What is Line Betting?
This is where one team is given a certain amount of points start and the other team must concede the same amount of points, known as the line. To be declared the winner under this form of betting, the team conceding the start must win by more than the start, while the team in receipt of the start must either win the match outright or lose by a margin which is less than the start. For example, if you back a team that has a line of -10.5 your team must win by 11 points or more. If you back the other team that has the line of +10.5 your bet will be successful if your team does not lose the match by any more than 10 points. The start in most line betting has a half point included so that no draws can occur. However, some events exclude the half point from the start (called a “flat line”). In this case when the winning margin by the team conceding the start exactly equals the start (known as a “push”) all bets are refunded .
