A record year for NJ sports betting; casinos, not so much. ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey took nearly $1 billion worth of sports bets in December, an encouraging finish to a year in which coronavirus closures and restrictions sent overall gambling revenue down nearly 17%. Over $6 billion worth of bets were placed last year in New Jersey, which won a U.S. Supreme Court case in 2018 that cleared the way for the ongoing expansion of legalized sports betting in America. Figures released Wednesday by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement show the state’s nine casinos and three horse tracks that accept sports bets took in over $996 million worth of such wagers in December, the latest in a string of monthly records for U.S. sports betting. Slot and table games revenue for the casinos, including internet betting, was $2.64 billion in 2020. When sports betting revenue is added, New Jersey saw more than $2.88 billion in revenue for the year. That represented a decline of 16.9% in a year in which the casinos were closed for 3 1/2 months. Even when they were allowed to reopen in July, they had to restrict operations to 25% of capacity — limits that remain in place today. “Significant revenue was lost in those early months and, throughout the second half of the year, the resurging public health crisis continued to impact business in Atlantic City,” said James Plousis, chair of the New Jersey Casino Control Commission. “Atlantic City’s stakeholders have been working hard to build a strong foundation for recovery. As society begins to approach a return to normalcy, Atlantic City will be ready to restore its recent positive momentum.” Only one casino, the Golden Nugget, took in more money in 2020 than it did in 2019. It won more than $415 million, an increase of nearly 10% over the previous year. Harrah’s had the biggest decline in 2020, down 46.8% to $166.3 million. Resorts was close behind, down 43.8% to $100.2 million. Caesars was down an identical 43.8% to $152.3 million. Tropicana was down 33.8% to $231.5 million; Borgata, the last of the nine casinos to reopen last year, was down 27.6% to $577.3 million; Hard Rock was down 17% to $290.5 million, and Ocean was down 10.1% to $214.1 million. Ocean CEO Terry Glebocki said 2020 was a challenging year. “We’re optimistic about the future as demonstrated by Ocean’s 18% year-to-date growth in casino win during the year’s eight operational months,” she said. “In a time when many businesses in the country are ramping down operating schedules, Ocean is actively reinvesting in its property by debuting new venues likes our new high-limit slot experience, The Cove.” Under two different owners in 2020, Bally’s won nearly $97 million, compared with $181.5 a year earlier. New Jersey has led the nation for months in the amount of money bet on sports within its borders. With the NFL playoffs underway in the run-up to the Super Bowl, January 2021 is almost certain to eclipse the $1 billion mark for total amount of money wagered, known in the industry as “handle.” But that number is separate from, and much larger than, sports betting revenue, or the amount of money sports books keep after paying out winning bets and other expenses. New Jersey’s casinos and horse tracks kept just under $400 million in sports betting revenue last year, an increase of over 33% from a year earlier. And its dominance of the market appears to be in jeopardy: New York state announced last week it will legalize mobile sports betting this year, a move certain to cut into New Jersey’s sports betting business. Industry experts say about 20% of New Jersey’s sports bets are made by New Yorkers who cross the border to wager; that is money New Jersey soon will no longer be getting. Internet gambling revenue more than doubled last year, going from $482 million in 2019 to $970 million in 2020, another bright spot for an industry still struggling to recover from the pandemic. Internet gambling had been on a roll for years in New Jersey, but increased even more this year as gamblers had no option but to bet on their phones or laptops from mid-March to early July, and even after they reopened, some felt more comfortable gambling from home.
It’s time to make sports betting a sure thing.

State Sen. Brendan Crighton believes the odds may have finally shifted in its favor. The Lynn Democrat’s updated version of his previous sports-betting proposal includes a higher tax rate and a significant increase in licensing fees that he said will generate needed revenue for Massachusetts even before a wager is placed. He feels there’s reason to believe the Senate will seriously consider passage this session, despite leadership’s indifference over the past two years. Senate members of the Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies abstained in the last session from voting to advance a sports betting bill drafted by that panel, and Senate leaders likewise passed on a House-backed sports wagering proposal tacked on to a major economic development bill in July. “Sports betting is alive and well in Massachusetts, but unfortunately we’re letting money go down the drain to the black market and states that have legalized,” Crighton said. A jump-start is clearly what this proposal needs. Even a full-court press via a letter signed by all five major Massachusetts professional sports teams, gaming companies and a powerful labor union last November couldn’t persuade the Legislature to act. Absent an agreement at the time on a tax rate or structure for wagers, that group estimated Massachusetts could pull in about $50 million a year from sports betting. Gov. Charlie Baker has previously estimated annual revenue of $35 million, while the House estimated revenue of about $20 million. Sen. Eric Lesser, who last session co-chaired the committee that studied sports betting, plans to file his own bill in the coming weeks. Legalized sports betting currently operates in the District of Columbia and 19 states, including New Hampshire and Rhode Island. Crighton’s latest bill would create an opportunity for the state’s two casinos in Everett and Springfield, the slots parlor in Plainville, horse-racing license holders and mobile platforms like the Boston-based DraftKings to host in-person and online sports betting. Should thoroughbred racing return to Massachusetts, tracks would also be eligible to join the industry, which would be regulated and overseen by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission. Prospective license holders would need to pony up a $10 million licensing fee, up from a high of $1 million in Crighton’s original bill; the tax rate also would increase to 15%, an increase over Crighton’s originally proposed 12.5%. Crighton’s bill would allow betting on professional and college sports, but not on in-state collegiate teams. Some other bills filed last session, including one by Gov. Baker, excluded college sports, but Baker recently told the State House News Service he’d accept a framework that included betting on college sports because it’s already happening in neighboring states. House Speaker Ron Mariano, who blamed the Senate for the failure to legalize sports betting last year, has promised to bring up the issue early in the new legislative session. Massachusetts can’t continue to sit on the sidelines and watch neighboring states siphon wagering tax dollars that this state vitally needs in this COVID-created, revenue-challenged environment. Without legislative action, you can bet those receipts will continue to flow into New Hampshire, New York and Rhode Island.

The set-up: Vancouver won't be lacking for motivation here as it tries to break a three-game slide. It also plays with immediate revenge here after getting spanked 7-3 in this building two nights ago. With another game on Monday here, the Canucks will be risking life and limb getting into shooting and passing lanes tonight to try and get off the schneid. I like betting on motivated teams, and with an extra goal and a half of insurance at this price, I think the Nucks definitely offer value ATS. The pick: Finally, note that Toronto is just 2-6 in its last eight after scoring six or more goals in a four-goals or greater victory in its last outing. In a game which I see being decided late or in extra time, I'm going to lay the reasonable price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance. This is a 1* FREE PLAY on the Canucks on the puck-line.

The Key: The Oregon State Beavers are 4-2 SU & 6-0 ATS in their last six games overall. Their only losses came on the road to USC and UCLA in competitive games. They also beat Oregon on the road, plus ASU, USC and Washington at home. They are playing their best basketball of the season right now and are ready to avenge their 55-59 road loss at Washington State way back on December 2nd. They are a much better team since then. Washington State is just 2-6 SU in its last 8 games overall and has fallen apart. That's with the exception of an upset 74-71 win at Oregon on Thursday, their first win in Eugene in years. But that was an Oregon team that was rusty and coming back from a COVID break. I think this is now a big letdown spot for the Cougars. The Beavers are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games when avenging a loss where opponent scored less than 60 points. The home team is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 matchups. Take Oregon State.

The Cavaliers blew a 63-60 halftime lead over the Bucks and lost by 18 yesterday. They will be looking to avenge that defeat and stay within this 10.5-point spread at the very least. I like their chances here as the Cavaliers are about as healthy as they have been all season right now. Their depth will help them in this back-to-back situation. The Bucks are a lot more top-heavy than they were a year ago, and their lack of a decent bench has hurt them this season as a result. That's why they are a pedestrian 14-8 SU & 11-11 ATS this season. Milwaukee is 7-16-1 ATS in its last 24 games off a win. The Bucks are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as road favorites. The Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as home underdogs.

This is a play on the KENTUCKY WILDCATS for our CBB Saturday FREE PLAY. To say it has been a disappointing season for Kentucky would be an understatement. The Wildcats are 5-11 overall including 4-5 in the SEC, certainly not living up to their normal standards. That being said, they lost to 10-0 Alabama twice and second place Missouri. Overall, Kentucky has played the seventh toughest schedule in the country overall which is by far the toughest of any team in the SEC so the record is a bit deceiving. Tennessee is 12-4 including a 5-54 record in the conference so it has not been much better but is laying points on the road. The Volunteers have only won one away game (at Texas A&M) since December 30th. They struggle mightily on the road, especially when it comes to scoring as they are averaging just 60 ppg. Play (752) Kentucky Wildcats. Matt is now 171-141-7 (+$15,859) the last two years in College Hoops and is ready to keep it going!

My free play is on Tennessee at 8:00 ET. Kentucky was ranked No. 10 in the AP preseason poll but its 1-6 start took care of that. However, the Wildcats won three straight to open SEC play, after a 76-58 at Florida on Jan 9. Hope was alive in Lexington but the Wildcats have lost FIVE of six since that 3-0 SEC start. Tennessee was No. 12 in the AP's preseason poll and the Vols were 10-1 and ranked 6th when they lost 75-49 at Florida on Jan 19. The Vols have lost THREE of five (including that loss to the Gators) and visit Lexington at 12-4 (ranked 11th). Tennessee blasted Kansas 80-61 last Saturday but then lost 52-50 at Ole Miss this past Tuesday, which had lost FIVE of its previous seven games, including THREE by double digits. Head coach Rick Barnes lamented mistakes in his Volunteers' loss at Ole Miss. They had 16 turnovers, which compounded the troubles they had shooting the ball, 35.6 percent for the game and 10 of 16 on free throws. "We had just some horrendous turnovers," Barnes said. "When you add that to the fact that we missed some shots that I like to think we can make around the rim, and you add that to the fact that with missing the front end of some one-and-ones on free throws, it makes for a long night. That's the disappointing part of it." Tennessee is loaded with perimeter players. Guards Bailey (10.4), Springer (9.6), Pons (9.4 & 5.8), Johnson (9.0), Vescovi (8.7 & 3.8) and Jordon-James (8.3 & 5.8) are quite a group. The 6-9 Fulkerson averages 11.0 & 5.9. It's no surprise that Calipari relies on freshmen, including leading scorer Boston (12.0 & 5.3), who was joined in the backcourt by freshman Clarke (10.7) and Askew (6.6) plus senior Mintz (10.3). However, Clarke has been sidelined since Dec 26 with an ankle injury. 7-0 senior Wake Forest transfer Sarr (10.2 & 5.6) has help up front from 6-10 freshman Jackson (6.6 & 7.1) and now 6-7 sophomore Brooks, who since getting back on the court has averaged 10.1 & 5.3. The Wildcats rallied from a 13-point halftime deficit to within three points, 68-65, with 4:53 remaining at Missouri on Wednesday and still were within four at 74-70 with 1:17 on the clock. However, they missed their last three shots in the final minute, including a couple of layups. Another defeat would saddle the Wildcats with their most losses under coach John Calipari since his 2012-13 team was 21-12. Anyone ever think a Cal-coached team would be averaging 67.6 PPG (269th) on 41.8% shooting (273rd), including 30.2% on threes (298th)? However, that's the case and while the Vols have been inconsistent on the offensive end this season, they are allowing just 58.9 PPG (6th) on 39.3% shooting (21st). Take the road favorite.

On Tuesday, November 3, 2020, Virginia will hold its general election to select the next President of the United States. While most other states would also be filling US House and Senate seats and/or governorships at this time, VA is one of the few states that holds its state-centric elections in off years from the Presidential election. These were held on Tuesday, November 5, 2019, and the 2020 Super Tuesday primaries took place on March 3, 2020. For the general election in 2020, you can currently wager on a number of different things at various political betting sites. While these are all related to national developments at this time, you will probably see Virginia-specific odds posted in the run-up to the state Presidential election on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2020.

