Step 1
Choose the teams you wish to bet on for the week (or any length of time permitted by your betting resource). If bets are most commonly done for games that all occur on the same day.
-
Step 2
Pick the first game you wish to place a wager on. This is almost always the first game scheduled for the day as the outcome of that game will usually be decided before others.
-
Step 3
Elect to make that bet an if bet, and choose the first "if." If there are going to be more than one if bet then choose the bets in scheduled order. It should also be noted that you may need to choose them in the order in which one bet would cover another (by winnings and by price of bet). In other words, you could have an if bet on a game conditional to winning a certain amount from an earlier game.
-
Step 4
Complete the total if bet chain. An if bet chain can be as short or as long as you're willing to make it. Four or five is usually the upper limit on an if bet.
-
Step 5
Confirm your NCAA if bets and keep track of the progress of your bets throughout the day. You should also verify that your if bets are being processed as the day goes on.
