    USA Sports betting Versus Overseas Sports betting
    Not from the USA, but from everything I have read sports betting in the USA consists of
    either betting The Line or over/Under.

    It also consists of betting say the $110 to win $100 or $1100 to win $1000.

    Whereas overseas betting, Parlays/Multis seem to be the way most betters go and I guess what you guys call prop betting.

    For example betting any amount from $1 to $25000 on say Steven Adams to get a double/double at $4.50.

    I think there are around 160 options you can bet on for any one nba game.


    NZ TAB has a maximum payout of $250K for a multi bet and I think $500K for the day.

    For those from America, do you think the European/Asian/Pacific way of betting is horrible and
    a way of losing money fast.

    Or is it something you think you could get into over time??

    I don't think that much different the legal state books are Euro style for the most part.

      I really like BetMGM so far. I'm not impressed with their odds in cashing out early though. I think the advantage is always for the house on that. I could go into detail but won't at this time. The only nice thing about cashing out early is if you have a close game late in the game (or you are tied late in the game) and you don't like your chances you can get your money back.

        USA wagering is run and owned by Europe so basically the same

        The only unique wagering is offshore

              That's why they don't advertise at SBR. Too many sharps who would carve em up.

                  Mostly opposite. USA books push parlays like crazy and people here love them. And there are at least as many if not more props and derivatives available in the US markets.

                  Generally speaking, parlays are a good way to ensure that you lose more money. And while props can be good, most people bet them terribly.

                    From what I know of European bettors, they apparently are $10 bettors whereas US bettors are big bettors. The Euro books are amazed at how much US gamblers bet on games. That is why they are so interested in getting into the US market.

                    $10 bettors like parlays.

                    When it comes to the books, Euro books seem to like very small bonuses that are easy to beat but do not offer much. Offshore books understand US bettors like big bucks so they offer bigger bonuses that are harder to beat. Those are also riskier.

                        I think it has more to do with US incomes being larger and US being big spenders. Europeans are just more conservative than Americans. And American males are supremely self confident in their own genius.

                          One reason that Euro books have more props is because they do not have to worry about professional or even sharp gamblers. They will only let them bet $10 like everyone else.

                          Books that are open to US gamblers have to worry much more about sharp bettors and sharp bettors are always going over prop bets.
