I have never learned how these work. Could someone give me a situation in how you would use a reverse bet? Thanks in advance

Kind of like a double if bet. You have team a and team b. If either one of those bets wins, you automatically have a bet on the other side.

Reverses Wagers

Reverse wagers are always double action IF bets.

Win Reverse and Action Reverse Bets are simply two to five straight bets "If Bets" joined together that work in both directions of the "If" clause. The risk is the same for all the wagers in the reverse, and you are not allowed to buy points on a reverse wager.

When you make a Win Reverse Bet, you ONLY have action on the second part of the wager IF the first team wins. If the first team ties, or is cancelled there is no action on the second part of the wager.

When you make an Action Reverse Bet, IF the first team wins, ties or cancels, you still have action on the second part of the wager.

Example:

Part A Part B
Packers -5 $110 to win $100 Packers -5 $110 to win $100
IF ( win, tie or cancel ) IF ( win, tie or cancel )
Bears -14 $110 to win $100 Bears -14 $110 to win $100

Payout
If both teams win +$400
One win, one loss -$120
Both teams lose -$220
Push +$200

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 > If Y wins, ties or cancels then X.

If X wins, ties or cancels then Z > If Z wins, ties or cancels then X.

If Y wins, ties or cancels then Z > 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 $100.00, then the actual amount of money that you would be risking would be $660.00, or $110.00 on each of the "if" bets, in order to win a maximum of $1,200.00. 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.

Juice is 20% , if both teams lose. $240 will be lost. If both teams win thats plus $400 for you. If one team win and one lose, you lose $120.

If one team win and another tie, you win half $200.

Assumming you're wagering $100 on reverse. It doesn't have wager 2 teams for reverse.
It can also be sides and totals or totals and totals or sides and sides.

The reverse is the wager where you maximize your earnings, while minimizing your exposure..When a player is chasing the reverse is the way to catch up..The only problem with that is its tough enough to win one game sometimes, now go win 2..The reverse is a BMs dream wager..Hookups are tough to hit..The best wager is a 2 team teaser in a reverse. Its an exciting wager..You need all the teams to be different ones..Pretty soon they will be throwing the pigskin around..

Ace - Round Robins are nice with 3 teams. Instead of doing a 3-team parlay, you do 3 2-teamers instead. You win money if 2 of the 3 teams hit. If 2 teams lose, you lost all your parlays.

Or a three team reverse box.


If I like three underdogs in baseball, this is what I play. You could possibly split on a reverse and end up paying nothing for that.
