As Sports Gambling Grows, So Do Appetite-Whetting Sure Bets. Online gambling sites are offering can’t-lose propositions, giving away easy money to attract new customers to a nascent multibillion-dollar industry. These come-ons should reach a peak just ahead of the Super Bowl. Published Feb. 2, 2021 Updated Feb. 3, 2021. You’ve heard it all your life: There is no such thing as a sure thing. Well, that was before betting on sports could be legal anywhere in the United States. Now it’s a free-for-all of easy money as sports books in search of new customers hype their services on sports broadcasts, social media and drive-time air waves. Last week in Michigan, where online betting recently became legal, the gaming company FanDuel was happy to give new customers their beloved Detroit Pistons and an eye-popping plus 159.5 points against the Los Angeles Lakers. Bettors didn’t need the can’t-lose points — Detroit won, 107-92, costing the sports book $2 million in payouts. For FanDuel, it was money well spent. For about $45 a head, the site signed up nearly 47,000 new Michigan bettors. In the gambling industry, can’t-miss propositions and cash handouts are time-tested ways to build market share quickly. These come-ons will peak just ahead of this weekend’s Super Bowl, the holiest of occasions in the religion of sports and the most-watched television show in the United States. With DraftKings’ “Big Game No Brainer,” a new user will be able to turn $50 into $100 if either Tampa Bay or Kansas City scores a single touchdown in Sunday’s game. “Win Terry Bradshaw’s Money,” brought to you by FOX Bet, has already become a staple of N.F.L. programming on the network. Bookmakers have said the sports betting market is maturing faster than they anticipated, with an unfortunate and unlikely assist from the economic devastation left by the coronavirus pandemic. “The tipping point is here. What we went through last year is the driver,” said Kip Levin, the chief executive officer of FOX Bet. Even with the disruption in sports, Levin said, 14 betting states collectively took in more than $1 billion in revenue in 2020, demonstrating that sports gambling can bolster economies in new markets. “State officials recognize this and now they need revenues for their state,” he said. Less than three years after the Supreme Court struck down a federal law that prohibited sports gambling in most states, betting on games is legal and underway in 20 states and the District of Columbia. The more than $1 billion in 2020 revenue is projected to grow sixfold by 2023, according to a study by Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, a research and consulting firm. If all 50 states permit sports betting, revenues will surpass $19 billion annually, the study projects. Multibillion-dollar industries will beget multibillion-dollar marketing as bookmakers, media companies and tech entrepreneurs have rushed in to claim their place in the market. “Sports betting now is like water and finding its way into everything, especially now when operators are trying to attract new customers,” said Chris Grove, a partner at Eilers & Krejcik. “In a mature market like the United Kingdom, a mid-tier bookmaker will spend about 40 cents of every dollar acquiring and retaining new customers. Here we’re seeing a 100 percent or more spend on each buck.” Last year, bookmakers spent more than $200 million on television advertising alone, according to the advertising information company MediaRadar, and since mid-June of 2020 they have increased their television spending by 82 percent over the previous year. Sports gaming executives have said they expect to double that amount on advertising and promotions by year’s end, as betting operations move closer to opening in five more states — Washington, North Carolina, Louisiana, Maryland, and South Dakota. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York, who is banking on the State Legislature to approve mobile sports betting this spring, has said it could bring hundreds of millions of dollars into state coffers as New York is facing a multi-billion-dollar deficit. Despite his enthusiasm, Cuomo said he wanted the state to have tight control over the betting platforms, likening sports gambling to the state-run lottery. “This is not a moneymaker for private interests to collect just more tax revenue,” he said. “We want the actual revenue from sports betting.” No matter what deals are reached in New York, betting on sports has already demonstrated a grip on American culture and a capacity to assault our senses. Sports gaming executives acknowledge there is a fine line between seducing new customers and exhausting them. Officials at DraftKings and FanDuel said they had learned from mistakes they made trying to bring daily fantasy sports to the market. In 2015, the two sports books blanketed television with advertising, spending more than $100 million each, consistently ranking among the top companies each week in airtime purchased. During the N.F.L.’s opening weekend alone, DraftKings and FanDuel spent more than $27 million for about 8,000 television spots, according to data from iSpot.tv, which measures national TV advertising. The aggressive marketing helped lift each company’s valuation to $1 billion, but it also brought scrutiny from state attorneys general who were not convinced the fantasy games were legal. With expensive legal challenges and a backlash among customers, both businesses were badly damaged. “We spent a lot of money. It was not the wisest thing to do,” said John Avello, the director of the sports book at DraftKings. “It did make us well known. Now we do it smarter.” Mike Raffensperger, chief marketing officer at FanDuel, said sports books were merely following in the footsteps of Netflix, Uber and other digital companies that pioneered new markets. This time around, FanDuel wants to become part of the sports media landscape by exploiting social media and making exclusive content partnership deals with networks like TNT and Entercom Radio, one of the country’s largest owners of sports talk radio stations. With sports betting measures under consideration in heavily populated states such as California, Texas and Florida, sure-thing bets are certain to be dangled before new customers for years to come. Sports betting and its place in American culture are here to stay. “What the public thinks is going to happen in a game, which team is going to cover the spread, has become part of the larger narrative of sports,” Raffensperger said. “Betting on games has become part of the sports ecosystem.”
Nfl sports picks week 17 2008. NFL Office Pool Picks - Week 17 by Trevor Whenham - 12/23/2008. Week 16 was one that I would rather forget on the prognostication front. Let's wash that taste out of our mouths with a big weekend to cap things off for the season. I never have really high hopes for this last weekend because you can never be sure which teams have decided to mentally end their seasons a week early, and which playoff teams will put out an insincere effort. 50% Match Play Reward Reduced Juice Wagering Click Here to signup with 5Dimes. St. Louis at Atlanta - Atlanta has clinched a playoff spot already, but they are too new to the whole playoff thing to back off and take a weekend off. The Rams showed signs of life last week, but that was just a blip. They should be no match for a team that will have a frenzied home crowd behind them. Take the Falcons . Jacksonville at Baltimore - This one shouldn't be tough. Baltimore controls their own destiny - beat Jacksonville and they go to the playoffs. They have a rookie QB, but there is more than enough veteran talent to fire this team up to beat a team that quit weeks ago. Take the Ravens . New England at Buffalo - Another no-brainer. The Bills are pretty bad, and they have nothing to play for. The Patriots need to a win and some help. There will be no issues with motivation here - look what New England did against Arizona last week. Take the Patriots . Kansas City at Cincinnati - This game should not be played. I hate both teams right now. I guess I'll take the Bengals - they are at home and they are coming off a win. Detroit at Green Bay - There is only one thing that would make me back the Packers this week, and this is it. The Lions have a shot at immortality, and I'll be darned if I am going to stand in the way of that. Take the Packers . Chicago at Houston - I've given up believing in the Texans. They are impossible to read, so I won't even try any more. Take the Bears . N.Y. Giants at Minnesota - Minnesota has home town fans to please. The Giants have nothing to play for. Take the Vikings . Carolina at New Orleans - The Saints looked very good last weekend, not that that means much when it comes against the Lions. Still, they will be looking to go out on a high note against a team that will just be looking to stay in one piece. Drew Brees has the single season passing record in his grasp if he has a huge game, so that could be a motivator, too. Take the Saints . Miami at New York Jets - This was supposed to be a grudge match with everything on the line. Instead, it is a lame game between a team that has been as bad as any in the league the last three weeks and one that has a playoff spot on the line, is playing great football, and has shown that cold weather doesn't seem to bother them anymore. Take the Dolphins . Dallas at Philadelphia - Both teams need a win to have a shot at a playoff spot. The Cowboys should be embarrassed by their performance last week. So should the Eagles, for that matter. In a battle between teams who seem determined to disappoint, I guess I will go with the less volatile team, and the one with the home feld advantage. Take the Eagles . Cleveland at Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh has nothing to play for and will likely rest a banged up Ben Roethlisberger, but I don't see any way that Ken Dorsey or Bruce Gradkowski can do anything to be even remotely competitive with Pittsburgh. Even if the Steelers played their cheerleaders on defense. Take the Steelers . Oakland at Tampa Bay - I am having a hard time having any faith in my Bucs after they have been disappointing three weeks in a row. I can't have faith in Oakland at any time, though. That makes the Bucs the pick . Seattle at Arizona - Seattle showed some surprising life last week. Arizona really didn't. Still, I have to believe that the Cardinals will try everything in their power to stop the bleeding and put up a good performance to get in the right mindset for a playoff berth that looks more and more like it could be a short-lived disaster. Take the Cardinals . Denver at San Diego - Incredibly, this game is for a playoff berth. Even more incredibly, I think that means that San Diego will make the playoffs. The AFC West is a travesty. Take the Chargers . Washington at San Francisco - The Niners are playing pretty solid football right now, and Mike Singletary is playing for a full-time gig. I think he's going to get it after a win here. He'll deserve it. Take the Niners .

PD vs QS Match Prediction & Analysis. All three matches on the opening day of the Abu Dhabi T10 2021 were won by the team that chased. This is a massive trend in T10 cricket and one that bears a lot of importance while placing your bets. Always keep an eye out for the chasing team and watch as the odds change instantly after the toss. We also found that the average scores this season have been much higher than the previous one. This next match is going to be played between the Pune Devils and the Qalandars. The Devils won their opening match pretty convincingly while this is going to be the first match for the Qalandars. Pune Devils vs Qalandars T10 2021 is going to be played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi on the 29th of January 2021. Team Previews. Pune Devils. An excellent bowling performance from the Pune Devils proved to be the basis of their victory in the previous match. Nasir Hossain picked up three wickets, Munis Ansari picked up two and the pair just went for 39 runs in their four overs. That is very good in this format of the game. Mohammad Amir bowled well but did not pick up a wicket. The good form of Nasir Hossain and Munis Ansari bodes well for the Devils as they are not going to be dependent on Mohammad Amir and Hardus Viljoen alone. The batting is a bit weak but Kennar Lewis managed to get the job done in the previous match. He scored 57 off 27 deliveries with six massive hits over the boundary. Tam Kohler-Cadmore and Chadwick Walton are the only other two batsmen of note in the side and we think the Pune Devils could struggle if they lose their openers early. As we have seen, though, just one batsman is enough to get the side over the line in the T10 format. Pune Devils Playing 11. CAK Walton, K Lewis, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Darwish Rasooli, Asif Khan, Nasir Hossain, Karan KC, Mohammad Amir, Hardus Viljoen, Munis Ansari, Sam Wisniewski. Qalandars. The Qalandars are one of the fan-favorite teams of the T10 League seeing as they have a strong Pakistani contingent. Led by the mercurial Shahid Afridi, they have names such as Asif Ali, Sharjeel Khan, Tom Banton, and Ben Dunk in the lineup. Banton is one of the most exciting strikers in the world today and his contribution is going to be very important. Samit Patel, Chris Jordan, Sohail Akhtar, and Sohail Tanvir add a lot of depth to the team as well. A lot of the players in this lineup are from the golden age of Pakistan’s T20 domination and so are getting a bit long in the tooth. However, the combination of quality players from the current England set-up adds a lot of balance as well. Qalandars Playing 11. Ben Dunk, Asif Ali, Tom Banton, Sharjeel Khan, Sohail Akhtar, Samit Patel, Azmatullah Omarzai, Sohail Tanvir, Chris Jordan, Sultan Ahmed, Danial Asif Ahmed. PD vs QS Toss Prediction. The team that wins the toss is going to want to field first. There have been three matches so far and every single one of them has been by the team that batted second. Read our guide on toss predictions to learn how we analyze and come up with our tips. Pitch and Conditions. The pitch is very good for batting, and we have seen the batsmen dominate. In fact, the average score has been well over a hundred so far, something that could come down as the pitch gets a bit worn. For now, though, there does not seem to be anything stopping the batsmen from just going bananas. A score of around 110-120 seems to be par batting first. PD vs QS Betting Tips. We are going to stick with the Qalandars in this match over the Pune Devils. We are not convinced about the lack of batting depth in the Pune Devils side and think the market is overvaluing its victory in the previous match.
Chelsea vs Wolves betting tips: Premier League preview, odds and free bets. A winless start for Thomas Tuchel is one our expert tipster’s three Chelsea vs Wolves betting tips for this intriguing Premier League clash. C helsea will look to kick off Thomas Tuchel’s reign as manager with a win as they host an out-of-form Wolverhampton Wanderers who are also looking for a change in fortunes in the Premier League. The weight of spending over £200 million in the transfer window finally led the Blues’ board to take decisive action and sack Frank Lampard after his first run of bad results. Tuchel was sacked by Paris St-Germain on Christmas Eve but is widely regarded as an excellent coach after guiding the French club to the Champions League final last season. This season has not gone to plan for Chelsea or Wolves, who finished fourth and seventh respectively last term but are ninth and 14th in the Premier League ahead of Wednesday’s meeting. Wolves were outplayed by non-league Chorley in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Friday, securing a 1-0 win with a Vitinha goal from their only shot on target. Chelsea vs Wolves betting tips.

