How to Place a Straight Bet on Barstool

A straight bet, also known as a single bet or a moneyline bet, is the simplest and most common type of sports bet. It involves betting on the outcome of a single game or match, with the payout determined by the odds assigned to each team or player.

Here are a couple of examples of straight bets:

• NBA: Moneyline bet on the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Miami Heat: A sportsbook may set odds of -150 for the Lakers to win and +130 for the Heat to win. A bettor who wagers $100 on the Lakers would win $66.67 if the Lakers win, while a bettor who wagers $100 on the Heat would win $130 if the Heat win.
• NFL: Point spread bet on the New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys: A sportsbook may set a point spread of +3.5 for the Giants and -3.5 for the Cowboys. A bettor who wagers on the Cowboys would need them to win by more than 3.5 points to win the bet, while a bettor who wagers on the Giants would need them to win or lose by less than 3.5 points to win the bet.
