Sports betting is a booming industry that has gained an incredible amount of popularity throughout the world. A majority of sports fans worldwide use sports betting to bring a new sense of energy and excitement to sports. With the recent rise in online gambling platforms, it has become extremely easy for anyone to place bets on games, players, and all events. From all of the common sports like football and basketball to UFC and horse racing, there are many different options for people who are looking to test their luck in sports betting. When it comes to placing bets, there are many factors that come into play. In this blog post I will go through all of the different websites that are designed for sports betting and all of the different types of bets you can make.

First I will start off by listing some of the most notable apps to gamble online:

• FanDuel
• Bet365
• BetMGM
• DraftKings
• ESPN Bet
• Underdog
• Bovada
• BETR
• Prize Picks
• Betway

Each of these platforms offers a unique experience and many of their own features that bring in different styles of sports betting. FanDuel and DraftKings are two sites that provide daily fantasy sports which provide fans with an interactive and engaging gambling experience. Bet365, BetMGM, and Betway arrange their sites to extensively cover sports, odds, and be appealing to gamblers who value variety and reliability. ESPN Bet is one of the newest sites added to the gambling world. They use their sports media strengths to provide insights into each bet that can be placed. Underdog and Prize Picks are used by those looking to place player prop bets. Bovada has a longstanding reputation in the sports betting world and BETR is powered by blockchain technology. Both of these companies put a major emphasis on account security. Even though all of these gambling sites have differences that make them stand out from one another, they all share the goal of providing entertainment for sports fans around the world.

Next I will dive into the different types of bets gamblers can make:

• Moneyline Bet: The simplest, most basic type of betting where you bet on which team/individual is going to win a match.
• Point Spread Bet: When you bet for one of the teams to win or lose by a certain amount of points. When you bet on a team that is projected to win to cover the spread they must win by at least that amount of points. When you bet on a team that is projected to lose to cover the spread they can still lose the game, but have to lose by only a certain amount of points.
• Totals (Over/Under) Bet: In totals betting, you bet on if the total combined score of both teams will be over or under a certain amount of points that is set by the sportsbook.
• Parlay Bet: In a parlay bet you combine multiple individual bets of any kind into one single bet. All parts of the bet must be correct for you to win money and the amount of legs in the bet helps increase your payout.
• Teaser Bet: A teaser bet is the same as a parlay, yet you can adjust the spread or total in your favor. Adjusting the bet will lower the potential payout.
• Prop Bet: Prop bets focus on specific parts in a game that do not affect the final outcome. Types of prop bets are how many yards a quarterback throws for or how many points someone scores in basketball.
• Future Bet: Future betting is predicting winners of championships, leagues, or certain awards like MVP. The odds for these are usually higher, but they take longer because future bets are taken weeks, sometimes months in advance.
• Live Bet: These bets are made in-game, allowing you to place bets on live odds that change as the game goes on.

Sports betting provides a new form of entertainment for fans with a new level of excitement and thrill. No matter your experience level with sports or sports gambling, being able to understand the different ways of betting and how to bet is essential to creating a rewarding experience. It is always necessary to remember responsible gambling is the best way to gamble. Being smart with your bets keeps you within your means and allows you to not gamble money you don’t have.