Take a look at all the latest bookmaker offers on our best betting sites list. Blues need to rebuild confidence. In the first week of December, Chelsea won 4-0 away to Europa Cup holders Sevilla in the Champions League and then beat Leeds United 3-0 at Stamford Bridge to go top of the Premier League. Since then, however, the Blues have won just two out of eight league matches, a run that resulted in the sacking of head coach Frank Lampard on Monday. Chelsea have looked like a side lacking confidence as their form has worsened, and will be keen to avenge the 2-1 they suffered at Molineux in December. One crumb of comfort for them is that they have continued to find the net, failing to score just once in the last eight in the Premier League. But after this week’s upheaval at the club it may be worth siding with the visitors in a battle between two inconsistent sides. Tip: Wolves – double chance @ 7/5 with SportNation. Wolves struggling at both ends. One consolation for Chelsea is that Wednesday’s visitors are in a worse run of form than they are, with just one victory in the last nine Premier League matches. The bad news is that that sole success came at the expense of Chelsea in December, when Pedro Neto’s 90th-minute goal secured a 2-1 win at Molineux. That run has coincided with the loss of striker Raul Jimenez, who needed surgery after fracturing his skull against Arsenal, and has created speculation about Nuno Espirito Santo’s future as manager. Wolves have also struggled at the other end of the pitch, failing to keep a clean sheet in the league since the middle of October. That and their form suggests there should be goals at the Bridge. Tip: Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score @ 29/20 with SportNation. Abraham out to prove his worth. Chelsea are expected to make a number of changes from the team that beat Luton Town 3-1 in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday, especially after Tuchel’s appointment.. Tammy Abraham started and scored a hat-trick against the Hatters and that display could mean he keeps his place. If so, he looks a good option in the goalscoring markets. The England striker has scored six Premier League goals this season and has form against Wolves, bagging a hat-trick in the 5-2 win at Molineux in 2019. If Abraham drops to the bench, Olivier Giroud could take his place and he has netted in the last two meetings with Wanderers, including a goal in the 2-0 win at the Bridge last season. Ruben Neves is one to consider if looking for a Wolves goalscorer bet. The midfielder has been on target in two of their last three Premier League games and he also takes Wanderers’ penalties. Tip: Tammy Abraham to score at anytime @ 13/10 with SportNation. Chelsea vs Wolves latest odds. Chelsea are priced at 5/8 to come out victorious from the fixture, with Wolves 9/2 to surprise the hosts. A draw is 16/5. Odds are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change. Chelsea team news. Midfielder N’golo Kante is the only real injury concern. The Frenchman has struggled to overcome a hamstring injury in recent weeks and won’t be back in time for this match. With Tuchel in the dugout, it’s likely the German will try and play what he feels is his best XI, giving a chance to Kai Havertz in midfield and Abraham up front. Chelsea predicted line-up (4-3-3): Mendy; James, Rudiger, Silva, Chilwell; Mount, Kovacic, Havertz; Pulisic, Abraham, Hudson-Odoi. Wolves team news. A much more experienced Wolves side is expected to take the field against Chelsea after a number of opportunities were handed to fringe players in the FA cup victory over Chorley. The club will still be without the injured Marcal, Daniel Podence, Jonny Otto and Jimenez. New signing Willian Jose, who joined from Real Sociedad last week, could make his debut. Wolves predicted line-up (5-3-2): Patricio; Semedo, Coady, Boly, Saiss, Ait-Nouri; Neves, Moutinho, Dendoncker; Traore, Jose. Last five results.

Gunners to continue firing. Arsenal’s season looked to be in tatters heading into the festive period, as they spent Christmas Day sitting 15th in the standings, with a relegation battle seeming more likely than any kind of challenge for the European places. However, fast forward little more than a month and the Gunners have moved to within touching distance of the top four after picking up five wins and a draw from their last six top-flight games. Only league leaders Manchester City have accumulated more points than Mikel Arteta’s side during the same period, with the Gunners starting to fire at both ends of the pitch, scoring 14 and conceding just two in that run. The north Londoners have also won three and drawn one of the last four meetings with United, including a 1-0 success in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford in November. The Red Devils were in good form themselves before a flat performance in the 2-1 home defeat by Sheffield United and Arsenal could capitalise on any doubts that may have crept into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad off the back of that loss. Tip: Arsenal to win @ 15/8 with Betfair. Lacazette to hit the net. Arsenal’s recent improvement has coincided with the return to form of forward Alexandre Lacazette, who has scored six goals and provided two assists in his last nine appearances. The Frenchman’s strike during the midweek victory at Southampton means he has now hit double figures in each of his four seasons since joining the club from Lyon in 2017. It is not just the goals that Lacazette is providing, as his all-round performances have also been impressive of late, with the 29-year-old stepping up to the plate in the continued absence of captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Lacazette has previous experience of notching against United, although he has not done so since 2017. However, given his current form, it would be no surprise to see him registering once again on Saturday. Tip: Alexandre Lacazette to score at any time @ 13/8 with Betfair. Someone could pay Emirates penalty. It would be no surprise to see at least one penalty given during Saturday’s match, particularly as United have been the penalty kings in the Premier League since the start of last season, as no top-flight side has been awarded more spot-kicks than their total of 20. That is three more than any other side in the division over the same period and a whopping 13 more than Arsenal have received. One of the main reasons United seem to be awarded so many penalties is due to their pace in the final third and they are likely to adopt a counter-attacking approach at the Emirates, which could well catch one or two defenders out. Arsenal may not have received too many penalties of late, but they have been awarded two in their last four games against United, including for Aubameyang’s winning goal this season. That is one of four penalties that United have conceded in the league so far this term, a tally that could well be extended this weekend. Tip: Penalty awarded @ 13/8 with Betfair.

Betting Odds Explained – A Beginner’s Guide to Gambling. Betting odds tell you how likely an event is to happen They also tell you how much money you will win However, at first, they may seem confusing and complex Our comprehensive guide takes you step-by-step to explain them. If you’re new to betting, one of the first things you should do is learn how betting odds work. It’s critically important because it allows you to understand how likely an event is to happen, and what your potential winnings will be. At first, it may appear confusing, however, read our guide and let us explain it to you. In gambling, odds represent the ratio between the amounts staked by parties to a wager or bet. Thus, odds of 3 to 1 mean the first party (the bookmaker) stakes three times the amount staked by the second party (the bettor). What is Probability? The most basic level, betting provides you with the ability to predict the outcome of a certain event, and if your prediction is correct, you will win money. For any given event, there are a certain number of outcomes. Take rolling a dice for instance. If someone rolls a dice, there are six possible outcomes. Therefore, if you bet that the person rolls a ‘one’, there is a 16.67% chance that will happen. What betting odds merely do is present how likely the event is to happen. Bookies most frequently in the UK do this as a fraction, i.e. 4/7, whilst the vast majority also offer the ability to view them as decimals. Again, let us talk you through them. All will become clear. Using Betting Odds to Calculate Probability. Whenever you see two numbers separated by a trailing slash, i.e. 10/1, this is known as fractional odds. From this, you can calculate how likely a given event is to happen with a calculation. For ease of explanation, let’s replace the numbers with letters i.e. 4/1 becomes A/B. Here is the calculation: Probability (%) = B / (A+B). Hooray! We’re making progress. Given a fraction, we can now tell how likely (the probability) what we’re going to bet on will happen. Now let’s figure out how much money can be won using betting odds. Using Betting Odds to Calculate Winnings. Betting odds allow you to calculate how much money you will win if you make a bet. Let’s use the same examples as before, with the same replacement of numbers for letters, i.e. 4/1 becomes A/B. Quite simply, for every value of B that you bet, you will win A, plus the return of your stake. 9/1 for every £1 you bet, you will win £9. 4/1 for every £1 you bet, you will win £4. 1/1 for every £1 you bet, you will win £1. 1/4 for every £4 you bet, you will win £1. What About Decimals? Decimals are far more common on exchanges, such as Betfair, but all leading betting sites do give you the option to view betting odds in this format. They are an alternative to seeing betting odds in the fraction format, and in our opinion, are easier to work out. Here is the calculation: winnings = (odds * stake) – stake. Let’s illustrate it with some examples. 9.0 can be calculated as (9.0 * £10 stake) – £10 stake = £80 winnings. 4.0 can be calculated as (4.0 * £10 stake) – £10 stake = £30 winnings. 2.5 can be calculated as (2.5 * £10 stake) – £10 stake = £15 winnings. 1.25 can be calculated as (1.25 * £10 stake) – £10 stake = £2.50 winnings. You can use our bet calculator to help you calculate winnings. USE BET CALCULATOR. Decimal Odds Versus Fractional Odds. In truth, one isn’t better than the other but there is certainly a trend emerging towards decimal odds. Historically fractional odds were used in the UK, especially on racetracks and on the high street. There are two key differences. Generally, decimal odds are easier to understand. Based on this, there has a movement to attract more people to horse racing by making it more accessible to the average punter. Ten years ago, if you were going to Cheltenham, all the odds would be displayed as fractional odds. Now, they’re largely all in decimals. Don’t hesitate to check out our exclusive Premier League Betting Offers ! The second difference between the formats is that fractional odds only represent winnings, and do not include the returned stake compared to decimals which do include the stake. The transition from fractional odds to decimals largely kicked off with the growing popularity of the betting exchanges such Betfair. For odds to change slightly, it’s really difficult to marginally increase or decrease the probability without creating large fractions which are hard to compute for the punter.

