Question 1

How do sports betting payouts work?

Accepted Answer

Sports betting payouts depend on which type of odds are being used.The important thing to note about payouts from sports betting apps and sites is that they often include the amount of money you put in. If you bet $170 on the Cowboys to win at -170 odds, the payout is $270. However, the profit, or amount of money you win, is $100.Odds can refer to moneyline, spread and total bets, and they can be displayed as American, British (fractional) or European (decimal). While odds look different, they mean the same thing. American OddsMost sportsbooks in the United States use American Odds. The main signifiers of American odds is that they either have a plus (+) or minus (-) in front of them and are in terms of 100.Understanding plus (+) and minus (-) odds is the most important thing before learning about American odds. Plus and Minus OddsThe plus (+) and minus (-) in sports betting can refer to either the point spread or betting odds. In terms of the spread, the " - " always refers to the favorite and the " + " always refers to the underdog. For example, you can bet the Dallas Cowboys as a -7 point favorite or the Green Bay Packers as a +7 point underdog. If you bet the Cowboys -7 and they win by more than seven points, you win your bet. Similarly, if you bet the Packers +7 and they lose by less than seven points or win outright, you win your bet.It's a similar case for the betting odds, though favorites don't always have a " - ," especially in sports like baseball, hockey or soccer where final results are often decided by one run or one goal. It's especially the case in soccer since matches can end in draws, whereas a winner is declared in almost every other sport because of overtime rules. However, in most cases, the favorite will have a " - " in front of its moneyline odds while the underdog will always have a " + ." For an example of moneyline betting odds, you can bet the Eagles as a -150 favorite to win or the Giants as a +180 underdog to win. If you bet $100 on the Eagles to win at -150, you would net a payout of $166.70. If you bet on the Giants to win at +180, the payout would be $280 because they are an underdog.For something like soccer, Arsenal could be a +150 favorite against Everton as a +190 underdog, while the draw would be set at +220. In this case, the payout would be decent for every situation mainly because the teams are even and there are three possible results compared to just two for something like football (unless they go scoreless in overtime). In this case where both teams have a " + " in front of their odds, the team with the lower number is the favorite. The lower number also means a lower payout, which is always the case for betting the favorite on the moneyline. A $100 bet on Arsenal +150 would net $250, while a $100 bet on Everton +190 would net $290. Going further, a $100 bet on the draw at +220 would payout $320. Moneyline BetsA moneyline bet is on the straight-up winner of a game.OddsIn WordsWhat It MeansGiants +150Giants plus 150If you bet $100 on the Giants and they win, you win $150Cowboys -170Cowboys minus 170To win $100 for a Cowboys win, you have to bet $170Moneyline bets are as straightforward as it gets in sports betting. You're betting on which side will win an event and if that side wins, you win.Spread BetsA spread bet is on the forecasted point differential between two teams. A minus (-) indicates the favorite and a plus (+) is the underdog.OddsIn WordsWhat It MeansLakers -7 (-110)Lakers minus 7 points at -110 oddsTo win the bet, the Lakers have to win by more than 7 points.Clippers +7 (-110)Clippers plus 7 points at -110 oddsTo win the bet, the Clippers have to win or lose by less than 7 points.In each bet, a push is also possible if the Lakers win by exactly seven points. That would mean each side gets their money back.As for the odds, the most common number for spread bets is -110, but that number varies depending on the location, sportsbook and how popular each side is. The typical number is -110, which means you have to bet $110 to win $100. However, there are states where odds are worse in order to get the state more money such as -115 or -120. This is also called the vig, which is the amount the sportsbook charges per bet.If two teams are equal, PK will be given alongside a team name which means the matchup is considered a "pick 'em." In this case, point spread doesn't matter as this boils down to a moneyline bet and a tie would get your money back.Over/under (total) BetsAn over/under bet applies to the score or points in a given contest.The below over/under table is for the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants game.OddsIn WordsWhat It Meanso49 (-110)Over 49 points at -110 oddsTo win the bet, the Cowboys and Giants have to combine for more than 49 points.u49 (-110)Under 49 points at -110 oddsTo win the bet, the Cowboys and Giants have to combine for less than 49 points.Similar to a spread bet, if the Cowboys and Giants combine for exactly 49 points, it's a push and each side get their money back. Also similar to spread bets is that the odds can vary.Decimal Odds (British)Decimal odds are most popular in Australia, Canada, Europe and New Zealand. These odds may be the easiest of the three to understand just by looking at the numbers.The team with the higher of the two numbers (3.10) is the underdog and the team with the lower of the numbers (1.50) is the favorite. The return can be calculated by multiplying the bet with the the decimal odds.OddsBetReturnProfitLiverpool 1.50$100$150$50Chelsea 3.10$100$310$210Fractional Odds (European)Fractional odds are most popular in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and are often the choice for horse racing. Also, a lot of sportsbooks in the United States will use fractional odds for futures odds.Example odds to win the Super Bowl:OddsIn WordsBetWhat It MeansChiefs 5/2Five to two$100If the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, you win $25049ers 5/1Five to one$100If the 49ers win the Super Bowl, you win $500Ravens 8/1Eight to one$100If the Ravens win the Super Bowl, you win $800 Similar to decimal odds, the return can be determined by multiplying the odds and the bet. Above, 100 times 2.5 (5/2) equals 250. In horse racing, odds will dip to something like 3/5 or 5/7 which usually means that horse is a big favorite. A 3/5 favorite is equal to -167 in American odds and 1.6 in decimal odds.

