YOUR GUIDE TO TENNIS
BETTING AT BOVADA

No matter where your favorite tennis event takes place, the home of tennis betting online is right here
at Bovada. All the Majors are here, including Wimbledon, the U.S. Open, and lots more.Of course, all that action won’t do you a lot of good if you don’t yet understand tennis odds and how to
calculate the amounts and payouts of your bets. Read through this Bovada guide to tennis betting,
and we’ll make sure all your options are clear.

Tennis Moneyline BettingThe simplest bets you can make on tennis are to just pick a winner. That’s essentially what tennis
moneylines let you do. The moneyline itself is just a way of calculating how much you have to bet and
what you win if your wager is correct.These tennis odds show the moneyline in the “Win” column. This is a pretty lopsided matchup, with
Rafael Nadal heavily favored over Laslo Djere. Because Nadal is expected to win, the moneyline
reflects this. Betting $20,000 on him wins you $100.Yes, that’s right.Because Rafa is considered such a lock, these online tennis betting odds are heavily adjusted. On the
other hand, a $100 bet on Djere, if correct, wins you $2,000 from the Bovada sportsbook. That’s a
pretty insane return on your money, but remember, it’s a super longshot.Tennis moneylines also show you how underdog and favorite odds payouts work.If there’s a minus sign, you’re betting that amount to win $100. If there’s a plus sign, you’re betting a
hundred to win that amount. Of course, you don’t have to bet exactly those amounts – this is just a
way of showing you how to calculate the possible payout. A $10,000 bet on Nadal, if he wins, brings
you $50.Cut the bet in half and you cut the potential money you win in half.Betting the Spread in TennisBetting the spread in tennis at the Bovada sportsbook is a little different. Now you’re betting on how
much a player will win or lose by.These tennis odds have the spread at 10.5, which essentially means that you can bet on whether
Nadal will win 11 more games than Djere or not. Let’s say the final sets for each player look like this:Nadal 6 6 6Djere 0 1 1Nadal has won 18 games, and Djere only 2. Nadal has won 16 more games than Djere. With our tennis
odds above, Nadal would have covered the spread, which only had a differential of 10.5 games. Djere
would beat the spread if the final sets looked like this:Nadal 6 6 6Djere 2 3 3Here Djere has racked up a respectable 8 games to Nadal’s 18. The difference is now 10. This is a half
game shy of the 10.5 spread. A $100 bet on Djere at +135 there would win you $135.Not bad.

Now we’re betting on the total number of games for both players combined. Here’s a possible final
result:Nadal 6 6 6Djere 2 3 3Nadal has 18 games, and Djere has 8. Together, their combined total is 26. The line on the tennis odds
total above is at 25.5. If you bet the over at -110, you’d have just won. If the two players had played one
less game for a total of 25 games, the under would have been the winning bet at the Bovada sportsbook.Tennis totals are the kind of bet you make online when you want to predict whether a match will be 1) a
long, drawn out battle or 2) a quick execution.Team Parlay BettingA parlay is a way to combine a number of events that you’ve seen tennis betting odds for. Instead of betting
on just one match, for example, you can bet on multiple matches and link the bets together.Let’s say you’re confident about the result of three matchups on a given Saturday. Instead of betting
them separately, you can combine them in a tennis parlay superbet and try to boost your winnings
by a bunch.The way it works is that a parlay only wins you money if each of your predictions is correct. If just one
match prediction is wrong, the parlay fails. You have to get them all right to get that big payday. It’s a
bigger risk that carries the possibility of greater reward.For the true fortune tellers who can really see the future, 10- and 12-event parlays can be created
from among your online options. There’s really nothing quite like sweating out each event as the parlay
goes along, seeing if your courage is going to send you into the penthouse… or the doghouse.

Tennis Props BettingProposition bets or “props” give you the chance to get tennis odds on a variety of different things in a
tennis match. You can get on which player will win a particular game, or even the next point, if you’re
putting in bets on a match that’s live. There’s also tennis betting odds on the first player to reach a
particular number of games won, as well as odds and lines on exact scores for each set.Whatever way you want to handle tennis betting online, the Bovada sportsbook has probably got it
covered with about a dozen different options.Tennis Futures BettingOne additional way to bet on
tennis online is to head to the futures section. There you can bet on upcoming events, including the player
that will be the overall champion of a tournament that ismonths away.Nadal, Djokovic, and Thiem are the clear favorites among these options, available at +120, +225, and
+400, respectively. Down at the bottom of the tennis odds, you’ll find the longshots. A tiny $20 bet on
Goffin, if he managed to win it all, would get you a whopping $3,000.Tempted?

HOW TO BET ON LIVESPORTS
AT BOVADA

We all know that you can bet on a sporting event. But with modern Bovada sports betting, you can bet
all the way through the game, if you want to. It’s a little thing called “live betting,” and it makes pretty
much any game more exciting than ever before.How many times have you been watching a game and wished you could make a new bet on it at
Bovada? Maybe you want to double down on your prediction because it looks to be a lock. Or maybe
you’ve realized that your first bet solid, but you want to go in the other direction with a hedge that has
attractive odds. Or it could be that new facts have come to light and you’re ready for a fresh wager.No matter what makes you want to get in another bet, at Bovada, betting live on sports is totally open
from start to finish.

