Bet Types

Teaser

A type of parlay where the bettor can adjust the point spread or totals in their favor for each selection, but at reduced odds. Common in American football and basketball. For example, a 6-point teaser on a -7.5 spread changes it to -1.5. All legs must still win for the teaser to pay out.

Moneyline (ML)
A straightforward bet on which team or player will win a match or event. There is no point spread involved. In a two-way moneyline (e.g., tennis), you pick the winner. In a three-way moneyline (e.g., football/soccer), you can also bet on a draw. Moneyline bets are the simplest form of sports betting.
Each Way (E/W)
A bet consisting of two equal parts: one on the selection to win and one on the selection to place (finish in the top positions). Common in horse racing and golf. If your selection wins, both parts pay out. If it places but does not win, only the place part pays at a fraction of the win odds (typically 1/4 or 1/5).
Same Game Parlay (SGP)
A parlay where all selections come from the same match or event. For example, combining Team A to win, Over 2.5 goals, and a specific player to score in one football match. SGPs have become extremely popular with recreational bettors but often carry very high margins for the bookmaker.
Asian Handicap (AH)
A handicap betting system originating in Asia that eliminates the draw as a possible outcome by using quarter-goal and half-goal lines. For example, a -0.75 Asian Handicap splits your stake between -0.5 and -1.0 lines. This system offers more precise handicapping and often lower margins than European handicaps.
Both Teams to Score (BTTS)
A popular football (soccer) bet where you wager on whether both teams will score at least one goal during the match. You can bet 'Yes' (both teams score) or 'No' (at least one team fails to score). Only regular time counts; extra time and penalties are excluded.
Futures
A bet placed on the outcome of an event in the future, such as which team will win a league championship or who will win the MVP award. Futures bets are typically available well in advance and odds change as the season progresses. They tie up your bankroll but can offer significant value early in a season.
