In sports betting, you can either wager directly, by placing a “tee” (a bet with a fifty-fifty chance of winning or losing) or by using one of the many “lay” types of bets. The most popular type of sports betting is represented by the straight bet, where the odds are set by a sportsbook and the wager is made on the result of the bet. The least popular type of sports betting is represented by the spread, where you place a wager against the odds, where the bettor is not guaranteed to win or lose.
