| HOCKEY In the category "all-other-stops", the whistle that ends the period or the end of the game does not count. It includes items like repair to the ice and stopped along the boards. Any changes in the game will be posted here. |
| FOOTBALL When the ball is on three and a half yard line, it will go to the next category which is "4--8 yards". The same applies to the eight and a half yard count---it will be in the "9--15 yard" category. The rest of the cells are treated equally. The score is for each quarter. Changes in the game will appear in this section.
|
| BASKETBALL The "free throws" are not counted in the second column. Only the points scored while the play is on. They are counted for the score at the end of the quarter. "All-other-stops" are the ones that are not in any of the columns. There will be changes in this game so check this area.
|
| BASEBALL In the first row there is a category called "fair hit". This means that an "out" on base or a fly ball "out" is still called a hit. Considering the odds, it's a good bet. If it isn't a good bet, we'll change it in time for the World Series. In the third row, bet on one runner at a time. |
| CURLING After each throw the rock will be in one of the cells marked in row one. The guard area and out-of-bounds are of course, in the out- of-circle cell. The top row of checkboxes in a cell are for the home-team so this should be established before the game. The score in the third row is for the whole game. |
| GOLF Type in the hole being played for each golfer. You could also keep a running score for each golfer. Items like a delay of game will be included in the D. bogey category. 6+ means 6 strokes or more. 2--5 is that many strokes. |
| TENNIS The top row is always for the player that is doing the "serve". Fill in the first to serve textarea for refernce. If the game goes to over-time then you can place your bets in the last row. The 9+ category wins if it goes to more over-time. |
| BOWLING A strike in 10 pin Bowling is 10 points and the possible total score is 300 points. The 5 pin game has a total of 450 points because a strike is counted as 15 points. Fill in the score numbers to fit you game. |
| VOLLEYBALL The five choices in row one is for the team that is doing the "serve". If a point is not made, the other team will serve and again the choices are in the first row. When the game goes to over-time, settle the bets for the regular game and go to the score board at the bottom. |
| SOCCER Make your choices between the whistle stops. A "fault" (yellow flag) does not stop the play so you can play it with other choices. Type in the "home team" and "visitors" textarea for reference. Settle the bets for the score during half-time and the end of the game. |