A minus (-) indicates the favorite and a plus (+) is the underdog.Teaser &ndash; When you alter the spreads or totals in a parlay for a better chance of winning your combined bet.

Question 3

What is a hedge in sports betting?

Accepted Answer

A hedge is a method to reduce risk and secure winnings for a specified bet. It means betting the opposite side of your original wager in order to either try to middle the game, or to reduce the downside exposure of the original wager.The most popular instance of hedging is for a futures bet. For example, you bet the San Francisco 49ers at +2500 to win the Super Bowl ahead of the season and they eventually make it. Instead of riding out the +2500 and hoping the 49ers win, you could hedge that bet and take the opposing team, the Kansas City Chiefs, to win on the moneyline. While you'll get more money if you ride out the original bet, there's also more of a chance you'll come out with nothing. If you hedge and bet the Chiefs, you'll win something no matter the result of the game. Below is a breakdown of payouts in a possible hedge:Original wager: $100 on 49ers at +2500 for a $2,600 payout ($2,500 profit)Hedge: $1,000 on Chiefs ML -150 for a $1,667 payout ($667 profit)With Hedge49ers win: $2,600 payout - $1,000 bet - $100 bet = $1,500 profitChiefs win: $1,667 payout - $1,000 bet - $100 bet = $567 profitWithout Hedge49ers win: $2,500 profitChiefs win without hedge: down $100As seen with a hedge, the bettor comes out in the positive no matter how the game goes. Without the hedge, the bettor wins a bit more after a 49ers win but also comes out negative if the Chiefs win as a favorite.Should you hedge a bet?Hedging a wager comes down to personal preference. Some people are fine with a positive payout and prefer not to risk everything, which is when a hedge makes sense. As for those who are keen on their original wager and are fine with losing money if the other side wins, there's no reason to hedge.More hedgingHedging can be done with almost any kind of bet. Futures bets may be the most popular instance to hedge, but as sports betting grows, in-play wagering with sports betting apps is also at an all-time high. If a bet isn't looking good halfway through a game, hedging with an in-play bet could be done. In this case, it's important to note all possibilities in a game because if you make the wrong hedge, you may be out two bets if something crazy happens. For example, you bet the Titans -7 to beat the Colts and they open the second quarter down 14-0. Since it's looking like the Colts will win, you decide to hedge the Colts moneyline at -150. Unfortunately, the Colts let up in the second half and the Titans eventually win on a late field goal, meaning both of your bets lose. If you want to hedge in-game, it's usually best to know what you're doing instead of blindly betting the opposite side.Another possible hedge method is in a parlay. Luckily, these are a little more straightforward than an in-game hedge. The easiest example is if your first two bets win in a three-team parlay. If you want to guarantee winnings, you simply hedge by betting the opposite side in the third bet of the parlay. You'll guarantee winnings, though the payout will be smaller.