Betting Odds Explained. More for Beginners. Betting Odds Explained What is a Betting Exchange? Betfair v Smarkets Betfair Exchange Guide Smarkets Exchange Guide. Matched betting is available to everyone, even those of you who have never placed a bet before. If that’s you and you want to know more about betting odds, you’re in the right place! In this guide, I’ll explain what betting odds are, how they work and how we can use them to work out the probability of an event occurring. What are betting odds? Betting odds are numbers used by bookmakers to represent the probability of an outcome occurring and tell us how much they’re willing to pay out on a winning bet. Betting odds may seem a little confusing to start with, but they’re actually quite straightforward once you’re familiar with them. What is probability? Probability is the likelihood of an outcome happening and is usually displayed as a percentage. For example, if we were to toss a coin, there are two possible outcomes. There’s a 50% chance that the coin will land on heads and a 50% chance that the coin will land on tails. How do betting odds work? Betting odds are displayed as fractions or decimals and tell us how much we stand to win if our bet is successful. Traditionally, bookmakers display their odds as fractions, such as 9/1 on England to win the World Cup. Fractional odds explained. Fractional odds tell us how much we stand to win in relation to our stake. The number on the left is the amount we stand to win if we stake the amount on the right. So, if we bet £1.00 on England to win the World Cup at odds of 9/1, we’ll win £9.00. We’ll also get our £1.00 stake back, giving us total returns of £10.00. Here are some other examples… 5/1 – We’ll win £5.00 for every £1.00 we bet 6/4 – We’ll win £6.00 for every £4.00 we bet 1/2 – We’ll win £1.00 for every £2.00 we bet. Decimal odds explained. Decimal odds show us how much a winning bet will return, inclusive of our stake. We simply multiply our stake by the odds, to get our total returns. So, if we bet £1.00 on England to win the World Cup at odds of 10.00, we’ll get £10.00 back, which includes our £1.00 stake. Here are some other examples… 6.00 – A £1.00 bet would return £6.00 2.50 – A £4.00 bet would return £10.00 1.50 – A £2.00 bet would return £3.00. As you can see, the fractional odds of 9/1 and the decimal odds of 10.00 return exactly the same amount. They’re just different ways of displaying things. Which odds format is best? I think if you asked a regular punter, they would probably favour fractional odds because that’s what they’re used to betting with. When it comes to matched betting though, decimal odds are the clear winner. They’re much easier to compare at a glance, which is an essential part of the matched betting process. Betting exchanges display their odds as decimals too, so it makes sense all round to go with decimals. To illustrate just how much easier decimal odds are to compare than fractions, take a look at the following graphics… I’m sure you’ll agree, it’s much easier to compare the decimal odds at a glance than it is their fractional equivalents above. What are moneyline odds? You won’t ever need to use them for matched betting, but they’re worth mentioning as you’ll no doubt come across them as an option at some point. Fractional to decimal odds. We shouldn’t need to manually convert odds all that often as we can simply change our odds preference at the bookmakers. I’ve also created an Odds Converter tool that will help you convert fractional, decimal and moneyline odds into your preferred format. You can also get the implied probability of an outcome happening based on the odds you’ve entered. To be honest though, after a while you’ll probably find yourself converting odds in your head without even thinking. Example. In this example, we’ll convert fractional odds of 9/1 into decimal odds. To do this, we simply divide the number on the left by the number on the right and then add one, which accounts for our stake… So, fractional odds of 9/1 is the same as decimal odds of 10.00. Here are some other examples… 5/1 – 5 divided by 1 equals 5, plus 1 equals 6.00 6/4 – 6 divided by 4 equals 1.5, plus 1 equals 2.50 1/2 – 1 divided by 2 equals 0.5, plus 1 equals 1.50. Calculating implied probability. Implied probability is simply the conversion of betting odds into a percentage. It gives us a rough idea of how likely something is to happen. The actual probability of an outcome happening is usually a little less than the implied probability. This is because betting odds factor in the bookmaker’s margin. Bookmakers offer odds that they believe are lower than the actual chances of something happening. This is how they make their money in the long-term. Example 1. In this example, we’ll calculate implied probability from fractional odds of 9/1. To do this, we simply divide the number on the right by the sum of both numbers and then multiply by 100… So, if something has fractional odds of 9/1, it has an implied probability of 10%. Here are some other examples… 5/1 – 1 divided by 6, then multiplied by 100, equals 16.7% 6/4 – 4 divided by 10 , then multiplied by 100, equals 40% 1/2 – 2 divided by 3 , then multiplied by 100, equals 66.7% Example 2. In this example, we’ll calculate implied probability from decimal odds of 10.00. To do this, we simply divide one by the decimal odds and then multiply by 100… So, if something has decimal odds of 10.00, it has an implied probability of 10%. Here are some other examples… 6.00 – 1 divided by 6.00, then multiplied by 100, equals 16.7% 2.50 – 1 divided by 2.50 , then multiplied by 100, equals 40% 1.50 – 1 divided by 1.50 , then multiplied by 100, equals 66.7% Final words. That’s pretty much everything you need to know about betting odds and how they work. In a nutshell, betting odds give us a rough probability of an event occurring and they tell us how much money our bet will return if it wins. Don’t worry if things still feel a little alien at this point. I’ve every faith you’ll get to grips with them in no time!

Sports Betting Odds. Sports Betting Odds Explained. Many people don’t know how to read or calculate sports betting odds, so below we have done our best on explaining how betting odds work. The most common type of sports betting odds used in North America are the American style odds which we explain below. American Style Sports Betting Odds. Most online sportsbooks will list their odds in what is called “American Odds”. There are a couple different versions of sports betting odds, but these American Odds are the most common odds used. Reading and understanding sports betting odds can bet a little confusing to beginners, so we have provided an example below using two NFL football teams: American Odds. The number shown in the bracket represents the odds. The American Odds have two components to them, the first being the positive or negative sign, and the second being the number that follows the sign. The next step is figuring out exactly how much the bet pays out, which is where the numbers in the odds come into play. A listed odd with a – sign in front of it, such as the -140 in our example above, shows us how much money you would need to wager in order to win $100. So using the -140, this would show us that you would need to bet $140 in order to win $100 in profits. You can easily substitute the $100 bet for a $10 bet by moving the decimal place over one spot, showing us that you would need to wager $14 in order to win $10 in profits. Examples: Examples: Below is an example of NFL betting odds taken from an online betting site. The great thing about betting online is that the online sportsbooks will do the calculations for you before you place your bet. You can click on the outcome or team you would like to bet on, and then input the amount you wish to wager and it will show you your potential pay out before you confirm your bet. Ready To Start Betting? MyBookie and BetNow are my two favorite sportsbooks and make betting very easy. You will also get a Free Money Bonus at each sportsbook if you follow either link above. Decimal Style Sports Betting Odds. Decimal style odds are used mostly in Europe, and are pretty easy to understand. To calculate the decimal style odds all you will need to do is simply multiply the amount you wish to wager by the decimal odds shown and you will get your payout. For example it may look something like this: Decimal Odds. Matchup Odds USA 2.40 Brazil 1.55. If you wanted to place a $10 wager on the USA at 2.40 you would simply need to multiply your $10 wager by the 2.40 odds (10 x 2.40) to find out that the payout is $24. It is important to realize that with decimal style odds it includes the amount you wagered, so to find out profits you would need to subtract your wager ($24 – $10) to find out your potential payout is $14 in profits. If you wanted to place a $10 wager on Brazil you would again just multiply $10 x 1.55 to find out that you would win $15.50 total or $5.50 in profits. Decimal style betting odds are very simple to understand, but you won’t see them displayed in many North American sportsbooks. With that said, most online betting sites will allow you to chose the style of betting odds you want displayed, with American odds set as the default.
How Do Odds Work in Betting? If you are planning to start betting, be it casino gambling, sports betting, or any other type, it's important to understand the odds. It would be preposterous and absurd to think about placing bets without having a good grip on the main types of betting odds and the ability to read and interpret the various associated formats. The three main types of betting odds are fractional (British) odds, decimal (European) odds, and American (moneyline) odds. These are simply different ways of presenting the same thing and hold no difference in terms of payouts. This means that a chance (percentage probability) of an event occurring can be converted and presented in any of the aforementioned types of odds. How Fractional Odds Work. Fractional odds (aka British odds, UK odds, or traditional odds) are popular among British and Irish bookies. These are typically written with a “slash (/)” or a “hyphen (-),” e.g. 6/1 or 6-1 and announced as “six-to-one.” Fractional odds are used by some of the world’s largest bookmakers, making them the most preferred odds across the globe. Therefore, the total (potential) return on a stake can be stated as: For instance, one of the major sports betting websites listed the following fractional odds for futures betting on the team to win the 2017-18 NBA Championship. Below is a selection of the three teams that had the lowest odds of winning. Golden State Warriors: 10/11 Houston Rockets: 9/4 Cleveland Cavaliers: 7/1. It can quickly be determined that the Golden State Warriors are the favorites while the odds on Houston and Cleveland winning are longer. That is, one wins only $10 against every $11 wagered on Golden State to be the champions. Meanwhile, one wins $9 against each $4 (i.e. 3.25 times) put at stake for Houston to win, which is a bit less probable. For Cleveland, one wins $7 against each $1 bet. In the above example, if you bet $100 on Golden State to win, you could make a $90.91 profit [$100 x (10/11)], and could get back your initial stake of $100, resulting in a total payout of $190.91. However, if you wager $100 on Houston to win, you could receive a profit of $225 [$100 x (9/4)], in addition to the $100 initial stake leading to a total payout of $325. The potential profit for a Cleveland win would be even higher, as you could make a profit of $700 [$100 x (7/1)]. With the initial stake of $100 being returned, it would make for a total payout of $800. How Decimal Odds Work. Decimal odds (aka European odds, digital odds, or continental odds) are popular in continental Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. These are a bit easier to understand and work with. The favorites and underdogs can be spotted instantaneously by looking at the numbers. The decimal odds number represents the amount one wins for every $1 wagered. For decimal odds, the number represents the total payout, rather than the profit. In other words, your stake is already included in the decimal number (no need to add back your stake), which makes its total payout calculation easier. The total (potential) return on a stake can be calculated as: For instance, one of the renowned betting websites priced the candidates to win the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election. Here, we list the decimal odds for the candidates and the biggest long shot among the candidates listed by the bookmaker. Donald Trump: 4.00 Joe Biden: 1.3. These numbers merely represent the amount one could win against each $1 put at stake. Therefore, if one bets $100 on Donald Trump to be re-elected as president, this person could make a total payout of $400 ($100 x 4.00). This amount includes the initial stake of $100, giving a net profit of $300. Similarly, a bettor could make a total payout of $130 ($100 x 1.3) if they successfully bet $100 on Joe Biden. Deducting $100 from this return gives the bettor the net profit earned. Reviewing the prices that the bookmaker has set for each candidate, it can be determined that according to the bookmaker, the probability of Biden (favorite) winning the election is higher than that for Trump. The higher the total payout (i.e. the higher the decimal odd), the less probable (and riskier) it is for the listed candidate to win. How American (Moneyline) Odds Work. Let’s understand this with the help of an example: One of the popular betting websites priced the NCAA "Sweet 16" men's basketball game between Duke and Syracuse on March 23, 2018, with the following moneyline odds. In this matchup, there is a big difference between the two odds, indicating a much higher probability of Duke winning the game and advancing to the next round of the NCAA Tournament. Key Takeaways. The three main types of betting odds are fractional (British) odds, decimal (European) odds, and American (moneyline) odds. These are simply different ways of presenting the same thing, and hold no difference in terms of payouts. Fractional odds are the ratio of the amount (profit) won to the stake; Decimal odds represent the amount one wins for every $1 wagered; and American odds, depending on the negative or positive sign, either indicate the amount one needs to wager to win $100 or the amount one would win for every $100 staked. The Bottom Line. If you are planning to enter the betting or the gambling world, it is important to be able to understand and interpret all types of odds well. Once you have mastered the three popular types of odds (fractional, decimal, and American), you can move towards a more detailed read on this topic and find out how the house always wins. Please refer to Understanding the Math Behind Betting Odds & Gambling for the conversion between the different formats of odds, the conversion of odds into implied probabilities, and the differences between the true chances of an outcome as well as the odds on display.
How To Read Odds. Understanding betting odds is key to successful betting. If you do not understand betting odds and the probabilities that they imply, you will struggle to succeed in betting on sports long term. You don’t need to be a math genius to succeed in betting on sports, but if you do not understand what betting odds reflect, you are setting yourself up for failure. How to read American odds. There are three popular odds formats: Fractional Odds Decimal Odds American Odds. For the purposes of this article, we will focus on American odds. Know your potential profits when you make a wager with this betting odds calculator. American odds are presented as either positive or negative odds. The following is an example of American odds for an NBA game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls. Put Your Odds Knowledge to the Test. Super Bowl Special Offer.

