Question 1

Can you bet on the Super Bowl?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Where legal, Super Bowl odds are some of the most popular wagers in the world, if not the most popular.While you can make the usual point spread and over/under bets, the Super Bowl is known for the array of proposition bets that are possible. Those have become even more popular at online sportsbooks since PASPA was overturned in 2018. Online sportsbooks like DraftKings and FanDuel have tons of prop bets available whether you want to bet on a point spread or total for a given quarter or half, or go deep and project how many yards a quarterback throws for or how many touchdowns the running back will get. Going further, those sportsbooks also have extreme props that don't relate to the game such as the over/under time for the National Anthem and the color of the post-game Gatorade poured on the winning coach.As sports betting legalizes across the country, more and more sites will come up with extravagant props for the Super Bowl because it's the most popular single event. But while that happens, Las Vegas will remain the hub for sports betting because of the endless amount of options.

Question 2

What is a hedge in sports betting?

Accepted Answer

A hedge is a method to reduce risk and secure winnings for a specified bet. It means betting the opposite side of your original wager in order to either try to middle the game, or to reduce the downside exposure of the original wager.The most popular instance of hedging is for a futures bet. For example, you bet the San Francisco 49ers at +2500 to win the Super Bowl ahead of the season and they eventually make it. Instead of riding out the +2500 and hoping the 49ers win, you could hedge that bet and take the opposing team, the Kansas City Chiefs, to win on the moneyline. While you'll get more money if you ride out the original bet, there's also more of a chance you'll come out with nothing. If you hedge and bet the Chiefs, you'll win something no matter the result of the game. Below is a breakdown of payouts in a possible hedge on Super Bowl odds:Original wager: $100 futures bet on 49ers at +2500 for a $2,600 payout ($2,500 profit)Hedge: $1,000 on Chiefs ML -150 in the Super Bowl for a $1,667 payout ($667 profit)With Hedge49ers win: $2,600 payout - $1,000 bet - $100 bet = $1,500 profitChiefs win: $1,667 payout - $1,000 bet - $100 bet = $567 profitWithout Hedge49ers win: $2,500 profitChiefs win without hedge: down $100As seen with a hedge, the bettor comes out in the positive no matter how the game goes. Without the hedge, the bettor wins a bit more after a 49ers win but also comes out negative if the Chiefs win as a favorite.Should you hedge a bet?Hedging a wager comes down to personal preference. Some people are fine with a positive payout and prefer not to risk everything, which is when a hedge makes sense. As for those who are keen on their original wager and are fine with losing money if the other side wins, there's no reason to hedge.More hedgingHedging can be done with almost any kind of bet. Futures bets may be the most popular instance to hedge, but as sports betting grows, in-play wagering with sports betting apps is also at an all-time high. If a bet isn't looking good halfway through a game, hedging with an in-play bet could be done. In this case, it's important to note all possibilities in a game because if you make the wrong hedge, you may be out two bets if something crazy happens. For example, you bet the Titans -7 to beat the Colts and they open the second quarter down 14-0. Since it's looking like the Colts will win, you decide to hedge the Colts moneyline at -150. Unfortunately, the Colts let up in the second half and the Titans eventually win on a late field goal, meaning both of your bets lose. If you want to hedge in-game, it's usually best to know what you're doing instead of blindly betting the opposite side.Another possible hedge method is in a parlay. Luckily, these are a little more straightforward than an in-game hedge. The easiest example is if your first two bets win in a three-team parlay. If you want to guarantee winnings, you simply hedge by betting the opposite side in the third bet of the parlay. You'll guarantee winnings, though the payout will be smaller.

Question 3

What are some common sport betting slang words / jargon?

