Futures bets
Futures bets in sports betting are a great way to bet on the future of a sports game. Typically, people place these bets before a season starts, although they can also be made during the season. Depending on the game, a successful futures bet can be extremely lucrative. For example, if you bet $100 on the Philadelphia Eagles to win the Super Bowl, you’ll get $1,000 back if they win the game.
Futures bets are similar to prop bets, but they have extra juice. Because of this juice, futures bets have a lower implied chance of success than straight wagers, but their potential payout is often very large. Futures odds are typically listed in list form and list the best and worst chances of winning. For example, you can place a futures bet on Tiger Woods to win the 2019 Masters, which has long odds.
Cover bets
Cover bets in sports betting are bets that provide an opportunity to get your money back if a favorite or underdog loses. Cover bets are often slightly lower than the original wager and allow a gambler to reduce his or her liability if the underdog or favorite loses. In football, for example, you can bet on a particular team to win but cover it with a lower bet of four or five dollars. By doing this, you get to cover your losses and reduce the bookies’ liability if the horse or team loses.
Cover bets are a popular type of bet in sports betting. They are a great way to chase high odds and are one of the most traditional and popular bets in the sport. In addition to straight bets, a cover bet allows a gambler to use his entire stake on a single bet and win a minimum amount. In addition to placing a bet, a player can also place bets on halftime and full-time selections and correct scores.
Dime bets
If you are a sports betting novice, you might be confused by the term “dime.” The word “dime” is used to refer to a wager of $1,000 or more. Similarly, a “nickel bet” is a bet of $500, and a “buck” bet is a wager of $100. While dime bets are generally small amounts, you should make sure to know your bankroll limit before placing them.
When you’re betting on baseball, the line on the game can include +1 1/2 or -1 1/2. This means that the underdog has been spotted with 1.5 runs to win the game. In other words, it’s possible to make a lot of money betting on the underdog.
