How to Place a Bet on the FanDuel Sportsbook App

Before we get into how to place a bet on the FanDuel Sportsbook, let’s go over some of the wagers they offer:

Straight Bets

Straight bets are probably the most popular and basic wagers you can make and cover a few different types of bets. They great moves for new bettors.

1) Spread — With the spread you are betting on the margin of victory for either the winner or loser. Pick the favorite (-) or underdog (+).

2) Moneyline — This is a straight up bet on the outcome.

3) Over/Under — Also known as the Total, this wager is on the total amount of points by both teams combined in a particular game.

4) Props — These are bets on events within the game, but not the game itself. There are both individual and team props.

Other Bets

The other popular bets available to FanDuel Sportsbook are parlays and teasers. These combine multiple bets into a single wager. You need all of your bets to hit or you lose.

1) Parlays — This combines two or more bets linked for one larger wager. All bets must win for you to. They tend to pay out higher as they’re tougher to win.

2) Teasers — Teasers allow you to move the spread or the total a certain amount of points over multiple bets. Again all must hit in order for you to win. These tend to pay out lower amounts.

3) Futures — These are bets you can place on future events. An example would be the 2022 World Series Champions or who will win this year’s Masters golf tournament.

There are also Same Game Parlays which you can “combine multiple bets from one matchup or team into a single parlay,” according to FanDuel Sportsbook. In-game bets allow to place wagers after the game has started.
