlay:
• If one of the teams loses, all parlay combinations with that team are a loss.
• If one team pushes, then all combinations with that team would turn into the lower Parlay or Straight bets risking the same amount of the Parlay.
• Open spots are not allowed in Round Robins.
• Points may be bought on as many picks as the customer wants in a Round Robin, as long as the Round Robin is broken into only 2 or 3 team combinations.
Also, whatever the player risks on the Round Robin must be applied to each of the 2 Parlay combinations
Example:
New York Knicks +7 -110
Houston Rockets +8 -110 - A $50 RR, in combinations of 3 by 2's
Cleveland/Denver Over 188 -110
1st Parlay 2nd Parlay 3rd Parlay
Knicks +7 Knicks +7 Houston +8
Houston +8 Cleveland / Denver Over 188 Cleveland / Denver Over 188
Risk $50 / Win $130 Risk $50 / Win $130 Risk $50 / Win $130
A 3 team Round Robin for $50 has 3 possible 2 team Parlay combinations, so the maximum risk would be $150; each parlay would win $130, so the maximum win would be of $390.
