INFOGRAPHIC: Most Common Sports Betting Terms Every Beginner Should Know

[Oilacris]

A lot of people are coming to gambling section and reply to betting related threads without having knowledge about some of this terms so I hope everyone of those people will come here and learn what every term means. This way everyone will be able to understand each other.I think this pretty much sums every term a bettor should know, at least the beginners.

You can really see those people who do have knowledge on sports betting and who has not in terms of their replies on a certain betting thread.You will able to spot out which is totally
newbie and doesn't know about sports and for those people who are knowledgeable. Honestly speaking there 1-3 words in infographic which I didn't know but also there are terms that I do know
that it isn't listed above.

Nice information indeed. This is pretty informative to all beginners out here. There were some terminologies I do not understand. Yet, it's well understood now. Thank you.

I'm not a handicapper, not usually, I still do outrights (there's a term for beginners!) like Money Line, but I do take a handicap game every now and then. My "problem" is doing parlays, and not all bookies make it easy for you to parlay handicaps together with outrights.

I believe the definition for "Odds" is also wrong...

One more thing could be to show people the differences in UK and US sports betting terms. I guess you're using American (parlay), it's called accumulators or acca for short in the UK. Odds can also be in various formats. Most common is decimals (American) or fractionals (UK).

Hi, buwaytress! Right, outright should have been included there. As for the meaning of "odds," it has already been changed. Thanks for noticing.

As for the odds format, I believe it can be covered by another topic, perhaps something focused on "advanced sports betting terminologies."

Odds format would be better to be in a basic sports betting terminologies. New gamblers need to know about it more than the advanced users, so the earlier newbies knows the basic terminologies the better they jump into higher step on their sports betting journey.
It would be even better if you compile it into some categories. Lets say put the moneyline, under/over, parlay into "Type of bets" or something similar then put the sharp, highroller, handicapper into a category "Type of bettors" etc.
Just my two cents.

Thanks for these suggestions, Bitinity. We should've thought of this when our content person in charge of this infographic was in the process of outlining the whole thing. Anyways, we'll do better in the next info articles we'll publish.

Now that those beginner terms have been presented, perhaps you are interested in knowing the most common sports betting types. Here's a Bitcointalk discussion on the most common sports bets you can make in online sportsbooks: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5148527.msg51263537#msg51263537

I was much into sports betting than other forms of gambling. I knew very few words mentioned, and I haven't seen those words anywhere while into sports betting. Anyhow I'll note it and look for those words when I go on sports betting next time.

Same here. But as soon as I learned more of about sports betting as I bumped into people who knew better, I became to identify myself as no more a beginner in the sports betting world, at least for me lol.

Might be more useful if the threas wasn't lock, although the thread was meant to be somewhat useful, I think it is necessary to leave it open to have brainstorming and gather some other infos that we might wanna know that we haven't know yet.

P.S. I want to see more of infographics that might help the newbies  that wants to go and make a gamble. This is quite interesting, so I'd better watch for your next work.

Hi, cabalism13. I am glad you appreciate my infographic posts. It seems there are very few readers here who are like you who know how to appreciate posts with value.

As for the locked thread. I don't even know why it was locked. It says the admin locked the topic. Any advice on how I can request that it be unlocked?

[sujonali1819]

The information is really helpful to me. Because I have not lot of experience about gamble. This post is helps me to know some basic things about gamble related. And hope newbies about gamble also helped by this post.

If it was from a long time ago then, I think making a PM to the Mods will be able to help you, but if not and was just locked by for some reason then I suggest to make a new thread and make it better, so the content will be more interesting to read. AFAIK, Some topics are just being locked by default, if those threads are not gaining any discussions or seems to be unrelevant for the board.

Very useful for me, I seldom gamble, I only do it if I have free time so I don’t get a chance to know all those terms, honestly, I don’t know most of the terms mentioned above so it’s good this has been published to help people like me to be familiar with those terms.

Good to hear that, OP really did a great job for the beginners to learn more about sports betting.
You know what, I suggest you explore more in sports gambling so you can all apply that terms you read, I'm playing in nitrogen for my sports gambling also and it's nice to participate in the chat as most of them are sports bettors.

That's only for a "MAYBE"... not to mention noobs are not fond of reading intructions unless it is really needed. INFOGRAPHICS are indeed useful but not all the time, it's just quite amusing to see something new instead of pure letters on a post. Images are somewhat a good language for us all. If many users can read such good Inforgraphics then it is really useful, but if it wasnt getting any attention then it is not.

It is good to keep learning about gambling when you will gamble after learning so it will help you follow all the rules about gambling, there are different kind betting, so choose the one and after it make sure explore all betting sites gather knowledge from them and then you will be able to gamble properly, betting related chat group joining can also help you to learn tips, just don’t lose hope and support your betting team till end.

I'm with you, this is the first time i saw this thread and for me it is very useful since we are interacting to a fellow gambler and we should at least know the term used universally or at least in the forum. If i were to discover this on my own, it would take me at least a year to know all the terms.

[dataispower]

Very cool infographic on betting. At least I learnt the real meaning of Parlay from it.  Keep up the good work, newbies especially will appreciate these collection of terms, all are useful.

[Jjewelle29]

Thank you for sharing this some most common sport for betting, especially for beginners like me its a big help for betting terms.

[mich]

Some real nice guide you have there and the one I will agree with so much is the parlay is not a smart bet to make.
Sure it can be a fun and exciting to have the action of more then just 1 game but in the long term the odds will not be in your favorite
My friends like to make a 10 team parlay and I tell him to donate that money to charity because those odds are so bad its not worth it 

[jake zyrus]

This one is good. Very informative and useful. The way on how you explained every term is simple yet easy to understand. I also like the layout and the design of your infographic. Hoping to see more infographics to help beginners like this.

Thank you for these pieces out up together and I really appreciate, I wish I can also make my own contribution, but unfortunately, I am also not very good in gambling, I am just gradually picking interest in gambling so that I can also participate from time to time on this forum.

Honestly I could get lost sometimes when I see some very bogus languages that people use on this gambling forum and o wish I could participate, but with these little ones here, I think it is more than enough for people like me to start with and also develop more, because I have seen so many that I am yet to see on this list, and I will like to know more on this sport betting,. I will definitely continue to follow this thread to see what other great gamblers (lol) have to contribute also.
