Money Line bets:

When betting on the money line, you are betting that the fighter will win straight up in order to win your bet. Betting on Arturo Gatti -600 means you must risk $600 to win $100.

Betting on the Draw:

When betting on the outcome of a fight to be a draw, the fight must go to the fight cards and the judges must declare a Draw for your bet to be a winner. Disqualifications will not be considered as winners in regards to Draw bets.

Total Round bets:

A total listed on a fight represents the total number of completed rounds. The halfway point of a round is at exactly one minute and thirty second. 4½ rounds would be one minute and thirty seconds of the 5th round. When betting on the total rounds that a fight will last, you must take the OVER or the UNDER. Regardless of who is declared the winner, the round in which the fight ends is the final round. Using the above example, if Arturo Gatti is knocked out more than halfway through 6 th round, all bets on the OVER would be considered winners.

A boxing match is declared official after the bell starting the first round has rung.

Each round is three minutes long: a half-round is defined as 90 seconds.

If the amount of scheduled rounds in a fight is changed, the fight winner, fighter wins only, draw options, fight totals, will go / won't go, inside distance, exact round, knock-out, and decision props will all be No Action.

A wager on a fighter to win by "KO" wins if the selected fighter wins by KO, TKO, or DQ.

All matches must start within 7 days of originally scheduled time for wagers to have action.
