Starting Your Journey – The First Step!

When you just step into the world of sports betting, there’s usually one thing on your mind: winning. Who doesn’t like to win some extra bucks! The real question is, is it that easy?

Remember, sports betting is not just about betting your money behind an outcome and winning more if that outcome is true. It’s an art – a skill that can help you multiply your money while enjoying your day.

Some people think it’s all luck, but what if it wasn’t?

Many believe sports betting is simple gambling: I think a team will win, I bet on that team, I win or lose. However, they fail to realize that sports betting is much more complex than that. Before you dig deeper into how you can actually learn more about the art of sports betting, it’s important to understand a few popular forms of sports betting.

While sports gambling is very versatile, there are three main types of bets:

Moneyline

Spread

Parlay

Moneyline bets are placed in favor of a team you believe is going to win.

Spread bets are placed when you believe a team is going to win (or lose) by a specific number of points.

Parlay bets are the term for when you combine several outcomes into a single bet. 

While there may be multiple ways to bet, all sports bets have Odds, the measure of how much you can win vs. how much you bet, per $100.

What are Odds, and how can I use them?

By understanding Odds, it allows bettors to make informed decisions, which lead to more winning wagers.

If the Odds are -120, that means a $120 wager has a $100 potential profit. When betting, it is important to pay attention to this statistic, as placing a bet with -110 Odds is less likely to be successful than a bet with +120 Odds.

If you want profitable wagers, making sure you have positive Odds is the first step.
