Three of most popular forms of wagers are moneyline, point spreads and totals (over/under).

Moneyline Bets

A money line bet is a wager on which team will win a game and is the most popular way to bet on hockey and baseball, but does exists also for basketball, football and other sports.

Point Spread Bets

Point spread betting is said to have been invented in the 1940’s by Charles K. McNeil of Chicago. He was a math professor who used it in his own bookmaking operation.

Whether or not this true is irrelevant; today point spread betting is the most popular way to wager on America’s two most frequently wagered upon sports, football and basketball.

The basic idea behind a point spread is in order to make the game closer to a 50/50 proposition a handicap is added.

Totals – Over/Under Bets

Here you’re wagering on whether the total number of points scored by both teams will be over or under the posted betting total.
