Reverses
These
are simply two straight bets joined together into
If Bets that work in both directions of the if
clause, the risk is the same for all the wagers
in the reverse, they are used for all the major
sports except circled games, and no buying points
is allowed.
All
reverse bets are double action: the remaining
bets in the sequence will be placed if the preceding
bet is a win, a "push," or is cancelled for any
reason. The same rules apply to the reverse if win as apply to the regular if win. An "if bet" (double action) follows
the sequence "if X wins, ties or cancels then
Y." Placing a reverse bet will include that sequence
and its opposite: "if X wins, ties
or cancels then Y" AND "if Y wins, ties or cancels
then X." As you can see, a reverse bet contains
two "if bet" sequences, and you must lay down
or risk an equal amount for each one: an if bet
for $110 is $220 as a reverse bet.
A
two team reverse bet merely reverses the order
of an initial "if bet"; however, if there are
three or more teams, then the reverse bet would
be broken down or "boxed" into all the
possible two team if bets using those three teams
and each of those if bets would be reversed. The
sequence that would be used would be, as follows:
If
X wins, ties or cancels then Y
à If Y wins, ties or cancels
then X
If
X wins, ties or cancels then Z
à If Z wins, ties or cancels
then X
If
Y wins, ties or cancels then Z
à If Z wins, ties or cancels
then Y
Therefore,
a three team reverse is actually going to be six
separate if bets, or twelve separate straight
bets. If each of the teams in this reverse
were for $100, than the actual amount of money
that the customer must risk would be $660, or
$110 on each of the if bets, in order to win a
maximum of $1,200. The more teams
selected in the reverse the more possible combinations
there will be and the higher the amount of money
that must be risked.
Example
Reverses are a combinations of 2 If Bets . You
can use multiple sports in your combinations.