Donald Trump (R) TBA * Joe Biden (D) TBA * *Odds Provided By Bovada. How Did VA Vote In The 2016 Presidential Election? Virginia is the Mother of Presidents, but it’s also the mother of all swing states, and any election could go to either side, from the local to the state to the federal level. In 2016, despite having a slight GOP lead in the state House and Senate, Hillary Clinton won the VA primary easily with 49.73% of the vote compared to 44.41% for Donald Trump. Expect both party campaigns to stump hard in VA throughout the election season in 2020. What is Virginia’s Political Landscape? State House (of Delegates): Republican majority (51-48, 1 vacancy) State Senate: Republican majority (20-19, 1 vacancy) Gubernatorial: Democratic. 2020 Virginia Electoral Odds. 2020 Virginia Democratic Primary Results. Joe Biden – 53.2%, 66 delegates Bernie Sanders – 23.1%, 31 delegates Elizabeth Warren – 10.7%, 2 delegates Michael Bloomberg – 9.8%, 0 delegates Tulsi Gabbard – 0.9%, 0 delegates. 2020 Virginia Democratic Primary Election Winner Odds. Due to Virginia’s “middle of the road” disposition, Joe Biden benefited from being the only real “establishment candidate” trending well per the 2020 Democrat odds, though Bernie Sanders was in the mix. 2020 Virginia Republican Primary Odds. In 2016, Donald Trump won the VA GOP primary by a narrow margin, though he was poised to win it handily this time around. The 2020 GOP betting odds showed that Trump had no credible challengers, so the state party canceled its primary altogether. Betting on the 2020 Virginia Presidential Elections. Even though a number of states have legalized sports betting in the last couple of years, you still can’t wager on US elections at domestic venues. In order to bet on politics, you will have to use an offshore site that offers odds and lines on election-based action. Fortunately, several of the best sportsbooks in the world do exactly that, so putting a few bucks on your candidates of choice is quick and easy.
Biden’s Election Odds Improve Following Obama Endorsement. Democratic presidential candidate former US Vice President Joe Biden speaks during a town hall . [+] meeting in Newton, Iowa, on January 30, 2020. - Joe Biden went on the attack Thursday against Donald Trump, as the Democratic frontrunner campaigned in Iowa hours before the US president jets in to divert attention ahead of the state's first-in-the-nation vote. (Photo by JIM WATSON / AFP) (Photo by JIM WATSON/AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images. After receiving a strong endorsement from former President Barak Obama, Joe Biden has seen his 2020 election chances improve. While the endorsement comes as no surprise, it does highlight an interesting trend in that others talking about Joe Biden seem to be driving his success rather than the candidate actually speaking himself. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has emerged as a betting longshot, with his daily press appearances throughout New York’s battle against Covid-19 giving his popularity a boost with democratic voters. Sportsbooks Offer Trump & Biden At Even Odds. It was assumed that Obama had withheld his formal endorsement to avoid causing any disturbances in the Democratic nomination process, but the announcement couldn’t have come at a better time for Biden. The Inside Story Of A Trump Pardon Gone Wrong. Psychedelic Toads Pushed To The Limit, Conservationists Urge Synthetic 5-MeO-DMT Option. Idaho Senate Passes Constitutional Ban On Legal Marijuana. A former Biden staffer has accused her former boss of sexual assault, an accusation that the candidate has publicly denied, and while only an accusation at this point, negative press can be detrimental to a candidate whose odds seem to improve when the spotlight focuses on someone else. Where this news could have led to a dip from an odds perspective, the well timed Obama endorsement helped quickly remedy the situation by instantly becoming the focal point of all Biden campaign conversations. This paired with the ongoing coronavirus situation and Trump’s ongoing quarrels with Dr. Anthony Fauci and the World Health Organization helped to create a “tale of two candidates”, with one being lauded with support and praise from peers while the other struggles to find balance under pressure. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the ongoing narratives on both sides of the fence will likely have little impact in changing the vote of most Americans, but the sheer.

2024 Presidential Election Gambling Odds. by Ryan Glasspiegel December 31, 2020, 9:51 am updated December 31, 2020, 12:35 pm 13 Comments. As we exit 2020 and enter 2021, the 2024 presidential election may be the last thing on your minds. However, the jockeying is already beginning behind the scenes. A large swath of powerful politicians, business leaders, and big personalities think 78-year-old Joe Biden could be a one-and-done. They also saw Donald Trump win in 2016 and think that could be them. Over at the UK book Paddy Power, which is owned by Flutter, which also owns OutKick’s gambling partner FanDuel, here are the current gambling odds for the 2024 presidential election: Joe Biden: 4-1 Kamala Harris: 5-1 Donald Trump: 8-1 Nikki Haley: 10-1 Mike Pence: 10-1 Pete Buttigieg: 14-1 AOC: 18-1 Eric Trump: 18-1 Donald Trump Jr.: 18-1 Ivanka Trump: 18-1 Beto O’Rourke: 22-1 Paul Ryan: 25-1 Eric Holder: 25-1 Dan Crenshaw: 33-1 Bernie Sanders: 33-1 Oprah Winfrey: 33-1 Tom Cotton: 33-1 Marco Rubio: 33-1 Elizabeth Warren: 35-1 Mike Pompeo: 40-1 Deval Patrick: 40-1 Michelle Obama: 40-1 Tulsi Gabbard: 40-1 Eric Swalwell: 40-1 Eric Garcetti: 40-1 Tucker Carlson: 50-1 Jay Inslee: 50-1 Tim Ryan: 50-1 Hillary Clinton: 50-1 Cory Booker: 50-1 Margaret Hassan: 50-1 Julian Castro: 50-1 Andrew Yang: 50-1 JB Pritzker: 50-1 Sherrod Brown: 50-1 Philip Murphy: 50-1 Kanye West: 50-1 Tammy Duckworth: 50-1 John Hickenlooper: 50-1 Joe Kennedy III: 66-1 Kirsten Gillibrand: 66-1 Dwayne Johnson (The Rock): 66-1 Mike Gravel: 66-1 Ben Sasse: 66-1 Gretchen Whitmer: 66-1 Mike Bloomberg: 66-1 Tim Kaine: 66-1 Susan Collins: 75-1 Lisa Murkowski: 75-1 Jeb Bush: 80-1 Tom Brady: 80-1 Mark Cuban: 80-1 Joni Ernst: 80-1 John Kasich: 80-1 George Clooney: 80-1 Leonardo DiCaprio: 80-1 Nancy Pelosi: 80-1 Kim Kardashian: 80-1 Orrin Hatch: 80-1 Oscar De La Hoya: 80-1 Mike Dewine: 80-1 Terry McAuliffe: 80-1 Jared Kushner: 80-1 Catherine Cortez-Masto: 80-1 Rahm Emanuel: 80-1 Howard Schultz: 80-1 Ben Carson: 80-1 Chris Murphy: 80-1 Ted Cruz: 80-1 Steve Bullock: 80-1 Amy Klobuchar: 80-1 Trey Gowdy: 80-1 Jesse Ventura: 80-1 Mitt Romney: 80-1 Scott Walker: 80-1 Michael Bennet: 80-1 Evan McMullin: 100-1 Kelly Loeffler: 100-1 Wayne Messam: 100-1 John McAfee: 100-1 John Kerry: 100-1 Seth Moulton: 100-1 Marianne Williamson: 100-1 Mitch McConnell: 100-1 Sally Yates: 100-1 Jason Kander: 100-1 Lindey Graham: 100-1 Jeff Flake: 100-1 Jeff Mattis: 100-1 Rand Paul: 100-1 Richard Ojeda: 100-1 Tom Steyer: 100-1 Jeff Merkley: 100-1 Jamie Dimon: 100-1 Gavin Newsom: 100-1 Ray Dalio: 100-1 Chris Christie: 100-1 William H. McRaven: 100-1 John Delaney: 100-1 Condoleezza Rice: 150-1 Lara Trump: 150-1 Kayleigh McEnany: 150-1 Vincent Viola: 150-1 Stormy Daniels: 150-1 Andrew Gillum: 150-1 Rick Perry: 150-1 Carolina Kennedy: 150-1 Beyonce: 150-1 Bobby Jindal: 150-1 Bill de Blasio: 150-1 Carly Fiorina: 150-1 Gary Johnson: 175-1 Sarah Palin: 175-1 James Comey: 175-1 Justin Amash: 175-1 Rick Santorum: 175-1 Michael Avenatti: 200-1 Ann Coulter: 200-1 Sidney Powell: 275-1 Lin Wood: 275-1 Jon Voight: 275-1 Betsy DeVos: 275-1 Kimberly Guilfoyle: 275-1 Vince McMahon: 275-1 Steve Bannon: 275-1 Bob Iger: 275-1 Rufus Gifford: 275-1 Roy Cooper: 275-1 Ben Shapiro: 275-1 Chelsea Clinton: 275-1 Angelina Jolie: 275-1 Mitch Landrieu: 275-1 Eminem: 275-1 Neil deGrasse Tyson: 275-1 Bill Gates: 275-1 Mark Zuckerberg: 275-1 Amanda Abbington: 500-1 Jim Gilmore: 500-1 Howie Hawkins: 500-1 Al Franken: 500-1 Marty Walsh: 500-1 Jill Stein: 500-1 Jo Jorgensen: 500-1 Meg Whitman: 500-1. Just on first look, I see some value here on Donald Trump (8-1), Mayor Pete (14-1), Tucker Carlson (50-1), Mark Cuban (80-1), and maybe a nibble on Al Franken at 500-1. Michelle Obama at 40-1 is also a little intriguing, as the question is at least as much about if she’d want to do it as her electability. Some of the odds don’t make any sense. For example, how could Oscar De La Hoya be on the same level as Mark Cuban, be over three times as likely as Bob Iger and six times as likely as Al Franken? Stormy Daniels also has better odds than several people who could actually conceivably win.
Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton Betting Odds: Who Has The Better Chance To Become President Of The United States? Betting sites favor Hillary Clinton to win the 2016 presidential election. Photo: Getty. While most news outlets reference the latest polls to gauge the upcoming presidential election, there are other ways to make sense out of understanding who will come out on top on Nov. 8. According to offshore betting odds, one candidate stands well above the rest with almost two months remaining until election day. British betting website SkyBet lists the top four candidates for the presidential election and has Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton as the heavy favorite. Clinton has 2/5 betting odds to win, while her top competition, Republican nominee Donald Trump, has 7/4 odds. The chances of an electoral-college landslide are also high for Clinton. The best odds (3/1) are that Clinton wins by 330-369 electoral votes, while there are 8/1 odds that Clinton wins by 420 or more. It isn't just SkyBet that has Clinton up by a large margin. Twenty-seven other betting sites have Clinton winning the election by highly favorable odds. The current odds are striking similar to the ones on Sept. 7, 2012. Ladbrokes, another British betting site, had given 2/5 odds for then-incumbent nominee Barack Obama's victory, while Republican nominee Mitt Romney had 15/8 odds. Obama defeated Romney by an electoral landslide, 332-206. Obama received 51.1 percent of the vote, compared to Romney's 47.2 percent. The current betting odds point to a more one-sided contest than recent national polls. In a four-way contest, Clinton is up by just two points in both a GWU/Battleground poll and an Economist/YouGov poll. Last week, a CNN/ORC poll had Trump leading by two points. Clinton has leads in key battleground states. Polls in New Hampshire, Virginia, Nevada, North Carolina and Florida had Clinton holding at least a small advantage. Those five states have an electoral-vote total of 67. The betting odds are not favorable to the third-party candidates. Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson is a 150-to-1 longshot, while Green Party nominee Jill Stein is an even bigger longshot at 400-1. Johnson came in at 11 percent in the GWU/Battleground poll, while Stein polled at three percent.