As previously stated, understanding and calculating the implied probability in betting odds is key to long-term betting success at, for instance, Pointsbet Sportsbook. So how do we calculate the implied probability in American odds? Calculating the implied probability in positive American odds is quite simple: So the implied probability of the Lakers winning the game is 0.4348 (or 43.48%). In this instance, the bookmakers believe the Lakers are a 43.48% chance of winning the game. Calculating the implied probability in negative American odds is fairly straightforward: So in our example, the Bulls are at odds of -140 to win the game. What is the implied probability of these odds? So the implied probability of the Bulls winning the game is 0.5833, or 58.33%. In this case, the bookmakers see the Bulls as a 58.33% chance of winning the game. Value bets. As stated earlier, the key to successful betting is to bet only when there is value. In our example, we should only bet on either the Bulls or the Lakers if we determine that they are a better chance to win the game than what the odds represent. If we believe the Lakers are a better chance to win than 43.48%, we should bet on them. If we believe the Bulls are a better chance to win than 58.33%, then likewise, we should bet on them. Understanding betting odds is crucial to long-term betting success. Possessing an intimate grasp of betting odds and their implied probabilities is fundamental to profitable betting. See real odds at online sportsbooks. At many sportsbooks, you’re free to see the odds no matter what state you happen to be in. However, you can only place real money bets at online sportsbooks odds if you’re located in states that have legal sports betting. However, if you want to bet on horses, you’re more in luck there! Many states allow for online horse racing betting and you can see odds at most of the big horse racing tracks around the world. Betting Against The Odds. In Summary: Betting Odds Explained. Betting odds represent the probability of an outcome occurring and the return (profit) you will receive if your bet is a winner. It could be the likelihood of all of your final four betting picks being correct. The probability represented by betting odds is often referred to as the ‘implied probability’. Understanding the implied probability is crucial. Why? Because you should only bet when you believe the probability of an outcome occurring is higher than the implied probability. But if you would like to learn more about betting odds and alternative odds formats, try this odds converter. Let’s consider an example. Let’s say the New York Giants are facing the Washington Redskins in a regular season NFL game. The Giants are at odds of -110 to cover the betting line of -3.5 points. The probability implied in the odds -110 is 52.4%. You’ve done your research and have determined the Giants are a 60% chance to cover the -3.5 betting line. As 60% is greater than 52.4%, you have found what is commonly referred to as a ‘value bet’. However, if following your research you determined that the Giants are only a 45% chance to cover the -3.5 points betting line, the implied probability of the odds is greater than your determined probability. You have not found a value bet and should not place a bet on the Giants.
Sports Betting Explained: What’s A Prop Bet? With sports betting becoming more popular by the day, Super Bowl 55 is in line to be the event with the largest volume of wagering in history. It should be noted that sports betting is not legal in every state in the U.S. just yet, but with more and more states adding legal wagering to their docket, the level of interest is sky-high. To that end, we are continuing a series of explainers on sports betting, following up on a general introduction to the space that explains different kinds of wagers, how odds are calculated, and much more. The second installment is timely when considering the Super Bowl as the backdrop, and it centers on the wide world of prop betting. What is a prop bet, exactly? The most common wagers on a sporting event are covered in our general intro, and they are directly linked to the outcome/score of the game. Those wagers include point spreads, over/under totals, and money lines but, again, they are focused on the actual result of the contest in a big-picture sense. Prop bets (or proposition bets) are wagers that are not directly linked to the overall score or outcome. There are many ways to examine this space, but prop bets gained notoriety from the Super Bowl in many cases, with all eyes fixed on a single game and bookmakers looking for creative ways to entice the public into sinking more money into the action. Prop bets are still far less common than standard point spread bets or total bets, but they are gaining steam, especially in the world of offshore betting, and can be a lot of fun. Standard Game Props. At this point in 2021, game props are available well beyond the Super Bowl, but they can be quite simple and also a bit more complicated. One type of game prop would be an over/under listing on the longest pass play of the game (over/under 27.5 yards, for example). That means a handicapper could wager on either side of that number for the longest pass play, and the same applies for wagers like shortest touchdown, longest touchdown, total penalty yardage, and more. That encompasses a great deal of the game prop market, but there are others to consider. For example, a prominent Super Bowl bet is whether the game will go to overtime, with “yes” and “no” offered. These yes/no bets are very easy to track, simply because it is clear whether the event takes place or not. Finally, there are team vs. team wagers that fall under a similar umbrella. Which team will have more rushing yards? Which team will score first? Which team will score last? Which team will kick more field goals? All of these bets could be (or have been) available for any game, with the bettor given the option to choose a side. Player Props. This may be oversimplified, but player props basically encompass any wager dictated by the performances of individual players. For example, a popular Super Bowl bet is which player will score the first touchdown, with sportsbooks offering sometimes long odds on various players, with only one able to cash a winning ticket. This could also be applied to basketball with which player scores the first (or last) point of the game, or to baseball with the first/last/most home runs of the night. Those are broad bets that could pay lofty odds if things break just a certain way, but there are also more common over/under bets. The Super Bowl is, again, a good example here, with the ability to wager on the over/under for passing yards from Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes. Bookmakers build lines for yards (passing, receiving, rushing, etc.), receptions, completions, carries, touchdowns and much more in the football space, with points, rebounds and assists in basketball and hits, strikeouts, and home runs in baseball. This is a more efficient market in recent years, simply because many smart people are now finding value, but these can also be entertaining and a way to track a “game within the game.” Exotics. This is the area where a gigantic game, i.e. the Super Bowl, really shines. One of the more famous examples is a large market on just how long the national anthem will be, from start to finish, before kick-off. Another could be tied to the coin toss, with people able to wager on “heads” versus “tails.” It can even be as weird as tracking what words the announcers say, or what color someone’s shoes are, or whether the Gatorade poured over the winning coach’s head is green, orange, blue, or a different color. Yes, this is hilarious and often weird. Yes, it can also be delightful, but it certainly trends more to the “entertainment purposes only” genre of sports handicapping.
What Is A Point Spread? Betting Odds And Strategy. Point spread betting is the most popular form of sports betting. The vast majority of sports wagers use a point spread thanks to the popularity of football and basketball. Even though this type of betting is so popular, it may take awhile to understand. The point spread is sometimes known as an equalizer for sportsbook operators. All teams aren’t created equally, so sportsbooks can create a point spread for a game so that each team playing has an almost even chance of winning the game. In a way, the point spread will even the field for both teams . The point spread gives a reason for bettors to risk money on both teams. The better team playing in the game is considered favorite. They have to win by the point spread offered by the sportsbook. The favorite in a game is listed as being minus (-) the point spread. Let’s use the upcoming Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an example. Using this example, the Chiefs opened as 3-point favorites over the Buccaneers (currently Chiefs ). The Chiefs need to win by 4 or more points to cover the spread. Likewise, the Buccaneers opened as 3-point underdogs. That means the Buccaneers would need to win the game outright or not lose the contest by 4 points or more. If the line is Chiefs -3 and they win by exactly 3 points, the betting result is a “push” and bettors for both sides would get their wagers refunded. Point spread betting odds. Point spreads are usually set with -110 odds , but pricing often fluctuates at online sportsbooks. This is the sportsbook operators’ house edge . The odds guarantee the sportsbook operator will see a little money over time. When the odds are set at -110, the bettor must wager $110 to win $100 (or $11 to win $10). The odds on a point spread are most commonly known as the vigorish or “vig” for the sportsbook. You might hear this small profit margin for the sportsbook called the “juice” by some sports bettors. Point spread FAQs. What does ‘pick em’ or ‘pick’ mean in NFL betting? A “pick em” (sometimes seen as “pick”) is when the teams have a point spread of zero, meaning neither team is favored. In this instance, you’re essentially picking moneyline and your bet will be determined on the winner alone. A spread of minus-seven (-7) means that a is favored to win the game by a touchdown (technically, a touchdown and the extra point). A team favored by -7 must win the game by eight or more points to win the bet. If the team wins by seven, the result is a “push” and the bet is refunded. A -3 spread means that the favorite must win by more than a field goal to win the wager. A three-point win would result in a push and the sportsbook would refund the wager. Why are point spreads in the NFL so much lower than in college? Point spread and odds movement. Sportsbook operators often aim to have equal money on both sides of a point spread. When the money is exactly split the sportsbook operator will see the exact vigorish as their profit margin. If all things are equal over time this will maximize how much money the sportsbook operator can make. In an effort to have equal money on both sides of a wager, the sportsbook operator will move the point spread to attract money on the side that customers aren’t betting on. The odds for a point spread might change before the actual point spread. There are certain point spread numbers, like 3 and 7 in football, the sportsbook operators would like to avoid moving away from since the final score margin falls on these two numbers most often. For example, if a lot more money is wagered on the New England Patriots -3, the vig may shift from -112 to -115 and -120 before the line moves to -3.5. Run and puck lines. Football and basketball games are mostly bet using a point spread. The less popular major sports, baseball and hockey, are mostly bet using a moneyline . In an effort to make baseball and hockey more appealing to point spread bettors, the sportsbook operators offer run and puck lines, respectively. These alternative lines give point spread bettors a chance to wager on other sports using a more familiar method of betting. Since points (runs and goals) aren’t as easy to come by in baseball and hockey, the odds with the lines may have a wider spread than a football or basketball game. Bet with your head, not over it.

Understanding the different types of betting options is crucial when you’re getting a start as a first-time sports bettor. The Point Spread: Betting the spread. For those new to sports betting, the point spread is the simplest, most straightforward approach to placing wagers. Sports books set a predetermined margin of points on a game and a team must win – or not lose – by that set number. That’s why you’ll often hear people say the team won, but they “didn’t cover the spread” so their bet still came up short. It’s not a matter of a team winning or losing like in a moneyline bet. For a favorite: The favorite must win by more than the point spread. For an underdog: The underdog must outright win OR lose by fewer than the point spread. Sports books aren’t in the business of predicting who will win or lose games. Their goal is setting a pre-game point spread with the intention to generate an equal amount of betting action/volume on both sides of the ledger – as much total money being bet on the favorite as on the underdog. Related. Betting 101: What is over under sports betting? Betting 101: What is a money line bet in sports betting? The vast majority of point spread wagers are made on football and basketball because of the proliferation of points that are scored in comparison to sports like baseball and hockey, where 1-0 or 2-1 games aren’t that out of the question or out of the norm. There’s one every night. For example, the New England Patriots are playing the New York Jets and New England is a 9½-point favorite. Bettors typically have to spend $110 or so to win $100 with sports books, known as “the house edge/advantage.” With a point spread bet, simply having a team win the game isn’t the key. The critical factor to betting a point spread is how much a team wins or loses by. If a wager is placed on New England – “laying” the 9½ points – the Patriots need to win the game by 10 or more points for that bet to pay off. If New England wins 28-20, those betting on the Jets plus 9½ points (points added to their final total) win the bet. The same general rules apply for basketball and are quite easy to follow because of the inherent simplicity of the bet. When it comes to betting sports like baseball and hockey, the standard bets are made on the “money line” – an established number for both teams to win the game outright. What makes point spread bets attractive are the fluid nature of each game – it’s a reality show that, when done right, is inexplicable. Games change on one play and momentum is a thing. But, when it comes to point spread betting, you know where you stand at every moment. For those just starting out, the simplest form of gambling is betting the spread because it’s the easiest to explain and understand, which explains why it is the most popular form of sports wagering.
Point Spreads in Sports Betting. Understanding Point Spreads in Football and Basketball. Sports betting would be easy — or maybe just easier — if all that was required was to correctly pick the winning team. Gambling institutions, sportsbooks and bookies fall back on point spreads to make the process a little more difficult and to create the ultimate wagering challenge. You'll need a solid understanding of the point spread system if you hope to have a profitable season. How the Point Spread Works. The point spread is a handicap placed on one team for betting purposes only, it has no place in the game itself. It's designed to give both teams an equal chance at winning in the context of wagers. Think of it this way: If last season's Super Bowl champion was playing a basement-dweller team that hadn't won a game all year, that's a shoo-in bet. Of course, you're going to take the Super Bowl champs, and in all likelihood, you're going to win. What's the fun in that? Even your bragging rights would be next to nil. But what if the basement-dweller team was spotted 24 points? That's the concept behind the point spread. When two teams meet on the football field or a basketball court, one team is typically better than the other. If all bettors had to do was to pick the winning team, everybody would simply wager on the best team and collect their money. Gambling institutions, sportsbooks, and bookies would soon go broke. A Real Life Example. The Carolina Panthers played the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50. Few people doubted that Carolina was the better of the two teams, so the majority of bettors would have taken the Panthers if they had only been required to pick the winning team. If Carolina were to win 24-17, Panthers' bettors would win their wager. If the Panthers were to win 21-17, Carolina bettors would lose because they did not win by more than those 6 points. If you bet the underdog, you'd win your bet if the Broncos won the game outright or if they lost by 5 points or less. Because the Broncos are the underdogs, we would add 6 points to their final score for betting purposes. If the Panthers were to win the game by exactly 6 points, 23-17, it would be a tie and all wagers would be refunded to bettors. Money Lines Vs. Point Spreads. You'll also usually be given the option to wager on the game with the money line in football and basketball. In this case, all you have to do is pick the winner of the contest, but there's one drawback. If you bet on the team that's expected to win, you can find yourself risking much more money than you stand to win. Each team is assigned odds, much like in a horse race where a 2-1 favorite will pay out much less than a 15-1 longshot. This method also evens the playing field for bookies, sportsbooks and other gambling institutions. Deciding when to bet using the point spread and when to use the money line is just one of the decisions bettors have to make on an ongoing basis if they want to play the game. There are no rules etched in stone.

