Betting Options
- Moneyline/Win Bets: The simplest and easiest bets, and the ones that both novice and experienced bettors utilize. On BetRivers, the Moneyline is often referred to as the “Win” bet. The goal, as this name suggests, is to choose the winner.
- Spread/Handicap Bets The Spread is a theoretical handicap that gives points/goals to the lowest-ranked player/team and takes them away from the highest-ranked one. The result is a more balanced set of odds, allowing you to explore different outcomes. In some sports, BetRivers refers to the spread by another name, such as “run line” in baseball games.
- Over/Under Bets: The total number of runs in a baseball game, the total number of games and sets in tennis, the goals in soccer, the points in football—these bets cover all of these options and more. Just choose whether you think the final tally will be more (over) or less (under) the amount shown.
- Parlay: By adding more than one bet to your bet slip, you can combine them to boost the odds. These bets are known as parlays. Just remember that this will also decrease the likelihood of the bet being successful.
- In-Game Bets: These wagers adapt to the action, and include options for specific innings in baseball, halves in soccer, periods in football, and more.
- Futures Bets: BetRivers has a wide selection of big and small betting markets, including everything from regional tournaments to global events like the FIFA World Cup. You can wager on the overall outcome of these before and during the event.
In addition to the above, BetRivers also has lots of prop bets. These cover a wide range of “propositions”, such as whether a certain player will be red-carded/ejected or whether someone will serve a specific number of aces.
Unique Features
The latest sports betting technology ensures that BetRivers stays up to date with recent technology and innovations. Some of the best features found here include:
- Tips and Stats: Want to bet on a game or sport you know little about? BetRivers has “tips” and “stats” sections to help. It’s like checking the form for an upcoming horse race, only it applies to most of the sports, events, and betting markets found in the BetRivers sportsbook. You can find some very valuable insights here.
- Cash-Out: If you have a feeling that the game will change, turning a winning bet into a losing one, you can cash out and take your profits before they are lost. You can also use this feature to settle losing bets before they are lost completely. It’s not available for all events and markets but covers most of them.
- Same-Game Parlays: A same-game parlay lets you add multiple bets from a single game. These bets can include options such as Team A to win, Player A to score first, and Over X points.
- Live Betting: Just because you have missed the start of the event doesn’t mean that you have to miss out completely. Live betting options let you wager on markets that are active, with the odds adjusting according to what’s happening in the contest. Live betting goes hand-in-hand with cash-out options, as it’s possible to cash out a pregame bet and then use those funds to place a live bet with a different outcome.
