Sports betting is a form of gambling that entails placing a wager, also known as a bet, on the outcome of a sporting event.
Types of sports betting?
Straight Bets: A betting line is set, which is often referred to as a point spread, and you can either bet on the favorite and give-up the points or place a bet on the underdog and get the points
Total Line bets: In this type of sports bet, a number is set for the combined final score of both teams and you then bet on the actual score staying “under” that total or going “over” the set number.
Money line bets: When you make a money line bet, you are picking a team to win straight-up without any point spread.
Parlay Bets: The act of grouping together two or more picks into one single bet is known as a parlay.
Teaser bets: A teaser bet is a twist on a parlay in that you are still grouping two or more picks together in a single bet, but you can now tweak the point spreads in your favor in return for a lower overall payout.
Head-to-Head bets: For sports such as NASCAR and professional golf, a common way to bet these events is to bet on the head-to-head results between just two competitors. Whichever one finishes the race or the tournament in the higher position wins. Many times a money line will be attached to each competitor as a way to handicap the match. This type of bet is very popular for sports such as these considering just how hard it is to pick an outright winner among a very large field.
