Combination Bet

When a wagerer places a number of end-to-end bets multiplying after each event, with the possible return as well as the associated risk, it is the ‘combination’ bet. All three individual bets must win for the bet to win. If any of these loses, the wagerer loses the entire bet.

Consider an example of a wagerer who chooses Lions to win the AFC West, Tigers to win the AFC East and Bears to win the AFC North with individual bet of $10. Now all these three must win for the bet to win otherwise the bet is a loser.

Run Line Bet

‘Run line’ is a bet where the favorite team has to cover a 1 ½ run spread. It involves a spread of the odds change, so the smart wagerer will consider the odds-change to maximize his potential return.

Consider an example:

Moneyline Total Run line
• Tigers + 110 7.5 +1.5
• Lions -120 -1.5

Here, the wagerer can only win the bet if the Lions must win by 2 runs and the Tigers must not lose by 2 runs.

Round Robin

When a wagerer bets on the round robin, he bet on multiple parlays or teasers at once. Here the wagerer can choose between 3 and 8 teams and combine them in either teasers or parlays of 2 to 6 teams.

Suppose a wagerer is in favor of Buffalo, Tigers and Bulls; he can have a 3-teamer with Buffalo Tigers Bulls, and 2-teamers with Buffalo Tigers, Buffalo Bulls, and Tigers Bulls.

Future Bet

As the name implies, ‘future’ bet is a bet which is placed very much before the sports event has to take place. Future bets offer larger payouts which increases the difficulty of picking a winner.

Consider an example of a wagerer who placed a future bet on the Bulls to win the Super Bowl during the preseason.

Proposition Bet

Proposition bet, also known as prop bet is a bet where a wagerer bets on key sporting events like which team will win the toss or which player will score first.

Suppose a wagerer placed a proposition bet with 6/1 odds on Eagles to score first in the Super Bowl.

Half Time Bet

‘Half time’ is the bet which can only be placed in the second half of the sporting event.

Suppose if a wagerer wants to place a half time bet, he will place bet in the second half on his favorite team to win.

Totals Bet

‘Totals’, also called “Over/Under” is the bet where the wagerer bets on the total scored points, regardless of who wins or loses.

Suppose that the total points scored in a given game is decided to be “50” points, whereas the payout of winning bet is “–120”, i.e;

• Over +50.0 –120
• Under +50.0 –120

Now, if a wagerer thinks there will be more than 50 points scored in the game, he bets the ‘over’. And If a wagerer thinks that the there will be less than 50 points scored in the game, he bets the ‘under’. A winning wagerer will get $100 for every $120 bet.

Incase, if the total scored points is exactly 50, then the bet is believed to be a push. All bets will be canceled and the stakes will be returned.

Teaser Bet

‘Teaser’ is a bet that’s very much alike parlay and allows the wagerer to bet on 2 to 7 teams together in one bet, with an attuned or teased point spread of each individual bet. If all the favorite teams win, the wagerer wins the bet or in other case if any team loses, the wagerer loses the bet.

Suppose a wagerer placed a two-team 9-point teaser on the Buffalos and Rams. If any one of these teams’ bet loses, the wagerer will lose the bet after applying an extra 9 points in his favor.

Straight Bet

If a wagerer chooses a team and a point spread, it is called a ‘straight’ bet. The payout of straight bet is 10/11 or $110 to win $100.

Suppose two teams Lions and Bears are listed at:
• Lions –5
• Bears +5

Here, Lions are the favorite so they cannot lose by more than 4 points for the bet to win. If the game ends on 5 points, then the bet will be voided.

ACTION POINTS

When a wagerer bets on the ‘action points’, he will either get paid for every point his favorite team covers the point spread or, he will be charged for every uncovered point spread. This type of bet can only be played on a point spread and specifically available for football and basket ball.

Consider an example:

• Eagles 187
• Hawks –5

Now if the wagerer bets $100 a point the Eagles with a cap of 10 points. Then the Eagles have to win by at least 5 points, and the wagerer will get $100 for every point over the point spread of 5. Conversely, if the Eagles do not cover the point spread, the wagerer will have to pay $110 for every point that they lose of the 5-point spread.