The Best 5 Sports Betting Books For Successful Betting. Sports betting is a huge industry but it can be hard to find good reading material related to sports betting. Here are the 5 best sports betting books that I have read. Best Sports Betting Books. Squares And Sharps, Suckers And Sharks. Written by well renowned sports betting writer Joseph Buchdahl. Who writes for the bookmaker Pinnacle and is also the author of two other highly rated sports betting books. Squares and Sharps, Suckers and Sharks is Buchdahl’s latest offering. This book takes a stark and realistic look at the sports betting markets. It isn’t a book that encourages sports betting or has tales of people winning millions. In fact in might do the polar opposite, it isn’t an easy read nor does it intend to be. This book tackles the science and probability behind gambling. It looks at the psychology and often irrational behaviour of human beings in relation to gambling. Whilst this book might not provide the answers to becoming a profitable sports bettor. It will certainly make you analyze and question your own process in finding profitable sports bets. Squares and Sharps, Suckers and Sharks is a really interesting read. If you are aiming to make money long term from the sports betting markets then this book is a must. Gambling For Life – Harry Findlay. Gambling For Life by Harry Findlay is a very different read to the first selection. Where as Squares and Sharps, Suckers and Sharks is a book that makes you question whether you should be sports betting at all. Gambling For Life is a much easier read as it documents the story of colorful professional sports bettor Harry Findlay. Although its probably not a book that is going to aid your sports betting. I found Gambling For Life a very enjoyable read of an old school gambler that often through caution to the wind. Putting your entire bankroll on one football match is not something you find Tony Bloom or Zeljko Ranogajec doing. But that is part of the charm of Harry Findlay. He isn’t a gambler that always stuck to staking sensibly and following the rules. He was a risk taker and it makes great reading. Enemy Number One – Patrick Veitch. Enemy Number One is the autobiography of professional sports bettor Patrick Veitch . Veitch is estimated to have made over £10 million profit from betting on horse racing. This book details the beginnings of his betting career as a student studying maths at Cambridge. Through to his career as a full time sports bettor. Along the way Veitch became a target for extortion from a dangerous criminal who later would go on to be tried for murder. Veitch never reveals his betting methods or goes on to write about how he was able to consistently find value in the horse betting markets. However the book does detail how he ran his betting operation and was able to get down large amounts of money at bookmakers all across the country. If you are interested in sports betting and particularly the horse racing markets then Enemy Number One is a recommended read. Trading In The Zone. Trading In The Zone by Mark Douglas is not a book about sports betting. It is based on trading the stock market however a lot information provided is this book can be applied to sports betting and sports trading very well. This book tackles the psychology behind good and bad trading. It is often regarded as the bible when it comes to books on trading psychology. Trading In The Zone’s main message is to not bring our emotions into trading (betting) as this has no effect on the market itself. The market doesn’t care if you have just had an blazing argument with your wife and it won’t give you back 50% of your bankroll if you decide to take out your frustrations this way. Douglas teaches that discipline and controlling the variables that you are able to. Are the key factors in what makes a profitable trader (sports bettor). If you are looking for a book that can you help you understand the psychological traits behind being a successful sports bettor then Trading In The Zone is a good choice. Fixed Odds Sports Betting. For book number five we return to author Joseph Buchdahl. Fixed Odds Sports Betting was written in 2003 but still holds up as one of the best sports betting books around. Buchdahl was a former bet runner for the previously mentioned Patrick Veitch and in looking to emulate him has spent a huge amount time collecting sports betting data. Looking for ways in which to profit from the sports betting markets. Fixed Odds Sports Betting aims to teach its readers the fundamentals of bookmaking. It takes a thorough mathematical look at sports betting with an in depth look at various staking plans. This book is an excellent introduction to sports betting for novice bettors. Whilst also appealing to experienced bettors looking to get a better grasp on some of the key fundamentals behind investing in sports betting. Looking to make money from the sports betting markets.

My Favourite Sports Betting Blogs — 10 Of The Best. Want to learn more about professional sports betting? Looking for a source of inspiration? Well you could firstly read my posts from the Professional Betting section of this site… Alternatively, try some of my favourite sports betting blogs from the list below. Betfair Pro Trader. James Butler, the author of ‘ Betfair Trading Techniques’ and ‘ Programming for Betfair’ has published a free information source aimed at sophisticated Betfair traders looking for an edge. The author doesn’t shy away from stating the difficulties in finding an an advantage from sports betting (like me). I agree with the principles he teaches, and have in fact purchased his books myself. Trader247. As the free WordPress domain name might suggest, Trader247 isn’t as commercial as many other blogs on this list. But it’s authentic, and was one of the most active automated trading/bot development blogs out there. Great reading for those looking to trade professionally through developing their own betting application. Daily 25. The blog’s original gimmick was to document earning $25 a day, or $10,000 a year, from sports betting. It’s since grown into a target of $250 a day, or $100,000 a year. The site is certainly more commercial than most other sites in this list — but I like many elements of it. In particular I rate the concept of Tipster tracking, and the way the blog frequently promotes value betting. Smart Sports Trader. Ryan, the writer of Smart Sports Trader, has pieced together an excellent starting point for any aspiring professional bettor. His blog posts provide detailed tutorials, as well as (often little-known) product recommendations aimed at helping readers to generate consistent profits from the sports betting markets. Ryan documents his progress in a diary format, giving insights to hits and misses throughout his sports betting journey. Soccer Widow. When I first started to learn about sports betting I found several articles on this site very helpful. The website’s author — the German “Soccer Widow” — shares her findings, experiences, and knowledge on the betting markets with her readers. Her site is a good entry point for those seeking smart ways to earn from sports betting, and it touches on several mathematical approaches without making it too complex to understand. Matched Betting Blog. Matched Betting Blog provides free information on promotions for Matched Betting. What I particularly like is the level of detail on each promotion, as well as the supporting tutorials. Whilst the site is no substitute for a premium Matched Betting service like OddsMonkey, it’s an excellent site for practising the basics. Opta Pro Blog. The OptaPro blog features news & analysis brought to you from the cutting-edge data provider — Opta Sports. Whilst their articles aren’t exclusively aimed at a sports betting audience, the data presented may give you some ideas for developing your own system or predictive model. Caan Berry. Betfair trader Caan Berry documents his progress from the point he quit his full time job to focus on betting. His blog is an excellent resource for aspiring traders. He’s published many tutorials on topics such as Reading Betfair Charts & Graphs, which provide lots of sensible (and detailed) tips to help improve your approach to trading. Proceed with care though, as becoming a successful Betfair trader isn’t easy. Church Of Betting. Sports betting blogger Nenko covers familiar ground, such as arbitrage, tipsters, sports trading, and his speciality — value betting. His detailed, unique analyses offer a technical insight into the sports betting markets. Many of his points & observations I have not read elsewhere. Green All Over. Established in 2008, the Green All Over blog is an independent, common sense, look at challenges and opportunities in sports investing. The writer has an excellent technical understanding of sports betting probabilities, and a passion for statistics. While this blogspot-hosted site looks dated and in need of modernisation — don’t be deceived. It’s one of the longest-standing, most detailed sports betting blogs out there. Gods Of Odds. The GodsOfOdds blog is new to the scene, launching in 2019. Early content has been focused around the basics of profitable sports betting, with several insights to the tipster industry. The analyses and educational articles are some of the highest quality I’ve seen on their respective topics. I have no doubts that readers of this site will enjoy this blog. The site has enormous potential, if the creators persist in creating more content to the current standard.
America’s Laws Against Gambling And Sports Betting. When discussing legal online sports betting, the majority of America's government has a very regressive, prohibition-style attitude towards it, buying into a negative perspective concerning the morality of gambling entertainment. This is what has led to a variety of state gambling laws in the past. There are no US federal laws that make it a crime for Americans to place bets at offshore sportsbooks that are operating legally within the industry. There are two states that legally prohibit all online gambling, domestic or offshore, leaving residents in Connecticut and Washington without legally sanctioned online betting options, though they have yet to start enforcing those restrictions. For the most part, state lawmakers are becoming more progressive concerning betting entertainment and recognize the value that this type of revenue stream can bring to a state. Individual states are actively analyzing what the legalization of domestic sports gambling can provide them with in terms of opportunities, tourism, and tax revenue, and many have already taken action one way or the other through new legislation. Iowa, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and West Virginia currently permit state-regulated online sports gambling, with nearly two dozen additional states having launched land-based sportsbooks. Individual territories began embracing sports betting the moment that PASPA was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in the infamous NJ case, with multiple states having had their legislation ready and waiting should the ruling go in the Garden State's favor. Below we'll take a look at the relevant US federal gambling laws, and explain how state gambling laws intersect with federal laws to impact online and brick and mortar sportsbook gambling, as well as what these laws have to say about the legal status of offshore sports betting entertainment. The Federal Laws on the Books. The sections below will detail and explain how each major federal law affects domestic gambling opportunities in the US. The Federal Wire Act. Passed back in 1961, the Federal Wire Act was made law in an effort to curtail the illegal gambling activities taking place over the phone by organized crime syndicates. It prohibited the transmission of wagers or betting information from being carried across state lines via telegraph or telephone. The Federal Wire Act targeted these illegal bookie operations as a means to curb the mafia from manipulating games and making a profit through these tactics. This law was strictly focused on interstate gambling, and only targeted those accepting bets and not the individuals placing the bets. The goal was to crack down on illegal gambling services, not prosecute bettors. Between the DOJ Legal Opinion of 2011 and the repeal of PASPA, today's application of the Wire Act prohibits any gambling business from accepting bets across state lines or from foreign sources. With the changes still being implemented, we are not sure yet how this will affect those states that had entered into interstate gambling pacts with one another, sharing player pools for their online gambling initiatives. Once that aspect of the legal situation becomes more clear we will update that information here. The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act. Also known as the Bradley Act, or just PASPA, the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act was a sweeping federal regulation that passed in 1992, with the supposed intent of protecting the integrity of sports by making sports betting illegal. At the time the bill was passed, there were sports lotteries in Delaware, Montana, and Oregon, as well as licensed and regulated sports betting in Nevada, so those four states were exempt. The law effectively prevented the expansion of the sports betting market throughout the United States in what many categorized as a discriminatory law that favored a few states while restricting others. New Jersey took on the mission of challenging the law and after several years of court battles, was given a favorable outcome by the highest court in the land as SCOTUS ruled PASPA as unconstitutional, nullifying the law. As of May 14, 2018, each individual state now has the authority to dictate sports betting laws within their borders. They can now choose to authorize or prohibit sports betting at their pleasure. Following PASPA's repeal, we have seen multiple states move forward with legislation that legalizes sports gambling at the state level. The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. This is the big one that shook the gambling industry to its core. Online gambling really started to explode during the early 2000's, especially in the realm of online poker. In 2006, then-President Bush signed into law the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, known all over as the UIGEA. In a nutshell, the UIGEA placed very stringent regulatory restrictions concerning how gambling-related transactions could be processed. The most reputable sites started a countdown and allowed Americans to withdraw and closeout their accounts. Many trusted gambling sites left the US market at this time. After the dust settled, and the financial and gambling industries learned how to comply with the regulatory oversight provided by the UIGEA, many of these reputable gambling sites have returned to provide services to US sports bettors. The UIGEA did end up making the online gambling market safer for both the bettors and the operators by imposing a more reliable and stricter regulatory structure for how gambling-related transactions are processed. Gambling sites invested in top tier payment processors while all parties implemented higher-level security protocols to ensure the validity and safety of those transactions that are processed. While US online gambling funding options are still somewhat limited in some regards, things have stabilized. The emergence of cryptocurrencies have filled the void left by the elimination of US-friendly e-wallets and failed credit card transactions. The UIGEA does not make it illegal for Americans to gamble online. The law simply regulates how online gambling transactions are processed. The 2011 Department of Justice's Interpretation of Federal Laws. With the growth of online commerce, several states became interested in offering lottery game services online. This raised questions concerning the application of the Federal Wire Act, driving the DOJ to issue a clarification of the law's reach. The Department of Justice ruled, and accurately so, that the federal government had no right to tell states that they could not sanction online gambling and therefore established that each US state has the authority to determine their own fate concerning online gambling with the exception of sports betting. The repeal of PASPA took care of freeing sports gambling as the last remaining federally prohibited form of state-regulated online gambling. As of now, all 50 states have the legal ability to legalize and offer online gambling such as casinos, poker, bingo, and sports wagering. To date, only a handful of states have taken advantage of legal domestic online gambling. However, many states have pending bills to allow various forms of sports betting. The 2019 DOJ Interpretation of Federal Gambling Laws. Following the repeal of PASPA in 2018, the reach of the Federal Wire Act has again come into question. In a new interpretation, which many believe was coerced by anti-online gambling activist Sheldon Adelson, the Department of Justice has indicated that the Wire Act prohibits not only interstate wagers but also the sharing of information across state lines. This determination will certainly harm those states that have entered into interstate gambling compacts to share player pools and resources with other states. The opinion is being formally challenged through a lawsuit headed up by New Hampshire. As the situation unfolds, we will provide updates here. What You Need to Know Going Forward. All of this legal information is good knowledge to have under your belt, no doubt about it. However, all you really need to know going forward is that there are no federal laws making gambling illegal in the United States either online or offline, and this includes domestic and offshore sports betting. States now determine the legal status of all gambling entertainment within their borders. As a sports betting resource guide, we want to make this point clear. For those of you interested in betting on sport but who live in a state that has not authorized state-regulated sportsbooks, you'll have to either travel to a state with legalized sports betting or use a legitimate offshore sportsbook such as the ones you find listed on this site. You can check out our list of states that allow sports betting here or follow our list of recommended online sportsbooks.
Recapping Busy Start for 2021 Sports Betting Legislation. Lev Radin/Pacific Press/LightRocket via Getty Images. Pictured: Gov. Andrew Cuomo. A few weeks into 2021, lawmakers in more than a dozen states have already introduced sports betting legislation or have announced plans to do so. Here’s a state-by-state recap of some of the most important such bills filed during a frantic start to the 2021 legislative session: Georgia. A bipartisan group of lawmakers in the state House of Representatives introduced a mobile sports betting bill last week that would allow at least six individually branded online licenses under the purview of the state lottery. Status: The bill has not been assigned yet to a committee but it is being championed by Rep. Ron Stephens, who chairs the House Economic Development & Tourism Committee. That means it should at least get a serious look. Look Ahead: Georgia came surprisingly close to passing legal sports betting last year, backed by Republican fiscal conservatives and the state’s professional sports organizations. However, any gaming bill still faces opposition from religious and social conservative organizations and lawmakers. The back-and-forth between these factions of the GOP could determine sports betting’s 2021 hopes. Connecticut. After years discussing legal sports betting, Connecticut finally seems on the verge of legal wagering legislation passing into law. Status: A bipartisan, bicameral bill with 17 sponsors — and the backing of Gov. Ned Lamont — was filed last week and now awaits further action in the Joint Committee on Public Safety and Security. Look Ahead: The bill offers few details beyond approving the state’s two gaming tribes to open retail and online sportsbooks, as well as online casinos (the state lottery would also be able to expand its offerings). Significant work is required before this bill could pass but the fact so many lawmakers are on board, as well as the tribes, gives online sports betting and casino gaming a great chance to pass, even if it looks like there may be limited wagering options. Missouri. Lawmakers have already introduced six sports betting bills, meaning the Show Me State will once again consider legal wagering, even though significant logistical and political hurdles remain. Status: Bills have been introduced in both the House and Senate but only one has been assigned to a committee. Look Ahead: Missouri lawmakers must weigh sports betting against an ongoing legislative fight over video lottery terminals, which would have a far larger financial consequence than even online sportsbooks. Lawmakers must consider the casino industry interests while also determining if the state should regulate thousands of unlicensed “grey” gaming machines that are already in existence, legalizing new machines or banning them outright. They also will have to do so remotely, at least for this week; the 2021 legislative session has been suspended due to a COVID-19 outbreak. Kentucky. Rep. Adam Koenig is once again spearheading mobile sports betting legislation, this time with 16 co-sponsors. But after a similar 2020 bill faltered following a promising start, this year’s legislative session leaves little wiggle room for what appears a long-shot effort. Status: This year’s bill hasn’t been taken up by a committee yet but assuming it advances as its counterpart did in 2020, the real question remains if it will get a vote before the full House floor. Look Ahead: Kentucky gaming bills always face tough odds in a state with strong anti-gambling sentiment but this year, lawmakers are more focused on restoring historic horse racing terminals — and, more so, a major budget crunch execrated by the COVID-19 pandemic. With an already truncated odd-numbered legislative session to begin with, sports betting may struggle to gain much traction in Frankfort. New York. Assemblymember J. Gary Pretlow and Sen. Joseph Addabbo have introduced identical bills in their respective chambers that would allow up to 14 online mobile operators as well as betting kiosks at professional sports stadiums and off-track betting venues. Status : Both bills could see votes in their respective gaming committees as early as this week, but that vote isn’t as important as a budget proposal expected from Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the coming days. Look Ahead: Cuomo surprised the gaming world earlier this month when he came out in support of legal online wagering but just as quickly angered stakeholders when he said he wanted only one operator. A press statement released last week indicated the governor may support a multi-operator model, but it will have to come with the backing of lawmakers already looking to advance a proposal of their own. The fate of New York online betting depends on finding an agreement on either a multiple operator or single operator model. Cuomo’s draft budget could go a long way toward that solution. South Dakota. After voters backed a 2020 ballot measure to legalize sports betting last fall, lawmakers introduced follow-up legislation in January that would lay out key regulatory and taxation details for retail sportsbooks in the historic gaming town of Deadwood, as well as Native American casinos. Status: The bill in South Dakota has been assigned to the Senate State Affairs Committee and could be discussed as early as this month. Look Ahead: Passing a retail sports betting bill seems like a safe bet in 2021. Online sports betting is the bigger question. Though gaming is only allowed in Deadwood, some mobile betting backers believe online wagering could be permitted statewide if the computer servers are physically within Deadwood limits. Though it would mean far larger revenue potential, it’s a logistically, politically and possibly legally more difficult endeavor, and the initial bill’s lack of mobile betting authorization indicates it may not even be considered in this year’s session. Massachusetts. Lawmakers discussed a handful of sports betting bills in 2020, including one sponsored by Gov. Charlie Baker, but elected officials couldn’t reach consensus despite bipartisan support. The General Court is set to take up wagering bills again in 2021, but some of the logistical hurdles remain. Status: Rep. Bradford Hill introduced a trio of mobile sports wagering bills last week, and more are set to follow in the Senate (and possibly the House). With the state’s year-long session just beginning, additional legislation to follow and more pressing budget concerns to consider, it could be a while before these specific proposals see much momentum. Look Ahead: Massachusetts, which has increasingly embraced gaming in recent years as competition for gambling dollars grows in other New England states, has frustrated the sports betting industry with its failure to advance legal wagering despite the latent political support. With statewide, legal wagering already in Rhode Island and New Hampshire (and likely in Connecticut) there’s more motivation than ever to pass a bill. Politicians still must work out operator access, college betting legality and a host of other issues they’ve struggled to reach consensus on in recent years. Other States. Several more are poised to introduce sports betting legislation in the coming weeks, while others with legal wagering already are working on growing their betting options. Legislation Pending: Maryland is all but guaranteed to take up fleshed-out legislation later this year after voters overwhelmingly backed a 2020 referendum that legalized sports betting. Texas, Minnesota and Arizona are among the next wave of states that could also see legal sports betting bills in 2021. Expanded Options: Officials in Oregon, Washington and Virginia have filed bills that would increase the number of legal sportsbooks in their respective states. Additional sports betting bills could face political obstacles, but it’s nevertheless a sign of political interest for expanded markets.

