Topic: Betting Types Newbies Should know About - page 4. (Read 634 times)

Not that newbies should try all that and find what suits them. It's not a usual strategy but rather a betting option.

Honestly, no need to engage in all those betting types and it's not necessary to know them all. If one feels like always sticking with Moneyline for example, then it is just fine to keep it that way in the long run. It doesn't that by knowing all of them, you can utilize your winnings. Games are unpredictable and "approaches are different depending on the sport".


I can't imagine who will put a bet on something they don't understand.

Betting on handicaps, total points, etc., and have no idea about that?

Maybe they just got those bets by a tip.

In basketball betting, point spread can also be considered as a handicap.

Dominant teams obviously will receive the minus (-) handicap and the underdog on the other hand will have a plus(+).

Pre-game odds on handicaps might not give bettors juicy odds that's why at some point, it's good to hunt good odds on live betting.

The OP has done well with this. I have enjoyed engaging in all these betting types.
And I can say that my most favourite is in-play bet. My reason is that the bettor gets to monitor the bet live and you see it while in action.
This makes it easier and simpler to forecast a bet because it is a live bet.

I have been gambling for years, but to be honest, I haven't tried all those betting types yet. Who would have thought that gambling isn't just about betting and choosing? It's a broad thing and there are plenty of strategies that we could apply. I've been doing parlay for a long time and am comfortable applying it. There are still other betting types that I would love to try in the future. I guess there are really lots of things that we could still discover in gambling.

Of all types of gambling whether it's slots, dice, roulette, baccarat, or whatever it is, I've always preferred sports betting. and as you wrote in your long list, i can bet on either option depending on the situation. even, i can change the asian style betting option or european option betting with 1X2, also, i choose the option to bet corner kick betting.

Yes, basically it all depends on the situation and my mood when I want to place a bet. even so, almost all of the betting options in this soccer. I prefer to bet on single bets, only choosing one match from all available match schedules. or maybe I could bet on some of the big leagues. and choose to bet on just one or two teams. not to forget, I also always bet on the Parlay option.

yes, as we agreed, Parlay is much riskier than betting on each game one by one. however, if you only choose 3 matches from all available leagues. you will have a high enough probability to win from your fight slip. what many gamblers need to remember who likes the Parlay option is that the fewer matches we choose, the greater the chances we will win.

It is always good for a newbie gambler to try all this types of bettings so as to know the one that will be suit themselves and choose the best plan and strategies to use, this will help him understand the pattern the best and how to easily play through in that particular kind of betting, and it is always advisable as well to learn this betting types very well before using a large amount of money to gamble them since you're just a newbie by then on a learning ground, this are common mistakes that could be avoided in other to make betting in gambling enjoyable for beginners.

I saw this kind of betting more during the world cup. I had no idea it was called preposition betting, thank you for teaching me. I think this kind of betting can be more engaging and more likely to lure people to bet by thinking it is just a matter of answering simple questions that could be gotten based on past statistics and analysis of some players, that is the key players that the preposition bet is centered around. You can still loose.

OK noted. I'm not actually familiar with western bookies.

Odd Even (OE) type of bet.

What if you add the Odd Even (OE) type of bet, this type of bet can be said to be relatively new in the world of gambling, especially football, but it is very fun if you have ever made Odd Even (OE) bets.
The way is easy: just like betting in general, guess the score based on the final match statistics that have been determined in even and odd forms.
For example: Liverpool vs Real Madrid, if the final result is 2-2 then those who have the right to win and get a prize are those who have an even number (4) and if the final result is 2-0 the winners are those who have an odd number (odd), In Odd Even bets you don't need to guess the score for the club, you just have to guess even and odd, if the football ends 2-0 those who place the odd bet take the money, and vice versa.

And while we're at handicaps (while not necessarily being one, as this is considered as a part of spread betting), newbie bettors might encounter a thing called Asian handicap on football games. While traditional lines on football contains a draw option to bet on, in Asian handicap it eliminates this possibility which somehow forces a winner in an event—even if the score ends up being the same—as there are only two options to bet on. The favorites to win are usually given a point deficit (depending on their form) in order for the underdogs to be on an 'even' level in terms of bet.


