Over/Under

A single bet that links two or more individual wagers together, requiring all selections to win for the bet to pay out. Also known as an accumulator (acca) in the UK or a multi in Australia. The combined odds are the product of each individual selection's odds, creating high potential returns but lower overall probability.

A bet where the bookmaker assigns a points advantage or disadvantage to level the playing field between two teams. The favorite must win by more than the spread (e.g., -6.5 points) for a bet on them to win. The underdog can lose by less than the spread or win outright. Common in American football and basketball.

A bet where your stake is refunded if the match ends in a draw, effectively removing the draw as an outcome. You only win if your selected team wins, and only lose if the opposing team wins. DNB offers lower odds than a standard 1X2 bet but provides insurance against the draw result.

A bet on the overall winner of a tournament, league, or competition, rather than a single match result. For example, betting on which team will win the Premier League. Similar to futures but more commonly used in European betting markets. Outright bets usually have many possible outcomes.

A bet against an outcome occurring, effectively taking the role of the bookmaker. Only available on betting exchanges like Betfair. When you lay a bet, you are offering odds to other bettors. If the outcome occurs, you pay the backer's profit. If it does not occur, you keep the backer's stake.

A handicap betting system originating in Asia that eliminates the draw as a possible outcome by using quarter-goal and half-goal lines. For example, a -0.75 Asian Handicap splits your stake between -0.5 and -1.0 lines. This system offers more precise handicapping and often lower margins than European handicaps.
