Common Bet Types Accepted In The USA

There are various types of bets commonly accepted in the USA, especially with the legalization of sports betting in multiple states. While the list can vary by state and sportsbook, here are some of the most popular bet types you'll find in the US:

### 1. **Moneyline Bet**
- **Description**: A simple bet on which team or player will win a game or match.
- **Example**: You place a bet on the New York Knicks to win a game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

### 2. **Point Spread Bet**
- **Description**: The favorite team has to win by a certain number of points, while the underdog can either win outright or lose by fewer points than the spread.
- **Example**: The spread might be -3 for the favorite, meaning they need to win by at least 3 points for your bet to win.

### 3. **Over/Under (Total) Bet**
- **Description**: You bet on whether the total points scored in a game will be over or under a set number.
- **Example**: Over/Under 50 total points in a football game.

### 4. **Parlay Bet**
- **Description**: A bet that combines two or more individual bets into one. All parts of the bet must win for the parlay to payout, but the odds are multiplied.
- **Example**: Betting on both the New England Patriots and the Chicago Cubs to win their games on the same day.

### 5. **Teaser Bet**
- **Description**: Similar to a parlay, but allows you to adjust the point spread in your favor, usually by 6, 6.5, or 7 points.
- **Example**: In an NFL game, you could adjust the point spread of two games by 6 points to increase your chances of winning.

### 6. **Futures Bet**
- **Description**: A bet placed on an outcome that will be decided in the future, such as who will win a championship or a league MVP.
- **Example**: Betting on a team to win the Super Bowl before the season starts.

### 7. **Prop Bet (Proposition Bet)**
- **Description**: A bet placed on specific events or outcomes within a game, not necessarily tied to the final result.
- **Example**: Betting on how many total yards a player will rush for or if a player will score a touchdown.

### 8. **In-Play or Live Betting**
- **Description**: Betting on a game or event while it's happening, with odds that change in real-time based on the action.
- **Example**: Placing a bet on the next team to score or whether a certain player will hit a home run during a baseball game.

### 9. **Round Robin Bet**
- **Description**: A way to place multiple parlays at once. You select a set of teams, and the sportsbook will create multiple parlays from those teams.
- **Example**: If you choose three teams, a round robin will create three two-team parlays.

### 10. **If Bet**
- **Description**: A bet where you place one wager, but it’s contingent upon the outcome of the first bet. You can place an "if bet" across multiple games.
- **Example**: You bet on the Patriots to win, and if they win, you place a second bet on the Lakers to win their game.

### 11. **Alternate Lines**
- **Description**: An adjusted version of the point spread, total, or moneyline bet with different odds. You can adjust the spread or total for better odds or easier outcomes.
- **Example**: You could take the point spread at -4 for the favorite instead of -7, but the odds will be adjusted.

### 12. **Accumulator Bet**
- **Description**: A series of bets that are linked together, similar to a parlay. Each leg of the accumulator needs to win for the bet to pay out.
- **Example**: Betting on multiple sports events across different leagues, like the NFL, NBA, and Premier League.

### 13. **Head-to-Head Bet**
- **Description**: A bet that focuses on a specific match-up between two players or teams, often used in golf, NASCAR, or other sports with individual participants.
- **Example**: Betting on which golfer will have a better score between two selected players in a tournament.

### 14. **Asian Handicap**
- **Description**: A form of betting where the favorite is given a "handicap" to level the playing field, used mostly for soccer.
- **Example**: A team with a -1.5 handicap means they need to win by at least 2 goals for you to win your bet.

### 15. **Live Props**
- **Description**: Similar to regular prop bets, but placed during the game as events unfold.
- **Example**: Betting on whether the next player to score a goal in a soccer game will be the striker or midfielder.

The betting landscape in the US is growing, with different states having varying rules, especially with new betting markets opening after the repeal of PASPA in 2018 | (PDF FILE).

Keep in mind that some bet types, like "teasers" and "futures," can be offered more widely in certain markets than others.
