Among the highlights of the changes are increased odds for popular parlay bets. Not only have the odds increased, but so to have the options. Customers can now wager on up to a 15-team parlay that pays $3,500 for every $1 bet. Teasers have also been increased, customers can now wager on a 15-team teaser, with winning odds depending on the point spread chosen.
Jamie Owen, BETonSPORTS plc’s Customer Service Manager, said the improved odds were offered after customer demand and the site’s desire to remain a leader in exotic wagering. “We have always been known for our extensive proposition bet options, and we had a lot of demand for exotic parlays and teasers,” he said. “We wanted to make improvements for the 2006 football season and we felt this was a great way to do that.”
Although the improvements are geared towards football betting, the site also introduced teasers for baseball betting and decreased the minimum wager both online ($1) and over the phone ($10). Maximum bets have also increased, with online wagers now accepted up to $10,000 online for straight bets and $5,000 for teasers.
Odds makers with BETonSPORTS plc also introduced a special “Blackjack Teaser” where customers can bet a 21-point teaser on NFL and College football games, the teasers are available from 3-team to 10-team teasers. The company also introduced new basketball teasers and a variety of “pleaser” wagering options.
