Other Types of Common Bets

Many bookmakers offer several other types of bets; in here we will discuss the most popular ones, bets that you can find in almost every online betting website and can spice up your wagering habits.

Proposition Bets

These wagers are made on a specific outcome of a specific match. They are very easy to understand and calculate and many bettors prefer them. Proposition bets are always money line bets.
Examples: Betting whether a basketball team will score more or less than another team, betting on a specific number of goals that a soccer team scores in a specific match, or betting on a set amount of total yardage that a specific yard receiver in football will net.

Parlays

A parlay is a bet that involves multiple bets (usually 2-8, and up to 12) and rewards the winner with a large payout. All the bets must be successful and if one of them fails, the entire bet is a loss.
In a parlay bet you can choose to combine bets on any sports, and in case of "no action" or a "tie" in one of the bets, the parlay is reduced to the next lowest number parlay, example: a 5parlay becomes a 4parlay if one of the soccer games in the parlay ends in a tie.

Future Bets

This bet predicts a future result of a big scale game or a different accomplishment by a specific team or a player. For example, a popular future bet is to bet whether a certain country will win the FIFA world cup, or a certain NBA basketball team will win the championship.

Run Line, Goal Line and Puck Line Bets

Run line (in baseball), goal line (in soccer) and puck like (in hockey) are a fixed point spread bets the offer lower payouts to the underdogs and higher payouts for the favorites.
