Sports Bet Payoffs

5Dimes offers several different ways to bet on sporting events, and with every wager there's the possibility of a different amount of payoff. The following helps explain the payoff system for each type of bet offered at the 5Dimes Sportsbook, and gives an informative and easy to understand explanation how each payoff works:

Straight Bets - For football and basketball the payoff is $100 for every $110 wagered unless otherwise noted. It is customary when making a bet that you put up the juice as part of your wager. Therefore, $110 will be wagered if you specify a $100 straight bet.

For sports involving no point spread (such as baseball or boxing), the money line (ML) determines the payoff. If the money line is a negative number, then you wager the amount of the money line for each $100 of your bet. For example, if the money line is -135, then you would wager $135 to win your $100 bet. If the money line is a positive number, then you will wager $100 to win the money line. For example, if the money line is +125, then you would wager $100 to win $125.

When entering an ML wager using the "base" amount, always enter the amount you wish to WIN when wagering on a favorite (negative number), and enter the amount you wish to RISK when wagering on an underdog (positive number). You also may choose to "risk" or "win" a specific amount regardless of whether you are wagering on a favorite or an underdog.

Totals - For football and basketball the payoff for a winner is $100 for every $110 wagered unless otherwise noted. It is customary when making a bet that you put up the juice as part of your wager. Therefore, $110 will be wagered if you specify a $100 total bet.

For baseball totals, the total points seldom move. Instead, applying a money line to the total creates line moves. Therefore, your payoff will depend on the money line at the time of the wager.

Parlays - Parlay wager payoffs depend on how many teams are selected and the odds on those teams. Payoffs for football and basketball at odds of -110 are shown in the table below. If there is a tie in one or more of your individual parts, then the wager steps down to the next lower number of teams.

You may choose your "risk" or "win" amount on each parlay played, with a minimum risk and win amount on a parlay. If a two-team parlay has a tie and a winner, then the parlay pays off at straight wager odds on the winning selection.

Teasers - Teaser wager payoffs depend on how many teams are selected and how many points are given to each team. Payoffs for football and basketball teasers are shown in the tables below. If there is a tie in one or more of your individual parts, then the wager steps down to the next lower number of teams. If a two-team teaser has a tie and a winner, then the teaser pushes, "No Action."

If a two-team teaser has a tie and a loser, the teaser loses. You may have your account set up for "Vegas" teaser rules (a tie and a loser = a TIE). By choosing this option, the account will not be eligible for bonuses of any kind. Only teasers played AFTER choosing this option will apply for the "Vegas" rules. Not all accounts will be eligible for this rule change.

5Dimes reserves the right to change teaser payouts on an individual account at any time without prior notice.

Pleasers - Pleaser payoffs depend on how many teams are in your wager. Payoffs are shown in the table below. If there is a tie in one or more of your individual parts, then the wager steps down to the next lowest number of teams.

If a two-team pleaser has a tie and a winner, then the pleaser pays even money.  The software will not automatically credit the even money payout.  You must contact customer service to have this even money winner credited.

If a two-team pleaser has two ties, then the wager is a push.