How Live Betting Works Online OverallYou may already know where the sports betting Bovada offers can be found. If not, just click the word
“Sports” at the top of the website. You can then get to live sports betting two ways. One is to click the
antenna icon with the radio waves that says “Live.” The other is to click into your favorite sport and scroll
down to see games that have a yellow “Live” box next to them.Once you’re into a match, a whole new set of betting options opens up. If you looked at the Bovada betting
line before the game started, you may see that it’s changed! Lines move throughout the game as events take
place – teams scoring, players going down with injuries, and even the volume of bets going in on a particular
side of a wager. One team may start the game as a favorite, but go down two scores and suddenly find itself a
moneyline underdog in the Bovada sports betting odds. But if you happen to know that the team in question
is always good for a point or two later in the game, an exciting betting opportunity just opened up, right?That’s how it works!Live Betting FootballIn football, after the kickoff, the action begins. So why not kickoff four quarters of Bovada betting at the first
whistle, too? That’s what we’re all about.Live betting football at Bovada usually offers changing moneyline bets first. Here you can see the odds
update in real time as each down and drive brings one team closer to a victory, and another team yards
further away. Even as you review the odds, you’ll see them change, so if you find odds you like, get your slip
confirmed fast to lock in a smart bet.

You may also be offered a selection of spreads and moneylines if you’d like to bet on different odds. There will
be a different price for each, giving you more choices and the ability to find the bet you like best.You’ll see other familiar bets updating as the downs go on, like over/unders and total points for each team.
For live football sports betting, Bovada also offers a number of prop bets like the outcome of the current
drive, or whether a team will get a first down on a particular set of downs.If you’ve got a hunch or you’re aware of a team or player’s tendencies, keep an eye on the live football bet section. Make all those hours you spent keeping up with football pay.Live Betting BasketballRight from the tip, Bovada sports betting on basketball takes game watching to a whole new level. Before the
game started, you no doubt had an idea of who was going to win. But let’s say that, by the end of the first
quarter, it’s clear that one team’s hot shooter is ice cold (and not in a good way). That’s a great time to head to
the live basketball section of the Bovada betting portal and see how the odds have changed.Like football, you’ll first see the moneyline bets available. Here’s an example from the Turkish Basketball
League:

Kocaeli is up by 15 points, and is the overall favorite. You could bet the 11.5 point spread at -120 (shown in the
Spread column). This means that a bet of $120 will win you a hundred bucks if Kocaeli wins by 12 points or
more.You could also bet the moneyline on an outright winner. These odds are found in the Win column. Kocaeli is
up by a good amount on the scoreboard, and so it’s likely that they will win. They are favored at -1100, which
means that a bet of $1,100 wins you $100 if Kocaeli holds on to the final buzzer and wins.On the other hand, if you think Balikesir is going to go on a big run, you might bet that +475 underdog line. A
hundred dollar bet wins you $475 if Balikesir scoring leader Myles Mack (from Paterson, New Jersey) gets a
hot hand and starts making it rain overseas, carrying his team to a late win.You can also bet the over under, which updates regularly, and also wager on “Race To” prop bets, where you can choose which team will be the first to get 10, 15, or 20 buckets in a quarter.When it comes to sports betting, Bovada keeps it fresh.Live Betting HockeyDid a key player just get sent to the box? Is a high-octane line change coming up? Are the fans going rabid?
No matter what’s going on, Bovada betting offers live hockey bets that make one of the world’s most
underrated sports even more exciting to watch. You’ll probably be glued to the NHL, so let’s check out an
example from North America’s major league.Here the Devils are going head to head with the Sabres. The Bovada sports betting moneyline favors Buffalo
at -165, so your $165 bet gets you $100 if Buffalo comes out on top. Betting $100 on New Jersey gets you
$125 though if they can put together a win. You can also bet on a draw, both at the end of the game and at
the end of the first period, using the 3-Way Moneyline bets also shown.When you’re doing some sports betting, Bovada almost always offers over/unders. Here, you have your
choice of three different totals:It’s very likely that there will be more than 2 goals in this game, so betting the over costs $900 to win just
$100. If you’re ballsy enough to bet the under, though, you could score a serious payday if neither team is
able to put the puck in the net.Once you get up to 6 goals, things are different. Betting $100 on the over could win you $400 if the game
becomes a shootout. There are a ton of prop bets available here, too. Check out the Highest Scoring Period
section:When this screenshot was taken, there was half a minute to go in the first period and the score was zero-
zero. A $100 bet on that being the highest scoring period would win you $8,000 if a team managed to score
before time expired and that was their highest scoring period. A crazy bet, for sure, but maybe you feel a goal
coming on? Could be a major win.Other props include betting on the exact number of goals scored, which team would score the first goal, and the margin of victory for each team.Bovada sports betting on hockey games has a ton of variety.Live Betting BaseballBaseball has a huge amount of downtime, so it’s a perfect opportunity for some live betting as the game progresses and new information comes in. Like with the other kinds of sports betting, Bovada will continuously update the odds as the innings roll by. This means that when an ace is sitting down batter after batter, you’ll have a chance to make a fresh wager based on that news. Or if a hitter can’t even find the ball to hit a foul, you can work with that.It’s all about adapting on the fly.The props with Bovada betting on live baseball usually give you a chance to let your knowledge shine. You
may be able to bet on the pitcher who will have the most strike outs, the team to score first, whether the
game will have extra innings, or which team will score first. Keep an eye on the odds as they change, and
strike when you see a bet that’s irresistible.Live Betting SoccerMore than many other games, you’ll get a feel for how a soccer match is going to go by watching it closely.
Bovada sports betting almost requires watching the game and staying engaged if you want the best results
from your live bets, but soccer is on a different level. While other sports will have a lot of metrics going that
reveal the probability of the outcomes, soccer can have a ton of back and forth without any goals recorded.
Only someone who is glued to the game can tell you that one midfielder is owning the pitch, and it’s only a
matter of time before an attack succeeds.For matches like that, Bovada betting on soccer provides an opportunity to cash in.Let’s check out an example game from the English Premier League:Everton and Newcastle are in the first half and no one has found the back of the net yet. Newcastle is being offered as a +475 underdog. A hundred dollar wager will win you a whopping $475 if they can carry the day. On the flip side, Everton is a solid favorite at -150. Your $150 bet will win you a cool hundred if the expected winner pulls it off and gets another W.But what if you want to bet on spreads? Well, we’ve got some options:If you want to bet a full goal spread instead of a half goal, you’ve got that option. As you can see, taking
Everton at a .5 goal spread has “favored” odds. The full goal is an “underdog” bet. It seems most likely that
the final score of the game will have a one goal difference, according to the statistics.Further down the page, there’s tons of bets available on the over/under, as well as each team’s total goals:Looks like everyone is expecting a final score of Everton 2, Newcastle 1, and so you can bet accordingly.For this live soccer sports betting, Bovada also offers some props. These include guessing the correct score,
whether each team will have a clean sheet (prevent the other team from scoring any goals), which team will
score first, total corner kicks, total bookings (red and yellow card penalties handed out), and even whether a
particular player will score a goal.Don’t get drunk and bet on the goalie, no matter how tantalizing the odds look.

