If Bets

By : JAR

When players and gamblers talk about gambling, they often forget that most people do not understand their language, for this reason, when a beginner wants to get involved on the betting world first, its necessary he study a lot about jargon used by professionals.

One of the principal inconveniences about not to understand the professional gamblers vocabulary, is when they are talking about some kind of betting, we could feel lost in the conversation. For this reason we recommend to be well informed about gambling, before star on it.

There are a curious type of bet that is used by some players who are interested on the money management, some of them are beginners and want to have a safety bet. This betting style is an excellent option for those who care about good money management. And is called "If Bets".

Many inexperienced players ask me, what is an "if bet"?

Well, an If bet is a bet type where the wager is based on a condition so, as it name indicated, the wager is placed depending on the word "if".

A good example to explain better this is:

Imagine that you are interested on place a bet on certain team(call it team A), considering you bet on it, you must make an if question. In this case: if the team A wins.

So, if "A" team wins, the original bet amount is carried forward on a different team (team B). This can be done up to a maximum of seven teams.

Some players consider the if bets as a consecutively network where every next bet will depends on the previous wager. (often 2 to 5 straight plays attached by a condition)

There are two types of if bets:

The fist type is the Simple: where the player will have action on the second bet only if the first win, and thus the straight betting.

Second, the Double: where the player will have action on the second play if the first WIN, TIE OR CANCEL THE GAME, thus the straight betting. In case the wager is a loss, the chance of bet will stop.

The amount in both types of "lf bets" should be equal or less than the last one.
