After enough betting, each player develops a hierarchy of which bets are best to make and when. Additionally, that hierarchy is prone to be fallacious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, if you get lucky with a certain kind of bet, that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll continue to be fortunate. This article will prime you on the different kinds of bets, but figuring out when to make which bet comes with experience. With that said, here are some common sports bets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Money-line&nbsp;Bets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>money-line&nbsp;bets are the simplest kind of sports bets. It involves betting on who will win a particular sporting event. Your payout depends on the odds of a particular team or player winning the said event. The odds are determined by various things, such as past performance, expectations, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The odds are typically presented as three-digit numbers with positive or negative signs next to them (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/articles\/investing\/042115\/betting-basics-fractional-decimal-american-moneyline-odds.asp\"><u>American odds<\/u><\/a>). Positive signs denote underdogs, and negative signs refer to favorites. So, suppose there\u2019s +100. That means if you bet $100 and the team wins, you get $200 back. Alternatively, suppose the odds are -200. That means you need to bet $200 to win $100 (you get $300 back).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betshall.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-5.png\" alt=\"A football on grass\" class=\"wp-image-45\" width=\"434\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.betshall.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-5.png 309w, https:\/\/www.betshall.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-5-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 434px) 100vw, 434px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spread Bets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spread bets add an additional condition to money-line&nbsp;bets. Rather than simply winning, spread bets pay out if a team wins by a certain number of points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, a -3 bet means that once the match is over, if you subtract three from the team\u2019s score, they should still win. As discussed above, negative and positive signs refer to favorites and underdogs, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Over\/Under Bets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over\/under bets (also known as totals bets), and unlike the previous two bets, they\u2019re not bets placed on the outcome of a game. Instead, over\/under bets are placed on the total of the game\u2019s final score. To win an over bet, the total score needs to be over the bookmaker\u2019s prediction, and vice-versa for under bets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re just starting out, try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.picks.org\/sports-betting-tips\/fading-the-public\"><u>fading the public<\/u><\/a>. This is a technique wherein you bet against the public by betting over earlier in the weeks and under later. Most people bet over, so bookmakers will typically make under bets more attractive later in the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just getting into the online sports betting world?
