TYPES OF BETTING ODDS

The most popular betting options are the moneyline, the point spread, totals,
prop bets and futures. We have broken each bet type down:


MONEYLINE

A moneyline wager is a simple prediction on which team will win a game. This is
an example of a moneyline:

 * Atlanta Braves to beat Philadelphia Phillies (-134)
 * Philadelphia Phillies to beat Atlanta Braves (+114)

You can pick which team you think will win and place a moneyline bet on them.
You can make your pick with your own handicapping analysis or utilize computer
picks as part of your strategy. The odds explain the potential profit available
on either team and its implied chance of winning.

A moneyline can also apply to the player that will win a tennis match, the boxer
that will win a fight, and so on. This is another example:

 * Coco Gauff to beat Sloane Stephens (-172)
 * Sloane Stephens to beat Coco Gauff (+142)

The concept is always the same: just pick the winner and place your bet. You
will be paid out after the event if you guess correctly.

If you do not know how to read odds, just remember two simple principles:  

 * If the odds begin with a minus (-), it explains the amount you must wager to
   generate a $100 profit. A $134 bet on the Braves would earn you a $100
   profit, whereas a $172 bet on Gauff would earn you $100.
 * If the odds start with a plus (+), the numbers highlight the profit you would
   earn by placing a $100 bet. For example, a $100 bet on the Phillies would
   earn you a $114 profit, while a $100 bet on Stephens would deliver a $142
   profit.


POINT SPREAD

This is the most common bet on football and basketball games. Sportsbooks will
assign a handicap to the stronger team (the moneyline favorite). That creates a
point spread. It allows them to offer similar odds on either team covering it.

This is an example of a point spread:

 * San Francisco 49ers -6.5 vs. Chicago Bears (-110)
 * Chicago Bears +6.5 vs. San Francisco (-110)

You have two options. If you bet on the 49ers to cover, they need to win by 7 or
more points. A bet on the Bears to cover would pay out if they won the game or
lost by up to 6 points.

You will find similar bets on other sports, such as:

 * A run line on MLB games
 * A puck line on NHL games
 * Handicaps and Asian handicaps on Soccer games 
 * A games handicap on a tennis match

This is an example of a puck line:

 * New York Rangers -1.5 vs. New Jersey Devils (+165)
 * New Jersey Devils +1.5 New York Rangers (-145)

The concept is the same as an NFL point spread. A bet on the Rangers would
require them to win by 2 or more goals. A wager on the Devils would pay off if
they won or lost by a single goal.

Sportsbooks offer a main point spread, puck line and run line. However, they
also provide lots of alternate lines. They either make things easier for you in
exchange for a smaller potential payout or make things harder in exchange for a
larger potential payout.


TOTALS

Sportsbooks set a total points line on every basketball or football game. You
can simply bet on “over” or “under”. This is an example of a total points line:

 * Dallas Mavericks vs. Phoenix Suns – over 216.5 points (-105)
 * Dallas Mavericks vs. Phoenix Suns – under 216.5 points (-115)

If you bet on over, you are predicting that the Mavs and the Suns will combine
for at least 217 points during the game. A bet on under is a prediction that
Dallas and Phoenix will combine for no more than 216 points.

Once again, you will find all sorts of alternate totals, which skew the odds in
different directions. You can also bet on totals for individual halves and
quarters, and sportsbooks offer team totals too.

Over/under bets are available on lots of other sports too, including:

 * Total runs on a baseball game
 * Total goals on a hockey or soccer game
 * Total games in a tennis match
 * Total rounds in a UFC or boxing match

They all share one thing in common: you do not need to specify which team,
player or fighter will win. However, you can combine a totals bet with a
moneyline or a spread for a same game parlay if you like.

This is an example of a total runs line:

 * Texas Rangers vs. Baltimore Orioles – over 9.5 runs (-108)
 * Texas Rangers vs. Baltimore Orioles – under 9.5 runs (-108)


FUTURES

A futures bet is a long-term wager that runs for an entire season. That means it
is not dictated by the result of a single game. The most common futures bets
focus on team that will win a major event, such as:

 * Super Bowl
 * World Series
 * NBA Championship
 * Stanley Cup
 * Champions League

The sportsbooks will assess the quality of every team in the field. They then
release futures betting odds on each team’s chances of success. It starts with
the favorite, which is often the reigning champion. The odds grow longer as you
work your way down the list, until you reach the huge underdogs at the bottom.

There are lots of other futures bets, including:

 * A team to win its conference or division
 * A team to reach the playoffs or not reach the playoffs
 * Over/under on the number of regular season wins a team will secure
 * The division or conference that will yield the Super Bowl/World Series winner

You will also find a wide array of futures bets on players, such as:

 * NFL MVP
 * Heisman Trophy
 * Defensive/Offensive Player of the Year
 * Defensive/Offensive Rookie of the Year
 * Comeback Player of the Year
 * Coach of the Year
 * NBA MVP
 * NL/AL MVP
 * Hart Trophy
 * Top Goalscorer

There are lots of season specials too. For example, you can bet on the NFL
player that will secure the most passing yards, rushing yards or receiving yards
during the season.

