Reverse Bets

Reverse Bets are simply "if bets" that work in both directions. 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. An "if bet" (double action) follows the sequence "if Team 1 wins, ties or cancels then Team 2." Placing a reverse bet will include that sequence and its opposite: "if Team 1 wins, ties or cancels then Team 2" AND "if Team 2 wins, ties or cancels then Team 1." As you can see, Reverse Bets contain two "if bet" sequences, and you must lay down an equal amount for each one: an if bet for $110 is $220 as a reverse bet.

The advantage of playing Reverse Bets is that you are still able to limit your exposure to losses while expanding the possible combinations that will produce winning wagers.
