Popular Types of Bets
You can place lots of different sports bets at Stake.com, including the following:
Outright Bets & Futures Bets: This is one of the easiest and most common types of bets, where you will place a wager on the outcome of an event, whether this is on the individual or team to win a tournament or competition. Over/under wins for a season and who will win the championship are all examples of long-term bets a punter can make to get value on their bet down the line.
Moneyline Bets: A simple type of bet that lets you pick the winner of the match. Draws aren’t included in a moneyline bet, as tied games are typically decided with a tie-breaker.
1x2/Three-way Bets: A common betting type that lets you predict one of three possible outcomes of a match - a win, loss, or draw. While two-way moneyline bets may result in a push, where your wager is returned if there’s a tie, three-way moneyline bets include an additional option to bet on a draw.
Handicap Bets: A popular betting type that involves adding or subtracting a value from a team or the event’s final score. Betting on the team with a handicap means they need to overcome the handicap for your bet to win, while betting on the team with the advantage means they have to avoid losing by that amount of points/goals.
Over/Under Lines & Totals Bets: Over/Under, or totals betting, is a bet placed on the specific number of points or goals scored. This will often be the combined score of both teams playing, where the sportsbook sets the line, and the bettor can decide how much over/under this line the outcome will be. However, you can also bet on total points for specific teams or players. Asian totals allow you to bet on quarter lines too, where your stake is split between the half and whole line.
Proposition Bets & Player Props: Prop bets are wagers placed on an event that isn't tied to the outcome. This is often conducted in the form of player props, which can include things like betting on individual stats over/under, man of the match/MVP and other specific bets that celebrate an athlete's achievement.
First Score/First Goal: Prop bet of the first team or player to score (points, goals, touchdowns, etc).
Halftime/Interval: This allows you to bet on the match result at a certain point of the match, such as halftime. The halftime/fulltime market allows you to bet on the match result at halftime and fulltime.
Correct Score: Predict the exact final score of a match by moving the sliders for each team.
Parlay Bets & Same-game Multi Bets: Not to be confused with Treble Bets, Parlay (or accumulator) bets are super popular with sports bettors, enabling you to combine multiple selections into the same betting slip. Bettors can use our 'Bet Builder' function to place same-game multi bets and create a parlay with outcomes on the same match.

Sports Betting Odds & Payouts
Betting odds are an indicator of the implied probability of an outcome, and they’re also how you calculate your potential payout. Higher odds mean greater profits if you win, but also come with greater risk. It’s important to balance risk and reward when choosing your bets, and you should also understand how to find value in the odds. We offer great value odds for all sports, and you can adjust how your odds are displayed, choosing from decimals, fractions, or the American format. This makes it a lot easier to read the odds and place bets.
Sports Betting Tips & Strategies
At Stake Sportsbook, we offer a range of expert betting tips and predictions for major sporting events and tournaments throughout the year! But if you're just getting started, here are some handy sports betting tips to bear in mind before betting online:
Always research and consider form, injuries, and head-to-heads before deciding which team to bet on. There’s a wealth of data out there on all major sports, and you can even find lots of useful statistics here at Stake. Always back up your bets with available data rather than following a gut feeling or emotion.