This one I have tried on huge tournaments but always failed to win anything at Even though I know how well these players perform, I always end up missing my bets and destroying my picks, that's why I mostly stick to parlays as this is more straightforward and is foolproof (at least for me) because you are not adding a lot of elements in your bet and you're just straight up going for outcomes. For newbies, this is more recommended if they are confident on their predictions in multiple events - brings more juice to their odds and brings more value to their bet.


I have seen parlays with thousands of $$$ put into them in my stay at Nitrogensports a few years back, mostly on NBA conference finals. Most memorable one perhaps is a hit with x57 with $2500 stake on it. Kinda forgot who it was but it was the Eastern Conference finals parlayed with some Dota games back in 2018. It kinda inspired me to parlay each bet but meh, I'm just not that good in predicting multiple outcomes at the same time.

This is also my favourite bet because it gives gamblers the opportunity to use small money to hit it big,like the rules of gambling, only gamble with money that is not for a special need,sometimes you can bet on a long slip and if you are lucky all your bet turns out to be the result of the games, man you have won it big,this is when sometimes the last game can cut your slip when you refuse the cash out offer.

I also like goal prediction type...that one is easy you just predict only the scores,how many goals both team will score in the first half,or just one of the team.

That's the "points spread" and it was mentioned by OP. Handicap as they call it in different areas. I call it the same way before, until I learned more from the members here in the forum.
And yes, the more you gamble in sports the more you will learn about other types of bets and that includes combinations.
Example: The winning team + the total score of both teams. Sometimes it does work when you know the history of both teams if they are offensive or defensive ones.

Yeah, the OP should consider to add other betting types that has been shared by other members here, it should be updated. To be honest, this is new to me as I'm still consider a newbie when it comes to sports betting and I think it will be different depending on what type of sports you're betting, am I right?

My general favourite betting for sports is over/under bets. Those are like somewhat 50/50 bets. Instead of guessing very adventurous results you just check football teams and how they play and you can easily guess which teams can score goals easily, or concede. Its really not that hard to guess which goals will be scored if you are familiar with teams in my opinion. I mainly talk about football matches here tho I believe same strategy can easily be applied to basketball teams or players. Its what I suggest to beginners.

Handicap
This allows bettors to favor a team with some points. Eg when you give a team handicap point, it means the team is ahead already and if for example the game ends draw, your tickets boom. A lot of options to be explained but some have been highlighted in the previous comments already. One thing with betting is that the more you're into it, the more you can get to understand some options. Always gamble responsibly.

You are correct that there are many variations of betting types, and each sport may have its own unique options. It is important for new bettors to familiarize themselves with the different types of bets and the conditions that must be met for a bet to be successful. It is also important to understand the odds and the potential payouts for each type of bet, as well as the risks and rewards involved.

I think this thread needs to be added with more information, because it is also important for beginners to know about the types of bets available on many sports betting sites, I also have some who don't know the types of bets but I sometimes study them myself on the site, usually I will find out after betting 

Not just the half. It could be the total of one team only. In NBA if one team let's say LA Lakers can reach 120 points in total for their team only. There's also a betting line for that.
The other bets when it comes to points are the consecutive points they can make, mostly the minimum is 9 points in basketball which is difficult.
You will need a 10-0 run to win this.

There's a new method called "betbuilder". Same game parlay as basically called. Because that was not existent before.
But this kind of parlay are mostly used for player props, you can make a parlay of different player stats in one game which could enormously be profitable if you know what you are doing.
Like this for an example:

Same game but different stats for each player.

Cool topic you got here mate. All I know was single and multi(parlay) bet terms since I’m typically betting on game winner or match handicap pick. I‘m only become familiar props betting this world cup because this is my first time to check that category since most of the Duelbits sportsbook promotion is on that category aside from both team to score.

The point spread is what I don’t understand before and I’m too lazy to do the search since I’m not interested on other complicated bet type. I believe there’s still a lot of bet type missing base on what I’m seeing on Duelbits sportsbook that I still don't know there. Keep the list updated mate.

There's so many variation betting types that doesn't explained by you and each of sport has their own unique betting types. I think the better is they need to try it yourself and familiar with the sport, I still find there's a newbie who place their bet because there's so called professional gambler who bet on that's betting option. This is really bad since they're not familiar and not know what's the condition of the bet to win.