The odds on these futures bets will change as the season wears on. If a team is
on a hot streak, its odds will shorten. If another team loses a key player to
injury, its odds will drift out.


PROP BETS

Prop bets focus on a specific aspect of a game. There are three main categories:

 * Player Props
 * Game Props
 * Team Props

These are some examples of player props:

 * Over/under on the number of touchdown passes a QB will throw.
 * An NBA prop bet on a player recording  a triple double.
 * An MLB player to hit a home run.
 * An NHL prop bet on a player achieving a hat trick.

Game props can include:

 * Will an NHL game go into overtime? Yes/no
 * Over/under 12.5 corners in a soccer game
 * Will there be a 2-point conversion attempt in a football game? Yes/no

Team props might include:

 * The first team to 15 points in an NFL game
 * A team to score 3 or more goals in a hockey game
 * The team with the most 3-point field goals in an NBA game

Prop bets are not linked to the result. However, you can often combine them with
other markets, such as the spread, moneyline or totals, for a same game parlay.


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


HOW DO SPORTS BETTING ODDS WORK?

Sportsbooks release betting odds on thousands of sporting events each week. The
odds highlight the profit you would earn by placing a winning bet on a certain
market. They also provide an implied probability of each bet succeeding.


HOW ARE SPORTS BETTING ODDS DETERMINED?

Oddsmakers at the leading sportsbooks will weigh up the strengths of both teams.
They focus on offensive and defensive capabilities, recent results,
head-to-heads, injury news, home advantage and other important factors. The
sportsbooks then release odds on either team winning the game and on markets
such as total points and props.

How do you better understand betting sports odds?

You can visit OddsTrader to learn more about sports betting odds. Our in-depth
guides teach you how to read American odds, decimal odds and fractional odds. We
have provided clear examples to help you fully grasp what sports betting odds
entail.


WHAT ARE GOOD BETTING ODDS?

You should seek out the sportsbooks that take the lowest house edge on their
sports betting lines. The most popular betting options are the point spread and
total points, and most sportsbooks offer standard odds of -110 on either side of
those bets. If you find a sportsbook offering better than -110 on either side of
the wager – such as -108 / -108 – that would represent good betting odds.


WHAT DOES POSITIVE (+) ODDS MEAN?

The plus sign tells you the profit you would earn if you placed a successful
$100 bet. For example, a $100 bet at +150 would earn you a $150 profit and a
$100 bet at +200 would net you a $200 profit.


WHY WOULD YOU BET ON NEGATIVE (-) ODDS?

The most popular betting options tend to have negative odds. For example, most
sportsbooks offer -110 on either side of a point spread or a total points line.
It means you will not quite double your money if you succeed, so you need to win
around 55% of your bets to generate a healthy profit.


HOW DO AMERICAN BETTING ODDS WORK?

American betting odds can either begin with a plus (+) or a minus (-). If they
begin with a plus, it explains the profit available on a successful $100 wager.
For example, a $100 bet at +120 would net you $120. If they begin with a minus,
it explains how much you need to wager to win $100.


HOW DO FRACTIONAL BETTING ODDS WORK?

You can simply multiply your bet amount by the fraction to calculate your
potential winnings. For example, if you bet $10 at 5/2 and the wager is
successful, you will earn a profit of $25, because $10 x 5/2 = $25.


HOW DO DECIMAL BETTING ODDS WORK?

Decimal odds highlight the total return you would earn from a winning bet. That
includes your profit and the return of your bet amount. For example, a $10 bet
at 4.50 would return $45, which encompasses a $35 profit and the return of your
$10 stake.


WHAT DO BETTING ODDS OF -200 MEAN?

They tell you that a $200 bet would be required to generate a $100 profit.
Essentially, it means you will earn 50% of your bet amount in profit. For
example, a $200 bet would net you $100 in winnings, while a $40 bet at -200
would earn you a $20 profit.


HOW DO MONEY LINES WORK IN BETTING?

A moneyline bet is a simple prediction on which team will win a game. It can
also apply to the fighter that will win a UFC showdown or the player that will
win a tennis match. The sportsbooks release moneyline odds on each contestant,
and the odds tell you the profit available by betting on each option.


WHY DO BETTING LINES MOVE?

Breaking news of an injury to an important player could cause betting lines to
move. Sportsbooks will also change their lines if most bettors back one team.
They want to spread out their risk, so they will try to encourage more bets on
the less popular team by offering more appealing odds on that team.


WHO SETS SPORTS BETTING LINES?

Sportsbooks such as BetMGM, Caesars, FanDuel, DraftKings and PointsBet set
sports betting lines. Individual sportsbooks often provide different lines to
their rivals, so it is vital to visit OddsTrader and seek out the best lines and
odds before placing a sports bet.
