Sports Betting 101: What Is It?

Think of sports betting as stepping onto the board: you place your piece, make your call and see where the action takes you.

At its core, sports betting means putting down a stake (an amount of money you’re comfortable with) on the outcome of a sporting event. Simple as that.

Take a football match, for example. You can back a team to win, both teams to score or even pick who you think the first goalscorer will be. These options are called ‘markets’, and within each market you’ll find specific bets to place.

If your prediction is correct, you’ll get a ‘return’ made up of your original stake and your winnings, based on the odds offered when you placed your bet.

We default to fractional odds here, but you can switch to decimal or American if that’s more your style.

Any winnings land straight in your account wallet, where you can decide what happens next. Use them for more bets or withdraw to your bank account, the choice is yours.

And that’s the lie of the land for sports betting. Now, let’s look at how odds and markets work in more detail, so you know exactly what moves are on the board.

A Portfolio of Betting Markets

You might be disappointed if your favourite playing piece gets taken in a game of MONOPOLY, but, with us, there’s so much sports betting variety here that everyone can find something they enjoy, no matter what others are doing.

There’s room for all kinds of players here!

Get straight to it with a match winner bet

With a match winner bet, you’re simply backing the player or team you think will win.

You can place a bet on the result being a draw too, which is why these bets suit football and cricket nicely. Other sports like tennis, horse racing and darts only have a two-way option: win or lose.

Call your shot with a correct score bet

Feel strongly about a game’s exact result?

Look out for correct score markets, which may reward you nicely for your precise predictions.

These can work particularly well on lower-scoring sports, like football and hockey, where there’s - typically - not so much chaos.

Level the playing field with handicap betting

With a handicap bet, you can give the underdogs a virtual head start or make the favourites work harder by giving them a virtual deficit to overcome.

If, for a football match, you added a two-goal deficit to the favourites, they’d have to win the game by a margin of at least three goals. If you added a two-goal lead to the underdogs, they’d have to win, draw or lose by no more than one goal.

Keep the score with an over/under bet

If you think a game will be a goal fest or something of a stalemate, you can back it with a bet that the total number of goals or points exceeds or falls short of the line that’s been set.

Choose from a list of possible pre-set outcomes, like over 2.5 goals in a football match or under 156 points in a basketball game, and if there are at least three goals in the match or no more than 155 points in the game, your bet wins.

Play the long game with outrights

For the more patient among us, outrights make it possible to bet on season-end outcomes like league winner and top scorer.

It’s a longer wait for the results, but depending on the odds you get early on in the season, it may also be worth the wait.

Build your collection with multiple bets

Don’t get us wrong, we’re all for some single bet fun. In fact, they’re usually the best way to get started.

But for those looking to add a bit more variety to their slip, multiple bets might be an avenue worth exploring. With them, you can combine a number of selections and wagers into one.

What’s the benefit of combining them, you ask? Multiple bets offer the chance of enhanced returns on your stake. But be sure to choose wisely, as all selections need to land for the bet to win. Any single loss means the whole bet loses.

Here’s a list of the most popular sorts of multiple bets, and how they work.

A full set with accumulators

The classic acca. Fuse two or more selections – from different events, like two separate football matches – into one bet.

Curate your experience with a bet builder

Like an acca, but with one major difference. With a bet builder, you can mix and match markets from a single game.

For a football match, this might look like a bet on both teams scoring, a certain player providing an assist and the total number of cards a team receives – whatever takes your fancy.

You'll need at least two selections, but there's plenty of room for creativity.

Three’s company with a Trixie bet

An offshoot of the acca where you build four bets (three doubles and one treble) on three different selections.

Popular in horse racing, you’d make three doubles by:

• Betting on horse A and horse B to win
• Betting on horse A and horse C to win
• Betting on horse B and horse C to win

And then the treble:

• Betting on horse A, horse B and horse C to win

Creating a successful Trixie can lead to greater payouts than individual single bets, but they’re also a little safer than a traditional acca bet because you’ll get a payout even if one selection loses.

Cross the pond with a Yankee bet

Turning up the complexity even more, a Yankee bet is a wager with four selections, consisting of 11 individual bets.

Six doubles, four triples and one fourfold acca make up those 11 bets.

Where a letter represents a certain team or horse, the doubles cover six possible arrangements: AB, AC, AD, BC, BD, CD.

In a similar fashion, the trebles cover the four arrangements: ABC, ABD, ACD, BCD.

You’d then round things off with the acca: A, B, C and D.

As with a Trixie bet, here you have the chance to land a greater payout than if you’d placed the bets as singles, and you get a bit of a safety net as not all your selections need to land for you to receive some kind of return.

A Full Board of Sports

With our extensive selection of sports, we've got something going on every day of the week. So, if you want Premier League drama or National League grit, tennis that spans from Wimbledon's strawberries and cream to ATP tours and WTA opens and horse racing covering Royal Ascot's fancy hats to Aintree's jumps, you're in the right place.

And that's just the beginning. There's loads more to choose from, with cricket, darts, boxing, rugby and more all available once you get on board.

Action in Real Time With Live Betting

The excitement doesn’t have to end once a game starts. Not here, anyway. If you didn’t make kickoff, bull up or the call to the post, don’t fret. Our live betting markets let you jump into the action even after it’s started.

From football to table tennis and even esports, we’ve got loads of in-play betting options you choose from. So, if you’ve got a feeling mid-game, watch the odds update as the drama unfolds and get involved.

The game is live, and so are the opportunities.

Things to Keep in Mind When Betting on Sports

Just like you wouldn't buy a property without checking the neighbourhood first, a little homework can go a long way in sports betting.

Now, we’re not saying there’s a secret formula – sports are unpredictable, and that’s half the fun – but there are some handy bits worth keeping in mind when building out your next wager.

Whether you’re backing your local team or eyeing up an international showdown, the difference can be in the details. Recent form starts to tell a story, head-to-head records can uncover old rivalries and keeping up with team and player news means you won't be caught off guard by any last-minute changes.

For outdoor sports, don’t forget to peek at the weather forecast, as torrential downpours and howling wind can affect the way a game plays out.

With these bits of information in your back pocket, you’re in a better position to weigh up your options and make choices that feel right.
