What Are Easiest Sports & Esports to Bet on?
One of the easiest and most popular games to bet on is soccer. There’s a reason it's called the world game; it’s played everywhere, and with many leagues running globally, it’s one of the best sports for betting.
Here’s a list of the easiest:
Soccer
The premise of soccer is easy to understand, with each team trying to get the ball into the opposition’s net. The scoring is simple, and you have a large betting market to choose from. But the most straightforward bet is deciding simply whether you think a team will win, lose or tie a fixture.
Horse Racing
Horse racing is one of the most popular sports to bet on and can be a great day out. You can bet on which horse you believe will win a race or each way betting – there are plenty of opportunities to bet in horse racing.
You can bet on both the National American Football League and College Football, making for a variety of markets. You’ll find spread betting and totals betting common when searching for American football bets.
Cricket
Although cricket has a reputation for being a strange scoring game, it’s simple to grasp and can offer some exciting betting opportunities. The most common bets in cricket are the overall winner, top batsman score and total runs.
Boxing
Boxing is one of the simplest sports to bet on. There is an obvious overall winner betting market for boxing matches, but you can also find other markets. For example, which round will the fight end on or the victory method?
Basketball
Spread betting and totals betting are very popular forms of betting in basketball games and prop bets. In proposition bets, rather than betting on the outcome of the game, you bet on a specific event, such as a particular player scoring.
Tennis
Tennis is a popular sport globally, attracting many viewers and gambling enthusiasts. Some common bets are moneyline bets or totals bets, where you bet on the number of games played in a match.
What are the Simplest Bet Types?
Stake offers a wide variety of betting markets, tapping into all the major sports internationally, from professional leagues to the Olympics and horse races.
How easy to understand or simple the bet is will depend on your knowledge of the sport, its game rules, and the betting markets. This is why you must do your homework before placing a wager.
The most common types of bets include:
Moneyline bets are where you bet on which team or individual will win the game or match. The odds offered are indicative of who we believe will be the victor.
Spread betting is a type of bet also known as point spread betting. Stake.com assigns a point spread to the favourite side, which they must win by for the bet to win.
Totals bets are also known as over/under bets and involve betting on whether you believe the total points scored will be over or under a predetermined amount.
Prop bets are bets that don’t rely on the game's overall outcome but on a specific event, such as a player scoring a goal or receiving a card.
Futures bets are placed on the outcome of future events, like the winner of the next Rugby World Cup or a Dota 2 tournament.
