How to Place a Sports Bet

Within different sports there are different ways to place wagers. For example, Hockey is different than Baseball and European sports are different from North American sports. With that in mind, we’ve created a basic outline for betting on all sports types:

First, choose the sport you wish to bet on. Next, click on the pull-down menu that says “Select A Bet Type” and choose which kind of bet you want to place. Then select your wager amount and enter it into the wager box beside the pull-down menu. Now scroll through the available games and choose the team or teams you wish to wager on. Select your team by clicking on the small box beside the line or the line itself. If you are making a combination bet, known as a parlay or teaser bet, you must choose as many teams as necessary to complete the multiple team bet. The type of bet you choose determines the number of teams necessary.

When you are sure of your selection, go to the top and click the “Place Bet” button. Your wager has now been placed on the right side of the screen. This is your sports betting ticket. If you try to place a bet and a red bar comes up on your betting ticket you have made a mistake in selecting your bet. The red bar will contain a message to inform you of the error and give you appropriate instructions on how to correct the mistake.

You will need to reload or refresh your page before submitting your betting ticket so you can see the most current lines. The lines change often and quickly, so make sure the lines are where you want them before submitting your betting ticket. If one or more of the wagers on your betting ticket are not what you want, just click the “Cancel” or “Cancel All” button and the wagers will be dropped from your betting ticket. Once you are completely satisfied with the wager you have made, go to the bottom of the betting ticket and selects the confirmation box and then click on the “Submit” button. Your wager has now been submitted. A confirmation notice will appear and you can view your wagers in the “Pending Wagers” section.
