Betting IF's

An interesting sports bet is called an IF bet. This particular bet consists of 2 straight bets connected by an "IF" clause. Basically what happens is if the 1st bet in the series wins or pushes then the sportsbook will process the second sports wager. This is an opportunity to place double action on a sports event if the 1st wager is successful.

Each of the straight bets must be of the same value or less than the 1st bet. If betting is used by many professional sports bettors in all four of the major professional American sports. Football betting, Basketball wagering, Baseball or hockey gambling. Only circled games do not permit "If" betting and there is no teaser points allowed.

The advantage of making an "If" wager on sports is that the bettor can get action on all the games he is interested in.
