Definition
Futures are single wagers placed on the
outcomes of events, which are determined at sometime in the
future. For example, a future may involve picking the winner
of the NFL championship, the Stanley Cup, or the World Series.
Payouts
Payouts for a futures bet depend on the odds given by the
house for each bet you have placed. Usually futures bets are
represented by basic, fixed odds (although sometimes a moneyline
or a multiplier may be featured) with your payout being dictated
by those posted odds.
To calculate your payout, simply translate the odds (a moneyline
such as -110, -180, +140 etc., or fixed odds such as 3/1)
to a multiplier (the Payoff Price plus one). Take the multiplier
and multiply this by your bet to determine your Payout or
Win Amount (Payoff Price plus your original bet).
Rules
1. Wagers must be on the outcome of a single event or game.
2. The team wagered on must win the league or tournament.
All wagers have action regardless of relocation or name changes.
