Bet types - Speciality bets

There are far too many speciality bets on offer to be able to list them all. A great many of them centre on one specific event and offer some sort of bonus or particularly attractive offer, usually to try and generate new business. However, there are a range of speciality bets that are offered more regularly, such as the following:

Double Result - This is a bet to predict who will be leading at the end of the first half (i.e. the home team, the away team, or a draw) and who will win the match. Both predictions must be correct to win. A draw is a valid outcome for both halves.

There are nine possible outcomes (where H = home team, A = away team, D = draw):
H-H, H-D, H-A, D-H, D-D, D-A, A-H, A-D, A-A

Correct Score - This bet is based on the actual score of the game at the end of regulation time. You have to predict the actual score correctly for your bet to win.

Example line:
Manchester United to win Draw Arsenal to win
1 - 0 6/1 0 - 0 9/2 1 - 0 7/1
2 - 0 7/1 1 - 1 6/1 2 - 0 8/1
2 - 1 7/2 2 - 2 7/1 2 - 1 9/2

All bets are for the full 90 minutes of regulation time, if a match is tied (1-1, for example) at the end of 90 minutes, all bets placed on the game to end in a 1 -1 draw would be winners @ 6/1. All bets on any other score are losers.

Tournament bets - In a tournament, a number of participants are all competing to come first and therefore win the tournament. Competitions, leagues, races and championships are also classed as tournaments. In the US, tournaments are known as futures.

Side bets - A bet on the side is a bet in US sports to predict who will win the game, and is usually handicapped.

Total - This is a bet to predict whether the combined score of both teams will go either over or under the total figure nominated by the oddsmaker. If the combined final score falls on the total specified, it is classed as a push, in which case the bet is considered void, and your stake is refunded.

Runline - This is a bet to predict which team will score the highest number of runs in a game of baseball. This bet is handicapped, with the underdog always given +1.5 points advantage. If the final score, taking into account the handicap, is a tie (known as a push), the bet is considered void, and your stake is refunded.

Ante post betting - Mainly available in horse racing, ante post bets are wagers on future events, usually permissible up to the day preceeding the event.
