What kind of bets can I make at BetMGM?

In this section of the review, we’ll break down exactly how sports betting at BetMGM works. The site is open to moneylines, spreads, totals, futures, props, and more – so there’s plenty to try your hand at. If you’d prefer to place multi-leg bets, parlays, teasers, and round robins are also available.

Here’s an example listing at BetMGM Florida.

Spread Total Moneyline Philadelphia Eagles +4.0. (-110) Under 51.5 (-110) +185 Atlanta Falcons -4.0 (-110) Over 51.5 (-110) -215

Which team is the favorite and which is the underdog?

It’s likely you already know the favorite of a game, but you can also use the sportsbook odds given by BetMGM to determine this. If a team is listed with a negative moneyline and spread, they’re the favorite. Underdogs are listed with positive moneyline and spread figures. In this case, the Falcons are considered to be the favorite.

How do I figure out what the odds mean?

Here’s a breakdown of how each of the main bet types work at BetMGM. We’ll take you through what each number in the grid means, and how to place your bets. The moneyline is the odds on which team will win. The Falcons have odds of -215, meaning you would have to bet $215 to receive $100 in winnings, plus your wager back. In the case of the Eagles, the money line odds are positive, a figure of +185. This means that if you were to bet $100 on the underdog, you would win $185 back (plus your original $100).

Explain point-spread betting

Here, you’re wagering on the margin of victory between the Eagles and the Falcons. In the example above, the Falcons need to win by more than four points and the Eagles would need to lose by less than four points, or win outright, to cover the spread.

What about the total?

Also referred to as over/unders, this is a bet on the total number of points you think will be scored by both teams as a collective. If the Falcons versus Eagles game ended, 29-26, the total number of points would be 55. In the case above, those betting on the over would win.

BetMGM also has a good range of props on its desktop site and app. These are tied to events that may happen throughout the course of the game, rather than the actual outcome. The most common props are player props at this sportsbook. However, you can also place team props and game props. Select a game and use the tabs at the top of the page to browse through your betting options.

Creating multi-bets at BetMGM Sports

Making two or more selections at BetMGM and tying them together under the same wager will create a parlay or a teaser. Make three or more selections to create a round robin. All you’ll need to do is choose your bets, and add them to your betslip. Once there, you’ll see tabs to create multiple leg bets. You will need to win each leg of the bet to collect winnings, unless you’ve opted-in to an offer like parlay insurance.

Placing futures wagers at BetMGM

Futures are a good way to look ahead to the end of the sporting season. When you select a league at BetMGM, you can scroll down to select the Futures tab — the list of available bets will be much longer pre-season. Wager on the championship winners, division winners, and other long-term outcomes under the futures tab, ahead of the season. You can also place futures on particular players, such as the player to score the most points, or the player to win MVP.

Live betting on the BetMGM Sports app

There’s a “Live” button in the BetMGM main navigation bar that will redirect you to all live betting available on the site. It’s pretty well laid out. You can choose your sport at the top of the page, then all available events will appear for you to bet on. Click on the ‘Live Streaming’ button to watch games as they play out.
