Barstool event betting app

Many types of sports bets are also popular in event betting. Some of the most popular include:

Moneyline event bets

The most basic bet of all and popular among new bettors. With a moneyline bet, you’re simply wagering on who will win. In traditional sports betting, that means who will win a game or match.

In terms of event betting, you may pick a team to win the Super Bowl or who will win best picture at the Oscars.

Totals and Over/Under event bets

With totals betting, your wager is based on a total created by a sportsbook related to a big sports event.

For example, a sportsbook may set the total — combining the number of points scored by both teams in a game — at 31 at the Super Bowl. You’ll bet on whether the final outcome of the game will either be above or below 31.

Point spread event bets

The wager gets more detailed with point spread betting. A sportsbook will pick someone or a team to win and tie it to a number of points they believe the winner will win by, or the “spread.”

You can bet on whether the actual difference of the game score will be above or below the spread.

Futures events betting

Used frequently in event betting, futures bets let you place a wager on an event well before the event will take place.

In event betting, this could mean betting on who will win the NCAA college basketball tournament, who will take home the Nobel Peace Prize, or who will be eliminated first on a reality competition show.

Prop bets on events

With prop bets, short for proposition bets, you get to be a bit more creative. You can place bets on one player or an event within a game — and often when the game is being played.

Prop bets can include everything from which player will score the first goal or how many kills a player will make during a “Call of Duty” video game tournament.

Like traditional sports betting, you may place a wager on numerous types of events – both sports and non-sports. Here are a few of the options to consider, when you bet online at Arizona Sportsbooks.

Super Bowl

You guessed it. The most-watched big annual sporting event in America is extremely popular with event bettors.

You can bet on the winner or the spread, but you can also place event bets on other elements of the Super Bowl, such as who will win the coin toss, if a certain celebrity will be in attendance, or on the length of the national anthem.

FIFA World Cup

The biggest soccer event in the world, the World Cup is a 32-team tournament with lots of room for event bets of all kinds.

You could place wagers on the player who scores the most goals or which team will win their group.

March Madness

Another tourney, NCAA basketball’s March Madness has a big fanbase and is very prominent on online sportsbooks. Fan typically place wagers on a bracket or pool to predict the outcome of every individual game.

‘League of Legends’

A trend in event betting is making wagers on the highly competitive world of video games, especially those that are multiplayer, such as “League of Legends” and “DOTA 2” that are played in massive tournaments each year.

Movies, TV, and music

Big events in the entertainment world — the Oscars, the Emmys, the Grammys — are often pushed by online sportsbooks, with people betting on the winners but also placing prop bets on what will go down in the ceremonies, such as its length or the most popular color dress.

The breadth of reality TV lends itself to event betting since many are competition shows.

The Nobel Prize

Event betting can get high-brow! Surprisingly, event betting on the annual Nobel Prizes is big, with people wagering on odds placed by sportsbooks on who will win in specific categories.