LEARN HOW TO BET ON GOLF

You’ve probably already bet on other individual sports like Tennis or Hockey, but are still curious about how to bet on Golf? You’ve come to the right place. Bovada has a ton of golf odds and betting opportunities all in the dedicated golf section of our sportsbook. There you can check out PGA golf odds on futures, head to head, 3-ball, and even live events. There’s golf betting from around the world, and it’s all teeing off at Bovada.Of course, you need to know how these things work so that you can make smart picks. That’s why we created this “how to bet on golf” guide – to cover the basic concepts you’ll need to know to read PGA golf odds, understand betting slips, and make money while pro golfers make their way around the world’s best courses.Let’s break down exactly how golf betting works, starting with futures bets.

Golf Futures BettingFutures betting revolves around events that will take place in the future. Sometimes these are months away (as opposed to an event happening on the day you place the bet). One very popular bet type is to place a wager on the golfer who will win the next Masters.Here’s an example of what those golf odds might look like at the Bovada sportsbook:

The PGA golf odds you see here have Dustin Johnson as the “favorite.” Even as a frontrunner, he’s only
available at +700 because the field of picks is so large. This means that betting $100 wins you $700 of profit if
Dusty puts on the green jacket at the end of the tournament. If the odds had a -700 there instead, it would
reverse the calculation. That is, your bet of $700 would win you $100. That’s the effect of the plus or minus
sign, so keep a close eye on it.These Masters odds include a ton of players, including huge longshots, so if you want to see the full slate of
picks available, head to the Bovada Masters sportsbook page. Maybe you’re feeling crazy and in the mood for
betting on Fred Couples at +75,000?Please note that, under the Bovada official golf betting rules, futures bets like these have action whether a
golfer tees off at the course or not.

Head-to-Head Golf BettingLet’s narrow down the field for our next set of PGA golf odds. In head to head betting, you get to choose
which of two golfers will have a better score at the end of an event, day, or round.As you can see, Brendan Steele is a -135 favorite. Your bet of $135 gets you $100 should Steele shoot
a better score in the second round of the event. On the other side, Stewart Cink is available at +105. Your
$100 bet gets you $105 should he have the better score of the two.As we show these calculations, keep in mind the fact that you don’t have to bet these amounts exactly. The
PGA golf odds you see in these moneyline bets just show you how to calculate your potential profit if you win.
In the above example, your $50 bet on Cink would get you $52.50 if it were a winner.In head to head golf betting, both players have to tee off at the course or the bet is void. A tie also voids bets.
In that case, your money is returned to you.3-Ball Golf BettingThe details of 3-ball golf betting are laid out at the Bovada golf betting rules page. For this kind of betting,
the player with the lowest score wins, and all players must tee off for there to be action. If there’s a tie, Dead
Heat rules apply.These PGA golf odds have Adam Hadwin as the favorite, with identical odds on Schwartzel and McCarthy. If
you bet on Hadwin and he scores lowest on the round, your $100 wins you $135. For the other two players,
your bet wins you even more profit, but it’s riskier.You can also find bets like this on the Bovada Masters odds page around the dates that the event is live
(traditionally in April).

