Most March Madness Sports bets are placed on the traditional 110-100 basis. That means you risk $110 for every $100 you want to win or the equivalent. It could be $11 for $10, $55 for $50, etc. The 10 percent is the vigorish that is associated with every bet you make. Sometimes with totals you will see a different amount but always remember that with any number you see it is based on the $100 basis.
That doesn't mean you have to bet $100 though. You can bet any amount you want and the sports betting software will take care of all the calculations.
Straight Bets 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”.
Example: Final Score: Rap 90 and Bulls 96