While the TopBet sign-up bonus is supposed to be worth 100 percent of your first deposit, the most recent sports betting site reviews have been pretty unfavorable. You can look at our overall TopBet review for more information. For now, though, we wouldn't endorse using them. YouWin. Unfortunately, there isn't a YouWin sign-up bonus right now. Similar to a few other sportsbooks, they like to let their other features make their case for them. And to that end, YouWin does a great job. They have one of the more pleasant website experiences, and they are among the sportsbook websites that publish their betting lines quickly and then update them in real-time. WagerWeb. We can guarantee you won't be disappointed with the WagerWeb sign-up bonus. They will match 100 percent of your first deposit up to $1,000.

We are not implying that NBA referees influence the outcome of your wagers, however, you can identify tendencies that could be an important part of your strategy. What’s interesting is that bettors rarely consider who is behind the whistle when it comes to betting basketball contests.

How Valuable Is NBA Referee Data For Making Bets? That’s certainly up for debate. NBA basketball referee factors have been something that handicappers have been utilizing for years and the NBA betting sites absolutely factor in which official is refereeing each contest into their betting lines. Also, while it’s true that officials who call more fouls preside over higher scoring affairs, and there seems to be a significant home team bias – referees are only one factor in the larger handicapping landscape of each game. More Fouls Means More Points In The NBA. Historically, an increase in foul calls equals more points scored. There shouldn’t be too much explanation needed for this point, but we’ll go ahead with it. Basketball is a game of possessions and pace. The more possessions each team receives, the more points that will be scored in that contest. This should be evident to anyone who has watched the end of a close Basketball game. The final two minutes of game time in a close basketball game can turn into a half hour of actual real-world time. This is usually because the team that is losing is often fouling or chucking up shots early in the shot-clock to get back into the game. Referees that call more fouls will lengthen games and offer more possessions for both teams. Foul calls also stop the clock and allow teams to put more points on the board without time elapsing from the game clock. The more fouls calls, the more points will be scored. Therefore, referees, that call more fouls will produce more points in the games they officiate. NBA Basketball Referee Hand Signals. During the game, you’ll notice referees use countless signals to communicate effectively with the rest of the crew. Basketball has specific signs for each situation. You can divide the referee signals into four categories: points, time, administrative decisions, and fouls. As a bettor and NBA fan, I’m certain you might feel intrigued in knowing what is the meaning of those gestures. Understanding some NBA basketball referee signals will provide you with a deeper knowledge of the game and a more technical way to follow the action. NBA Basketball Referee Salary. NBA referees are paid based on their experience, it’s not an easy task to find data from reputable sources about how much the officials make, the league rarely provides information about it. However, according to the last numbers shared by the NBA in 2009, entry-level officials make around $91,000 a year. On the other hand, experienced referees earned an average of $550,000 per year and the best and most famous referees earn even higher salaries, but there’s no accurate way to know how much higher.

There are many other factors to consider before we begin to look at referees, but a strong matchup with officials may upgrade a play that may already be on handicapper’s radar screens.

What Is Arbitrage Betting? Strategy To Beat The Sportsbooks. Arbitrage is an advanced sports betting strategy that comes from the financial world. This strategy involves multiple wagers on the same game in order to guarantee a profit. An opportunity to arbitrage for a game is more about making money than betting and rooting on a particular team. To be clear, arbitrage is a sports betting strategy that guarantees a profit . This isn’t a get rich quick scheme and isn’t illegal. It takes effort to find an arbitrage opportunity. This kind of gambling isn’t for everyone, but all sports bettors could use this tool as part of their wagering plans. This might sound too good to be true but it isn’t. The most difficult part about arbitrage is actually finding the opportunity. What is arbitrage? In the financial world, arbitrage is considered “the simultaneous purchase and sale of an asset to profit from an imbalance in the price. It is a trade that profits by exploiting the price differences of identical or similar financial instruments on different markets or in different forms.” Arbitrage is similar for sports bettors. This betting strategy involves placing a wager on all possible outcomes of an individual game or event so that that there’s a guaranteed profit regardless of the winner. The name might sound complicated but the idea of arbitrage is actually quite simple. How to arbitrage in sports betting. The goal of arbitrage betting is to find inefficiencies in the sports betting market in order to guarantee a profit. Sportsbooks often set odds so that they have even (or close to even) money wagered on both sides. There are times when sportsbooks have different odds from one another and this results in an opportunity to arbitrage a game. Arbitrage betting is done by placing multiple wagers on different outcomes of a single sports event. One of the wagers will win while the other wager will lose. If done correctly, the result will be a small win for the bettor regardless of which side wins. Arbitrage math and results. An example should help explain how to arbitrage a game. New York Yankees vs. Houston Astros. In this example, a bettor will wager $100 on each team. The total amount of wagers for this game will be $200. Regardless of which team wins the game, the bettor will be paid $110 for a winning wager plus the original $100 for a total of $210. Altogether there was $200 wagered on this baseball game. There is a guaranteed return of $210 no matter who wins the game . The total profit of this investment was $10. This is a guaranteed 5% return; that’s solid for a short-term investment. The return will remain the same if a bettor can risk more than $200. Grinding out small wins over time can help a bettor grow their bankroll . In the example above, the rate of return will be 5% no matter how much money is wagered. An arbitrage opportunity can be useful for any sized bankroll. A larger bettor might be able to risk $2,000 on the same game. The 5% return, in this case, would give the bettor a profit of $100 while the 10% return would return $200. Having a large bankroll helps grow profits quicker but isn’t necessary. Anyone can use arbitrage to supplement their sports betting bankroll. Lastly, the odds don’t have to be the same for both wagers. The example above is just keeping the math simple. Line shopping. Line shopping is important for all sports bettors but especially when looking for an arbitrage opportunity. Finding the best odds for a game will take place at multiple sportsbooks. Unfortunately arbitraging a game isn’t a get rich quick scheme. Finding the right odds takes time and effort. Having said that, this extra work also helps a bettor become profitable. Even if this isn’t a particularly fun strategy, the underlying approach can be helpful for all sports bettors. Line shopping is one way to be a more profitable sports bettor – and it isn’t difficult in most states that have multiple legal sportsbooks. The process of line shopping isn’t difficult but it does take a time switching between apps and websites to compare the information. Visiting different sportsbooks to find the best lines and odds will help a bettor in multiple ways. An arbitrage opportunity will always be profitable. Finding the best moneyline for an event will obviously pay more money. Finding the best point spread for a game increases the chance that a team will cover and the bettor will win the wager. There’s always an upside to placing bets with the best odds available. Arbitrage isn’t for everyone. Sports betting arbitrage is an advanced strategy and it’s not for everyone. All sports bettors want to win but they have different motivations. Recreational sports bettors often seek to have some action on the game they’re watching or the team they’re rooting for. Sure all bettors want to win but sometimes the goal is to have fun watching the game and to win money based on predicting the outcome correctly. Professional sports bettors are strictly gambling to make a profit. These bettors appreciate being able to find arbitrage opportunities. Pro sports bettors are always looking for ways to make money when wagering on sports and are typically the type of bettor most open to arbitrage. There’s a large number of sports bettors that fall in between these two extremes. These bettors will put in the work to find the best information and odds for games they’d like to wager. Many will do the extra work to find an arbitrage situation because generating a profit is the most fun part of gambling. However, arbitrage betting takes time and even an advanced recreational bettor may not have time to always seek out opportunities. There are pros and cons to all kinds of sports wagers. Arbitrage is a great opportunity to generate small guaranteed profits on a game. This is another great tool available to sports bettors.
What’s the Best Way to Finding Arbitrage Betting Opportunities? Sports betting is supposed to be extremely hard to beat. In fact, only a small percentage of bettors win long-term profits through this type of gambling. Arbitrage betting (arbing) offers you a shortcut toward making money. You can be the world’s worst handicapper and still win through arbing. This method involves wagering on all outcomes of a match in a way that guarantees profit. To do this, you must find two or more bookmakers that differ enough on the odds to lock in your win. Here’s an example: The trouble with arbing is that it doesn’t offer a very big profit margin. Nevertheless, you can still win a decent amount of money if your wagers are large enough. Of course, you have to find good arbs before counting your winnings. That said, I’ll discuss more on this subject, including software that can help you spot profitable opportunities. The Main Challenge Is Finding Arbs. The sportsbook and online sportsbooks aren’t any help themselves aren’t any help with arbitrage betting; they actually despise arbers. Therefore, you’ll be on your own when trying to find these opportunities. Assuming you can regularly spot arbs, then you can make profits again and again. The good news is that plenty of arbs exist on a daily basis. After all, the sports betting world is filled with different markets. The trouble, though, is that you need to both find arbs and bet on each leg in time. Assuming you mess up just one of the legs, then your guaranteed profit will likely be gone. Here’s an example: Arbitrage betting is a combination of making profitable wagers and capitalizing on opportunities in time. If you’re able to master these skills, then you can look forward to consistent winnings. You Can’t Rely on Finding Arbs by Yourself. Your first inclination regarding arbitrage gambling may be to try and find opportunities yourself. Doing so requires monitoring a variety of sportsbooks and looking for potential arbs. You can theoretically still find winning opportunities this way. But your chances of doing so with any consistency are next to nothing. Again, bookmakers hate arbers. They normally remain close to each other in terms of odds to avoid giving up arbs. Of course, sportsbooks do differ enough on the odds sometimes to create winning opportunities. But they often close these gaps before too many gamblers can take advantage. If you’ve got 10 sportsbooks open on your phone and keep refreshing them, then you’ll be terrible at timing arbs. Long story short, you can’t do it on your own. You Must Use Arb Software. The only sensible way to arbitrage bet is to use software. You need a program that specifically seeks out arbitrage betting opportunities. Some programs are designed solely for finding arbs and alerting you to them. These “arb finders” are even available for free in some cases (covered later). General sports betting software programs can do the same trick in some cases. You can also use these programs for other purposes, such as finding steam moves, public betting percentages, and updated odds. The key is for you to find a program that tracks this information so you don’t have to. Free Arbitrage Betting Software Exists. You’ll be pleased to know that you don’t have to spend anything on arbitrage gambling software. Instead, plenty of free programs exist across the internet. The obvious advantage of free software is that you don’t need to pay for anything. Instead, you can just fire up these programs and begin looking for arbs. The downside is that freebies don’t work extremely well. They suffer from the following problems: They don’t cover many markets They don’t refresh quickly Odds often come in on a delay It’s hard to bet each leg in time when relying on these programs. You may ultimately decide to invest in software when considering free programs’ limitations. But if you’re still interested in the latter, then you’ll be happy to know that they’re easy to use. Many companies offer a free version of their software that includes an arb-finding option. You can continue using this version until deciding to upgrade to the premium service. The arb-finding feature is self-explanatory in most cases. You just need to apply the relevant filter to figure out where you can take advantage of arbs. You May Want to Buy Software. Whether or not you decide to pay for arbing software depends upon how serious you are about the matter. You might begin by using a free service and placing low-stakes wagers. This route gives you a chance to decide how serious you are about the matter. Assuming you do become a serious arber, then you should consider upgrading. Doing so provides you with the following advantages: Odds refresh faster and give you a stronger chance to bet every leg in time. Your get extra features, such as alerts, arbing calculator, and more-detailed filters. More markets are covered. Of these benefits, speed is of the utmost importance. Arbs don’t hang around forever, making free programs risky. You can cut down on this risk by paying for software. You’ll receive refreshed odds at a faster rate with more in-depth programs. Concerns With Arbing and Paying for Software. The other side of the equation is that you might not find arbing enjoyable or worth your time. You’ll especially feel this way if you have a small bankroll and are only making a few dollars per arb. Even with the best software, arbitrage betting can be a time-consuming process. You’ll likely question the hours you pour into the matter with the slim profit margins involved. Another downside is that your account may be limited or even banned. Conclusion. Arbitrage betting is a promising way to make money through sports gambling. When arbitrage betting is done right, it can deliver guaranteed profits. You just need to find situations where bookmakers differ enough on odds for a given match to win. Of course, this process is easier said than done. Technically, you can find arbs by yourself. You can constantly refresh online sportsbooks on your phone and monitor the odds. But you’ll be putting yourself through hell with this method. Instead, you should use either free or paid arb finders. These programs are designed to monitor lines and alert you to arbs. This scenario cuts out a lot of the work involved with arbitrage gambling. The good news is that you can use free programs if you don’t feel like investing in software. The drawback, though, is that free arb finders don’t refresh odds quickly or cover as many markets. Buying software comes with the obvious downside of having to spend money. But the benefit is that you’ll get updated odds faster and find arbs across more markets. In the end, you need to decide how serious you are about arbitrage betting. Assuming you’re really serious about making money from the matter, then you should pay for software. If you just want to get your feet wet with arbing, then the free programs should suffice. You may even be able to make a little money with this software. I suggest arbing with a large bankroll. The more you’re able to wager, the higher profit margins you’ll earn. Of course, nothing is stopping you from arbing with a smaller bankroll. But the profits you earn will essentially amount to pennies or dollars per arb.

