Instead of betting on who would win between the Ravens and Patriots, an example of a prop bet would be “How many passing yards will Lamar Jackson have?” The options in this case would be Over or Under the posted total. Almost any bet on a game, with the exception of point spread, total and moneyline, can be considered a prop bet. What is a Prop Bet?Ī prop bet is a bet that isn’t made on the result of a game, but on an individual player or event in that game.
Many players now enjoy wagering on props as much, if not more, than on the games themselves. While some prop bets can be just for fun and don’t take much skill, others require as much research as picking the game itself. Prop bets have exploded in popularity over the last few years. Think you know which team will score first in an NFL game, how many passing yards the quarterback back will throw for or the amount of points a certain player will score in tonight’s NBA showdown? Prop bets may become part of your regular wagering strategy.