MLB The Show 19 Hitting Guide: How To Hit In The Zone Interface. If you can’t hit, you can’t play. Sadly, that’s the truth. That not only applies to the major leagues, but it applies to MLB The Show as well. Thankfully, an MLB The Show 19 hitting guide and directions is at our fingertips. With Opening Day right around the corner, it is time to get going! If you are new to MLB The Show, don’t worry. In no time you will be swinging for the fences and smashing baseballs over the wall! Just like all the ins and outs and techniques of a new video game, you have to walk before you can run. Hitting starts with the strike zone. You can’t hit the ball if you are not comfortable. In MLB The Show 19, being comfortable means seeing the balls release from the best angle. You have three angles to choose from when you are batting. Strike zone 1, 2 and 3. While they may sound simple, you will notice when you select one of the zones that the angles are a bit different. Pick which one you like best and start there. You can refer the video below to see the differences between strike zones. Controlling the strike zone. You are in control! Yes, just remember that. Once you get down the right buttons to push you can quickly become one of the best hitters in the game. Let’s break it down. First is controlling the strike zone. That all comes by moving the left controller stick. The triangle is for all things bunting. If you want to sacrifice bunt, press the triangle key early and hold it down. If you are looking to drag bunt, press the triangle button late. Pressing the button late simply means trying to hold off as long as possible before the pitch arrives. If you are looking to drive a ball into the gap or are trying to hit a home run, you want to hit the square for a power swing. For a contact swing, meaning you are just trying to put the ball in play, you would press the circle button located to the right of the square. Finally, for what MLB The Show 19 dubs a “normal swing” you just press the “X” button. Hopefully, this gives you a better understanding of the MLB The Show 19 hitting guide.

A Beginner’s Guide To Swinging: 5 Easy Steps. For starters, we all know what swingers are right? We’ve all heard the stories of couples who “swing” or who go to one of “those” parties where only other couples are invited. Swinging is kind of like polyamory, but more heteronormative and traditional, having existed since forever. These couples are not interested in disrupting their monogamy, they only want to have sex with other people with the approval of their “true” partner. Related Story: 5 Very Strange Things That Turn People On And We Don’t Know Why. It sounds a little messy, but a lot of people claim that it’s super fun if everyone’s on the same page. If you and your partner are interested in getting a little kinky and exploring some more, follow these set of rules that’ll ensure that no one gets hurt in the process and that your relationship remains open and trustworthy: Why And How? It’s very important to figure out why you want to start swinging and tell your partner what you’re feeling. The environment between the two of you should be communicative and receptive, with no one feeling pressured to do something they don’t want to do. Swinging is great if you want to spice up your sex life or find a new sexual experience that you can share with your partner. If there’s an underlying issue in your relationship then swinging is not what you’re looking for, in fact, it’ll probably increase your problems and create a bigger rupture between you two. Related Story: This Man Had Sex With Vegetables And This Is What Happened. Another important talking point to discuss with your partner is how you want to swing. There are all types of options according to your budget, from simple swinging neighborhood parties to more expensive ones like swinging cruises. Be Clear About Your Rules. If you’re new to this whole thing, be clear about the things that scare you and what you’d like your partner to do or not to. Discuss same sex relationships and what to do if you’re at an event and want to leave. Is it okay for your partner to stay behind without you or will you both be leaving? The more open and communicative you are the better. Swinging Clubs. Google is your friend. Look for swingers clubs around your area and read around for reviews of the place and the people. Try it out if you feel like you and your partner are going to have a good time there and be open to new experiences and acquaintances. Online Dating. Tinder, Bumble, whichever online dating site you prefer, the internet’s full of them and they’re there for a reason. If you’re too scared to throw yourself into a swinging party then try to get out of your comfort zone through the use of the web. Try chatting online with several different people and meeting up if they seem like they’re the right fit. Don’t stress if it doesn’t work out; try again. Be Confident. Related Story: How Much More Sex Do You Have In An Open Relationship? If you want to attract different kinds of people then be sure to work on your persona, carving out your best and most attractive self. It’s very common for swingers to use fake names and create alter egos; if you’re into that, go for it. FOR A WEEKLY DOSE OF THE FRESH TOAST.

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.

The NFL Las Vegas Odds are listed in order of rotation and those numbers are generated and produced by the sportsbooks.

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.

Bet Calculator - Calculate your betting odds. Whether you are new to the world of betting or somewhat of an old hand when it comes to having a flutter every now and again, you will undoubtedly be aware of the sheer range of options at bookmakers like Betfair and Paddy Power when it comes to having a bet. While putting money on a horse winning a race may sound like a relatively straightforward matter, there is a wide range of bets available. For example, are you planning to keep it simple with a single bet on one race? Or, alternatively, are you looking to take a chance on a larger gamble with an accumulator? Thankfully, that is where online odds calculators come into their own. These handy tools can make a huge difference to your betting activity, providing you with a full overview of the options available and ultimately helping you to place the bet – or combination of bets – that works best for you. In this article, we are going to take a closer look at the concept of odds calculators, how they tend to work, and the key benefits that they can offer in terms of boosting your betting balance. What is an odds calculator? On the most basic level, odds calculators are designed to help you understand the implications of your bets and ultimately determine what returns you will receive if you are successful. Such tools tend to operate in a standard format, with them first asking you to input the type of bet that you have made or are planning to make. This could be anything from a single to a Yankee to Super Heinz or an accumulator. Once you’ve provided this information, you will then be asked to enter the odds on your bet and also the stake that you’ve placed on it. The calculator may also ask you to either enter the odds in the decimal or fraction format, but we will touch upon the key issues related to that further on in this article. You will then repeat that process however many times is necessary – for example, if you have placed multiple bets – and then may also be able to add information related to Dead Heats or any situation when Rule 4 may have come into play. The latter offers compensation in the event that a horse withdraws from a race after a bet is placed. Clear benefits. After providing full information regarding your range of bets, the odds calculator will then take care of the hard work by doing the maths and generating an overview of the bets you have made or are planning to make, as well as the potential returns which will be available if you are successful. Choose your each-way terms with the odds calculator – these vary based on the number of runners and the type of race. As you may have already realised, such tools offer clear benefits to horse racing fans whether they are planning for future races or even checking what their final winnings will be after placing several bets. The ability to input information on a combination of bets is a particular benefit, as it ensures you do not get a headache while attempting to consider the potential outcomes of the bets you have made. Fractions vs decimals. For a great number of horse racing fans, the use of fractions is the traditional way of viewing the odds for the runners and riders, but the use of decimals is something which has grown significantly across recent years, too. The concept operates on the straightforward notion that you simply multiply a stake by the decimal shown and the outcome will be your total winnings. For example, if you place a £1 bet on a horse with odds of 4.00, you will get a return of £4. While the use of decimals may seem very simple in that respect, it is worth bearing in mind that the concept offers up one fundamental difference in comparison to the use of fractional odds. When it comes to decimal odds, your stake is always factored into the return that you calculate but this is not the case when following the fraction method. In terms of the latter, if you put £1 on odds of 4/1 you will receive £4 in profit but also get your £1 stake back too – so £5 in total. As such, the fraction allows you to work out your winnings, but you will also need to factor in that your stake will also be returned to you as well. A better understanding. It goes without saying that a huge number of people across the globe love betting on horse racing with bookmakers like Betfair and Paddy Power , whether they are attending race meetings in person, following the action on TV, or online via streaming services. You can get free Timeform tips for every British and Irish horse race and free Infogol tips on Europe's biggest football leagues. However, it is also true that some can find it a complicated world to navigate around and they often want a bit of a helping hand to get started. Whatever your level of experience, taking some time to gain a better understanding of how the different formats for odds work can be an important step towards making informed decisions on your betting. Furthermore, the use of odds calculators can help you fully understand how specific combinations of bets could put you on the path towards winning big and also ensure you are fully aware of the winnings that you are due.

