Forms of Bookmaker Betting Sports

During the heyday of betting in physical bookmaker stores, one form of bet that was so popular was the conditional bet, where punters could plan out their entire betting day without visiting the bookmaker's office every now and then. But with the widespread prevalence of online betting, conditional bets are now rendered useless to some extent. With an internet connection, anyone is now able to bet at all hours of the day and night, constructing continuous betting chains. For a cutting-edge online bet flexibility experience, you can explore a broad lineup of FanDuel betting options that cater to various tastes and sports.

The idea of a conditional bet was to connect singles, accumulators, systems from individual events. The initial bet stake was all that applied; if it lost, the whole conditional bet was void. But if the initial bet was a winner, the second one in the sequence was reserved with the sum you had specified, and so on, provided the sequence wasn't broken and there were enough funds to carry on.

Sports bets placed at bookmaker's offices also separate by sport. For example, the following are standard football bets:

• Three-Way Match Result (Traditional): You predict the result of a football (or similar) game—win for team one, tie, or win for team two. In other sports such as baseball or tennis, where a tie is not among the possible outcomes, you are selecting between two options.
• Win Including Overtime: Especially relevant to hockey and basketball, where you can bet on the result of regular time or include overtime. Always see what your specific bookmaker does in this respect, as it may vary.
• Double Chance: Here, you insure two results—like a win by either side and a draw (1X, X2), or simply that one side will win in regular time (12), not including a draw.
• Team to Advance: Very common in knockout tournaments. You bet on a team to advance to the next round regardless of whether it is through a single match, extra time, penalties, or multiple legs.
• Both Teams to Score: You bet on whether both teams will score a single goal or more. "Yes" includes scores like 1:1 or 3:2; "No" includes 0:0 or 2:0.
• Total Goals Over/Under: You're wagering the total number of goals over or under some value (i.e., 2.5 goals). Whole number totals provide refunds if the match is precisely evenly-matched in terms of total.
• Handicap Betting: Handicap or spread betting provides a virtual head start or setback to a team. The idea is to even up the game betting and impact payouts by so doing.
• Correct Score: You try to predict the exact score. Bookmakers can offer an "Any Other Score" option for volatile high-scoring teams.
• Half-Time Betting: All of the above types of bets—BTTS, match result, handicap, total, correct score—can be bet on either half of the match.
• Half-Time/Full-Time: Predict both the half-time outcome and the end outcome. For example, HT: Team 1 ahead / FT: Draw.
• Individual Team Total: Bet on how many goals a particular team will score. Favorite bets are "over 0.5 goals"—you just want your selected team to score once.
• Goalscorer Bets: Most offshore bookmakers provide odds for individual players to score at any time, first/last, score more than one goal, hat-tricks, or even match-winning goals.
• Goalscorer and Result: You both predict someone to score and the result overall, for instance, "Weimann to score and Aston Villa to win."
• Result and Total: You predict the result and also the total number of goals. For instance, "Team A wins & under 2.5 goals" includes 1:0 and 2:0.
• Even/Odd Total Goals: You predict whether the overall number of goals is likely to be even or odd. 0 is generally considered even.
• Winning Margin: Predict the goal margin by which a side will win—either any side or a specific one.
• Match Statistics Betting: Typical betting involves corners, yellow/red cards, fouls, throw-ins, possession stats, etc. Bookmakers usually use a particular source for these statistics to avoid controversy.
• Time Interval Betting: Bet on specific time periods, i.e., a 15-minute block or just the first half, with various types of bets.
• Game Progression: Bet on the progression of the game. For instance, "lead then draw" means your chosen team must lead at some point and the match must finish as a draw.
• Goalscorer and Correct Score: Both both forecast a specific player to score and the final result of the match.
