Straight bets are the bread and butter of sports betting. They involve wagering on the outcome of a single event, such as predicting a team's victory, the total points scored, or the margin of victory.
Type of Straight Bet | Description |
---|---|
Moneyline | Betting on the winner of an event |
Spread | Betting on the margin of victory |
Total | Betting on the total number of points scored |
Parlays are a type of combination bet that involves linking multiple straight bets. The payout increases with each additional bet added, but so does the risk.
Type of Parlay | Description |
---|---|
2-Team Parlay | Linking two straight bets |
3-Team Parlay | Linking three straight bets |
Round Robin | Linking multiple straight bets in a circular fashion |
Exotic bets offer a more unconventional approach to wagering. They involve predicting specific outcomes or combinations of events within a single game or across multiple games.
Type of Exotic Bet | Description |
---|---|
Proposition | Betting on a specific event within a game |
Teaser | Adjusting the spread or total to increase or decrease the risk |
Pleaser | Combining multiple teasers into a single bet |
