6 Bet Types

Sports Betting Types Explained

From moneylines to futures — the complete dictionary of how Nevada sportsbook bets work, with examples for every major wager type.

Moneyline

Beginners and underdog hunters

Pick the outright winner. Simplest bet type — odds reflect the favorite/underdog gap.

NFL and NBA bettors

Bet on margin of victory. The spread equalizes a mismatched game.

Game-flow analysts and weather watchers

Bet on the combined points scored, regardless of who wins.

Recreational bettors chasing big payouts

Combine multiple bets into one. All legs must win — bigger payout, lower odds.

Player-research bettors and DFS crossover players

Bet on individual player or game-event outcomes, not the final score.

Long-term value hunters and season-pass bettors

Long-term bets on season outcomes — championships, MVPs, division winners.
