New to betting? Start here. Below are the main ways you can place a wager at Betski.

Straight bet

One game, one outcome.

  • Moneyline — pick who wins the game.
    Example: Team A to win.

  • Point spread — the favorite must win by a set margin; the underdog can “cover” by losing close or winning.
    Example: Team A −3.5 means Team A must win by 4+.

  • Total (Over/Under) — bet on the combined score.
    Example: Over 2.5 goals.

  • Asian Handicap (AH)

    • A point spread that can use whole, half (±0.5), or quarter lines (±0.25, ±0.75).

    • Quarter lines split your stake across two nearby half/whole lines (e.g., +0.25 = half on +0 and half on +0.5).

    • Results can be win, half-win, push (refund), half-loss, or loss.

    • Popular in soccer; check the bet slip for exact settlement and whether overtime counts.

Parlay

Combine 2+ picks into one bet for a higher payout. All legs must win or the parlay loses.
Example: Team A to win + Over 2.5 + Team C +1.5.

Same Game Parlay (SGP) / Same Game Multi

  • Combine multiple picks from one game (e.g., Team A ML + Player X Over + Total Over).

  • All legs must win to cash.

  • Correlation rules apply (some combos aren’t allowed).

  • Availability varies by sport/market; check the bet slip.

  • Odds update live—recheck before placing.

Round robin

A simple way to place many small parlays at once. You choose 3–8 selections; we create every parlay combo you select (By 2’s, By 3’s, etc.). You can still get a return even if one leg loses.

Example: Picks A, B, C with “By 2’s” creates three 2-team parlays: A+B, A+C, B+C. A $10 stake on “By 2’s” = $30 total ($10 × 3 parlays).

Teaser

Like a parlay, but you move the spread/total in your favor on each leg (fewer points needed to cover). Payout is lower than a standard parlay because it’s easier to win.

Example: Tease Team A from −7 to −1 and move Over 44.5 to Over 38.5.

Pleaser

The opposite of a teaser. You move the line against yourself (harder to win) for a higher payout.

Example: Team A −3 becomes −9 (tougher line, bigger potential return).

If bet

You risk a fixed amount on Leg 1. If it wins, the same amount goes onto Leg 2 (and so on). If Leg 1 loses, the chain stops.

Example: $50 on A. If A wins, $50 rolls to B. If A loses, B never places.

Action reverse

A set of If bets in both directions, covering every order of the selections. More coverage than a single If bet, more total risk than one straight bet.

Futures

Bet on an outcome later in the season. Prices can be big because you’re betting far in advance.

Examples: League champion, MVP, win totals.

Props

Bet on specific events or stats within a game or season.

Examples: Player to score, QB passing yards Over/Under, first team to 10 points.

Tips

  • Check your bet slip before you confirm.

  • For combos, know how many legs must win.

  • Manage risk: parlays pay more because they’re harder to hit.
