Placing a Wager
There are different ways to place wagers within the different
sports, both individually and geographically. North American
betting is differerent from wagering on European sports while
betting on a hockey game is different from betting on a basketball
game. Here is a basic outline for betting on all sports types:
First choose the sport you wish to bet on. Then click on the
pull-down menu that contains the words "Select A Bet Type" to
choose which kind of wager you want to place. Select how much
you wish to wager by entering it into the wager box beside the
pull-down menu. Now scroll through the available games and choose
which team or teams you wish to bet on. To choose a team click
on the small box beside the line and you will have chosen that
team. If you are making a combination bet, known as a parlay
or teaser, you must choose as many teams as is necessary to
complete the multiple team wager. This is determined by the
type of bet you choose.
After you are sure of your selection, go to the top and click
on the "Place Bet" button. This will now place your wager on
the right side of the screen, which is your betting ticket.
If you try to place a wager and a red bar comes up on your betting
ticket you have made a mistake in selecting your bet. Read the
message in the red bar and it will inform you of the error and
give you appropriate instructions to correct the mistake.
Before you submit your betting ticket please make sure to reload
or refresh your page so you can see the most current lines.
The lines can change often and quickly, so make sure the lines
are where you want them before you submit your betting ticket.
If you find that one or more of the wagers on your betting ticket
is not what you want, simply click the "Cancel" or "Cancel All"
button and the wagers will be dropped from your betting ticket.
Once completely satisfied with the wager you have made, go to
the bottom of the betting ticket and type the word "Yes" in
the confirmation box and then click on the "Submit" button.
Your wager will now be submitted. A confimation notice will
appear and you can view your wagers in the "Pending Wagers"
section.

2.40 |
| Bayern Munich |
2.00 |
If you bet $100 on Bayern Munich, $100 will be
taken from your sportfanatik account. If your bet is successul
(Bayern wins), your sportfanatik account will be credited with
100 * 2.10 = $210. Which means you won $110.
A customer can also bet whether the combined number
of goals scored by the two teams in the game will be over or
under the total set by the oddsmaker.
For example, if the total is 3 and you believe that the combined
points scored by the two teams will exceed that number, you
would bet over 3. In that case you will win $10 for every $11
you bet.
