Bet types available on BetRivers Sportsbook in Connecticut

BetRivers sportsbook in Connecticut allows you to bet virtually on any occurrence possible in a sporting event. Also, all the bet types come with the most competitive odds and are available for both pre-match and live betting.

So, betting on BetRivers guarantees the best experience and huge potential wins. Below are the common bet types you can place on the bookie in Connecticut.

  • Spreads – The spread or point spread is a bet on the margin of victory. Here, the players predict the number of scores or goals that the match-winner will beat the opponent with. The bookie creates such bets by allocating different winning margins from which one will choose. So, for the favorite bet to win, the team has to win by the margin. And its odds means the amount you’ll have to wager to win $100 as profit. In contrast, a wager on the underdog means they’ll have to win or lose by a margin not greater than the assigned for a bet on them to win. Their odds mean the amount you’ll win if you place a $100 wager on them.
  • Moneyline – As the most straightforward bet type, a moneyline bet requires you to only predict the match-winner. Here, the margin of victory does not matter. The betting odds are also straightforward. Some sports like soccer have a three-way moneyline bet with the middle bet being the ‘draw’ bet. This is so because such sports have a draw result.
  • Futures – Futures is a bet on something that will happen in the longer-term future. And it’s available for almost every sport with a tournament or a league. For example, you can predict the team to win the Stanley Cup, NBA Championship, the Super Bowl, and the World Series. The beauty with this bet type is that you can place it at any type of season or tournament, and it comes with generous odds. Besides, it allows you to closely follow your favorite sport in Connecticut to the end.
  • Live-betting – As the name goes, live-betting is wagering on events as they unfold in real-time. With the event progressing, many things happen and the prediction before the match begins may not necessarily dictate how it will play out. So, players get real-time updates on what is transpiring and this may be a good guide to what they can place on at that time. And after placing such bets, they can continue watching the match as they await their analyzed predictions to come through.
  • Prop bets – A number of unprecedented things happen in a match that doesn’t necessarily dictate the final outcome. For example, the total passing yards by a player, the coin toss result, who will score the first touchdown, and who will receive a red card, among others. Although they are rare and hard to predict occurrences, they add to the thrill of a match. Besides, BetRivers allows bettors to place on such occurrences and pay them heavily when the predictions come to pass.
  • Parlay bets – Also called accumulator, combo, or multi-bet, parlay bets allow players to make more than one bet selection (legs) into one big single bet. Here, you can choose any bet types from different or the same match and place all of them as a single bet. The good thing about it is that the odds are multiplied by any new selection that you make. But, for the bet to win, all the legs must win.
