Play credits only
Every balance is simulated. Credits have no cash value, cannot be purchased, withdrawn, or exchanged for anything. New accounts start at zero and receive credits only from an administrator, who can also adjust them at any time.
Stakes and limits
The house minimum is 1 credits per ticket. The house limit is not set. A personal limit set by an administrator replaces it. A limit of zero means no cap. A ticket over the limit, under the minimum, or larger than the balance is refused and nothing is deducted.
Lines and line changes
Lines refresh continuously from the odds feed. A ticket is accepted only at the exact price shown when it is submitted. If the line moves between selecting and placing, the ticket is refused and you are told the price changed. When the feed goes stale, placement locks across the board until fresh prices arrive.
When betting closes
Games take bets on the day they are played, by California time, and the next day's games open at midnight. Futures stay open for their whole run. Once a game starts, parlays, teasers, and round robins on it close. A single on a game in progress is accepted only at a live price the feed has just refreshed. First 5 innings bets close at the first pitch.
Straight bets
Point spread, moneyline, and total grade off the final score reported by the feed, and so do alternate spreads, alternate totals, and team totals from a game page. A spread or total that lands exactly on the number is a push and the stake is returned. A tie on a moneyline is a push. Returns include the stake, so a 100 credit ticket at +150 returns 250. First half lines grade on the half time score, and second half lines on the final score minus the half time score.