Moneyline Bet

“Money line” is a bet which is exclusively on the result of the game, regardless of the spread. The money line generally indicated by the word “even” and can either be a positive or negative number. But usually the negative number represents favorite team. It represents the placed odds, and is always based on $100. This will be paid to the winning team.

Suppose two teams; Georges and Jacks are listed at:
• Georges –250
• Jacks 200

The negative (–) sign opposite to Georges, indicates it as the favored team to win. Here the wagerer will win $100 for every $250 bet on Georges. If the bet is on the Jacks, wagerer would get $200 for every $100 bet.

Parlay Bet

When a wagerer bets on ‘parlay’, he bets on two or more games together in one bet. Parlay offers a great benefit to its wagerer by giving a high return for a comparatively low investment. A ‘four-way parlay’ or more parlay indicates the number of involved games in the bet. It also indicates how high the payout will be. The more the number of involved games, the higher the payout will be.

Suppose a wagerer placed a four-way parlay on the Tigers, Jupiters, Leopards, and Rockers. If all the three teams win, the wagerer will get $400 for every $100 bet. But incase if any one of these teams loses the game, the wagerer will lose his parlay bet.

Point Spread Bet

‘Point spread’ is the bet where there are two teams; one team with a negative (–) number and the other with a positive (+) number. The negative number indicates the favorite team, whereas the positive number is for the underdog team.

Now, suppose there are two teams, Arizona and San Francisco which are listed at:

Away Home
• Arizona –8.0 –120
• San Francisco +8.0 –120

In the above example, “–8.0” is opposite to the Arizona which clearly indicates that they are the favorite. If the bet is on the Arizona to win, they must win by more than three points. Here San Francisco are the underdog as the “+8.0” points are opposite to it. So, if the bet is on the San Francisco to win, they must either win, or not lose by more than ‘8’ points. Here, the second number opposite to each team is showing the payout of the winning bet. This means that a winning wagerer will get $100 for every $120 bet. The bet will be fallen on the spread, if Arizona wins by exactly “8” points. In this case, all bets will be canceled and the stakes will be returned.

In the world of online sports betting, one of the regularly used features of a bookmaker is the “Free Bet” offer which is used as a sign-up bonus when new customers register with them.

If you’re new to the betting world, you may not know of this type of reward for joining a bookmaker online but as you become more familiar and comfortable with this pastime, you’ll come across more and more free bets in different forms from the major, established names in sports betting.

An example of this is when you fancy a flutter on an upcoming sporting event, say the Grand National Horse Race. So, you go online and find a bookmaker that gives you good odds on the horse of your choice. You register with the bookmaker, you create your account with them, and you then need to fund that account.

Let’s say you make a first deposit of 25 pounds. This bookmaker had advertised on their home page that they offer a 25 pounds free bet to new customers, which means that they will now match the deposit you have made, giving you a total of 50 pounds in your sports betting account.

Offers like this can come in different forms to help you with your budget. There is a free bet that is given over consecutive weeks, i.e. if you deposit 25 pounds the first week, you get that matched, and then the second week the same, and so on, maybe for four weeks, totalling 100 pounds.

One good feature of the internet nowadays is that of free bets directories. These bring all the major sports betting bookmakers’ free bet deals together in one place.

This allows customers to choose a wager that suits their budget from as low as 10 pounds to 200 pounds and above. A good site will also give more background on the bookmakers themselves and break down the finer detail of the free bets offer by any particular bookie.

Don’t be put off by the fact that a bookmaker offers a 200 pounds free bet and you only want to stake a tenner! The free bets are usually a matched free bet to a maximum amount.

This again means that although this bookmaker may offer this high free bet value, you can still register and deposit your 10 pounds and get that matched. You are still doubling your sports betting budget to 20 pounds just for registering and creating your account!

Most good betting directory web sites list the Free Bets in an easy to follow fashion, by their value in one area of the home page or by the individual bookmakers in another area.