Live Golf BettingAs events take place, PGA golf odds at Bovada update in real time. This means that with every drive, chip, and
putt, the odds on each player are changing. While someone might have looked strong before an event began,
we all know that things can change dramatically over the course of a day; if a player is either having an off
performance or is absolutely on fire, dropping birdies on every hole.That’s why Bovada offers live betting – to allow you to place bets right in the thick of a golf event.Live golf betting at Bovada offers you a variety of bets. In addition to 3-balls that let you bet on the winner of
three-way matchups, you’ll see all kinds of other betting opportunities. These include betting on the best
player of a region (e.g. Top Asian Player, Top Australian Player, and Top European Player).You might also see prop-style live golf bets, like whether a
player will have a bogey-free round, whether a player will make the cut, or whether a player will
finish in the top 10 or 20, or whether certain players will shoot under a certain score.No matter how you want to bet it, the Bovada sportsbook has a way for you to get in on all the golf betting
action you want. From Masters odds, to PGA golf odds, to odds on events around the world, it’s all here.Your tee time is now!

A GUIDE TO BETTING ON BOXING

A good old fashioned fist fight keeps us glued to the screen, but what really brings us out of our seats is having money riding on a match. At Bovada, boxing betting online is pretty easy, once you get the hang of the basic terminology. Just like boxing itself, there’s some key concepts to learn before you get in the ring with real money bets. That’s why we created this guide to betting on boxing.Below we’ll cover moneyline boxing odds, totals, method of victory, fight length, and other tips to help you survive 12 rounds in the boxing betting section at Bovada. Armed with this info, you’ll be ready to go toe-to-toe with any wager you find.

Here we have the ridiculous matchup of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. taking on YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul. The moneyline has Floyd as a heavy favorite at -1400. This means that you need to wager $1,400 dollars to win $100 with these lines. Logan Paul is a big underdog at +750. If he manages to pull off a win, though, bets of $100 win a whopping $750.In general, that’s how boxing odds payout calculations work.If you see a minus sign, you bet that amount to win a hundred.If you see a plus sign, you bet a hundred to win that amount.Betting on favorites takes a bunch of money and pays out less.Betting on underdogs takes less to bet but pays out more if you’re right.That said, we really don’t want to see Logan Paul win a boxing match against Floyd Money, no matter what the lines are. The memes have gone too far already.

Boxing Total OddsSportsbooks like Bovada that report boxing odds may also have total bets available. Totals are also known in boxing betting online as the “over/under.” In boxing, you’re sometimes offered the option to bet on how many rounds the match will last. If the over under line is set at 7.5, for example, you’re betting money on whether the match will go more than 7.5 rounds, or less. If someone scores a knockout in the 7th, the under wins. If the magic punch doesn’t come until the 8th, the overs would have it.Pretty straightforward stuff.Boxing Method of Victory OddsMethod of victory betting on boxing at Bovada gives you a chance to place bets on how the match will end. Boxing odds can be given on the two basic outcomes like 1) knockouts (a fighter being rendered unconscious) and 2) TKOs (technical knockouts, where a fighter is not knocked out, but takes a standing ten count and the referee ends the fight).Boxing betting online also allows you to place real money bets on decision victories (unanimous, split, or majority) for fights that go the distance and make it to the end of the 12th round. Instead of betting on which fighter will win at Bovada, you’re now betting on how the match will end.For a few basic betting tips:

Boxing Fight Length OddsBoxing betting online at Bovada on fight length is another type of totals betting. Here your fight length bet centers on how long the match goes. Boxers generally fight for 12 rounds, so if you think that a power puncher will be ending things quickly, check what boxing odds you can get for betting the under.If, on the other hand, you’re expecting someone to spend most of the match running away and tying up their opponent, fight length betting on the over might be best.Boxing Betting TipsBoxing lines at sportsbooks and gambling sites take a number of factors into account, but our top tip at Bovada sportsbook is still to do your homework if you want to win money. You’re probably already doing it anyway if you’re here and getting ready to bet on boxing, but it bears repeating. It’s best to know a good amount about a boxing match and the fighters in it before you place a wager.The man is a -5,000 favorite. Risking $5,000 of your hard-earned money gets you just $100 in potential profit. It’s about as close to a sure thing as you can get. That said, there’s a tiny chance of Yildirim pulling off a miracle. There always is, in sports. But let’s breakdown the boxing odds here.Canelo is fighting solely because he needs to take on a fighter who is technically the #1 contender in the WBC in order to retain his belt. One of boxing’s most legendary counterpunchers is being served up a fighter who hasn’t scored a victory since 2018. From all of this homework, we can guess a few things that impact how we’d handle boxing betting online for this one.We don’t expect Yildirim to last very long. Against superior opposition, it wouldn’t be at all surprising to see a knockout in earlier rounds. This gives bettors a game plan for a number of different bets. Of course, we can’t make any recommendations either way, but you can see how knowing more about a matchup (even a silly one like this) can reveal a few probabilities that have an effect on how to bet the match.You can find better matchups at Bovada in the boxing section of our sportsbook. If all the action of Boxing is not your cup of tea, there are more elegant sports that you can place your bets on like Tennis or Golf at Bovada. Happy betting!

HOW TO BET ON NHL HOCKEY

Watching the NHL’s best players smash each other into the boards for three periods is a great time, but putting a wager on the game makes things even more exciting. At Bovada, we’ve got hockey betting in a bunch of different forms, including moneylines, totals, pucklines, futures, and even live bets on games as they happen.Of course, all those hockey bets won’t be any good to you at sportsbooks if you’re not up on terminology and how hockey odds work, so we put together this basic guide let you know how to bet on NHL hockey games. After a quick read, you’ll be ready to lace up your skates and get right into the NHL betting mix on Bovada.Let’s drop a puck on this bad boy and start with the moneyline.

