You may have heard the term ‘prop bets’ or ‘props’ in relation to gambling on sports events. What does it mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is our guide to prop betting. You’ll learn what it is, how it works and – if you play your cards right – how you can make money through such wagers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some prop bets are just a bit of fun, but to serious gamblers they are a tool for potential profit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A prop bet, short for \u2018proposition\u2019, is when you bet on whether something will or won\u2019t happen. Chances are you\u2019ve made one before.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI bet you $5 you can\u2019t get a hole in one!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI bet you $20 you can\u2019t eat three KFC Family Buckets, plus the sides!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n One famous pop culture example of a prop is from beloved British sitcom Only Fools and Horses<\/em>. Del Boy, the wheeler-dealer market trader with the gift of the gab, gets out of paying for a round of drinks at his local pub, The Nag\u2019s Head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He bets the\nlandlord, Mike, that he can make him turn his hands over without touching them.\nWhen Mike holds out his hands, Del Boy says: \u201cNo, the other way\u201d. Mike turns\nhis hands over, so Del Boy wins the bet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This\nillustrates prop betting nicely. If the proposition made happens just as you\nsay it will in the bet, then you get a return on the money you staked on the\nwager. Any other outcome means you lose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that\nyou understand the basics of prop betting, how does this apply to sports? <\/p>\n\n\n\n A prop bet could be any wager made on a sports event that isn\u2019t directly related to the final result. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It could be outcomes based on individual performance, team discipline, statistics or timeliness of something happening in a game or match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The type of\nprop bets offered depends on the sport in question. <\/p>\n\n\n\nProp Bets\nIn Sports<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
