Toledo Rockets Betting - Types of bets

Moneyline betting

Moneyline bets are a great way to start your football betting journey. In moneyline betting, you bet on who the winner of the match will be.

Take, for example, these odds for the game between the Rockets and their rivals.

Fractional odds

6/5

Betting $110 on the Rockets would win you $100 if they win the game. Betting $100 on the Falcons would see you win $110 if they win.

Spreads

Betting on both sides can be key to securing a chance at a payout. Spread bets are a great way to start doing that. In these bets, you bet on the margin of a result and not just the final outcome.

Say the Rockets have a -7.5 spread against the Falcons. If you bet on the Rockets, they’d need to win by 8 points or more for your bet to succeed. Bet on the Falcons (+7.5), and they’d have to win the game or lose by fewer than 8 points for a successful bet.

Total Score Bets (Over/Under Betting)

Over/Under bets are always on the aggregate score of the match. Here, you can bet on whether the combined teams’ total score is over or under a set limit. 

For example, if this number is set at 40 points on a Rockets vs. Falcons game, you can bet on whether the final aggregate score will be over or under 40 points.

Parlays

A parlay combines multiple bets across matches under a single wager. The advantage of this is that you get better odds compared to individual bets. You could combine a moneyline bet on the Falcons vs. the Rockets with a spread on the Musketeers vs. the Zips under a single bet for better odds. The only catch is that all your bets need to be winners for you to win.

Prop bets

Prop bets are placed on specific outcomes in a match that may not affect the final result, such as how many yards a player may cover on the pitch.

Futures and outright bets

Both outright bets and futures are long-term bets. Outright bets are on whom you think will win the championship, while futures are on end-of-season awards like MVPs, conference winners, top scorers, etc.
