Sports betting is a great way to make money while watching your favorite sports team. There are several types of sports bets, including over/under bets and futures. The first is called a point total, which is the combined total of points scored by both teams in a game. For example, if the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants are playing a football game, the point total would be 45.5. The Giants are the underdogs, so you would place a bet on the Eagles to win the game.

Before you place your bet, it’s important to know the housekeeping rules of the sportsbook you’re betting at. You can check the housekeeping rules by looking for the ID number of the game on the board. You’ll also find information on the types of bets available, such as the moneyline, spread, over/under, win total, and future bets. You should also know that most sportsbooks accept cash, so bring cash with you.

Another popular type of sports bet is in boxing, a type of combat sport. In boxing, you’ll be able to bet on who will win, how many rounds the contest will last, and other factors. A common way to bet on boxing is on the moneyline. While moneylines are the most common betting option, you can also bet on the number of rounds a bout will go.