Question 4

How do you read sports betting odds?

Accepted Answer

Reading odds on sports betting apps or sites may be the first part to figure out before you begin wagering, as they specify the implied probability of an outcome and how much money can be won.Odds can refer to moneyline, spread and total bets, and they can be displayed as American, British (fractional) or European (decimal). While odds look different, they mean the same thing. American OddsMost sportsbooks in the United States use American Odds.

If you bet the Cowboys -7 and they win by more than seven points, you win your bet. Similarly, if you bet the Packers +7 and they lose by less than seven points or win outright, you win your bet.It's a similar case for the betting odds, though favorites don't always have a " - ," especially in sports like baseball, hockey or soccer where final results are often decided by one run or one goal.

The lower number also means a lower payout, which is always the case for betting the favorite on the moneyline. A $100 bet on Arsenal +150 would net $250, while a $100 bet on Everton +190 would net $290. Going further, a $100 bet on the draw at +220 would payout $320.

Question 5

How do sports betting spreads work?

Accepted Answer

Sports betting spreads, also referred to as lines, are used to even the odds between two unevenly matched teams.Bookmakers set a spread with the hopes of getting equal action on both sides of a game. For example, if the Colts are a "-3" point home favorite against the visiting Texans on a sports betting app, site or retail sportsbook, the 3 points is the spread. If you want to bet the Colts on the spread, it would mean the Colts need to win by at least four points for you to win the bet. If the Colts win by two points, you would lose. If they win by exactly three, that is referred to as a "push" and the amount that you wagered is refunded. The spread at -3 suggests the teams are fairly equal and maybe in this case, the Colts are only -3 because they are playing at home. Bookmakers see these teams as equal and expect to receive fairly even money from bettors. If these teams were widely considered equal and bookmakers put the spread at -10, they wouldn't get equal money as Texans +10 would likely be pounded by bettors.In a spread bet, the odds are usually set at -110 on both sides, depending on the sportsbook and state. That means whether you bet the Colts -3 or Texans +3, you'll win the same amount of money if you win the bet. At -110, you would have to wager $110 to win $100.If you like the Colts to win but think three points is a tricky number, a moneyline bet could be made on the winning team with no points in the equation. In the above example, a Colts moneyline bet doesn't have any other requirements other than they win the game. The difference is that their odds may be set at -140 to win. On the other end, the Texans could be +120 to win. At -140, you would have to wager $140 to win $100. At +120, you could win $120 by risking $100, making the moneyline bet the better, more profitable bet if you are confident that the Texans are going to win the game outright.Sportsbook PromosIf you're ready to start betting on sports, be sure to claim the following offers:BetMGM Bonus Codebet365 Bonus CodeFanatics Sportsbook Promo Code

Question 6

How Do Bonus Bets Work In Sports Betting?

