Whether you’re new to betting or a seasoned veteran there’s a good chance there are sports bets that you probably haven’t tried yet. There is a huge range of bet types offered by the sportsbooks in the US and understanding them can sometimes be difficult without some help.

That’s where our team of experts come in. We try to break each bet type down to help you understand exactly what’s involved in each bet without the fluff giving clear examples and when you should use each type to maximise value.

Beginners Betting Types

We’ll start with the simplest betting types that everyone who starts betting should know. Having a clear understanding of how each of these works will make sure you are placing your bets effectively and not wasting money betting on things that don’t fully make sense to you.

Advanced Betting Types

Once you’ve mastered the basics of betting you might want to try some more exciting betting types. I would usually wait until you’ve seen some good results with the basic bet types first before moving on to more advanced bets. That being said you can find some of the best value in the more complicated bets.
