It is quite simple though. You just gamble on a player or a club.
And then give you the amount of what you want to bet and then you just watch quietly and then you know whether you have won or not.

In typical sportsbooks they play against the house, in betting exchanges they play against each others, The odds are provided by odds exchangers and big sportbooks having employees making the odds according to their analysis.

Yes, it is ture. Most most of the reputed sites will have there won experts to come up with attractive odds. If odds are not attractive than many users will not bet so they need to think smart to make profits for the company they work. But it is much better way of gambling than playing on dice game. Sports betting got better chance to win.

I believe there are actually sites that you can wager against other players. I honestly don't know much about it nor have I used them before but they are around. I think its more of a predication site than anything else but if someone wants to bet say the superbowl, you would be betting against a person. I would say most if not all the big bitcoin sites you will be betting against the house.

Say, a betting will take place on a soccer game score. Does people bet against each other or bet against house ? If they can bet against house, then how does house calculate its odds ?

Mostly we are betting against house in most reputed sites. They will show you the odds to choose on each team and if your selection won than you will get that much money back or you will lose. House have there own method to calculate the odds and since they are showing odds to us before we bet so it is up to us to go for it or find another better odds providers.

Most places are against the house, sports betting allows you a lot of different options and varying odds based on your overall bet.  FYI I think just the UK had a ban on bitcoin gambling sites unless they have a license so if you are based outside the UK you will have a lot of options which sportsbook you can use.

Pretty much. But that sums up any kind of betting in fact. Sport betting is just a bit more special because you usually bet more on each bet but make less bet.

But any kind of gambling game works the same way in the end  Tongue

House give u odds. When is about sport betting u have million different bets..who will win, exact score, first corner, max or min goals, yellow or red cards ( how much there will be).... also u can mix different types to make higher odd.
Directbet offer u some nice giveaway for first registration ( u can find thread in giveaway section) u can claim few mbtc and try it.
Also in gambling section u have different leagues (English premier, Germany bundes...) u can check there what people predict and think about some games.
I wish u good luck!

You bet on who is going to win. So you bet which club is going to win. But you can also bet on players.
If you bet on players you can say how much is he going to score, for example.

Basically ,yes you bet against the players who have bet on the opposite odds.Considering a soccer match,the bets will be placed on both the team,one has to win and the other will lose.House will pay for the profits of the winners of course from the money that was placed on the losing team.But again these numbers could be even/odd so house has to pay the winners.Most of the times this is covered by looking at the bigger picture.

As others told for the Bitcoin sites you have to bet against the house , they will be given odds according to the favrite team and you have to bet according to the odd provided by the sites, but in fiat currency exchange site in betfair, you are betting against the players , which team is favrite and how much winning chance is their according to that the site provides you the odds for that match on teams, and according to that they give odds for other option also according to the previous records of the teams on that match.

Different sites have different options, the site in my sig for ex. is where you bet against players but the sites like DirectBet, you bet against the house, they make lines as suggested by oddmakers. Its basically the favorite a team is the lesser the odd it has and they're chosen by their previous records.

The spread (amount a team you pick to win or loose by) is usualy set to $1 million USD per 1/2 point.

So if today you see team x is a 2.5 and you pick them to win you need team x to win by more than 2.5 points. and vise versa if you pick them to loose.

Odds are set by Vegas and other Large services. If a team is -2.5 today but -3 8hrs later it means $1 mil more money was put on that a team to loose by 2.5 than not. The "house moves the line to mitigate to much of a loss.

If you pick straight up winners no spread, then a + number means the team is a underdog and a - is a favorite to win.

Ex: Broncos +213 vs Panters -245

If you bet 100$ on the Broncos and they win you get $213 plus your $100 bet
If you bet with the favorite and in the ex, you would need to bet $245 to win $100 plus your $245 bet

Betcoin and nitrogen sports have the best books in my opinion. More games than any other sportsbook for BTC and you can pick a line 1.5 plus or minus what most other places have.

So let's say you want to play the spread of the Super Bowl and the line is Denver -2.5, at the listed sites you can pick a line of -1 to -4 for more/less risk and higher/lower payouts.


Hope this helps

The betting odds are adjusted according to the amount bet by the users for a specific outcome. For example in football the outcomes are A win, B win or draw. If more bet comes in draw outcome, odds for it will decrease and odds for other outcome will increase.
And there is a house edge too. Smaller the house edge, better would be the odds for users.
If the odds for team A is less, it doesn't mean team A is better, it just means larger amount are at stake on team A.