Accepted Answer

If you've never bet before, there are likely a lot of words and phrases you've never heard before and even if you have bet before, you may not know the meaning of every saying. Before placing your first wager on a sports betting app or site, take a look at some words you'll hear:Action &ndash; Any wager or having a bet on a game.Bonus &ndash; Funds often acquired through various promotions given by a sportsbook.Book (sportsbook) &ndash; The establishment that accepts wagers (bets) on the outcome of sports events.Chalk &ndash; FavoriteCover &ndash; When the favorite wins by more than the required number of points or when the underdog loses by less than the required number of points (or wins outright).Dog &ndash; UnderdogFutures &ndash; Wagers placed in advance on the outcome of an event. For example, you can bet on Super Bowl odds months before the season begins.Handicapper &ndash; A person who studies and wagers on sporting events.Handle &ndash; Total amount of wagers takenHold &ndash; The percentage amount the sportsbook makes.Hedging &ndash; Betting the opposite team or side of your original wager in order to either try to middle the game, or to reduce the downside exposure of the original wager.Hook &ndash; A half pointJuice &ndash; A commission which is built into the line offerings, also known as "vig" or "vigorish."Laying Points &ndash; To bet the favorite by giving up points.Laying the Price &ndash; To bet the favorite by laying moneyline odds.Limit &ndash; The maximum wager accepted by the sportsbook on a particular line offering.Line &ndash; The current odds or point spread offered on a particular game.Linesmaker (Oddsmaker) &ndash; A person who subjectively establishes the probability of one team defeating another and by how many points. A person who creates the line or point spread.Long shot &ndash; A team that is unlikely to win.Moneyline bet &ndash; A bet on the straight-up winner of a game, underdog or favorite.Off the board &ndash; A game in which the sportsbook is not accepting any wagers.Overlay &ndash; The odds of a particular wagering proposition are higher than they should be. Over/Under (total) bet &ndash; A type of wager that applies to the score/points in a given contest.Parlay &ndash; When you combine straight bets to increase payout. All selections must win for the bet to win.Pick 'em &ndash; Neither team is favored, meaning the game is considered a toss-up for betting purposes.Price &ndash; Line or oddsProp bet &ndash; A wager on a specific event happening or not happening in a game. Eg: Will Player X record a touchdown? Yes +130 / No -150Rollover &ndash; The required amount of real money wagers a player has to accumulate after they have accepted a bonus from a sportsbook in order to qualify for a withdrawal.Round-Robin &ndash; A method of parlaying two or more teams in all possible team parlay combinations. For example, a three-team round robin of ABC can produce three separate two-team parlays: AB, AC and BC. Spread bet &ndash; A bet on the forecasted point differential between two teams. A minus (-) indicates the favorite and a plus (+) is the underdog.Teaser &ndash; When you alter the spreads or totals in a parlay for a better chance of winning your combined bet.

Question 4

What is the vig in sports betting?

Accepted Answer

The vig, or vigorish, is the cut or amount charged by a sportsbook for taking a bet, also known as juice in slang terms. The sportsbook only collects the vig if the bettor loses the wager.For example, a point spread is often listed with -110 odds. If the Eagles are -6.5 point favorites, that would be at -110 odds. If there was no vig, it would be at even odds, or +100. With the vig, a $100 bet would result in a $190 payout. If there was no vig, a $100 bet would result in a $200 payout. This simply means if you want to win $100, you'd have to bet $110 because of the vig and when the bet loses, that $10 goes straight to the sportsbook.Of course, not all sportsbooks are the same and sometimes regular odds are listed at -115 or -120. As more states legalize sports betting, the variety in vigs across states will be a talking point. That's because a lot of in-person sportsbooks take a higher cut of bets than online sportsbooks, who receive more bets because they are more widely accessible. While each state has different rules, there are certain states where sportsbooks have a higher vig across the board, no matter where you wager.There are also situations where -110 odds would push to -120 or higher because that bet is getting a lot of money. If a lot of people are betting the Eagles at -6.5 (public money) and the sportsbook doesn't want to move that number to -7, they'll push the odds to -120 or -130, meaning a $100 bet would result in an even smaller payout.

Question 5

Is sports betting legal in Tennessee?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tennessee sports betting was legalized in 2019 and launched in 2020.Legalized sports betting seemed like a long shot until late 2018 and that eventually led to the governor allowing the current bill to pass in 2019. Since it has no casinos, Tennessee is the only state that has online-only sports betting.If you are ready to start betting, be sure to check out our Tennessee sportsbook promos guide to take advantage of sign-up offers. Lottery officials approved final rules, regulations and processes in April 2020 and there was a glaring number that stood out. Tennessee is capping payouts at 90% with a 10% minimum hold rule, which is higher than the national average of 6.8% following the repeal of PASPA. This hold worsens odds for bettors, which could in turn hurt the state's chances of succeeding with legalizing sports betting. If things don't go to plan, the state can go over the rules and regulations in a year and adjust as needed.Because Tennessee is set to be the first with online-only sports betting, it can't base its system off a different state's framework, which is partly why this has become a process.Daily Fantasy Sports were legalized after passing a bill in 2016, and it includes some of the usual regulations for fantasy sports like deposit limits, identity verification and annual audits. Tennessee also has a bill for office pools, which states the max entry can't be greater than $25 and total prize pools are no greater than $1,000. The state allows horse racing betting, though that can only be done online.

