- It depends on the type of card; they have all kinds. On some cards, ties
- win. On others, ties lose. Some cards have lines which end in half points
- only guaranteeing that there will never be ties.

- When you bet off the board (i.e., not betting parlay cards), ties or "pushes"
- result in no action. This means that if you had a straight bet (1 game), you
- simply get your money back. If you had a parlay (again, off the board), the
- parlay is reduced by one game. So, if you had a 3 team parlay in which you
- won 2 of the games and tied the third, your winnings would be equivalent to
- that of a 2 team parlay.

- Consider it done. By the way, someone in this group has been maintaining
- a sports betting FAQ. I've read it and it's got a lot of good information.
- I don't have a copy handy, but if you post a message requesting it, I'm
- sure someone will get it to you.
