6.3 A multiple bet, or a parlay, is a cumulative bet linking a number of separate outcomes. It is dependant on all of these wagers winning together and is otherwise calculated as lost. The winnings amount to stake times the product of all the accumulated odds.

6.4 System bet N out of M is an advanced version of a combination bet with a total amount of similar-sized combination bets (N) from a fixed amount of outcomes (M). The system bet is characterized by the same stake amount per combination bet and the same number of outcomes in every combination bet.

The total winning in the system bet equals a sum of winnings of all the combination bets included in the system.

7. Types of bets

7.1 All bets apply to regular time, unless otherwise noted. If accepted with overtime, this is provided on the line (e.g. Incl. OT in ice hockey). Exceptions: basketball, American football (NFL) - wherein outcome initially includes overtime. The outcome is acknowledged as soon as the regular time is played (90 minutes in football, 60 minutes in ice hockey). A bet is considered void and is paid out 1:1 if the event was not played or was cancelled. In case of any dispute the results of official match protocol will be definitive.

7.2 Match odds (1X2). Bet on match outcome by choosing from the three options: win 1, draw X, and win 2. Your win is the product of stake times odds for the outcome.

7.3 Under/Over. Betting on the total number of goals, points, games, etc. to be scored. For winning one has to guess if the total turns out over or under the given number.

7.4 Asian handicap. Handicap stands for the number of goals/points to be added to the goals/points of a team for taking into the bets account. Handicap can be positive, negative or equal to zero. Case 1. Handicap is integer or divisible by 0.5 To determine the bet result, the goals/points actually scored by selected team are subtracted from (negative handicap) or added to (positive handicap) the teams handicap (second teams handicap is not taken into account). If handicapped outcome turns out in favour of the team selected, the bet is considered won. In the event of a draw, the stake is returned. If, for instance, the first team was betted with -1 handicap and the match was over with final score: a) 0:0, the bet would be lost, b) 1:0, - returned, c) 2:0, - won. In the case of a positive handicap of +1 and final match score: a) 0:1, the bet would be lost, b) 0:0, - won, c) 1:0, - won. Case 2. Handicap divisible by 0.25 but not 0.5, and not integer. Bet is calculated as two bets at half stake with equal odds and nearest values of regular handicaps (integer or divisible by 0.5, e.g. +0 and +0.5 for +0.25, -1 and -0.5 for -0.75). If both half-bets are winning, pay-out is calculated at the bets odds (O). If one of the half-bets wins and the other gets a return, pay-out is calculated against odds = (O+1)/2. If one of the half-bets loses and the other is a return, the odds will be equal to 0.5. If both halves lose, the whole bet is considered lost. Calculation example. A match Reading - Bolton. On the sportline: Reading (+0.25) Reading (+0.25) 1.70 Bolton (-0.25) Bolton (-0.25) 2.00 The table below explains calculation: Result Reading (+0.25) Bolton (-0.25)   Draw (1.70+1)/2=1.35 0.5 Reading: 1st half (result 0.5) wins, 2nd half is returned (result +0). Bolton: 1st half (-0.5) loses, 2nd half (-0) is returned. Win Reading 1.70 0 Reading: Both halves win (+0 and +0.5). Bolton: Both halves lose (-0 and -0.5). Win Bolton 0 2.00 Reading: Both halves lose (+0 и +0.5). Bolton: Both halves win (+0 и +0.5).