The moneyline for a game at Bovada sportsbook is found in the “Win” column. The favorite is indicated by a minus sign. Here it’s the Lightning at -330. The Red Wings look to be in for a rough night as an underdog at +265. Now it’s time to bet on the winner.If you wager on the Lightning to win and they prevail, your bet of $330 on that game wins you $100.If you wager on the Red Wings to pull off an upset, your $100 bet earns you a nice profit of $265.It’s safer to bet on the favorite, so the reward is smaller. A gutsy bet on the underdog is less likely to pay off, but the potential winnings are larger.One quick note on calculations with minus signs and plus signs in hockey games:If there’s a minus sign on your hockey odds, indicating the favorite, you bet that dollar amount to win a hundred.If there’s a plus sign, on the other hand, indicating the underdog, you bet a hundred to win that dollar amount.That’s how hockey bets work (other Bovada hockey betting rules are here).Now, grab a quick drink and we’ll get into totals betting on hockey games.

The total column is at the end, showing 5.5 as the number of points to consider. If you think the teams will have more than 5.5 points at the end of the game, you can take the over at -120. If you think it will be less, you can take the under. These hockey odds from the Bovada sportsbook would give you an even money profit if you were correct.If the final score is 4-2, the total points equal 6, and the over would be the winning bet. If the final score is 3-4, on the other hand, the under would be a winner.How to Bet on NHL PucklinesPucklines are the spreads of hockey bets. Here you’re not just betting on which team will win or lose, but how much a particular team will win or lose by. The Spread column in our example has the puckline at 1.5 points.If the favored Lightning win by 2 goals or more, they’ve “covered the puckline” and $125 bets on them would win $100.If the Red Wings keep it to just a single goal loss, or even manage to pull off a win, a $100 bet on that team would return $105.Hockey betting on pucklines exists at sportsbooks because it’s a bit less risky than picking a winner outright. Here you’ve got a point differential to serve as a buffer. This type of action at Bovada gives people a way to bet on a game where they think a particular team will lose, but perhaps not get crushed.

How to Bet on NHL FuturesThe first drop-down menu at the top of Bovada’s hockey betting window has the option to select futures bets. There you’ll find a number of events that take place in the future (as opposed to a given day’s games). Futures hockey bets include things like betting on which team will be the Stanley Cup winner, which team will be the division winner, which player will be the league MVP, which player will be the points leader, and so on.Hockey odds on NHL futures typically revolve around things that will take some time to play out, thus the name “futures.” If you’ve got a hunch about a team that’s going to win it all, this is your home at Bovada for online hockey bets like that.How to Bet on NHL Live BettingMost people are familiar with placing hockey bets at Bovada on games before they start, but NHL live betting lets you keep betting all throughout the game if the hockey odds look good. Each event in a hockey game can have an impact on the live hockey lines. Every goal that’s scored typically causes the odds to update, and you may see something you just can’t resist. You can usually bet on the outcome of particular periods and find other live proposition or “prop” bets too, like which team will score next, or who will score the first goal.There’s a ton of ways to enjoy hockey betting at Bovada. The next time a puck is dropping for your team, head here and get your bets in. Until then, we’ll keep the action on ice for you!Until then, checkout the other Team Sports you can bet on at Bovada. Like Football or Basketball.

GUIDE TO BETTING ON NBA BASKETBALL

A close NBA basketball game will have you out of your seat as both teams race to be the last to score before the final buzzer. Basketball betting at Bovada cranks up the fun even more, and there’s so many different kinds of bets: moneyline, spreads, totals, props, parlays, teasers, futures…But if you don’t know how these bet types work and how to read basketball odds and basketball lines, you’re going to wind up warming the betting bench all season.Let’s get you up to speed and out on the floor. The next bets may be tipping off right now!

You’ll find the spread in the first column over on the right side. The top rows have the overall game spreads, while the others below have first half and first quarter spreads you can bet on.These NBA basketball odds are split into two sets of numbers. The first thing to know is that minus signs indicate favored teams and plus signs indicate underdogs. Here, the Celtics’ row has a spread of -3 points. If you bet on the Celtics to cover the spread, they need to win by 4 points or more for you to win money. If the final score has the Celtics winning by 98-96, they did not cover the spread and your wager would lose.But let’s say the final score had the Warriors blown out 104-82. In that case, you’d want to know how much money you won, right? That’s what the (-115) next to the Celtics’ -3 is telling you. A bet of $115 wins you $100 here.It’s a basic sports betting concept:Minus sign? Bet that dollar amount to win a hundred.Plus sign? Bet a hundred to win that dollar amount.With that in mind, let’s say you bet on the Warriors at +3 (-105) and they actually pull off a one point win at the buzzer. They didn’t lose by three or more points (in fact, they won), so your bet was correct. Your $105 bet wins you $100. It was almost even money with these basketball lines.Speaking of which…

Basketball MoneylineAs you can see, the Celtics are favored in this game, and are more likely to win than the Warriors. For that reason, the basketball lines in the “Win” column show them as a -155 favorite. The Warriors are a +135 underdog. Using our little rule from above, we can figure out what each bet pays according to Bovada’s basketball odds.A $155 bet on the Celtics to win pays you $100 if they manage to top the Warriors. On the other hand, a $100 bet on the Warriors gets you $135 if they earn this win at home.Underdog bets are riskier, and so the payout is larger. Betting on favored teams is less risky, and so the payout is reduced. Also, one important thing to note is that you don’t have to bet the amount listed. Instead, it’s just a simple way to calculate your payout. A correct $200 bet on the Warriors would get you $270, for example.Now let’s cover totals.Basketball TotalsBovada offers basketball odds on totals as a way of letting you bet on the combined score of the two teams playing the game.The above NBA game example has an over/under of 224.5, which means that you’re betting on whether the Celtics’ final score, plus the Warriors’ final score, will be over or under 224.5 points. Let’s say you think no one will be playing defense in this game and it will be a total shootout. In that case, you take the over from these basketball odds at (-110), and the final score comes in 113-112. Looks like you just made it, because 113+112 is 225, a half-point more than 224.5. Your $110 bet would win you $100, or your $55 bet would get you $50.

