Types of Sports Betting

In sports betting, there are two main terms – favorite and underdog. The former carries a higher probability of winning, but it also carries more risk. Conversely, the latter has a lower probability of winning but comes with a bigger reward. The former is also known as a pick. The latter is the opposite of the former. When you bet on an underdog, the odds are even. This gives you a fair chance of winning.