A bet calculator is an absolute necessity in the arsenal of any serious bettor. The sports betting calculator allows users to simplify some of the more complicated math and get quick and precise calculations of odds and potential winnings. To learn more about how to use a betting calculator and the different odds formats available for sports betting read below. How To Use A Betting Odds Calculator. A betting odds calculator takes the odds and stake of a particular bet and figures out the payout automatically. Thus, in order to understand how to use a betting odds calculator, we must first understand the different types of betting odds. There are three popular methods of displaying odds at sports betting sites: American, Decimal and Fractional. Each type of odds requires different calculating methods when using a sports betting odds calculator. You can also have a look at our odds converter! American Odds. Profit = (Stake * Odds) / 100. Taking the example above, if we added a stake of $50 we can calculate the potential winnings from the bet using an odds calculator: Profit = (50 * 275)/100 Profit = 13750/100 Profit = $137.50. When calculating American odds for minus odds wagers, you are calculating the odds for favorites, which returns less than even money in profits. So if we took the same example and gave the Boston Red Sox odds of -140, it would represent the fact you would have to wager $140 to make a profit of $100. To calculate the profit for an American minus odds you may use the formula: Profit = (Stake / Odds) * 100. So if the Red Sox were getting -140 odds and you were going to wager $50 on them the betting calculator calculation would go like this: Profit = (50 / 140) * 100 Profit = (0.357) * 100 Profit = $35.7. When using an American odds bet calculator, you will only be required to know your stake and odds, the calculator will do the rest. Decimal Odds. Decimal odds are very popular across the globe with most online sportsbooks using decimal odds as their default. With decimal odds, you get the sum of the amount you would get in return for a $1 bet. At most online sportsbooks like BetRivers or bet365, you can switch to this format if you prefer. For example, let’s take a basketball game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics. If the Lakers were getting 2.50 odds for the game, it would mean that for every $1 you bet on the team you would get $2.50. To break it down, you would receive your stake back as $1 and another $1.50 in profits. Calculating the potential earnings for decimal odds is very simple. You simply multiply your stake by the odds and then subtract your stake. Profit = (Stake * Odds) – Stake. Let’s take a look at the above example with a stake of $50. Profit = (50 * 2.50) – 50 Profit = (125) – 50 Profit = $75. While the calculations for decimal odds may seem very easy when the profits for accumulator bets are being calculated it’s best to use a betting odds calculator to ensure your accuracy. An odds calculator will automatically work out the odds of all the wagers combined and give potential winnings for parlay bets in seconds. Fractional Odds. Fractional odds are popular in the European region, especially amongst horse racing bettors in the UK and sometimes for Daytona 500 betting. With fractional odds, you are given the profit in proportion to the stake. So for example, if we had a matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins where the Cowboys were getting 3/2 odds, it would mean that for every $2 you bet, you would get $3 in profit. The way a betting odds calculator calculates the profits for a fractional odds bet is by dividing your stake by the denominator and then multiply the stake by the numerator: Profit = (Stake / denominator) * numerator. Taking the example mentioned above, if we add a stake of $100 to the Cowboys who are getting 3/2 odds, then the bet calculator calculation would go like this: Profit = (100 / 2) * 3 Profit = (50) * 3 Profit = $150.
Current Sports Betting Market. Sport betting has evolved so much in recent years that many long time winning strategies are no longer profitable. As many gamblers are not yet aware of this, or are quick to write-off strategic ideas that span beyond conventional wisdom, I’ll discuss this using an easy to understand analysis of the “fade the public” betting system. Here I’ll explain why this system was profitable, and now, while still better than blindly picking teams, is no longer so. After reading this article you’ll have a better understanding of the current betting market and how you can profit from it. Fade the Public Explained. Fade the public simply refers to betting against popular teams. An example of how this system works, a professional sports bettor visits a sports bar and listens for, and perhaps participates in, discussions about various sporting events. His goal is to find out which teams the others in the bar are certain will cover the spread, and which teams have no chance. He repeats this process at other sports bars. Once he’s confident that there is a strong fan bias for a certain team to cover the spread, he makes a wager on the opposite side, “fading the public”. During the early to mid 0 decade, this was a highly profitable system, and many who used it with disciplined bankroll growth strategies grew wealthy. Unfortunately, for those still using the system, while it is better than blind picking teams, it is no longer a profitable system. To understand why, we need to first look at the reason “fade the public” once worked. Why Fading the Public Once Worked. Fading the public worked at a time when betting point spreads and odds was largely based on fan biases. There were dozens of games each week where the bookmakers could predict which side of the game they expected to take the most bets on, and then set the line accordingly. For example, in baseball when the New York Yankees played the KC Royals, the bookmaker knew that no matter what odds he set, most bettors would take the championship favored Yankees over the perpetually cellared KC Royals. To make maximum profits, he’d set the odds so steep on the Yankees, that anyone betting the Royals was getting a better price than true odds and therefore had a bet with positive expectation (+EV). This worked because betting limits were small, and the bookmaker took far more Yankees bets than Royals bets. To cover a little about betting limits, in 2003 the maximum bet on NFL sides ranged from $500 to $10,000 at each bookmaker, with the lower end of this range the most common. Whales with a proven track record were often allowed to bet more, while sharps (professionals) frequently found themselves either banned or only allowed to bet a fraction of the amount granted to others at each bookmaker. Bookmakers serviced mostly recreational players, and it was difficult for professionals to get considerable action; therefore, lines opened based on anticipated recreational action, and were adjusted based on recreational action as well. Professional Friendly Betting Sites Changed the Market. Around 2004 or 2005, a handful of online betting sites realized the internet gambling boom was nearing its peak, at least in terms of new players registering to open accounts. While other sites were giving out massive cash bonuses and +EV bets to lock in new players, a couple sites changed their focus entirely. These sites decided that professional bettors, the ones they had recently spent time banning and limit collaring, were more profitable clients over the long term. This seemed a risky idea, but as long as lines were set correctly, the lopsided action didn’t matter too much, as the bookmaker would profit over the long haul from their theoretical hold, which is their term for what we gamblers call juice or vig. These professional betting sites cannot get away with the old tricks of shading a line to increase profit. In fact, they have to work quite hard to find a line where smart money no longer has interest in betting. The trick of their trade is moving the lines as bets come in until they have what is considered a “sharp line”. Once they have this, line fluctuation is minor and neither side is a plus EV bet. Recreational Sites Must Follow Professional Sites. I need to call special attention to what I’ll cover next, as this is the area most fail to understand about the betting market. Today, while the number of professionals capable of capping well enough to spot value on opening lines is still small, there are literally thousands of well financed sports bettors, as well as those just starting to get a bankroll built, who understand how to cap the market. Let me put this into perspective with an example: To sum this up, there are thousands, if not tens of thousands, of gamblers who understand this same strategy. When recreational sites offer poor lines, as they used to do prior to the days of professional betting sites, it is now easy to see. Compare lines at Pinnacle, and bet anything that is off. As a result, when a recreational betting site tries shading the line, they end up being hit with an arsenal of small to midsized bets that force them to follow the same lead as professional sites. They need to adjust the line to the point where smart money or, more important to them, those following smart money, no longer have an interest. It doesn’t matter if a site is professional or not. The line which was the last available prior to the game starting (the closing line) was a betting proposition where neither side was +EV. Fading the public might be better than blind picking teams, but in today’s betting market it will not result in a profit over the long term. If it does, there are two reasons: There is a factor the betting market hasn’t spotted yet, and this will correct itself in a matter of a week, or, more commonly, the bettor is experiencing short term variance which will regress towards the mean in time. For the same reasons that fading the public is no longer profitable, betting the small home underdog, the ranked favorite underdogs against non ranked favorites, or betting other systems that were profitable for years has also dried up. The reason in short: In today’s betting market, it is smart money, not recreational money, that moves the lines. In terms of dollars bet, smart money now greatly exceeds that of recreational money, and this is by a wide margin. Winning in the Current Betting Market. The second most effective way to profit in the current betting market is with teasers. I’ve covered these in great detail in the teaser betting guide. Teasers betting strategy is not difficult to learn and a great place to get started finding +EV bets.

At an investors event sponsored by Morgan Stanley, executives from MGM Resorts, Hard Rock and Mohegan Sun predicted around $8 billion in revenue by 2025. NEW YORK (AP) — Investors and sports betting companies are running up the score when it comes to sports betting, predicting the fast-growing industry will be a $7 billion to $8 billion business in the U.S. within five years. But not all the many companies flocking to get in on the ground floor will make it, they predict. Panelists at the NYC Sports Betting Investor Summit said Monday that the industry is growing quickly in this country a year and a half after New Jersey won a U.S. Supreme Court ruling clearing the way for all 50 states to offer legal sports betting. So far, 14 do, and many others are considering joining the market. Investment firm Morgan Stanley predicts the U.S. market will generate almost $7 billion in revenue by 2025, up from $833 million this year. That’s up from an estimate of $5 billion the company had issued less than a year ago. That amount would represent less than 20% of the $41.7 billion won by commercial casinos in the U.S. in 2018. Still, it represents a substantial new revenue stream that, for legal operators, did not exist a year and a half ago. At the investors event sponsored by Morgan Stanley, executives from MGM Resorts, Hard Rock and Mohegan Sun all issued similar predictions in the $6 billion to $8 billion range. And the research firm Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, which tracks sports betting regulation and revenue, said those figures are “very close” to its own estimates of future market size. Participants at the forum cautioned that while the industry is growing quickly, the high cost of acquiring customers and promoting a new business could lead to some current operators failing. “It’s war out there,” said Seth Young, chief information officer for PointsBet. “At the end of the day there’s going to be a lot of carcasses out there on the road.” “It is a growing market here in terms of revenue but it’s a very tough market,” added Scott Butera, president of interacting gaming for MGM Resorts International.” Everybody wants to be here Ultimately I think we’ll see some shaking out.” Nonetheless, Butera said he believes U.S. sports betting will exceed even the increased figures cited at Monday’s forum. “I’ll take the over on $8 billion,” he said. Morgan Stanley gave a high-end bullish estimate that sports betting could generate $15 billion in revenue by 2025 if every state in the nation has legalized it by then. Its worst-case estimate is a $2.5 billion market with only 22 states participating. Panelists predicted as many as 10 new operators may soon join the market. Operators continue to spend heavily to attract new customers, who in turn still must jump through several hurdles to deposit funds in their accounts as many major credit cards will not finance gambling transactions. Kresmir Spajic, senior vice president of online gaming and sports betting for Hard Rock International, said 80% of sports betting transactions in Europe are financed using credit cards, compared with about 30% in the U.S. Even as the conference was underway, numerous sports betting transactions and partnerships were being announced around the country. The National Basketball Association and DraftKings announced a multiyear partnership that will make DraftKings an authorized sports betting operator of the league. And BetIndiana and Sportradar, the provider of sports data and content, inked a partnership to bring Sportradar’s real-time sports data and managed trading services to BetIndiana’s mobile sportsbook.

