A futures bet is a bet in an event where there are many competitors, sometimes made considerably before the event takes place. Futures are most common in events like motor racing, NASCAR, horse racing, or golf, among others. Futures are also posted in major competitions, like Major League Baseball and the NFL, at the start of the season, where players can get better odds on a team in which they have confidence than they would get later in the season. Because of the number of competitors, futures bets offer larger payouts. The larger payoffs are offset by the increased difficulty of picking a winner.
More About Futures Betting
This bet applies to Football, Basketball, Baseball and Ice Hockey. Futures are a single wager on the outcome of an event that will be determined sometime in the future.
For Example:
It might be a bet made at the start of the season on Dallas Cowboys to win the Super Bowl. Futures odds change continuously throughout the season – YOU GET THE ODDS IN EFFECT AT THE TIME YOU BET. Futures bets often attract (high) odds to the bettor. An If Win wager is an excellent choice for money management. You wager a fixed amount on one team if that team wins or the game is tied, then another fixed amount -up to the original amount- shall be placed on a different team. Your first wager must win in order for you to have action on the remaining wagers. If the first wager loses, there is No Action thereafter. You cannot have duplicate teams in the same If Win wager.