Accepted Answer

Bonus bets in sports betting are often connected to deposits and are also referred to as bonuses.Most bonus bets are only available on a first deposit at that specific sportsbook. For instance, DraftKings used to have a $20 bonus play that has a number of stipulations. First, you have to deposit at least $5 into your account and then you'll get the $20 in bonus play money, which is not redeemable for cash. Almost every sportsbook has some kind of deal to attract new bettors and there are many different methods to draw people in.The idea is that sportsbooks will get new people to sign up for accounts and deposit money with sports betting apps and sites, and if they win a few bets, maybe continue wagering at that sportsbook instead of going elsewhere. There are positives and negatives to bonus bets. For starters, if you feel like you're playing with bonus money, you may not be inclined to put much thought into your bets. If that's the case, you may deposit $100 into your account and before you know it, your original $100 is gone as well as the $100 in bonus money. If you know what you're doing and hit a few bets and come out in the positive, then the bonus is worth it, but there's a reason these offers exist. Sportsbooks not only get your information for future spamming opportunities, but they also have numerous stipulations that usually give them the advantage in the end.Sportsbook promos and bonus bets look fun on the surface, but if you play into the hands of the sportsbook, they could turn into a quick negative in your pocket.How to Claim a Bonus OfferThe most common methods to claim bonus offers are by either using a bonus code or having a minimum deposit. In some cases, it could be both of those things. Bonus codes may be emailed to a user after registering for an account or they can be found through numerous online advertisements. As for a minimum deposit, those can range anywhere from $5 to $20 and sometimes more.Bonus BetsBonus bets, as listed above, are the most straightforward bonus. You usually get a set amount of money to bet when you deposit and that money can't be redeemable for cash. For example, if you bet the bonus $5 and lose, that money is gone. If you bet $5 and profit another $5, you'll be up $5 in real money. Bettors that sign up with the WynnBET promo code can get bonus bets as a bankroll-builder for their account.Since you're betting bonus money, it may be worth it to go big like in a multi-team parlay, though some sportsbooks may limit your eventual payout.Second Change BetsSecond chance bets are a tad more complicated because they usually have a lot more rules. In 2020, new customers at FanDuel could get a $500 second chance bet. This means that users could get a 100% refund on their first bet up to $500. Of course, if you want to bet the full $500, you would have to deposit that money into your account to be able to make the bet.Again, there are a few underlying requirements that make getting this money back a tad more difficult. If your $500 bet loses, while you should get another $500 within the next few days, that money is not yet yours. That money is considered bonus bet money and if you want to get it back, you'll have to wager another $500 before you can withdraw any of it. Users can use the BetMGM bonus code ROTOBONUS to get a second chance bet, with similar "rules" to the aforementioned.Match bet offers are in the same mold as second chance bets with different wording. For the above FanDuel promotion, a match bet offer would be 100% on up to $500. That means you can get back 100% of your money on your first bet up to $500. You can get second chance bets using the Caesars Sportsbook promo code ROTOFULL.Bonus Bet, No DepositThese are usually minimal amounts like $5 or $10 because this method is harder to retain bettors since no deposit is needed. Even if you win this kind of bet, you'll likely have to wager your winnings multiple more times for you to meet requirements and withdraw that money. This offer doesn't often amount to much and is usually for bettors to get a sense of how that specific sportsbook runs and what kind of odds they offer.Deposit Match BonusThese bonuses are usually done through casinos, as that's where they were popularized. Sportsbooks will match a deposit, which often has a minimum requirement at a preset percentage, ranging from 50% to 300%. For example, if you deposit $100, you could get another $100 in bonus money with a 100% deposit match bonus. Again, that bonus money will have to hit a few betting requirements before it can be withdrawn.

Question 9

Can you bet on sports if you are under 21 years old?

Accepted Answer

While 21 is the more common age limit, there are states in which you can bet on sports if you are at least 18 years old. Each state determines its own age requirement and there are some states with different age levels, depending on the location. In terms of sports betting, all but four states require residents to be at least 21 years old in order to take part, those being Kentucky, Montana, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Washington D.C. where the age limit is 18 and over, and anyone of age can claim sportsbook promos and use legal, regulated sportsbooks within state lines.As for gambling in general, some states may have an age limit of 18 for sports betting apps and sites, but at casinos that sell liquor, you have to be at least 21 years old.Alabama21Alaska18Arizona21Arkansas21California18, 21Colorado21Connecticut18, 21Delaware21Florida18, 21Georgia21Hawaii21Idaho18Illinois21Indiana21Iowa21Kansas21Kentucky18, 21Louisiana21Maine18Maryland21Massachusetts21MichiganIndian casinos 19, Detroit casinos 21Minnesota18Mississippi21Missouri21Montana18Nebraska18Nevada21New Hampshire18, 21New Jersey21New Mexico21New YorkSeneca casinos 21, Other casinos 18North Carolina21North Dakota21Ohio18Oklahoma18, 21Oregon18, 21Pennsylvania21Rhode Island18South Carolina21South Dakota21Tennessee21Texas21Utah21Vermont21Virginia21Washington18, 21West Virginia21Wisconsin21Wyoming21

