Other sports

Before betting on your favourite teams and players in popular sports events, know the different kinds of betting markets. Learn more about it here:

Fixed betting

The most common type of sports betting wager is fixed betting, also known as straight betting. It involves betting on the outcome of a match or who will win the game. In this betting type, the online bookmaker sets the betting line already. You just need to bet on either the favourite or the underdog.

Parimutuel betting

Pari-mutuel betting, often known as pool betting, is a distinct type of wager. Instead of betting against a bookmaker, you're betting against other bettors on the same event. All bets are placed in a pool divided evenly among those who make the winning selection.

Spread betting

Also known as points spread betting, spread betting is where punters wager on the points difference between the underdog and the favourite. In spread bets, the bookmaker predicts a points difference that serves as the margin of victory. The team you bet on must ‘cover’ or outperform that margin to win.

Total betting

This type of sports wager, also known as Over/Under betting, lets you bet on the combined final score of the two teams in a match. The online bookmaker sets a predetermined amount, and you must choose whether to bet over or under. 

Choosing ‘over’ means you think combined scores are higher than the bookmaker’s determined amount. On the other hand, choosing ‘under’ means you think the combined scores are lower than the determined amount.  

Future betting

Place future bets if you think your favoured team will win an event before it happens. Future betting includes championship market and individual awards, such as MVP or Rookie of the Year. 

In this type of bet, punters choose between the ‘yes or no’ option on a specific outcome. For example, if you think a player will win the MVP, you must bet for the ‘yes’ wager.

Parlay betting

Parlay bets are one wager that combines two or more wagers. For a parlay bet to pay, all bets must win. On the other hand, if any bet loses, you lose all your parlay wagers. This type of sports betting is popular among risk-takers. Because in parlay betting, the more bets added to the parlay, the greater the risk and the bigger the payout.

Props betting

Proposition betting, popularly known as props bet, is sports betting on a particular player instead of a team. It focuses on segmented parts of the match or game. The unique nature of prop bets quickly gained popularity among punters, so seeing this wager on the best place for sports betting online is common. 

You’ll usually see betting options like the following in props betting:

• Will Freddie Freeman hit a home run?
• How many rebounds will Nikola Jokic collect?

Sports betting can be intimidating and confusing, especially if you are a new punter. So here are tips and advice you can follow to help you improve and increase your chances of winning.

Understand the odds

Before betting on your favourite team and player, learn the odds. It indicates the probability of how much you can win based on your wager. Moreover, it also determines the potential outcome of the event.

Do your research

Make sure you research the team you’re supporting. Look for their team stats, players and other relevant information that can affect the game.

Use your head

You may have a favoured player, and supporting his team until the end is your goal. But don’t take that mindset in sports betting. Betting on a player and team is a different thing. Just as we said above, do your research first. Your favourite player might shower rebounds and three points, yet the team loses the game. Don’t let your heart take over in decision-making.

Bet on home teams

In sports betting, there’s home team bias, where bettors bet on teams playing on their home turf. This is because, most of the time, home teams win more often than the road teams. Data suggests that it’s because of the crowd support, family and reduced travel fatigue. 

Set a budget

Before playing, decide how much you want to spend and can afford to lose. Setting a budget can help you avoid losing all your money at once.

Take advantage of promotions

Like many online bookmakers, Roobet offers superb promotions and bonuses to players. Grab these opportunities to increase your chances of winning or avoiding losing considerable money. Take our Champions League promotion as an example. With this promotion, you can get a free bet on match day.