There’s a Plan to Bring Sports Gambling to the Futures Market. Proponents of a new proposal before the CFTC say they’ve found a way for legal sportsbooks to manage their risk. LISTEN TO ARTICLE. SHARE THIS ARTICLE. The futures market is often referred to as Wall Street’s casino. Now, in a twist, there’s a proposal to let casinos start trading futures. The marriage of the gambling industry and high finance is being pushed by a cryptocurrency exchange and a Washington lawyer. Hoping to grab a piece of the billions of dollars flowing into the U.S. sports betting industry, they’ve designed futures contracts based on National Football League games and are petitioning regulators to bless them. That could be challenging: Congress banned financial instruments involving gaming in 2010. But the promoters argue that the futures, tied to the outcome of a football game, have nothing to do with gambling. Instead, they’re marketing the contracts as risk management tools for legal sportsbooks, akin to any other financial derivative a business might use to offset potential losses or protect against price swings. They’re essentially asking regulators to think of casino operators as farmers, but instead of using futures as insurance against a bad crop they might be trying to hedge a Tampa Bay Buccaneers win. Trading in the football futures would be limited to licensed sportsbooks, vendors, and companies that agree to help set prices and take the other side of trades as market makers. Individuals and hedge funds that may just want to speculate on the contracts would be barred from the market. “This is not a substitute for gaming,” says Thomas Chippas, the chief executive officer of ErisX, the exchange that wants to list the contracts. “There is underlying economic risk that is being hedged.” ErisX formally asked the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in mid-December to approve the futures, setting off a 90-day waiting period so that the agency could seek comments from the public. The exchange and its partner, attorney Jeff Ifrah, have spent several months meeting with the agency’s commissioners and making their case with help from a well-connected CFTC lobbying firm, Delta Strategy Group. If the CFTC assents to their proposal, they would like to quickly offer futures for professional basketball and baseball as well. Sports Betting. The CFTC is treading carefully. It’s asked interested parties to weigh in on a series of questions, including whether the futures “are contrary to the public interest”; whether they could be used to influence the outcome of a sporting event; and if the products would fall under the ban on gaming contracts. If the agency signs off, some critics say the regulator, which was established mainly to police agricultural commodities and protect farmers, would be entering into territory it knows little about. It could also in essence be putting a government stamp of approval on the gambling industry. Even if individuals are never allowed to trade such futures, giving gaming companies the ability to transfer some of their risk would allow casinos to accept more—and larger—wagers. “The only winner under this type of proposal are the casinos themselves,” says Les Bernal, national director of the Washington advocacy group Stop Predatory Gambling. “It’s going to lead to citizens losing billions of dollars more money than they already are losing.” The CFTC’s “approval is highly unlikely,” says Patrick McCarty, who runs his own government affairs firm and as a Senate Agriculture Committee aide helped draft the derivatives provisions in the 2010 law that barred gaming contracts. He also notes that the CFTC should be wary of setting a precedent that down the road could put it in the position of doing an end run around gambling regulation, which is the responsibility of the states. “It’s like opening a door that the commission doesn’t want to go through.” Another potential hurdle is the sports leagues themselves. In comments to the CFTC, both the NFL and the National Basketball Association were lukewarm on the prospect, saying the agency should take its time studying the issue. “We want to work with the sports leagues to make sure their concerns are addressed,” Ifrah says. The CFTC’s decision is likely to be closely watched not only in the gaming world but also on Wall Street, where gambling is a favorite pastime of traders. Gaming is seen as a big business opportunity as well. Betting on individual sporting events, which was legalized by the Supreme Court in 2018, now accounts for an estimated $1.4 billion in annual revenue in the U.S., and data firm H2 Gambling Capital predicts that may double soon. Twenty-five states and the District of Columbia now allow sports wagering, and more are considering legalizing it. “The numbers in this space are enormous,” says Chippas of ErisX. His company was brought into the venture after its lobbyists at Delta Strategy introduced the company to Ifrah. A criminal defense attorney who’s also developed an expertise in gaming law, Ifrah came up with the idea for the contracts and launched a business called RSBIX to design and market them. The lawyer says he’s never placed a bet himself. In its application, ErisX is seeking approval for three different types of contracts on NFL games, each mirroring a common type of bet. One is based on the so-called moneyline, a wager on the outright winner of the game. Another contract takes into account the point spread for the favored team. And the third is on the “over-under,” or the total points scored. The futures are designed to help solve a problem in sports betting that’s cropped up because it’s legal only in individual states. That can result in the local team drawing most of the wagers, setting up a sportsbook for an imbalance that could potentially lead to a big loss. The problem is particularly acute, the futures advocates say, with high-profile events such as the Super Bowl. In its CFTC application, ErisX cited reports of Rhode Island- and New Jersey-licensed sportsbooks losing millions on the 2019 game between the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams—which the Patriots won, 13-3—because of uneven betting. The disparity, ErisX and Ifrah say, could be eased by the gaming company buying or selling futures contracts on games it’s concerned about. Sportsbooks make money on fees charged to bettors, so they try to stay as neutral as possible in the wagers they accept. The trades would work like this: A casino in Pennsylvania, say, that’s getting too many bets on the Philadelphia Eagles against the Patriots is nervous that an Eagles win will force it to pay out much more than it’s taken in. The casino goes to the exchange and sells contracts based on the game, taking a position that the Patriots will win. The buyer on the other side could be a sportsbook in New Hampshire with the opposite problem. Once a sportsbook makes a request to buy or sell, it will go to a central order book where other casinos, vendors, and market makers could see the offer and agree to the trade. From that point on the futures can be bought and freely sold by any of the allowed market participants before the game.
What Is A Parlay Bet? Strategy And Parlay Calculator. A parlay is a single sports wager that involves two or more bets combined into one. This can include point spreads , moneylines , totals , futures , or even prop bets , as long as the bets are on different games. The allure of these bets has always been a larger payout than choosing a single team to win. But there’s more gamble to these types of wagers because every “leg” of the parlay needs to not lose in order to win. If one leg loses, the whole parlay loses. The flexibility of a parlay bet also makes it attractive to gamblers. You can combine multiple sports into your parlay bet; for example, you can include the Cowboys from the NFL, the Celtics from the NBA and the Coyotes from the NHL into a single bet. If they all win, you win. Test out the parlay calculator above and compare odds at different sportsbooks to see how it works! Placing a parlay bet. There are two ways to place a parlay bet and both are quite simple. Bettors can either tell the ticket writer directly which teams and totals they’d like to bet on and how much they’d like to risk on the bet. Filling out a parlay card is the other option for placing this kind of bet. Once the card is filled in, the bettor simply needs to visit the sportsbook desk to place the bet. Some mobile sports wagering apps offer both types of parlay bets. Get the best parlay deal at online sportsbooks with Parlay Insurance here: Winning a parlay. There are two instances when a parlay can be a winning bet. A parlay only wins if none of the sides, totals or moneylines selected is a loser. The parlay can still be a winner if a game is canceled or ends in a tie. The pay schedule will simply more down to the lesser payment. For example, the bettor will win if a baseball parlay for four teams has three winners and one game is canceled because of rain. The bet will only pay based on the schedule for three winners instead of four as originally planned. The bet is a loser if one pick for a parlay is wrong. Parlay odds. Not all parlay payouts are the same. Sportsbooks may have different odds for the number of teams bet in a parlay. This can be very confusing when looking at online sports that have different odds and payouts for the same parlay. Further, these odds may change at any time so bettors should check with the ticket writer in sportsbook before placing a parlay. Parlay payouts. Payouts for a parlay are fixed by the time the bet is placed. Even if the lines and odds for an individual game move, the parlay lines and odds won’t change from when the parlay bet was placed. The parlay bet won’t be changed whether the lines change for or against the bettor. If the lines change for a game, or games, in the favor of the bettor another parlay may be bet with the new line. The original bet cannot be changed and the bet will stand. The good news is that the bettor has two live parlay bets. Types of parlays. A parlay is a type of sports bet and there are different variations of this kind of wager. The most common types of parlays are Round Robin parlays and Teasers . Round Robin. A Round Robin bet is placing multiple parlay wagers at once . It’s just that simple. Round Robin bets are just a way to simplify making multiple parlays. When a bettor “Round Robin’s” teams in sports betting it’s similar to a horse bettor “boxing” horses for an exacta or trifecta bet in a race. The bettor will select anywhere from 3 to 8 teams or totals to be in the Round Robin. They will then choose how many teams or totals they’d like to tie together for the Round Robin. For example, a bettor may select eight teams and totals for a Round Robin and tie the parlays to as many three-team combinations as possible. The combination of teams will dictate how many different parlays the bettor has. Continuing the example, if a bettor wants to Round Robin eight teams they will have 28 different parlays if they choose two teams. If the bettor chooses to make three-team parlays they will have 56 different parlay tickets. The ticket will cost the amount chosen for each parlay. If the bettor only has $300 they might choose to Round Robin the teams by two, so they have 28 different parlays for $10 each. The payout for each winning parlay is the same as it would be if the parlay bets were each made individually. Teaser. A teaser is similar to a traditional parlay where the bettor can select multiple teams or totals . However, there are no moneylines allowed with a teaser. Unlike a parlay, the bettor may move each point spread or total plus or minus a certain number of points. The additional points on the spread or total make these bets easier to win and thus they pay less than a traditional parlay. Teaser bets can change the point spreads or totals anywhere from six to 10 points. However, each leg of the teaser must use the same number of points. Those legs of the teaser may go in different directions. Much like a traditional parlay, the more teams involved with a teaser the better the payoff. Again, different sportsbooks have different odds and rules so they might have different payouts and teaser options available to bet. Parlay Cards. The more popular way to bet parlays in casinos today seems to be with a Parlay Card. These are the long narrow cards where bettors fill in the numbered circle of the side or point spread they want to include in their bet. Once the teams and totals are chosen the bettor simply presents the filled in portion on the card to the ticket writer in the sportsbook along with how much they’d like to wager. Parlay Cards are especially popular during football season. There are many different types of Parlay Cards including a variety of teasers, ties win and reverse teaser cards known as pleasers. These are more popular every year so the mobile sports wagering apps have started to add Parlay Cards for mobile bettors. Bet with your head, not over it.