What is Sports Arbitrage or Scalping - Arbitrage & Scalping Explained Definition. What is Sports Arbitrage or Scalping? Arbitrage or Scalping put simply is the action of betting on both sides of a game at different sports books to guarantee a profit no matter the outcome of the game. Arbitrage is not a new concept by any means. It has been done in the stock and other financial markets for years. It’s also been done in sports betting for some time however it wasn’t as easy or as profitable before internet sports books came on the scene. Before the internet, bettors in Las Vegas would need to make mad dashes from sports book to sports book in hopes of catching a scalp before lines moved. Now bettors can shop multiple prices within a short period of time and capitalize on line variances that in the past would of took hours to collect. So How Does it Work? I like to explain scalping to people with the following example using Major League Baseball money lines. Sports book B has the Texas Rangers listed at -110. As you can see from this example the difference in these lines is $10. To complete the scalp Nancy would also need to bet Texas at sports book B for $-110 and if the Rangers won she would win $210 (her $110 stake and $100 in profit). Now, as you can see from the above example that no matter which team wins the game Nancy will make $10. How Much Can You Make Scalping? There a number of factors to consider when calculating potential profit from scalping. First of which is your bankroll and betting limits. The more money you can devote to scalping and the higher limits your sports book will take play a key role in how much return you can expect. Next is the availability of the variances. Sometimes you can sit at your computer all day and watch the scalps just roll in. Other times, you may only see a couple of scalps per day. Because you are at the mercy of the oddsmakers line movements you really can never predict how many scalps will be available to you. Lastly, the amount of the variances will play a big role in your bottom line. On average, most scalps range from a few cents up to around twenty cents. Occasionally you will be able to find one higher but they are the exception, not the rule and generally are only available for a matter of minutes. The key to managing these variances is to be able to have the patience to pass on the variances of only a couple cents and wait for the ones that are around ten cents or more. What Do You Need to Get Started in Arbitrage? You can start scalping with just a computer, some money and a handful of funded sports book accounts. However to make it worth doing you will need a couple of essentials. Arbitrage Calculator. Because you are dealing in real money you want to do everything possible to minimize mistakes that could cost you dearly. That’s where the Arbitrage Calculator comes in. Essentially an Arbitrage Calculator is either a spreadsheet or web based program that calculates your scalp for you to eliminate the guess work and the mistakes. Line Service. This is not completely essential to scalping however it will make your life a whole lot easier. Without a lines program, you will be resigned to manually visiting each sports book constantly to check the most current lines. This is incredibly time consuming and often times you will miss a scalp because of it. With a line services you will be able to view the latest odds from dozens of sports books at once and in real-time. Many have scalp alerts built into the program which will give you an audible alert or a pop-up when a scalp is available. Some of the more popular ones available today are Sports Insights and Line Tracker. Prices range from $300-$600/month.

Breaking down Super Bowl coin toss betting splits. We break down the novelty coin toss prop bets and predictions available on DraftKings Sportsbook ahead of Super Bowl 55. Share this story.

Everyone’s favorite prop bet is just around the corner, as the Super Bowl 55 matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers is set to kick off on Feb. 7 at 6:30 p.m. ET in Raymond James Stadium. Coin toss wagers are one of the most popular novelty prop bets offered by DraftKings Sportsbook, and they involve the toss result, who wins the toss if the player calling it is correct, and who wins the game. We broke down the odds below. Coin toss outcome. Regardless of whether the coin lands on heads or tails, the odds are -103. You’ve got a 50 percent chance of getting this one right, but recent results suggest that one of the two options will give you an edge. The motto “tails never fails” has held true lately, as the coin has landed on tails in six of the last seven Super Bowls. The circumstances surrounding this Super Bowl aren’t the norm, but I’d stick with the side that has all the “momentum” in the world. The public has placed 55 percent of the handle and 52 percent of the total bets on tails. Coin toss winner. The Chiefs were the home team last year and didn’t get to make the call, but that’s not the case this year. You have to think that Kansas City knows how Super Bowl coin tosses have played out in recent title games. Both sides are locked in at -106 to win the toss, but I like the chances of the team that gets to actually make the call. The public seems to think the Chiefs will blow it. The Buccaneers command 56 percent of the handle and bets on coin toss winner wagers. Player calls toss correctly. Whether the player who makes the call is right or wrong, the odds are -106. If you believe the Chiefs have an edge because their fate doesn’t depend on the opposition’s decision, they’re the best choice. But who knows, maybe Kansas City will go against the grain and call heads. The betting splits are a bit odd here. The public has placed 74 percent of the handle and 70 percent of the total bets on Kansas City to call the coin toss correctly despite backing the Bucs as the coin toss winner. Result of coin toss and game winner.
Super Bowl Coin Toss Betting Odds, Trends and Analysis. Henry John February 5, 2021. Heads or Tails? Out of the hundreds of Super Bowl prop bets available for the NFL betting public to wager on, none are as straight forward as the pregame coin toss. The literal 50-50 odds of the Super Bowl coin toss landing on either heads or tails make it a difficult prop to handicap in terms of finding an edge. Nonetheless, the simplicity combined with the instant gratification result makes it one of the most popular prop wagers among the betting public on an annual basis. For bettors interested in having Super Bowl coin toss betting action for this year’s Chiefs vs Buccaneers matchup, you’ve come to the right spot. The following contains the official coin toss betting odds, betting trends, a look at this year’s official Super Bowl coin and analysis to try and help you pick the winning side. Super Bowl Coin Toss Betting Odds. Result of Coin Toss: Heads (-105) | Tails (-105) Will the Team that Calls the Coin Toss Be Correct: Yes: (-105) | No (-105) Will the Team that Wins the Coin Toss Win the Game: Yes: (-110) | No: (-110) Super Bowl Coin Toss History. Last year saw TAILS increase its all-time lead over HEADS in all-time results. In the 54 previous Super Bowls, TAILS now owns a 29-25 advantage. Last year also extended a recent run of TAILS dominance in the Super Bowl coin toss. The “backside” of the coin has now come up in six of the last seven years. Prior to this most recent stretch, HEADS had won six out of seven flips. While TAILS may enjoy the all-time advantage, it’s certainly a slim lead at that. 53.7%. This slim margin would suggest that the probability of the Super Bowl coin toss is indeed 50-50 over the long haul. Team-Specific Super Bowl Coin Toss History. Winning the coin toss has not translated into winning the Super Bowl itself in the 54-year history of the big game. The San Francisco 49ers won last year’s coin flip but failed to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. All told, only 24 teams (44.4%) who won their respective Super Bowl coin toss have gone on to win the game itself. Interestingly enough, of those 24 occurrences, 12 had a coin toss result of HEADS and 12 TAILS. Go figure! Let’s take a look at the previous Super Bowl coin toss history for this year’s participating teams, the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Chiefs Coin Toss History. The Chiefs won their second Super Bowl title last season. With that said, Kansas City remained winless (0-3) in Super Bowl coin tosses after losing last year’s flip in Super Bowl LIV. The TAILS that came up last year was the second in Kansas City’s three Super Bowl appearances, joining a TAILS result from Super Bowl IV. The only HEADS to come up in a Super Bowl featuring the Chiefs came all the way back in Super Bowl I. Buccaneers Coin Toss History. It’s a short coin toss history for the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay was victorious in their only prior appearance, with TAILS facing skyward on the Super Bowl XXXVII flip. The Bucs may have a short list of Super Bowl appearances, but their quarterback, Tom Brady, certainly doesn’t. Super Bowl LV will be Brady’s tenth appearance in the big game after reaching the Super Bowl nine times with the New England Patriots. Interestingly enough, Brady and the Patriots only won two of those nine coin tosses. TAILS also has been the winning side in six of Brady’s nine previous Super Bowls. Heads or Tails: What’s the Call? Historical trends, data and results from prior Super Bowl coin flips are great and all, but how should one go about betting this year’s toss? There have actually been experiments done on coin toss procedures and how they might correlate with results. One study which was overseen by a math and stats professor at Stanford University yielded some particularly interesting findings. According to Dr. Persi Diaconis, the side of the coin facing up when flipped actually has a quantifiable advantage. Diaconis and his research team proposed that the true odds of a coin toss are actually closer to 51-49 in favor of the side facing up when the coin is thrown into the air than they are to being 50-50. Do with this information what you will. For the record though, last year’s Super Bowl coin did in fact have TAILS facing up when it was tossed! One other tidbit of information that bettors might find useful relates to this year’s ceremonial coin. Rumor has it that the HEADS face of the Super Bowl LV coin is just a touch heavier than TAILS. Combine that information with any number of gravitational force laws and other formulas and one can conclude that this slight weight differential would favor a TAILS victory.

