Let's say you have exhausted all of your available credit on Sunday morning's NFL games and the later games are about to start.

You just got a “hot tip” on one of these games but, you are still out of credit because all your money is tied up on the current games in progress.

At Heritage Sports this isn't a problem. All you have to do is give us a call or go to our web site and you can make an “If bet” or as we call them a “Leverage play” off of an existing wager.

If you are on our web site, all you have to do is select the wager type you want, then select the teams and right before typing the amount of your wager, click where it says “Leverage Play Options”, you will then see a list of all your pending wagers that you can use to make a “Leverage Play” with and how much money you can wager.

So, don’t worry about waiting until the game is over.

When making a “Leverage Play” be advised that you WILL have action on the 2nd leg, or any ensuing leg, if the amount risked plus the amount won from the 1st leg is enough to cover the 2nd leg.

Example:

You have the following 3 Team Parlay:

If either the Pats – 7 or the Rams – 3 ties and the other 2 teams win you WILL still have action on the 2nd leg because the risk ($100) + the amount won ($260) = $360 which is enough to cover the risk amount on the 2nd (ensuing) leg.

If 2 of the teams had tied and you had 1 winner then the 2nd leg WILL NOT go because you won’t have enough to complete the 2nd leg bet of $300 (you would only have $100 + $91 = $191). Again – there would be NO BET on the 2nd leg.

If you have any questions on “Leverage Plays” please contact our Wagering Department.

Let's say you have $1,000 in your account at Heritage Sports.

You love 4 teams and so you put it all on a 4 team parlay - $1,000 to win $11,000. Your first 3 games are day games and they all win.

Your final game is the Sunday Night NFL game. You have the Rams –3 1/2. Now if the Rams cover you win $11,000. If they don't you lose $1,000. You basically have the Rams – 3 1/2 $1,000 to win $11,000 (because your other 3 teams won).

Well, since the first 3 games have finished, you've had some time to think that you may not be willing to “ make it or break it ” for $11,000 on just 1 play. Yes you love the Rams but $11,000 is a lot of cheese!

You can decide to HEDGE your bet with us by wagering, for example, $3,000 on the Rams opponent + 3 1/2. This way if the Rams lose you would still make $2,000 (the $3,000 you bet less the $1,000 you lose on the parlay). But if the Rams win, you will make $7,700 (the $11,000 less the $3,300 you bet as a Hedge on the Rams opponents). YOU CAN'T LOSE!!!!

Here is the problem with this scenario at other sportsbooks. If all you had was the $1,000 you bet on the 4 teamer, you have no credit to bet the $3,000 on the Rams opponent.

This is where Heritage Sports “Hedge Play” helps you. We will allow you to “hedge play” the opponent for $3,000 because if it loses, you still win $11,000 on the Rams which would allow you to pay the $3,300 from your $3,000 “hedge play.” If the Rams lose, you will win $3,000 on that bet. You just can’t lose with Heritage Sports “Hedge Plays!”

The above is an example of the many options Heritage Sports offers, where you get more “ bang for your buck.”
