Consider hedging opportunities as playoffs approach, especially with Iowa's liquid regulated market offering numerous exit strategies.
- Point Spread
- A handicap applied to the favored team. NBA spreads are typically 1 to 15 points. The favorite must win by more than the spread for a spread bet to cash.
- Over/Under (Game Total)
- A bet on whether the combined points scored by both teams exceeds or falls short of the bookmaker's line. NBA totals typically range from 210 to 240.
- Player Props
- Wagers on individual player statistics — points, rebounds, assists, three-pointers made. Among the fastest-growing basketball betting markets.
- Same-Game Parlay (SGP)
- A parlay where all selections come from the same game — e.g., team to win + over total + player prop. Correlated outcomes make pricing complex.
- Quarter/Half Betting
- Spreads and totals applied to specific periods of the game. Quarter lines offer more granular betting opportunities within a single contest.
- Alternate Total
- A total set higher or lower than the primary line, with adjusted odds. Useful when you have a strong lean on scoring pace but want different risk/reward.
- Moneyline
- A straight-up wager on which side wins. No point spread involved — you simply pick the winner.
- Vig (Juice)
- The bookmaker's commission built into every line. Standard vig is around -110 on each side, meaning you risk $110 to win $100.
- Implied Probability
- The likelihood of an outcome as suggested by the odds. For example, -200 implies a 66.7% chance. Comparing implied probability across bookmakers reveals where value exists.
- Closing Line Value (CLV)
- The difference between the odds you locked in and the odds at the time the market closes. Consistently beating the closing line is the strongest predictor of long-term betting profit.
- Line Movement
- Changes in odds between when a market opens and when it closes. Driven by sharp money, public betting patterns, injuries, and other news.
- Bankroll
- The total amount of money you've set aside specifically for betting. Effective bankroll management — typically risking 1-3% per wager — is essential for surviving variance.
- Unit
- A standardized bet size, typically 1% of your bankroll. Tracking results in units rather than dollars normalizes performance regardless of stake size.
- Hedge
- Placing a bet on the opposite side of an existing wager to lock in a guaranteed profit or reduce exposure, often used with futures or parlays.
- Parlay (Accumulator)
- A single bet combining two or more selections. All picks must win for the parlay to pay out. Higher potential return but significantly lower probability.
- Futures
- Long-term bets on outcomes determined at the end of a season or tournament, such as championship winners, MVP awards, or win totals.
- Live Betting (In-Play)
- Placing wagers while a game is in progress. Odds update continuously based on score, time remaining, and game flow.
- Overround
- The total implied probability across all outcomes in a market. An overround above 100% represents the bookmaker's margin. Lower overround means better value for bettors.