The Kansas City Chiefs wil meet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl 55 from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida on Feb. 7, 2021. The Chiefs opened as -3.5 betting favorites while the Buccaneers are 3.5 underdogs. After early wagers came in, most operators are holding Kansas City -3 (-120). If you were to wager on Kansas City -3, you would have to lay 5/6 odds (Bet $120 to win $100) instead of your normal 10/11 juice (Bet $110 to win $100). The return on Tampa Bay would be even-money (1/1) and a $100 wager would return $100. The total or over-under on Super Bowl 55 is hovering between 56 and 57 points. How to read NFL Las Vegas Odds. The point-spread was developed to provide a balance for both teams involved in a contest to entice bettors to potentially back the weaker team and receive points. The two squads in a game are listed with a title, either a favorite or an underdog. The favorite is usually the perceived better team in the game, as backing them means giving up several points. Ex. Bet $110 to win $100 (10% juice) Ex. Bet $100 to win $90.91 (10% juice) It's not uncommon to see other values posted other than -10. Examples seen on the NFL Vegas Odds pages could include -08 , -12 , -15 and -20 . The -10 price is the most common value in the industry while many books offer reduced 'juice odds' and that would fall into the -08 category. The lower-juice sportsbooks are normally found outside of the state Nevada. If you are in a state where sports betting is legal, please check out our online sportsbook directory to find the best and most secure places to make NFL bets. Another number that’s posted on the NFL Las Vegas is the total or ‘over/under’ for the specific matchup. If the favorite is designated as the home team, then the total will be listed above and vice versa if the visitors are favorites. All of the above numbers are listed next to the teams, and before each matchup is a Rotation number. The NFL Las Vegas Odds are listed in order of rotation and those numbers are generated and produced by the sportsbooks. Above each matchup and rotation is the Time of the game, which is subject to change. All game times are Eastern Standard Time. NFL Open Line. One of the best features on the NFL Vegas Odds is the Open Line. This numbers consists of the first betting line received from one of our Las Vegas or Global Sportsbooks. The opening line varies depending on the sportsbook but it provides a clear-cut rating that the oddsmakers use. If you’re betting on the NFL or any other sport, it’s a great idea to view the open line first. VI Consensus NFL Line. How do I bet on the Super Bowl? We know that you can bet on the Super Bowl and all of NFL Futures or bet on the NFL Draft at any time of the year, but what’s the process? The future wager or the “Odds to Win” bet on the Super Bowl is correctly selecting a team to win an event that takes place at a later time. A bettor will have his wagered money tied up until there is an outcome and bettors will receive fixed odds when they place the wager. In the case of the Super Bowl, you’re not a winner or loser until you see zeros on the clock in the final game. Most sportsbooks offer different ways to read to Super Bowl Odds. In the fractional NFL Futures Odds format below, you simply take the odds and multiply by the amount wagered. Ex. Green Bay (8/1) to win the Super Bowl. The Packers are listed as an 8/1 betting choice to win the Super Bowl. If you wager $100 on Green Bay to win the NFC and they capture the championship, then you would win $800 (8 ÷ 1 x 100). Your online betting account would then credit your account $900, which includes your win and stake ($100). If you are in a state where online betting is legal, we encourage you to check out our sportsbook directory to find the most trustworthy and reputable sites and mobile apps to place your Super Bowl bets.
2024 US Presidential Election Odds. NAME ODDS CHANGE Kamala Harris 22.2% 2.20% Joe Biden 16.7% — Donald Trump 9.1% — Nikki Haley 9.1% — Pete Buttigieg 6.7% — Mike Pence 5.9% — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 5.3% — Donald Trump Jnr 5.3% — Eric Trump 5.3% — Ivanka Trump 5.3% — Implied probabilities are calculated using odds offered by Betfair. Last Updated: 2021-02-06 18:00:30 PDT. For news on what affected the presidential odds during the 2020 election, please see our prior news coverage: 2020 US presidential election odds coverage archive: 2024 US Presidential Election Odds. The 2020 US Presidential election was considered to be the most important election of modern times. Even before the close of calendar year 2020, there is already talk of the 2024 Presidential election. Trump is already fundraising and declaring his intention to run, which sets up a potentially wild ride for the next 4 years. When it comes to the odds to win the presidency, track the odds here. With up to the minute presidential bet odds bookmark this page and check back often. How Odds On Elections Are Calculated. Presidential betting odds are calculated using an aggregated weighted index including numbers from: Betfair Exchange Betway PredictIt. As of early 2021, only Betfair is offering odds because they are the only bookmaker taking bets on the next election. We assume Betway and PredictIt will be taking bets at some point and those odds will be added in. Once all three bookmakers publish odds, you can use the chart above to view odds from all of them at once, weighted, or check an individual market. A betting exchange (Betfair Exchange, PredicIt) lets people bet against each other. The bookmaker (Betway) takes less risk but will take a small percentage of winnings. Election betting is often referred to as “futures” because it is a wager on a specific, future event. Most election wagers are moneyline bets or straight bets. It’s a straight forward wager normally with no spread involved. For a sporting event, you are bidding on which team will win. For betting on the presidential election, you are bidding on which candidate will win. How Are The Presidential Election Betting Percentages Calculated. When comparing the presidential odds, a plus symbol means that the option is an underdog. The minus symbol means the option is a favorite to win. When Trump’s election odds are set at -125, presidential bet odds give Republicans a 55.56% chance of winning. How Accurate Are The Betting Odds For The Election. As with any wager, it’s important to look at the sources of information that lead people to choose one bet or another. In this case, news coverage and election polling are common sources of information. Prior to the 2016 election, people commonly trusted reliable polling numbers. That’s changed in the 2018 and 2020 elections. In particular, polls leading up to the 2020 elections predicted the Democrats would gain in the US House of Representatives and would take bake the US Senate. Neither of these occurred. So, how accurate are the betting odds? They change daily (and even hourly) based on peoples’ perceptions of who will win the election. If Trump continues to campaign for the 2024 election, the odds could continue to be as volatile as they were in 2020 because of his unpredictability. 2024 Election Key Dates. Many of the key election dates are set months or years in advance. As of early 2021, only two dates have been set for the 2024 election cycle. Primary dates and convention dates have yet to be set. Here are some of the key dates that could affect polling numbers for the 2020 US Presidential election: November 5, 2024 : US Presidential Election January 20, 2025 : Swearing-in of the next President. Can You Bet On The 2024 Election In The US? Legal US online sports betting websites do not accept betting on presidential elections or any other political betting. We don’t see this situation changing before the 2024 election. Although some events during 2020 led election betters to believe this could be changing. West Virginia Election Betting. The West Virginia Lottery briefly approved three sports betting companies to open election betting. With sports betting down and casinos closed due to the Coronavirus, the sports betting companies sought different avenues for revenue. Governor Jim Justice quickly rescinded this approval. Election betting is illegal in West Virginia. Looking for more sports betting odds? Check out our Super Bowl Odds, World Series, Stanley Cup, and NBA Finals. FAQs – U.S. Presidential Election Betting And Odds. The most common prop bet is simply who will win the election. It is also possible to wager on other results of the 2024 election. The political betting market includes who will win the popular vote, who will win the Electoral College, or who will control the US House of Representatives. No, due to restrictive regulations against political and election betting, sportsbooks won’t take an election bet. When Nevada state set the regulations for sports betting in 1985, they restricted betting to professional sports. Over the years, Nevada loosened the rules to include college sports and the Olympics. Despite that, the state still does not allow for election betting. There is still talk of Vegas presidential odds, though. Some of the top oddsmakers in Vegas are offering their predictions. They are posting lines, just like they would for other non-sports events, like the Oscars. Although they are prohibited from taking bets, it’s more of a marketing gimmick, for entertainment purposes only. Peoples’ perceptions of the likelihood of an outcome affect the percentages daily, and even hourly. News and current events affect peoples’ perceptions, particularly in a volatile and ever-changing news cycle. In the past, endorsements were a key indicator of the eventual nominee and election winner. The 2016 election, though, ended that trend. That said, endorsements can indicate how an elected official will turn out the vote in their jurisdiction. Polling data can provide a good indicator of the likely outcome of an election. These are, of course, polls and not results and should be taken with a grain of salt. The 2016 election resulted in some of the most traditionally reliable polls being totally off base. The same occurred during the 2020 election, particularly in the US Senate. Some of the most well-respected polls for US election monitoring are RealClear Politics and FiveThirtyEight. The odds markets continue to take into consideration unlikely candidates. In the months leading up to the 2020 election, the odds focused only on Trump and Biden but earlier odds included Senator Bernie Sanders, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and even Vice President Mike Pence – all long-shot candidates. For the 2024 election, because it is still early, there are multiple potential candidates and nominees, including four with the last name Trump.
Live In Game Betting Explained. For years, bettors have been able to go online and wager on sports but live in-game betting has not been explained to the majority of the country. By using local sportsbooks as well as offshore betting sites, live betting allows for bettors to access odds and lines at all points of the game. Live betting is some of the most popular wager styles in other parts of the country but in the US, it is still coming into popularity. Bettors are put right in the middle of the action as things are going on, updating in real-time to formulate new and unique betting lines that have never before been seen on the matchup. What Is Live In-Game Betting. Betting live in a game at a sportsbook will take you to a separate section entirely. Here, you will be given the option to wager on games that are currently taking place, as well as check out the upcoming games on the schedule to wager. Among the wagers that can be placed covers a number of aspects. You can expect to find odds on the spread that will vary according to how the game is going. The same can be said for the moneyline and over/under point total. But outside of that there are some great props relating to games as well. These prop odds will be unique to the particular sport or game going on, because as you know sports are all very different. How To Bet On Live Sports. The actual process of betting on live sports is not that different from making any other type of bet at a sportsbook. The only difference is that your time to bet a particular line might be limited to minutes or seconds, depending on which type of line you are wagering on. But just as normal, a bet slip is filled out and the wager is processed. The result will be known depending on the type of wager. It could be almost instant for a prop, or it could have to wait until the end of the game should you bet an alternative spread or moneyline. In-play betting is another term to be familiar with that you will hear tossed around on this page. This type of betting is similar to live betting in that it starts up after the game gets going. But in-play betting is usually limited to outcomes like differing spreads and bets made for the second half. In general, most sports gambling sites will distinguish between the in-play odds and live betting section on site. Live In Game NFL Betting Explained. Betting live on the NFL is one of the most popular sports to do so on. And each season more odds are being formed. Not every NFL game is available to place live wagers, but there are many that are. You can bank on Monday Night Football, Thursday Night Football, and Sunday Night Football not to mention the Super Bowl being on there. These are the nationally televised games, but others can be seen as well. As far as the live bets that can be made, it will depend on the course of the game. Props and alternative game lines are popular. In-play game odds are formed as well, which differ slightly from live betting. In-play lines can include new second half odds and total over/under wagers. Live NBA Betting. The NBA is one of the most fast-paced sports to bet live. It's similar in hockey in which there is plenty of non-stop action until a timeout or a commercial break. We can see a great number of live betting lines in the NBA, which can be anything as specific as game props like the next team to score, or a change in the course of the point spread. The NBA has plenty of statistics that are kept track, and player stats are a big part of the game as well. A bet on a player scoring the next basket or getting a rebound can be seen. Really there are so many options that anything seems possible, in the words of Kevin Garnett. Live MLB Betting Explained. MLB betting might be the best sport to wager on live arguably. It's because there are a lot of thing happening, but at a nice pace. This is where things can be wagered on such as the next pitch being a ball or a strike. Or another example might be the next hitter up getting a hit or an out, or even something as specific as how that batter will get out. But then other live bets in general can be adjusted moneylines. This is also seen with in-play MLB betting odds, where wagers from different innings reflect different moneylines. In-play bets can be made in between the innings. How Live Betting Works In College Football. College football live betting runs hand in hand with the NFL. But with college football, there are more games scattered over different regions, with few nationally televised games. Still, live betting sections like to formulate wagers for college football both in-play and live. In terms of in-play odds, there are adjusted game lines for the second half, as well as point spreads for quarters following the completion of the first quarter. In terms of what live betting odds are available, this is dictated by the flow of the game. College Basketball Live Betting Explained. Whether you are betting in the regular season or during March Madness, college basketball betting covers plenty of live betting and in-play betting. With more than 300 Division I teams, there are plenty of basketball games on the schedule. You won't have the option to be live on every one of them, but in-play odds are seen far more often. Either option puts you in the action, with live bets last only a couple of minutes generally. You can take advantage of some of the half odds at the break during a game, when oddsmakers readjust the spread depending on how the first hall went. NHL Live Betting Explained. The NHL is the most fast-paced sport to bet live, because the action rarely stops throughout the course of the three periods. In-play betting can be great for NHL bettors, as they can get in on the action throughout different points in the games, mostly during the intermission of the periods. As for live betting, odds on the next team to score are popular, but other lines can be seen as well. NHL live betting is certainly fun and kicks the tempo of the game up a notch for bettors.
Mobile-Only Georgia Sports Betting Proposal Passes House Committee. A sports betting proposal that would license at least six sportsbooks in Georgia hopped its first hurdle Tuesday . The House Economic Development and Tourism Committee passed HB 86 , though that wasn’t a huge surprise. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Ron Stephens , the committee chair, and has significant backers behind it. Stephens said the legislation was requested by the Georgia Professional Sports Integrity Alliance , which includes the state’s four professional teams: MLB’s Atlanta Braves Major League Soccer’s Atlanta United NBA’s Atlanta Hawks NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. Stephens said the teams came together to “plead with us” to pass a GA sports betting bill to increase fan engagement. “It’s for fan participation,” Stephens said. “As I said earlier, the stands are empty and of course these are major losses for these folks that are continuing to try to play.” Details of Georgia sports betting bill. Stephens’ proposal calls for at least six sports betting operators with no cap on potential licenses. Georgia requires a constitutional amendment approved through a referendum for any gambling expansion, but that might not be needed with HB 86. Sports betting would be regulated by the Georgia Lottery and would be added as another lottery game. Stephens originally filed the bill with a 16% tax rate but an amended version cuts that rate to 14% . Sportsbooks would pay $900,000 annually for their license. The bill does include one unfortunate catch: there would be no betting on any college sports . Time ticking for Georgia to take advantage of slower movers. If Georgia legalizes sports betting this year, the state could see a good chunk of its business come from out-of-state bettors. So far, Tennessee is the only southeastern state with legal mobile sports betting. Its first two months of results show that, too: Tennessee took more than $312 million in bets in November and December , by far the best start for any US state. Of course, if Georgia doesn’t move quickly, it could lose that advantage. Both Alabama and South Carolina are considering gambling bills this year that could bring sports betting sooner rather than later. Sports betting getting the might-as-well treatment. Tuesday’s hearing presented a terrific example of how sports betting is now being looked at by legislatures around the country. If you’ve paid attention to marijuana legalization attempts, the proponents and opponents sound almost exactly the same. “If you’re going to do it offshore, why don’t we collect revenue here in Georgia?” Stephens asked the committee in his opening remarks. More than $4.8 billion is illegally bet annually by 2.2 million Georgians, according to Stephens. The loudest opponent in the room, Rep. Randy Nix , didn’t think that’s enough of a reason. “If this was going to be the end, it might be OK, but this is just starting us toward casinos and a lot of other things,” Nix said. “I think Georgia is one of the best states to do business in right now. I just see no need for us to be able to do this and I believe that we would be much better off if we just leave this to somebody else. “If you want to gamble and you like what they do in Michigan or whatever, just go up there.”
US Wire Act only applies to sports betting, federal appeals court rules. In 2019 a federal judge ruled against the Justice Department's opinion that the law banned all online betting, and the First Circuit upheld that verdict Wednesday after a June 2020 hearing. It interpreted the 1961 law broadly to provide protection to private gambling companies as well. he US First Circuit handed a major victory to online gambling businesses Wednesday, rejecting the US Justice Department’s 2018 reinterpretation of the Wire Act. Online gambling surged in America a decade ago when the Department of Justice (DoJ) announced that the 1961 law criminalizing the use of wire transmissions for gambling was limited to sports betting. But the DoJ reversed course under the presidency of former casino magnate Donald Trump, saying that the 1961 law banned all online betting, not just sports betting . Although the department hasn’t prosecuted anyone under the new paradigm — and it said in April 2019 that its ruling might or might not apply to state lotteries — the 2018 announcement cast a huge cloud over the industry and largely brought it to a standstill. “The lack of coherence in the government’s proposed reading” of the 1961 law “strains common sense,” U.S. Circuit Judge William Kayatta wrote for the Boston-based court, as reported by Courthouse News Service. American Gaming Association President and CEO Bill Miller welcomed the new ruling . “Today’s ruling by the First Circuit provides important certainty for those who wish to innovate and invest in mobile gaming products," he said in a statement. "Across the country, state and local economies rely on valuable tax revenue from gaming operators, which remains critical as our nation recovers from the economic impact of the pandemic. The gaming industry is one of the most regulated in the country, and our members remain committed to operating within the confines of the legal, regulated market, as they do on a daily basis.” Kayatta noted that the 1961 law wasn’t perfectly clear because it sometimes specified that its provisions applied only to sports betting and other times left that part out. Concluding that Congress didn’t always spell that out because it was using “shorthand,” the panel called it the most natural reading, that the whole law applies just to sports betting. New Hampshire’s Lottery Commission and a private contractor that handles the state’s online “iLottery” brought the underlying suit, which drew support from 19 other states, the District of Columbia and several gambling trade associations. A federal judge ruled against the Justice Department in 2019, and the First Circuit upheld that verdict Wednesday after a June 2020 hearing. The court could have issued a narrow decision holding that the 1961 law didn’t apply to state lotteries, but instead i t interpreted the law broadly to provide protection to private gambling companies as well. Even a narrower ruling would have had a huge financial impact. Some 48 states and territories operate lotteries that generated more than $80 billion in revenue in 2017, the year before the Justice Department’s ruling. A growing portion of that revenue is attributable to internet wagering. A big question in the First Circuit case was whether the court could issue a decision at all given that the Justice Department announced in 2019 that its ruling didn’t necessarily apply to state lotteries. The department said that it would eventually rule on that question and if it found that state lotteries were affected, they would have 90 days to comply. But Kayatta wrote that the threat was serious enough that the court had to step in now. “A statewide operation integrating over a thousand retailers and multi-state relationships to produce almost $100 million in net revenue does not strike us as an operation that can be easily wound up in 90 days,” he wrote. “Nor can a state legislature plan sensibly if such a relied-upon revenue stream finds itself suddenly subject to a three-month closure notice.”
How to Bet on Sports for Beginners: 12 Tips to Know. Suchat Pederson/The News Journal via USA TODAY NETWORK. Over the past few years, the emergence of daily fantasy sports has led to a renaissance for conventional sports betting. The anti-gambling stigma that existed for decades is fading in American popular culture, opening the door for a massive, multibillion-dollar legal sports betting industry to emerge. With sports betting now legal in many states, millions of sports fans will be looking to enter the betting market for the first time. But where do you begin if you’re unfamiliar with the terminology? Here’s an introduction into how to bet on sports. We’ll be adding to this series in the coming weeks. How to Bet on Sports for Beginners: 12 Tips. Use the links below to jump to each section. 1. Favorites vs. Underdogs. When the oddsmakers release a betting line on a game, the first thing they do is decide which team should be the favorite and which should be the underdog. The favorite is the team that is expected to win the game and will get a minus sign next to its odds, while the underdog is expected to lose and gets a plus sign. If the game is a toss-up, books will open it as a “pick” or “pick’em.” Click to return to table of contents . 2. Spreads. There are two main ways to bet on a favorite or an underdog. The first is the point spread, which is a bet on the margin of victory. A favorite “gives” points, while an underdog “gets” points. For example, say the Patriots are 7-point favorites (-7) against the Jets. If you bet on the Patriots, they need to win the game by 8 points or more for you to win your bet. If the Patriots win by 8 points or more, you “cover.” If the Patriots win by exactly 7 points, that is called a “push,” which means you get back the money you originally bet. If the Patriots win by 6 points or fewer (or lose the game straight-up), you lose your bet. Spreads are available for all sports, but they are predominantly used when betting on higher-scoring sports like football and basketball. 3. Moneylines. The second way to bet on a favorite or an underdog is on the moneyline. This is based solely on which team will win the game. Favorites are given a “minus” designation, such as -150, -200 or -500. If a favorite is -200, that means you have to risk $200 to win $100. If the favorite wins, you get $100, but if the favorite loses, you’re out $200. Because favorites are expected to win, you assume more risk when betting on them. Moneylines are available for all sports, but they are predominantly used when betting on lower-scoring sports like baseball, hockey and soccer. 4. Over/Unders (Totals) In addition to setting a line for the favorite and the underdog, oddsmakers will also set a total number of points scored in a game by both teams combined. This is called the total or over/under. Bettors can then wager on whether or not the game will go Over or Under the total. For example, an NBA game between the Celtics and Bulls might have a total of 215. You could either bet the Over 215 or the Under 215. If you bet the Over 215 and the total points scored end up being 216 or higher, you win your bet. If the total points scored are 214 or fewer, you lose. 5. What Is the -110 Number Listed Next to My Bet? The oddsmakers put a “tax” on every bet, which is typically called the “juice” or “vig” (short for “vigorish”). The juice is the commission you have to pay to the sportsbook for them to accept your wager. Say the Duke Blue Devils are -5 (-110) … that means if you want to bet on Duke as a 5-point favorite, you need to risk $110 to win $100. You always have to risk more on a favorite than you’d win on an underdog…otherwise, sportsbooks would be out of business. 6. How to Place a Bet. With legalized sports betting spreading across America, sports bettors have never had more options to take advantage of. To see if sports betting is legal where you live, check out our state-by-state tracker. Some of the biggest states that have legalized mobile wagering include Colorado, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana and West Virginia. The sportsbooks highlighted below are all trustworthy legal shops that take bets online.
Best 5 Online Sports Betting Sites 2021 – Top Rated Sportsbooks. When looking to venture out into sports gambling, you are likely to find hundreds of online sports betting sites out there. When looking for the best sports betting sites, therefore, the most important issues to consider are the perks that come with the websites. This will ensure you enjoy the greatest sports betting online experience. These perks include signing bonuses and easy usability among others. In this article, we are going to review three of the best online betting sites, which are Bovada, BetOnline, and MyBookie. #1 Bovada. Bovada has continually offered promotions and offers to its customers. For instance, first-time deposits for sports get bonuses of 50 percent for deposits up to $250, 100 percent for deposits up to $1000 for casino bets, and 100 percent for deposits up to $1000 as poker bonus. Making a deposit or a withdrawal is easy and only attracts a small fee. For first-time deposits, the processing fee of 4.9 percent is waivered. Payouts are done using rapid transfer, otherwise known as money gram. Bovada allows sports betting online on their user-friendly mobile interface or in their state of the art poker and casino gaming rooms. The minimum wager online is $1 and $50 for mobile bets. The only limitation to using Bovada is that the odds are posted late and that they have very low wager limits. #2 BetOnline. Licensed and regulated in Panama, BetOnline offers sports, live, poker, casino, and live dealer types of betting. It offers a wide range of payment options and several accepted currencies, thus making it one of the most convenient sites for customers across the world. You get a welcome bonus of 50 percent on deposits up to $2500. However, bonus levels are tiered for different types of wagering. The online game library is categorized into 3D slots, table games, slots, and video poker. Most of the bets are placed online since their mobile platform only allows sports betting. Maximum and minimum deposits and withdrawals are different for different payment options that are offered on BetOnline. Its major shortcoming is that it has high rollover requirements that customers might find difficult to understand. #3 MyBookie. MyBookie is one of the newest top online sports betting sites in the market. It was established in 2014 in Costa Rica and is fast growing to compete with other older bet staking sites. The minimum online wager on MyBookie is $10 and the maximum is $1000. For mobile wagers, however, there are no limits. Wagering options for MyBookie include straights, totals, open wagers, action points, teasers, reverses, if bets, futures, and money lines among others. You can bet on games such as NFL Football, college basketball, NBA basketball, NHL hockey, soccer, golf, and horse racing among others. With one of the highest bet bonuses in the industry, MyBookie gives you a welcome bonus of up to 50 percent for up to $1000 if you are a first time depositor. For reloads, they offer a 20 percent cash bonus. This makes it one of the best sports betting sites. Its mobile platform has a user-friendly interface that makes it very easy to use. Their customer service is also highly efficient and offers top-notch customer service. This puts them among the best online betting sites today. MyBookie, however, only caters to recreational gamblers as opposed to other top sites that allow professional gambling. The site has also been said to lean more on the US sports market as compared to international sports.

