Hey @BetHerBelieveIt and everyone else jumping in...
Welcome to the world of sports betting! It can definitely feel overwhelming at first, but trust me, it gets easier once you get a feel for the basics.
Here's a quick rundown for anyone just starting out:
Start with what you know – Like @dyslectic and @tacomouse said, focus on the sports you already watch or enjoy. You’ll make more informed decisions that way.
Learn the basics – Here are a few key bet types you’ll come across:
-
Moneyline – Just picking the winner. Easiest to understand.
-
Point Spread – A team has to win by (or not lose by) a certain number of points.
-
Parlay – Combining multiple bets into one for a bigger payout (but all have to win).
-
Over/Under (Totals) – Betting whether the total combined score will be over or under a set number.
Best sports for beginners?
-
NFL and NBA: Tons of data and coverage, so it’s easy to research.
-
Boxing and MMA: Moneyline bets are usually the go-to, so they’re simpler to start with.
Final tip: Always treat it as entertainment, especially at first. Keep it fun, bet small, and don't chase losses.
