At first, I thought sports betting was all just betting on which team the punter thinks will win the match. To my slight surprise, sports betting is a lot broader than just that, especially when odds and point spreads and lines now get in the way.

These are some common options in Sport betting but there are others not as common as these but they exist too.There is the Asian Handicap which created by people in Asia in order to make winning on betting easier even for beginners.Basically you pick the underdog here and you start the game with 1,2 or more imaginary goals in their favour.

There are a lot of them. For example in soccer bet, there is the double chance of which it means either the particular team wins or at most gets a draw. It is just a safe way to bet but its odd is very small unlike straight bet.

Is straight bet the same thing as direct win you mean?
Like betting a particular team to win directly above the other team? If that is what you mean, I hardly bet directly because a team predicted to have a sure win do disappoint at times so I rather look for other options.

Well this is new to me and it really good and fun since one can win even if the team you are betting belongs to the underdog team. However, there are other betting platforms that uses a pool of bets meaning a pool of bets is the money that raises between the two teams and given a percentage on how much one can get if one wins in the betting. So this could be mean that there could be a team that will going to have a huge pool of bet compared to the team usually being an underdog team that has lower pool of bets. So the team with huge bets if it will win there could be only a little amount of rewards to be divided due to the small amount of the losing betters the underdog team. However, if the underdog team wins then the pool of bet from the strong teams will be divided among the winming betters and probably it will be huge.

Betting on the favourite team is the most common sport betting as far as I know and different people comes with different games which may contain many players or head to head like games but it is not much important as long as enjoying what we are doing.

When I bet on football I either bet on the winner of the match or the winner with a handicap of one goal. And odds needs to be 1.5 or above before I want to bet anything. I prefer to bet on outcomes with odds around 1.50 to 2.3

The one you are talking about is Moneyline.

A team that is considered as a sure win here always have a low odds. Therefore, even how you favorite that team is, it might not worth a bet. In here, gamblers have an option of putting it in a parlay instead so that they can take advantage of the low odds while at the same time, they still make a bet on their favorite team although all bets must be settled to win.

We may enjoy on what we do but if we gamble we might have to be witty for us to get the maximum winnings possible.

We have to study the sports betting types to make use of it on our advantage. In gambling, we lose some we win some but we have to win the maximum if we would win.

Casual thing to be done when you are doing parlays.Most gambler will probably choose in line with those favorites but i would say that this isnt effective

all the time.Winning up some few games until the last game will mess up or spoil your expectations.

This is something newbies in sports betting needs to understand first before they place a bet or else they might end up scratching their head asking why they lost when they picked the winning team. I remember placing a bet in Golden State Warriors when they faced Houston Rockets and  Golden State Warriors won the game however, I still lost the bet because I placed my bet on a -10.5 game, meaning, you will win if the score is still ahead of the rival team when 10.5 points is deducted. I think it's called Point Spread and Handicap Betting.

Straight bet is different than direct win or money line because you are betting on a team to win the game by covering the point spread. This type of bets exist in almost any sports because all of them use a scoring system based on points or goals to determine the winner.

In Game betting is very popular with sports betting especially since there are so many sports being played at all hours of the day
Also be called 'live betting' but this is popular for gamblers that dont mind paying more juice because with live betting the juice is almost always higher.

Good to see these terms. I am familiar with some of them but I was not exactly sure what it's called. If these are the common types, I wonder what the uncommon types are called?

Sport bet is all common because you don’t need to do something but bet only when you see possibility to win. In sports betting you can also recover a game if you change your team following alternatives by having another secret part in the same game. You can increase your bets from that part and hence you will win through your secret alternative competent. Common sports betting involves in cricket football.

That's straight betting. Here's the explanation with an example coming from the MOST COMMON TYPES OF SPORTS BETS (https://www.bitcoinsportsbetting.co.uk/news/most-common-types-of-sports-bets/)

Maybe you can add live betting, that's also common now as games that we are betting are aired live in TV, it's an exciting kind of betting as you can see the way they play and you can analyze well. I usually have my pregame bet on a certain match up, but watching it playing live gives me a little advantage on decision making.

It can be the same as direct win because on sports like basketball and hockey there's markets with no draw and if the odds are very even the point spread or handicaps will be set at -0.5. To explain things easier, the direct win or mostly known as moneyline is one of the many types of straight bet and sometimes they're called single bets.

Live betting is no different than prematch betting expect the fact that you probably have different betting options and also different odds. But still when live betting you will find pretty much the same bets on money line, handicap, goals, scores, corners and others of this type.