Basketball PropsProps let you bet on lots of different things in an NBA game: the player with the most points, how many blocked shots a player will have, total rebounds, steals a team will get, and tons of other things. No matter what
part of the game you like best or are most knowledgeable about, proposition bets give you a way to get action on it at Bovada.Basketball ParlaysParlays are combination bets. If you are feeling confident that your next four picks for NBA game winners will be correct, you can combine them into a parlay. If all picks are right, you win a lot more than you would have by betting the events individually. But if a single pick is wrong, the whole parlay fails.With great risk comes great reward! The legends of basketball betting usually have a story about a crazy 10-item parlay bet that came in and paid them a ton of cash. More often, they have stories about the times where 8 games were right on and the 9th pick screwed them.Basketball TeasersTeasers are a kind of parlay where you get to adjust the basketball lines on your NBA games to make things more favorable. This takes away some of the risk and also some of the potential payout. In our example game, what if you included the game in a parlay but wanted to bet on a spread of 2 instead of three? You’d tease the spread down a bit. This isn’t always available for all games, but it can be a good way to improve your parlay’s chances of success.Basketball FuturesThe last NBA basketball betting wagers at Bovada to discuss are called futures. Futures are events occurring on a longer time frame than today’s games. The most traditional futures bet is to check out the basketball odds at the beginning of the season and make a bet on who will be the champion at the end of it all.As of this writing, LeBron’s 2020-2021 Lakers are getting the best odds, while a bet on the Timberwolves would pay you an insane 500x your money! Here are all the NBA teams and odds available:

To say you need a miracle for your Timberwolves bet to pay off would be an understatement.If Basketball isn’t your cup of tea, try betting on Football or Boxing! You never know what’s your favorite sport to bet on until you try it.Head to Bovada’s NBA basketball betting section and find your next wager today!

HOW TO BET ON NCAA
BASKETBALL AND MARCH
MADNESS

It’s hard to imagine a more fast-paced and exciting sports betting event than March Madness. NCAA basketball keeps things outrageously lively for most of the season, and then everything culminates in one high-stakes “win or go home” tourney for all the marbles. No matter what your team’s seed is, everyone has a shot to be crowned the champion. From the miracle 16-seeds to the powerhouse 1s, if your team is on that bracket, you’ve got a chance in every game to advanceNCAA basketball betting is too damn fun.But of course, you’ve got to understand some of the basics before you dive in, so we created this helpful guide to teach you how to bet on NCAA basketball and March Madness at Bovada.

What is March Madness?If you don’t know about March Madness, buckle up. We’re about to change your life! This is just about the most electrifying sports tournament in existence. College kids from all over the country will take their school basketball squads and roll up to four regional arenas to battle it out and ultimately crown a national champion.More specifically, at the end of each NCAA college basketball season in March, the top 64 teams are seeded into a tournament bracket with four regions. Each region gets 16 teams, and then the tournament begins. If a team wins a game, it advances. If a team loses, it’s headed home. The winner of each region is then part of the Final Four. From these four, two winners emerge to play for the NCAA national championship.We call it the Big Dance, and everyone wants a ticket.Basketball Spread
The Spread column shows that the NCAA basketball odds spread on the game is at 2.5 points, and USC is favored. If you bet on ‘SC to cover the spread, they would need to beat Stanford by 3 or more points for you to win. If you bet on Stanford instead, they need to a) lose by 2 points or less, or b) get any better outcome for your bet to pay off (that is, if Stanford wins by any amount, your spread bet on Stanford is a winner too).How much do you win? In NCAA basketball betting that’s shown in the parentheses after the spread amount. For USC, the bet goes in at -105. This means that a bet of $105 gets you $100 if you win. If you bet Stanford to beat the spread, it takes a bet of $115 to win $100.If you’ve ever been confused about minus signs and plus signs in online sports betting, here’s a basic tip about odds and lines:Minus sign? Bet that dollar amount to win a hundred.Plus sign? Bet a hundred to win that dollar amount.

Basketball Moneylinen the second column entitled “Win,” we see the betting moneylines. The NCAA basketball odds here have USC favored at -135, which means you bet $135 to win $100. If you thought Stanford had enough juice to pull off a win, you might bet them as an underdog. Your bet of $100 would win you $115 if they managed to prevail.One note about NCAA college basketball betting: you don’t have to bet these amounts exactly. You can bet what you want. These amounts just show how the calculations work when you’re betting your sports picks at gambling sites like Bovada. Your $50 bet on Stanford, if successful, would win you $57.50, for example.Basketball TotalsTotals betting is all about guessing the correct combined amount of points that both teams will have at the end of the game. Our example game has the NCAA basketball lines for the over and under set at 137.5 points. You can then choose to bet whether you think Stanford and USC will combine for more than 137.5 points, or less.

