The Basics of Sports Betting

Sports bet­ting is con­ducted gen­er­ally on all major com­pet­i­tive sports like base­ball, foot­ball, bas­ket­ball, hockey, box­ing, horse rac­ing, to name a few. Sports gam­bling is con­ducted through sports­book, a bet­ting out­let where bets are placed on vari­ety of sport­ing tour­na­ments. With the advent of mod­ern­iza­tion sports­book bet­ting is done online where all trans­ac­tions are man­aged online. To start bet­ting you need to open an online account with any of the bet­ting sites and the same account has to be funded in order to start bet­ting on dif­fer­ent games.

Among the three major types of sports bet­ting, ‘against the spread’ is the most pop­u­lar form of bet­ting after money line and totals.  Spread is a point that is given to the team, which is said to loose, by cer­tain num­ber of points. The bet, which is placed against these spreads, is also referred to as 11–10 bets by many, as at cer­tain sports­books the gam­bler wins 10 dol­lars on plac­ing 11 dol­lars, thus the total win­ning amount is 21 dol­lars. The sports bet­ting odds for point spread are the same only, unless oth­er­wise stated. Point spread is not depen­dant on the win­ner or loser, instead what mat­ters is the points by which a team wins the game or sim­ply that the team cov­ers the spread. More­over, you can also bet on the over/under or totals, wherein you bet on the com­bined total score that the two teams are likely to make. In money line, you bet on a team to win straight up.

With thor­ough under­stand­ing of the basic rules of sports bet­ting and ter­mi­nolo­gies involved in it, you can enhance your chances of win­ning in your bet­ting endeavors.