Sports Betting: How to Bet Parlays. Do You Know How to Bet Parlays? Nick M Do/Getty Images. Parlays are by far the most popular of the exotic wagers, as they offer the potential for a big payout on a small wager. Simply stated, a parlay is a collection of two or more sides or totals that you bet on and all of them must win in order for you to win your bet. If you place a four-team parlay, going 3-1 is no different than going 0-4. All of your bets must win, or at least tie, in order for you to win. There are basic types of parlays, those wagered against the point spread and those wagered using the money line. The payoffs a bettor will receive should they win are quite different in the two. In parlays involving point spreads, the payoff is fixed, while money line parlay payoffs are determined by the odds of each team. Point Spread Parlays. The odds on a typical parlay involving point spreads, including totals, are generally something like: 2 teams 13-5 3 teams 6-1 4 teams 10-1 5 teams 25-1 6 teams 40-1 7 teams 75-1 8 teams 150-1 9 teams 300-1 10 teams 600-1. What this means is that a bettor making a wager on a five-team parlay stands to win $25 for every $1 if all of their games win, while a correct eight-parlay will pay out $150 for every $1 wagered. The ability to win a lot of money for a small bet is the primary reason parlays are popular with a number of sports bettors. Money Line Parlays. Money line parlays do not use fixed odds because the odds of winning vary greatly from team to team. While a parlay made against the point spread assumes a 50-50 chance for each team of winning, money line parlays do not. The chances of a good baseball team with its ace pitcher on the mound defeating a mediocre opponent are going to be greater than 50 percent and the payout if the parlay hits will reflect this. To put it in simple terms, money line parlays take the amount of your bet and place all of the money on one team and if that team wins, recalculates your bet amount on the next team, again placing your entire wager on that team. Are Parlays Good Bets? The simple answer is no, especially parlays involving point spreads or totals. The odds of the payoff are much less than the true odds. For example, the true odds of winning a three-team parlay when making point spread wagers are 7-1, while the payoff is only 6-1, and it gets worse as you bet more teams. The true odds of hitting a 10-team point parlay are 1,023-1, while the payoff is generally around 600-1, so a parlay bettor is at a big disadvantage. Money line parlay payoffs are calculated on the odds of the game, so there is no advantage or disadvantage in playing them. Bettors should stick with straight bets when betting against the point spread or totals as it's difficult enough to pick one winner, let alone two or more games and the odds you are asked to try and beat are nearly impossible to overcome in the long run.
Parlay Strategy. A parlay bet is a popular form of sports wagering most gamblers are familiar with. In case you’re not, this bet is rather easy to understand. A parlay is simply a combo bet where, rather than betting several teams individually, you group them into a single wager. Using this option, the payout is greater and the risk is less, but you need all teams selected to win. What happens if there’s a push in a parlay? That bet will be taken out of the parlay and the payout will be reduced as if there were one fewer team in the parlay. So if you had a 4 team parlay and you got three picks cocrrect and the other was a push, you would be paid out the odds of a 3 team parlay. Parlay bets can be very tempting as they can offer some big payouts. See a recent parlay Kevin made at 5Dimes.eu and cashed in on! Are Parlays Sucker Bets? There is a general misconception in sports betting that all parlays are sucker bets. This is simply because most sports bettors are not familiar with how they work, or how to bet them properly. In this article, I’ll address parlay betting strategies, but first let’s look at parlay odds and how they are calculated. The parlay odds at most Las Vegas sportsbooks are: 2 teams 2.6 to 1 3 teams 6-1 4 teams 10-1 5 teams 20-1 6 teams 40-1 7 teams 80-1 8 teams 150-1. Let’s say you decide for the next eight weeks you’re going to bet the Monday night football game, starting with a $1.00 bankroll and betting your entire bankroll each week until you go 8-0 or bust. The potential win is as follows: Week 1: $1.00 to win $0.91: If win total profit = $0.91 (Bankroll =$1.91) Week 2: $1.91 to win $1.74: If win total profit = $2.65 (Bankroll =$3.65) Week 3: $3.65 to win $3.32: If win total profit = $5.97 (Bankroll =$6.97) Week 4: $6.97 to win $6.34: If win total profit = $12.31 (Bankroll =$13.31) Week 5: $13.31 to win $12.10: If win total profit = $24.41 (Bankroll =$25.41) Week 6: $25.41 to win $23.10: If win total profit = $46.51 (Bankroll =$47.51) Week 7: $47.51 to win $43.19: If win total profit = $89.70 (Bankroll =$90.70) Week 8: $90.70 to win $82.45: If win total profit = $172.15 (Bankroll =$173.15) The reason parlays are often sucker bets shows up in this middle column. Had you bet these in an 8 team parlay, you’d only get paid 150 to one. Essentially, a parlay is no different than betting all in each time, only parlays generally pay much worse. However, you’ll notice the odds are not poor until you get to four teams, where the sportsbook has a whopping 31.25% advantage. Two teams pay a smidgen worse than the manual parlay (all in each time) option, where three team parlays pay a smidgen better. Rarely ever is a 2 or 3 team parlay a true suckers bet. What Does a Parlay Pay? As I mentioned earlier, fixed parlay odds vary greatly between online sportsbooks. Here is some info on which sites offer the best fixed parlay odds: 3 team parlays pay 6/1 or $600 for every $100 bet. BetOnline.ag is the leader in the industry in 3 team parlay payouts. Generally speaking, parlaying 5 teams or more teams is not a good idea; however, for sports gamblers looking for a lotto ticket, 5dimes.eu and Bookmaker.eu each offer up to 15 team parlays and have by far the best odds in the business on these. True Odds Parlays. 1 Earlier, I mentioned fixed odds are only given when all selections are 50/50 propositions. If one side of a line requires a greater stake than the other to yield the same payout, this is not a 50/50 proposition, and the bookmaker will now use “true odds”. What’s important to note is that true odds doesn’t actually mean the “true odds” of winning. Rather, true odds pays the same as if you bet each team individually and rolled the profit forward each time, which is what I showed in the example of 8 all in bets starting with a $1.00 stake. Let’s say you’re in the mood to gamble on an 8 team parlay, but the only out available to you is a bookmaker paying 150-1 fixed odds. A trick of the trade here is to include one bet that is priced differently than -110 in order to force the bookmaker to use true odds. So, let’s say you make 7 selections priced at the standard -110 pricing and one at -115. A true parlay calculates by multiplying each modifier together. The math is 1.91 * 1.91 * 1.91 * 1.91 * 1.91 * 1.91 * 1.91 * 1.87, which equals 173.41. This bet returns 173.41 times the stake, which includes the risk amount, so the bet is 1 to win 172.41. Notice this is significantly better than the fixed odds payout of 1 to win 150 on an 8 team parlay. In short, the trick of the trade when dealing with poor fixed odds is to simply add one team to the parlay that is priced differently than the standard -110. As you can now see, if you know how to bet parlays properly, they are not always sucker bets. There are, however, a few reasons that parlays are generally not a good move. I’ll cover these, and then cover the times it does make sense. Top Reasons to Avoid Parlays. 1) Progressive betting systems are generally regarded as poor strategy for both bankroll management and bankroll growth. Professional bettors make wagers based on their quantified edge per game. While the math can work out, doing the math for proper bet sizing on a parlay is a lot of added work with little to no upside for most sports bettors. 2) Parlay bets have higher variance than straight bets. Here you’re getting the same odds, but your chance of hitting a dry spell is greatly increased. When the odds are the same it is most often better to go with the lower variance option, which in this case is straight wagers. 3) Line Shopping – Sports bettors maximize their profit by always shopping for the best price. For example, finding -4 when other sites are -4.5, and finding reduced vig options such as -104 instead of -110. When betting parlays, you’ll need to find the most favorable odds for each team at a single betting site. This scenario is rare, so generally you’ll end up with better odds by making straight wagers at multiple betting sites. Parlays That Make the Most Sense: Reduced Juice – BetOnline.ag offers 6.5 to one on three team parlays. This comes out better than betting sides at the -105 price standard reduced juice sports books offer. In sports such as NFL football where 50/50 wagering propositions are common, a sports bettor gets far superior odds by betting 3 team parlays at BetOnline. Correlated Parlays – If a bookmaker was offering betting lines on both “will it be cloudy today?” and “will it rain today?”, if allowed, you’d be much better off betting either both as no, or both as yes, in a parlay bet as opposed to straight wagers. While this is a simplified example, there are plenty of times when outcomes are correlated in sports betting. For example, a handicapper might determine that if one team covers the spread, the game is more likely to go over or under the posted total. Also, during the final week of the NFL season, a certain team winning or losing the day game might result in a previously important night game now having no meaning in the playoff race. Free Play Bonuses – Several online betting sites, for example BetNow, offer players free bets based on the size of their initial deposit. Free play bonuses are not the same as cash. The difference is that a bet made with cash returns both stake and win, where a bet made with a free play returns only win. Parlays allow you the chance to use the same free play more than once, because a parlay really is only a wager that continues to place stake+win on the next selection. Remember, fixed odd three team parlays pay a little better than true odds. So when using free plays to bet 3 team parlays, you’re getting slightly better odds, and also a chance to apply that free play stake to three different bets. This is common knowledge that 3 team parlays are a great use of free play bonuses.
Gambling 101: What is a Parlay Bet? Legal sports betting is now available in several states, and bills are pending in many more. Full-service sportsbooks are popping up across the country and offer everything from futures betting to live in-game wagering options. Parlays are part of the package, and this SI Gambling 101 feature focuses on the pitfalls and benefits associated with accumulator bets. Parlay betting is high risk and high reward. It's not for everyone and is shunned by some in the betting community due to low winning percentages. For those that don't mind a little extra risk to collect a more substantial reward, there are a variety of parlay options available. Offered on all major pro and college sports, a two-team combo is the most basic parlay. While the risk rises, with each added leg, bettors can include upwards of 15 teams on a single wager. Each team selected must win or tie to cash a winning ticket. For example, if one game ends in a tie, a four-team parlay would be reduced to a three-team ticket. Point spread, moneyline, and game total options can be used on parlays. Tickets can consist of multiple wagers on a single sport or selections from a variety of sports. For example, on Super Bowl Sunday bettors can build a parlay ticket with the NFL title game and add bets from the NBA and NHL. Original investments are returned on winning parlay wagers. What are the Payouts on Parlay Tickets? Calculating parlay payouts is a complicated process that requires figuring out implied odds. To simplify things, let's use two sides that are both priced with (-110) odds. Those lines convert to 1.91 decimal odds that are then multiplied together to reach 3.64 implied odds. Therefore, Pittsburgh (-110) plus Baltimore (-110) would return a $264 profit on a $100 wager. Calculation: 1.91 X 1.91 = 3.64 implied odds X $100 bet = $264 profit. During the 2020 NFC and AFC Championships games, bettors were asked to pay heavy juice to bet on the Chiefs and 49ers. Wagering on the favorites paid a $58.82 total return on two $100 bets. Bettors who tied Kansas City and San Francisco together earned a $134.95 profit on a $200 two-team parlay. There was added risk since both teams needed to win, but the reward was an extra $76.13 profit. Parlay Betting Pros and Cons. The biggest drawback with parlays is the added risk that comes from needing to select two or more sides. Everyone knows how difficult it can be to pick just one winner. Odds of cashing a single bet are basically 50/50 since one side will win and one side will lose. While the payout goes up, odds of winning get worse with each team added to a parlay ticket. Combos are "all or nothing" bets, as winning three games on a four-team team combo doesn't earn a return. Beyond the large payouts, earned with a small investment, parlays have positives. When possible, it's wise to have a mix of early and late-night games on parlay tickets. If the early games win, an in-game wager on the late-night contest can set up a guaranteed profit. Also, some sportsbooks offer early cashouts to reduce their risk. The payout is lower, but bettors don't need to sweat the games still in play. Hedges and cashouts are personal decisions worth considering.

Fat' Jack Ross considers himself stockbroker for sports bettors. Golf shirt, flip-flops, a cell phone, and "Fat" Jack Ross is ready for work. A quick meeting at the casino, then off to Vegas in the afternoon before heading to Florida next week to meet with some clients and then finalize more syndication for a radio show in the fall. But for now, just a tall glass of iced tea will do as he easily summarizes everything about himself. "I'm very blessed,'' he said. "I guess you could say I'm just lucky on all fronts.'' Is that what you call it when your life is a man-cation of card-playing, sports-betting, golf-swinging fun? Two parts Vegas high roller and equal parts shaken and stirred. Ross does what most men would do if only they could only just convince their wives and fatten their wallets " presumably in that order. But Fat Jack isn't anything like most men. In between regular jaunts to Vegas and Florida, he smiles wide and bets big. He also has all the answers. About 52 percent of the time. In this business, that's pretty good. And luck has nothing to do with it. LUCK BE A NORMAN LANDLORD Fat Jack is Jack Ross, a Norman resident, landlord, World Series of Poker card player, part-time radio personality, boat owner, traveler, dad of two, husband of one and a self-proclaimed stockbroker for sports gamblers. If you've ever listened to sports or sports talk on the radio " and in Oklahoma, that's not a rarity " or if you've ever searched for that small type buried in the corner of the sports page labeled "Today's Line,'' you've heard of Ross. That's because he sells himself as a winner " or at least a guy who can pick them. While around Norman, he may be known as Jackie " the 1988 Norman High graduate and the waiter who used to race patrons (and win) in the parking lot of the old Interurban Restaurant right on the railroad tracks " he's now more famous for his sports handicapping. In other words, for a fee, he'll tell you what's going to happen in the upcoming game. From there, you take his knowledge and do with it what you want. Not illegal, because he's just supplying the information. Not against the law, because Ross is just making predictions. While sports betting is illegal in Oklahoma, it's not illegal to take money for passing on such wisdom. Ross isn't the guy who goes Tony Soprano and breaks your finger if you don't pay off your bets, because Ross doesn't take the bets. Instead, he sells his picks nationally and thrives locally. And for $475, you can get all of his picks for 30 days. Or you can choose any number of pick-packages, including the all-you-can-eat version that gets you everything from football season all the way through basketball season. Cost: $3,495. You also get his guarantee that if you sign up early and follow his system, you will have a winning season. If you don't, you get a trip for two to Las Vegas, "absolutely free.'' "It's a shady business,'' Ross said. "And I'm part of it. I guess you could say I'm a stockbroker for sports bettors. But I do want to be honest and upfront. The difference between me and the rest of the guys in this business is that I'm around and I can win. If you don't win in this business, you won't last.'' STATISTICS Ross has lasted (his business is going into its eighth season) and the numbers back him up, but they aren't the kind of statistics you want with your bankroll on the line. However, they are the kind of picks that stand up well among others in the biz. For the 2008-2009 sports season, according to the Web site estimates, which documents sports handicappers throughout the country, Ross made 91 selections on National Football League games that he gave to his clients. He got 48 of them correct, good for 52.75 percent. For college football, a sport Ross considers his expertise, he went 83-56, good for 59.7 percent. Overall, according to the site's estimates, Ross went 323-297 (52 percent), including picks on the National Basketball Association and college basketball. "I would tell you there's probably about 25 guys who handicap at an elite level,'' said longtime friend and WWLS-FM sports show host Jim Traber. "He's one of them. I don't know his system. I don't know how he does it, but it's worked out. He's not a fake and he's not one of those dudes you hear shouting on the radio that disappear by the end of the season.'' That's because Ross says he's different than most. "Just a guy who's grounded and normal,'' said Brandon Rush, who used to produce "The Fat Jack Sports Hour," Ross' radio show on WWLS. "But then you see those pictures on his Web site where they are fishing for barracudas or something, or those pictures of him holding that money, and it looks crazy. But really, he's a guy who I have gotten to know and a guy I like.'' Ross has been married to his wife, Caryn, for 16 years. He has a 10-year-old son, Jack, and a 7-year-old daughter, Caytie. Ross might tell you Wisconsin is 6.5 points better than Iowa in next Saturday's game, but he isn't going to miss Jack's next ball game or Caytie's next dance recital to jet off to a card tournament in Belize. "He lives the way he wants to and does it well,'' Traber said. "He's a great family guy. He's there for his kids, and he's not just there to be there. He never lets the gambling and the work get in the way of missing something his kids are doing.'' Dad of the Year? Well, he tries, and that's taken something away from the sexiness of gambling, Vegas and smoky poker rooms. Ross does admit to not being as good at golf as he once was, and not nearly good enough at poker to compete at the elite level he'd like to be. "Cards are just a hobby to me. I'm a big eater and an average golfer,'' he said. But picking football and basketball games? "That's what I'm good at.'' Ross said he goes to Vegas at least a "month's worth of days per year,'' and plays card tournaments and meets with his clients often " all the while, grinding out why it is the Minnesota Vikings will lose by less than 5.5 points to the New England Patriots next week before passing it on to his subscribers. JEALOUS YET? Life's good for Fat Jack as long as he stays above that heads-or-tails 50-percent mark. Dip below and it means angry calls from big bettors. "As long as he's winning, it's a great life,'' said Randy Clark, another longtime friend, who runs a real estate appraisal business and also is a sports wagering consultant. "You're probably miserable if you're on a losing streak. It would be real similar to being a trader on Wall Street. You're going to have good weeks or years and you're going to have some lean weeks or years. When that happens, it's stressful and difficult.'' For Ross, there's been some of that stress. He admitted to realizing that he can't win every year. He also dealt with the fact his house " one that he hadn't even moved into yet " burned a few years ago. "And I can tell you for sure, that wasn't a good thing for him,'' Clark said. "He in no way profited from that deal.'' "I just try to do the right thing,'' Ross said. "The reality is, I try not to be a hypocrite about things. My gambling and golf and cards will never affect my family's stability. I just tell the truth. If people are really upset with my picks, I offer their money back.'' Ross said he's had seven winning seasons in the past 10 years. He's had one losing season and another two where he's broken even. He said he's good at his job and doesn't have any conflicts about supporting gambling. "He sits with me at church every Sunday,'' said Brooks Hull, a Norman school board member and community volunteer. "I don't find anything odd about the way he chooses to make a living. I know there's a stigma surrounding gambling, but there's more to Jack than just that. He's a good father, a Little League coach and a very generous person. "Oh, and he's also a hell of a lot of fun to be with.'' Yeah, it's good to be Fat Jack. "All I'm trying to do is win more than I lose,'' Ross said. "This is what I'm good at. Yeah, it's good to be me, but don't ask me that after a bad week.'' "Andrew Gilman.