If the final score is 70-71, the total would be 141. With these NCAA basketball odds from Bovada, betting $110 on the over would have won you $100. If you bet the under, you would have needed the teams to stop scoring at 70-67, for a total of 137. Totals picks are one of the few times in college sports betting where you might be yelling at your NCAAB team to score less.How to Bet on A March Madness BracketBovada has betting action for people who want to wager on March Madness overall winners, as well as individual games, props, and parlays. As far as brackets go, though, one of the most fun ways to bet on picks in college sports is to download paper brackets and fill them out with friends. An office pool is a classic way to get in on the action, but your secret weapon can be the Bovada March Madness NCAA basketball odds. Check up on each game and see which sleeper upsets are waiting to trap people who run chalk brackets (brackets overly focused on simply advancing higher seeds in each matchup).You can learn more about how to bet March Madness brackets at Bovada here.March Madness Betting TipsPicking a favored higher seeded-team to win is a simple way to approach March Madness NCAA basketball betting, but it’s not that much fun and it definitely will have you missing some profitable upset picks. Carefully consider those 4-13, 5-12, and 6-11 matchups in particular. They often feature an also-ran team from a major conference against a strong team from a lesser-known one. Many people will sleep on these teams when betting and pay the price, especially if they don’t check the NCAA basketball odds.College basketball betting is exciting, especially around March Madness time. Just like NFL Betting, NCAA Basketball betting is too damn fun. Head to Bovada’s NCAA basketball lines section and see what’s coming up next!

HOW TO BET ON MLB
BASEBALL GUIDE

With each team playing about 162 games every season, MLB baseball betting offers a ton of opportunities to get your wagers in at Bovada. If you’re still getting familiar with terminology and how to calculate baseball odds, you’ve come to the right place. Here we’ll cover the moneyline, runline, total, props, parlays, and futures.No matter which way you want to bet it, Bovada’s got an MLB bet slip with your name on it.

How to Bet on the MoneylineBaseball betting on the moneyline at Bovada is a lot like many other sports. When you click into a particular game, you’ll see a column titled “Win.” Below that, you’ll see some odds. Let’s say that in this online sports betting example, the favorite Los Angeles Dodgers are taking on the underdog Colorado Rockies. The Dodgers are listed in these baseball odds as a -215 favorite, which means that you need to bet $215 to win $100 if the Dodgers come out on top. The Rockies are a +160 underdog, which means that you bet $100 to win $160.Why the different calculations? That’s how the favored minus sign and underdog plus sign work when you’re betting on baseball games.Minus sign? Bet that dollar amount to win a hundred.Plus sign? Bet a hundred to win that dollar amount.By the way, you can bet any amount you want, 100$ is just an easy number to explain the concept.An important wrinkle to keep in mind is “listed pitcher” bets. Often, baseball lines are tied to a particular starting pitcher. You can lock in a bet with a listed pitcher, and the action will only be taken if that pitcher starts. If not, your wager is returned to you. The reason is that most teams have an ace that they’re relying on to carry pitching duties, and the moneyline is contingent on that strong pitcher starting. If that pitcher isn’t on the mound for the first pitch, all bets are off, as they say.

How to Bet on the RunlineYou probably already know the runline by its name in other sports betting contexts: the spread.
Here the baseball lines are set at 1.5 runs. If the favorite wins by 2 runs or more, they’ve covered the runline. A $155 bet on that outcome would win you $100. On the flip side, if the underdog can keep it close and only loses the game by a run (or does better by ending the game with a super-rare tie score or a win), the favorite has not covered the runline. A bet of $100 on that outcome would get you $135 bucks.Looks like that one’s expected to be a fairly tight game, and the baseball odds runline reflects that.How to Bet on the TotalOnline baseball betting on the total at Bovada is pretty simple. You’re gambling on whether the combined scores of both teams will be over or under a given amount.The total line is at 9.5 runs. If the final score in this game is 5-5, the over has won because it’s over 9.5 runs. If the score is 9 runs, the under has won. If the score is exactly 9.5 runs, the dude running the scoreboard needs to stop drinking Night Train during games.So what would these baseball odds win you? Well, betting the over on this game costs $105 to win $100, while the under is available for $125 to win $100. Clearly, the bettors on the game are expecting fewer than 9.5 runs, as that action has pushed deeper into less favorable odds and payoffs.

MLB PropsMLB props (also known as “proposition bets) let you break away from simple game results and open up baseball betting to a number of different things. You can bet on whether there will be a run in the first inning, whether a pitcher will get over or under a certain number of strikeouts, and even bets based on hits+runs+RBIs for a particular batter.Here’s where you can put your hunches about certain players or characteristics of a team to good use. You may not be great at predicting winners or losers in online sports betting, but maybe you have a really good feel for whether a particular pitcher will be on their game or not? These baseball odds cover a bunch of different possibilities, so scroll to the bottom of the Bovada window and give them all a look before locking anything in.MLB ParlaysMLB parlays allow you to combine a number of online sports bets into one super bet. If all of your predictions are correct, you win your parlay. If any one of them is wrong, the parlay fails.The risk with this type of baseball betting at Bovada is greater, but so are the rewards. When you add each event or game to your Bovada bet slip, you’ll sometimes see a button that says “Multiple” become available. Click that to make a parlay, or click the “Single” button to bet each event individually.Keep in mind that getting even just a few games right can be tricky in the wild, wild world of sports betting, so don’t go for that epic 12-game parlay just yet. Get a feel for parlays before chasing legendary wins on a dozen games like that.