Yes. Colorado legalized in-person and mobile sports betting November 2019 after a bill was signed by the Governor and then approved by voters. The new sports betting law went into effect May 2020 and the amount of operators are growing by the day.Colorado sports betting is allowed at approved casinos, as well as online sportsbooks who already have partnerships and licenses. Given that more than 50 operators have applied for sports betting licenses, more are likely to be approved. Colorado will likely keep handing out licenses until May and beyond, and we'll try to update these lists as much as possible.Colorado has two types of licenses to offer. The first is for brick-and-mortar casinos to offer retail and online sports betting throughout the state. The second is for online-only sportsbooks, though they still have to partner with a land-based casino before offering action.Of note, proposition betting on college games will be restricted. That means you can't bet on specific stats like the number of touchdowns for a quarterback or the amount of points for a basketball player.Daily Fantasy Sports and horse racing betting are also allowed in Colorado.

Question 19

Is sports betting legal in New Jersey?

Accepted Answer

Yes. New Jersey was one of the first states to legalize sports betting and online wagering after the 2018 Supreme Court decision. In fact, New Jersey is one of the main reasons every state has the power to legalize sports betting after they pushed the Supreme Court to rule the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) as unconstitutional.That said, New Jersey has a few restrictions that other legalized states don't. Most notably, you cannot bet on college teams from New Jersey or any college events taking place in New Jersey.Daily Fantasy Sports were formally legalized in 2017 which set up a licensing process for prospective operators and the minimum playing age to 18 years old.As for the places you can bet, there is a wide range of online sportsbooks, with all of them having at least one connection to a physical book.

Question 22

Can sports betting be a career?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sports betting can be a career if you make it your full-time job and put in the hours.While only a small percentage of sports bettors are profitable in the long run, it's possible to become one of those individuals. First, you need to follow the basics.Set a bankrollStudyShop OddsDon't trust othersGrow Your BankrollIf you can turn a profit after a certain amount of time, the next step is to gradually grow your bankroll with multiple sports betting apps and sites. If you continue to have success betting on sports, it's not going to be a one bet and you're done kind of thing. It's important to abide by the unit rule and limit wagers from one to five units per bet. Just because you really like one matchup doesn't mean you should put all of your money into it. Successful bettors steadily grow their bankrolls and don't fall into the trap of becoming overconfident.It's not easy, but it's possibleWhile you can become a full-time sports bettor, getting "rich" is another story and one that's unlikely to happen no matter how successful you become. To turn a positive, you have to hit more than 52.4% of your bets, though that depends on what kind of odds you're getting.It may be possible to hit more than 60% for a season, but doing that consistently, year-after-year, is another question. No matter how good a bettor is, they will likely hit a cold streak at some point in their lives, which takes a chunk out of their bankroll, which is why it's important to limit your action on every bet.

Question 23

How Do Bonus Bets Work In Sports Betting?

