Betting markets at FanDuel

FanDuel lets you place moneyline, point-spread and over/under bets, along with a plethora of props and futures and various parlay-style wagers. Here is how FanDuel Ohio Sportsbook will display standard odds, and then we’ll go over how each of the bets works:

Moneyline, spread and over/under betting at FanDuel

This trio of bets is what you’ll see on most of the main pages at FanDuel. Moneyline wagers are for when you just want to bet on which team you think will win. Here, the Browns betting odds make them slight favorites — you can tell because their odds is a negative number. Moneyline odds of -146 mean that if you bet $146 and win, you’ll make $100 in profit. The Bengals betting odds of +124 mean a $100 wager would result in a $124 profit if correct.

Spread betting means your selection needs to cover the spread. A -3 spread means three points will be subtracted from Cleveland’s total. Thus the Browns have to win by four points or more. A +3 spread means Cincinnati’s total will get three additional points, so the Bengals will cover if they lose by two or points or fewer, or if they win by any amount

Totals bets, or over/unders, are wagers on the total combined score of both teams. If Cleveland wins 28-25, over bets would win because 28+25=53, and that’s over 45.5 points.

Prop betting at FanDuel sports betting

When you click on an individual contest at FanDuel, all the available prop bets will appear. Props are merely wagers on a particular aspect of a game, like whether a player will hit a home run (baseball), score a touchdown (football) or record a triple-double (basketball).

Futures bets

When you click on a specific league at FanDuel, you will see headers at the top if there are futures wagers available for that league. For instance, clicking “MLB” will show that there are baseball futures for the next World Series winner, league winners, division winners and player futures. For individual players, you’ll be able to wager on the MVP and Cy Young for both leagues.

Parlays and more

At FanDuel you can create parlay, teaser and round robin bets. As an example of a parlay, suppose you choose four football spread bets, all with -110 odds. A parlay groups all of them into a single wager. Your odds for this four-leg parlay would be +1228, and a $10 bet would win around $122.80. If you get any of the single games incorrect, though, you win nothing.

Maybe you wish the betting lines for the games were a little more favorable, so you choose a teaser, instead. You choose the “+4 points” option, which adjusts the line for all four bets by four points in your favor. It also lowers the odds to +333. A $10 bet now results in a $33 profit, and you still need to get all four bets right.

If you want some more wiggle room, you can choose a round robin. You’ll see options for “By 2’s x6” and “By 3’s x4.” The first selection means you’ll make six two-game parlays, the second means four three-game parlays. Either way, if one of your selections misses, now you’ll still win some money.

Live betting at FanDuel

By clicking the “Live Now” header, you can see every game that is in progress that you can bet on at FanDuel. With live betting, odds will change much more rapidly than is the case with pregame wagering. Just like pregame betting, you can click on each game and see all your available betting choices. There also will be a video animation keeping you up to date with what is happening in that particular game.
