SPORTS BETTING STRATEGIES

SPORTS BETTING STRATEGIES

Sports betting and real money online casino games are very popular form of entertainment and many people enjoy the thrill of making predictions on sporting events, even if they are not actually playing sports themselves. There are many diffeent types of bets that can be made in this type of activity, including:

Over/Under Bets

These are bets where you predict whether an event will go over or under a certain number. For example, if you bet $100 on a game with a total score of 65-55, you would win your $100 if the final score was 66-54. If it ended up being 64-56, then you would lose your money.

Point Spreads

This is when you make a prediction about how much one team will beat another by. You may have heard of point spreads for college real online pokies games, but there are also point spreads for professional sports like basketball, hockey and baseball. The spread is usually between 1 and 3 points. A -1 spread means that the underdog (the team with less points) is favored to win. A +1 spread means that the favorite (the team with more points) is favored to beat the underdog.

Moneyline Bets

This is where you pick which team has the best chance of winning based on their odds. Oftentimes, these odds are listed as “+” or “–“. So, if a team has an odds of +200, that means that they have a 20% chance of winning.

Parlays

When you place multiple bets on one outcome, you can combine them into a parlay. For example, if a person places two bets on the same outcome at different prices, he could create a parlay by combining those two bets into one. He could do this by placing both bets on the same side of the field, so that he only wins if his first bet wins AND his second bet wins.

Total Points Bets

This is when you choose which team will win based on the total amount of points scored during a game. For example, if the total points scored is 90-80, the winner is the team who won by 10 points.