Actually watching live betting sites will help you gain more strategy eventually, and that's the best way of getting knowledge. There's a lot of resources, but looking on the actual scenario of the betting games will provide the best tools for your to develop self confidence in betting on gambling sites. To recommend for those common sports betting, basketball and tennis is much fun and enjoyable; because the scenario in the game was usually aired online so you'll see quicker feedback on their standings.

I am never thought about the sports betting types since I don't know how to place the bets.
But I always use my friend hand to choose the teams, but I never ask him about each type of sports betting.
I let him do whatever he thinks it could have the chance to win because I believe him and he really has the skills in predicting at the sports betting.
But that is open my eyes that in the sports betting, there are many types that I don't know and maybe I will ask my friend about that.

Last year only I started betting in some gambling sites like Sportsbet, Nitrogen and etc but I do not know we have this much types in betting alone. This is really useful for the gamblers whoever recently started betting games.

I will be looking to invest on football matches and recently get involved in cricket too because of world cup tournament ongoing on.

This would surely inform newbies about the use and the names of different types of sports bets, But commonly known to everyone here are just straight bets and I really think we can surely all relate to it, Well a betting line will be set which is refer to point spread sometimes they will sure bet on the most popular or sometimes the underdog, Well I commonly want this kind of sports betting type of thing because of its simplicity,

And one sport bet types that I know is Teaser bets that is a twist of a parlay in that you are still grouping two or more picks together in a single bet, but you can now tweak the point spreads in your favor in return for a lower overall payout.

Asian Handicap is the first type of sports bet that I know because this is the type of bet that is often used by people around me. I just found out another type of bet when I started betting online. Yes, Asian handicap can also be considered as common type of sports bet as well.

There is a big difference as in live betting you are like day trading, market changes and you can take advantage on it as you are watching the game and looking at the market. Based on personal experience, I can find good value in live betting and my experience is good in live betting as I can win most of the time. You don't need to be every live games, just watch it, and find the value then pound it, that's the opportunity to win, you can't miss when you are watching it.

Now lots of gamblers are in action due to the cricket world cup 2019 they are expecting to clinch the games from opponents or competitors. They are using many strategies by the involvement of own private party in the same game. Whenever the losing chances are near to confirm in the game then the gambler increase huge bets from its own private or secret part and hence they minimize lose.

Live betting also gives the best excitement on the playing online. I also want to bet on the best sports that we have, and every gambling site for sure they have that kind of sports. I bet all in sometimes and the result is very high since its high risk, but of course I still lose money most of the time.

Live betting for several times for football match but the results was unexpected me and my common habit during sport bets is money line bet and if the odds too low then usually i was combine all of the match to parlay bet but actually i'm not fans from all of it and my sport bets habit sometimes change depend on the particular events

The most common sports bet is when winning whenever the team is win and vice versa. All different types would be on the player's descretion. Sure there are a lot of sports betting types and the more complicated the rules, the more exciting it becomes. As long as you support your favorite team then the game would be much fun.

With sports betting, it's always makes me feel comfortable betting on the live games, it's gives some good assessment when you already knows the situations inside the game, you can choose between ML or handicap whenever you see how things is ongoing, its best to play on live especially if you have good insight regarding to those competing players/teams.

Winning proportional betting is my all time choice in sports betting.

Other than tossing, single persons performance other options while you goes for betting and then we need to adjust the betting numbers as per the odds and match's movement.
We need to see the odds and team before you start betting.

Winning is not common on gambling because gambling is harder to win . Whats comon in  gambling is losses but its still possible to win at all times as long as you are a skillful gambler that has alot of strategy  not only on in game strategy but also a stratgey on how to control your self to be able to secure your bankroll .

I am referring to a type of sports betting. The most common ome where if the team wins, the one who bets in it wins also. Its not using any percentage or probabilities like the ones whom he differentiate. I am mot talking about whether a gambler wins or not because i know they always loss.

Thank you for this now I know already if what is some of the common types when it comes to sports bet. Its a big help to know this, because Im curious and want to try gambling sports bet.

Horse race is the most common sport betting type which involves millions and billions for a single match not sure about other sport betting types here.But it is not a good idea to bet where the more money involves,just bet on games what you are better at and which you like to watch and get entertained.

I've preferred to do it also, it is fun to see alive and we know the possibility where it goes either we win or not. And even we lose at least we know the reason why it came into that and we can't think any manipulation happen around. And so I love to put my bets into ball games and also we know each team to make the right bet and chances to win. ;D