Question 10

What is a unit in sports betting?

Accepted Answer

A unit in sports betting is a measurement of the size of a given bet. It's mainly used because everyone's bankroll is different and a unit refers to the percentage of a bankroll. One unit is usually equal to one percent of a bankroll, though it's not the same for everyone.For example, if your bankroll is $1,000, one unit would be $10 or 1%. In this situation, if someone puts three units on a wager with a sports betting app, it would be a $30 bet. If you're a serious bettor, it's rarely a good idea to make a bet with more than five units unless you know something everyone else doesn't. Often, a one-unit play compared to a five-unit play is in reference to a bettor's confidence. If you really like a certain bet, you can lay five units on it.If you're not a serious bettor, units aren't a major deal because you can go into a sportsbook with a set amount of money and bet it all in one night, and also claim sportsbook promos. Maybe you won't spend all of the money on one bet, but if you keep losing, a $500 bankroll can disappear fairly quickly if you're making $100 bets.How are units used in the betting world?Units are often what matter most in the betting world, at least for bettors who share their statistics (like touts). Someone could have a 10-0 betting record and be up 10 units, but a person with a 4-6 record could be up more units if they played their cards right. That's because the four wins could all be five-unit plays, but the six losses are just one-unit bets, making the total tally up 14 units. Either that or the bettor with a 4-6 record was betting on a lot of underdogs and four of them hit.While having a good record is nice to show your friends, the amount of units you're up is what technically matters most, and it's usually what people in the betting world use.

Question 12

What do + and - mean in sports betting?

Accepted Answer

The plus (+) and minus (-) with sports betting apps or sites can refer to either the point spread or betting odds. In terms of the spread, the " - " always refers to the favorite and the " + " always refers to the underdog. For example, you can bet the Dallas Cowboys as a -7 point favorite to beat the Green Bay Packers or the Packers as a +7 point underdog. If you bet the Cowboys -7 and they win by more than seven points, you win your bet. Similarly, if you bet the Packers +7, as long as they lose by less than seven points or win outright, you win your bet.It's a similar case for the betting odds, though favorites don't always have a " - ," especially in sports like baseball, hockey or soccer where final results are often decided by one run or one goal. It's especially the case in soccer since matches can end in draws, whereas a winner is declared in almost every other sport because of overtime rules. However, in most cases, the favorite will have a " - " in front of its moneyline odds while the underdog will always have a "+ ." For an example of moneyline betting odds, you can bet the Eagles as a -150 favorite to win or the Giants as a +180 underdog to win. If you bet $100 on the Eagles to win at -150, you would net a payout of $166.70. If you bet on the Giants to win at +180, the payout would be $280 because they are an underdog.For something like soccer, Arsenal could be a +150 favorite against Everton as a +190 underdog, while the draw would be set at +220. In this case, the payout would be decent for every situation mainly because the teams are even and there are three possible results compared to just two for something like football (unless they go scoreless in overtime). In this case where both teams have a " + " in front of their odds, the team with the lower number is the favorite. The lower number also means a lower payout, which is always the case for betting the favorite on the moneyline. A $100 bet on Arsenal +150 would net $250, while a $100 bet on Everton +190 would net $290. Going further, a $100 bet on the draw at +220 would payout $320. Now that you know what plus and minus mean in sports betting, be sure to claim some of the best sportsbook promos available, including:bet365 bonus codeBetMGM bonus code