The Chiefs opened as -3.5 betting favorites while the Buccaneers are 3.5 underdogs. After early wagers came in, most operators are holding Kansas City -3 (-120).

As opposed to other sites i really have to tip my hat to the people at PM. I never have to worry about directing someone to this site in order to get my tips and purchase them soon due to the fact the people who run this site somehow are able to actually have a reputable website that is honest trustworthy and transparent.PicksbyBMD. Although PM is about sports wagering, I believe its more than that. It's a community of people who share a common interest and to some extent bond with the site and its users . it's a great place, created for the interests of its users. We are fortunate that the creator of the site is an active user, and takes input from the community for changes and enhancements.The Contrarian. It's been pretty amazing just to see the site grow as it has and it to get to know so many of you.

Go ahead and try it now. There are currently no games matching this criteria. All About. Pick Monitor was started by Patrick in April of 2010 with the idea that a monitor focusing on transparency, advanced stats and ease-of-use would be a welcomed addition to the industry. It was bought by Michael in October 2017. And let's face it: the sports tipping industry is depressing. You probably already know this, but to make a point we'd like you to leave for a second and go search for "tipsters" on Twitter. If the majority of those profiles don't make you want to vomit in your mouth then we conceed defeat right now. Please hit the "back" button on your browser. We won't even try to get your business. That queasy feeling you just got from looking at those Twitter profiles? You won't get that here. That's not to say that we won't try to paint pretty pictures for you. Of course we will. We sell a service and we need people to buy that service in order to keep our business afloat. The difference with us, though, is that transparency is the focal point of our sales pitch. By going out of our way to be unrivaled in our transparency we are trusting that there is some small part of humanity that is above the lies. We rely on that small part of humanity to pay our bills, and so far it's working. And if it ever stops working, screw it. We'd rather go the way of MySpace (oh wait, that might technically still exist, but you get the point) then join the dirtbags. Our business model? We're not a tipping service. We're an independent sports monitor that allows users to pay a fee to sell their tips and keep 100% of the profits. Any handicapper who doesn't choose to sell his tips agrees to have his tips included in our tip packages. The majority of our users are free users. That's cool with us. We'll put some "upgrade" links various places on the site but we'll never call you. We'll never hard sell you. If being a free member is best for you then so be it. We're founded on the basis of actually increasing your chance of winning as opposed to selling you bullshit and we're run by a super nerdy, data-loving computer scientist. Resulting is a tracking service whose attention to detail and statistical insight is simply better than that of the competition. We analyze the snot out of tips and tipsters to give you as much info as humanly computerly possible. From there, after giving you instant access to every piece of data from every user on the site, we leave things up to you.