Accepted Answer

Bonus bets in sports betting are often connected to deposits and are also referred to as bonuses.Most bonus bets are only available on a first deposit at that specific sportsbook. For instance, DraftKings used to have a $20 bonus play that has a number of stipulations. First, you have to deposit at least $5 into your account and then you'll get the $20 in bonus play money, which is not redeemable for cash. Almost every sportsbook has some kind of deal to attract new bettors and there are many different methods to draw people in.The idea is that sportsbooks will get new people to sign up for accounts and deposit money with sports betting apps and sites, and if they win a few bets, maybe continue wagering at that sportsbook instead of going elsewhere. There are positives and negatives to bonus bets. For starters, if you feel like you're playing with bonus money, you may not be inclined to put much thought into your bets. If that's the case, you may deposit $100 into your account and before you know it, your original $100 is gone as well as the $100 in bonus money. If you know what you're doing and hit a few bets and come out in the positive, then the bonus is worth it, but there's a reason these offers exist. Sportsbooks not only get your information for future spamming opportunities, but they also have numerous stipulations that usually give them the advantage in the end.Sportsbook promos and bonus bets look fun on the surface, but if you play into the hands of the sportsbook, they could turn into a quick negative in your pocket.How to Claim a Bonus OfferThe most common methods to claim bonus offers are by either using a bonus code or having a minimum deposit. In some cases, it could be both of those things. Bonus codes may be emailed to a user after registering for an account or they can be found through numerous online advertisements. As for a minimum deposit, those can range anywhere from $5 to $20 and sometimes more.Bonus BetsBonus bets, as listed above, are the most straightforward bonus. You usually get a set amount of money to bet when you deposit and that money can't be redeemable for cash. For example, if you bet the bonus $5 and lose, that money is gone. If you bet $5 and profit another $5, you'll be up $5 in real money. Bettors that sign up with the WynnBET promo code can get bonus bets as a bankroll-builder for their account.Since you're betting bonus money, it may be worth it to go big like in a multi-team parlay, though some sportsbooks may limit your eventual payout.Second Change BetsSecond chance bets are a tad more complicated because they usually have a lot more rules. In 2020, new customers at FanDuel could get a $500 second chance bet. This means that users could get a 100% refund on their first bet up to $500. Of course, if you want to bet the full $500, you would have to deposit that money into your account to be able to make the bet.Again, there are a few underlying requirements that make getting this money back a tad more difficult. If your $500 bet loses, while you should get another $500 within the next few days, that money is not yet yours. That money is considered bonus bet money and if you want to get it back, you'll have to wager another $500 before you can withdraw any of it. Users can use the BetMGM bonus code to get a second chance bet, with similar "rules" to the aforementioned.Match bet offers are in the same mold as second chance bets with different wording. For the above FanDuel promotion, a match bet offer would be 100% on up to $500. That means you can get back 100% of your money on your first bet up to $500. You can get second chance bets using the Caesars Sportsbook promo code ROTOFULL.Bonus Bet, No DepositThese are usually minimal amounts like $5 or $10 because this method is harder to retain bettors since no deposit is needed. Even if you win this kind of bet, you'll likely have to wager your winnings multiple more times for you to meet requirements and withdraw that money. This offer doesn't often amount to much and is usually for bettors to get a sense of how that specific sportsbook runs and what kind of odds they offer.Deposit Match BonusThese bonuses are usually done through casinos, as that's where they were popularized. Sportsbooks will match a deposit, which often has a minimum requirement at a preset percentage, ranging from 50% to 300%. For example, if you deposit $100, you could get another $100 in bonus money with a 100% deposit match bonus. Again, that bonus money will have to hit a few betting requirements before it can be withdrawn.

Question 24

What do + and - mean in sports betting?

Accepted Answer

The plus (+) and minus (-) with sports betting apps, sites or retail sportsbooks can refer to either the point spread or betting odds.SpreadIn terms of the spread, the " - " always refers to the favorite and the " + " always refers to the underdog. For example, you can bet the Dallas Cowboys as a -7 point favorite to beat the Green Bay Packers or the Packers as a +7 point underdog. If you bet the Cowboys -7 and they win by more than seven points, you win your bet. Similarly, if you bet the Packers +7, as long as they lose by less than seven points or win outright, you win your bet.OddsIt's a similar case for the betting odds, though favorites don't always have a " - ," especially in sports like baseball, hockey or soccer where final results are often decided by one run or one goal. It's especially the case in soccer since matches can end in draws, whereas a winner is declared in almost every other sport because of overtime rules. However, in most cases, the favorite will have a " - " in front of its moneyline odds while the underdog will always have a "+ ." For an example of moneyline betting odds, you can bet the Eagles as a -150 favorite to win or the Giants as a +180 underdog to win. If you bet $100 on the Eagles to win at -150, you would net a payout of $166.70. If you bet on the Giants to win at +180, the payout would be $280 because they are an underdog.For something like soccer, Arsenal could be a +150 favorite against Everton as a +190 underdog, while the draw would be set at +220. In this case, the payout would be decent for every situation mainly because the teams are even and there are three possible results compared to just two for something like football (unless they go scoreless in overtime). In this case where both teams have a " + " in front of their odds, the team with the lower number is the favorite. The lower number also means a lower payout, which is always the case for betting the favorite on the moneyline. A $100 bet on Arsenal +150 would net $250, while a $100 bet on Everton +190 would net $290. Going further, a $100 bet on the draw at +220 would payout $320.