Betting Odds For X-Factor. When reality TV programming became popular in the late 90s and early 2000s, it was only a matter of time before sportsbooks started offering gambling odds on the world's most popular reality shows. Entertainment betting, as these types of wager are known, involves forming odds for the likelihood of different show's winners, and, just like with sports betting, occasionally releasing prop bet odds and wagers on other aspects of the show. On this page, we are going to talk about the various ways of betting on X Factor USA, explain the different betting types available to fans of the show, and help you find where to place the bets at the best entertainment wagering sites online. The Fox network has announced the cancellation of The X Factor. The network made the decision following creator Simon Cowell's plans to return to the UK version of the show. The show's poor ratings also factored into Fox's decision not to pick-up a fourth season of the singing competition, as well as the constant rotation of judges and behind the scenes drama. Cowell still plans to executive produce the NBC summer series America's Got Talent, but will be taking a break from US television for now. As shared by Deadline, Fox planned the development of several scripted series in anticipation of The X Factor's possible cancellation.. Odds to Win X Factor - The kind of odds offered on X Factor are similar to wagering types for other reality shows. Because X Factor's format is so familiar, wagering types for the show are equally familiar. X Factor USA odds are available usually immediately after the first show, once a site's handicappers have determined who the likely winners are, picked out a few underdogs, and released their opinions on who is most likely to take home the X Factor title. Most wagering on X Factor involves betting on specific contestants to win. Prop Odds for X Factor - But as is the case in sports betting, there are bets for X Factor that involve things besides the overall winner of the show. Prop bets for X Factor USA involve everything from head-to-head bets, based on the performance of competitors on the show from week to week, to bets on which judge will vote for which singer. Basically, prop bets for X Factor are just like prop bets in sports - anything you can wager on besides who will be the overall winner of the show is available to fans of X Factor betting. Online sportsbooks are jumping into the entertainment betting scene with both feet. Since you have more options than ever in terms of which online books to place your X Factor USA bets with, we've gone through the list and picked out only those sites that make the best offers to X Factor fans.

X Factor has been on for years in the UK and other parts of the world; only recently has American TV embraced Simon Cowell's competition for American Idol, a show which he created and eventually abandoned. The $5 million recording contract with Epic Records that the show offers its winner is a big draw, though it's important to point out that X Factor USA is not just for singers, but performers in general, open to individuals, groups, and the young and old alike. With a second season set to premiere in the United States in the middle of September, entertainment bettors are lining up ready to lay down money on who they think will be the show's ultimate winner. X Factor USA Judges. The second season of X Factor will feature two new judges, which means the show will be judged by a rather eccentric group, including media mogul Simon Cowell, platinum recording artist Britney Spears, and musical icons Demi Lovato and L.A. Reid. Paula Abdul famously left the show after further disagreements with Simon Cowell, who she clashed with before on the set of American Idol. X Factor in America has two past winnesr: In the first season year, Melanie Amaro wowed the judges with her vocal talents and signed a record deal worth millions of dollars with Epic Records. Though she has yet to release her first record, Amaro did win the Teen Choice Award for best female reality star, and the release of her album is heavily anticipated. The deal she signed with Epic was worth millions in and of itself, but the terms of the deal allowed her to sign another contract with a smaller company, Syco Music, so she was able to turn her X Factor USA win into a multiple contract recording career. Tate Stevens was the second winner of the X Factor, winning Season 2 on December 20th, 2012. He secured a $5 million deal with Syco Music and RCA Records Nashville. Stevens is a country talent with a fantastic voice. His debut single titled "Holler If You're With Me" has gone on to be one of the most popular songs in 2013, including on a Pepsi commercial airing during the Grammys. Season 1: Melanie Amaro Season 2: Tate Stevens Season 3: Alex & Sierra.
X FACTOR ODDS: A COMPLETE GUIDE. Having made megastars of some of its contestants and a few of its judges, X Factor has been a fixture on our TV screens every autumn since 2004. As time has passed, the show has become a crossover success, with X Factor betting becoming hugely popular as bookmakers and bettors alike realise just how well this form of TV show lends itself to wagering. Of course, the X Factor odds on a winner are the most popular market, but there are some interesting secondary markets that also provoke intrigue. In a field with four judge-mentors each assisting four acts, a field of sixteen hopefuls also ensures X Factor odds for elimination are are part and parcel of the overall betting experience on the show. The series starts in September of each year, ending in mid-December. The winner is usually expected to have a Christmas Number One single. The four judges are major figures from the UK music scene. Not sure where to bet? Get the best odds on X Factor with these top operators! As we’ve noted, the most important market, and the one with the most betting action when betting on TV shows, is on betting for the show’s eventual winner. Each week, there is also plenty chance to bet on X Factor next elimination odds. In addition, there are less popular, but nevertheless interesting markets, include the winning “mentor”, which refers to the judge who has guided one of their acts to the win, as well as those focuses on the act that achieves the best result within certain categories: “Best Group”, “Best Girl”, “Best Boy” and “Best Over” (as in over the age of 25) are the usual options. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN BETTING FOR AN X FACTOR WINNER. Since the first series of the show, the bookies’ favourite to win X Factor has been in for a sour disappointment; the ‘favourite’ tag does not always mean the win is in the bag. If you’re the type of bettor who likes to punt on the underdogs, then X Factor final betting could be very beneficial, as the against-the-odds successes of Steve Brookstein, Ben Haenow, and Matt Terry have shown over the years. Additionally, it’s unwise to bet on an obvious “joke” act to be eliminated early on, even if that should be exactly what happens if the show were judged on musical talent alone. Acts such as Diva Fever, Same Difference, and Johnny Robinson have often stayed on long after the judges felt they had outstayed their welcomes, thanks to a mischievous public vote. Not a fan of singing competitions? There’s always the opportunity for Betting for next James Bond or Betting on Game of Thrones! It goes without saying that you can make more informed bets on the winner, and have the best chance of assessing X Factor odds on next elimination, by watching the show on a weekly basis. For example, in 2009 it was obvious that bookies’ favourite Joe McElderry had a great chance to win if you tuned in each week – every judge praised his performances to the skies, in some cases even ahead of acts they were mentoring. Furthermore, watching the show can help you understand the dynamic between singers and mentors, which can affect other markets too. Judge-mentors can vote to get rid of their rivals’ acts Public votes choose two acts to “sing-off” to stay in The sing-off can show which acts the public dislikes. When setting their odds for X Factor betting UK bookmakers need to consider a range of different factors (pun not intended). There’s the media reaction to contestants, performances on the live shows, and the results of the previous week’s show, just for starters. The betting sites have to consider all of these issues, and sometimes the evidence from different sources can be contradictory – a performer with a standout showing can still end up in the sing-off, for example. So the X Factor odds on winner and other markets are always a compromise, a best guess rather than a truly evaluated and statistics-driven decision. This can create opportunities for bettors, as the following points indicate: DON’T BET ON A GROUP. For one reason or another, over more than a decade of the show’s run, groups have found it incredibly difficult to win the show. They may win the judges’ hearts, and often take a lot of the media attention, but just once has a group won – Little Mix, in 2011. JLS finished second, behind Alexandra Burke who they went on to outperform when it came to actually selling singles and albums. One Direction, who have (somehow) gone on to become global megastars, finished third in a series won by the massively famous and celebrated… er… Matt Cardle. So, if you’re going to put money on a group to do anything, consider X Factor odds to be eliminated, rather than to win. NOT ALL PUBLICITY IS GOOD PUBLICITY. Perhaps Misha B was never going to win – she ended up performing in the same year as Little Mix, who were the year’s standout act by a mile. However, her voice and stage presence marked her out as a potential star. However, she lost huge amounts of public support when the media ran with accusations of her bullying other performers, and from that point on, bettors were only going to get a return if they backed her on X Factor odds for elimination. The scandal blew over with no evidence ever being presented, but Misha was eliminated a week before the final nonetheless. JUDGE THE SHELF-LIFE OF A “JOKE” CONTESTANT. Wagner. Jedward. Honey G. The list goes on – most years the X Factor winner betting odds on one of the show’s infamous “novelty” contestants will start to narrow around the midpoint of the competition, as the public starts to wonder if their idiosyncratic performances will fire them all the way to the final. Aside from Steve Brookstein, however, none of these shambolic artists ever actually wins (ouch, but fair, we reckon). In fact, they tend not to make the final as they usually go out a few shows from the end, but the bookies have to take them seriously as long as they stay in. As a result, getting on these acts in the X Factor odds to leave around week seven or eight could be a decent strategy. Thanks to the show having to pass muster on the drama front as well as the musical front, there is an incentive for the production team to meddle with the show’s format in order to keep things interesting. As a result, even the X Factor favourites in 2018 and other years can never be sure of their position – in 2011, Amelia Lily was eliminated in week one, and then returned to the show to finish third. Nothing is guaranteed. The eventual winner is not always (and perhaps rarely) actually the best performer, and given that Joe McElderry beat out Olly Murs, they’re not even guaranteed to be the commercial success of their year’s show. Don’t back away from a bet because it goes against the perceived wisdom, because this whole show regularly goes against so-called prevailing trends. HAVE FUN! Perhaps more importantly than any of the other tips, it’s essential to remember that there is a certain element of chaos to the way X Factor goes. It’s true that male solo singers seem to do unaccountably well with the voters, and that can be of use in X Factor final betting – Ben Haenow beating Fleur East was a shock neither the bookies nor the public saw coming.
