I only bet singles; why should I read this section?

Even if you have your own sports betting strategy that focuses on a certain betting type, you can still find valuable information on other types of betting that may inspire you to create different strategies.

How do I know which betting type I should use?

You should always use the betting type you find the most fun. If you enjoy parlay betting, then that’s the betting type you should use, or if you have a strategy that relies on prop bets, then those are the ones you should use.

What’s the best betting type available?

The best betting type is the one that best suits your needs. If you want the chance to hit a big payday, then parlay betting may be best, but if you want the best chance to win your bet, you should choose single bets.

Are the same betting types available for all sporting events?

The exact betting types available to you as a customer will vary from event to event. More notable events such as the Super Bowl or the Stanley Cup final will have a wider range of bets to choose from, particularly prop bets, as bookmakers know they can make a lot of money from them. Generally, the smaller the event, the fewer bets there are on offer.