MLB FuturesMLB futures are one of the options at the bottom of the drop-down menu on the Bovada baseball betting page. These are events that are happening in the future, as opposed to same day bets that are about to go down. One of the most classic online sports bets is to check out the baseball odds on each team winning the World Series and then picking one to wager on as a futures bet.For many seasons you’ll also see league and division winners available to pick.Online baseball betting on the total at Bovada is pretty simple and similar to other sports like Hockey and Football. So, that’s our guide to betting on MLB baseball. Head to our baseball tab to see upcoming bets available.The next home run could be the one that pays you big time!

YOUR GUIDE TO NFL FOOTBALL BETTING

There’s nothing quite like NFL football betting. While everyone has their favorite sports to gamble on, the NFL is still our most popular league for betting. In fact, for some people, a bet on Super Bowl LVI will be the only bet they place on sports all year!The hardcore gamblers probably don’t need this guide, but if you want to learn the fundamentals and terminology around NFL betting at Bovada, this article is for you. Here we’ll cover the basics of spreads, moneylines, totals, proposition (or “prop” bets), parlays, teasers, and futures.It might all seem confusing now, but by the end of this post, you’ll see that it’s not really that complicated after all. And remember: If NFL players can learn the Belichick’s convoluted offensive playbook in time for the season to start, you can definitely pick up NFL betting vocab.

How to Bet on the SpreadThe simplest kind of bet is a straightforward bet on which team will win. But what if it’s too easy to pick a winner because a team is such a strong favorite? If the Super Bowl-bound 2020 Chiefs were going to play the 2-14 Jets, would you have trouble picking a team to bet on?Of course not!A spread makes it interesting. What if you could bet on whether the Chiefs would win by more than 11 points? Now the bet is a little harder to call. The Chiefs will probably win, but will they cover that spread?That’s what spread betting is all about.Over on the right you have three columns. The first has the spread, which is three points. The Chiefs are the favorite, as indicated by the minus sign before the three. If you bet on the Chiefs to cover the spread, they would have to win by 4 or more for you to get paid. How much do you win? The (-120) next to the -3.0 tells you that. It takes a bet of $120 to win $100.On the flip side, a bet on Super Bowl LVI where you take the spread on the Bucs means you think they will either a) win or b) lose by less than 3 points. If they lose 24-19, they didn’t cover the spread and you’d lose your wager. If they lose 24-22, they covered the spread and you’d win. And if they win at all, you win too!But what if the score difference is exactly 3? Good question. If the final score is 24-21 it’s called a “push” and your wager is returned to you.With these Super Bowl odds, you can also see that the Bucs spread is listed as +3.0 (EVEN). This means that you get “even money” on your bet if you win. Here, you bet $100 to win $100. Nice and straightforward, like a run up the middle.How to Bet on the MoneylineFor our next bet on Super Bowl LVI, let’s get a look at the moneyline.
This is the second column, labeled “Win.” Here you see that the favored Chiefs are at -165. Because they are projected to win, it takes a bet of $165 just to win $100. On the other hand, the Bucs are the underdog, as indicated by the plus sign. There, we flip around our calculation. It takes a bet of $100 to win $145, because betting on the underdog is less likely to pay off.Think of it this way:Minus sign? Bet that dollar amount to win a hundred.Plus sign? Bet a hundred to win that dollar amount.Of course, for these Super Bowl LVl odds, if you think of a team led by Tom Brady as an underdog after all these years, you might need a little evaluation by the team doctor in a concussion protocol. He’s still the very last QB you want to see in the fourth quarter driving up field, trying to make up a deficit.

How to Bet on the TotalTotals betting is also known as betting the over/under. You can bet on how many points both teams will score together, and you can often also bet on how many points each team will rack up individually.The final column has the odds for the total bet. As of this writing, Bovada was offering a bet on whether both teams would score more or less than 56.5 points. If the final score is 38-20, the total combined score would be 58. People who had bet the over would be scrambling to wipe buffalo sauce off their fingers to check their phones and see how much they won. On the other hand, people who bet the under would be pissed that a final field goal by the losing team had wrecked their over/under bet.Super Bowl odds shown there have the over/under both at -110. Your bet of $110 gets you $100. We should note that you don’t have to bet $100 exactly. It’s just easy to show the calculation that way. If you happen to bet $11 and you are correct, you make $10 using these odds.

How to Bet on NFL PropsProposition or “prop” bets are one of the most fun ways to bet on the Super Bowl, and often are silly as hell. Check them out in Bovada’s Super Bowl Specials section.Let’s start with a simple one: what are the Super Bowl LVI odds on the MVP winner in the game?

Sure, you could bet on Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes to hoist the Rozelle trophy as confetti rains down. He’s the favorite in this set of Super Bowl odds at -120. But what if you think Gronk is going to go Fiesta Mode and rip off three disgusting touchdown runs to cap his career? Maybe you could get in a hundred dollar bet that wins a whopping $6,600, as shown halfway down the left column.Crazy odds pay off big, if a longshot event occurs.Looks like kickers are expected to have enough leg for the distance, as shown by that +400. If you can call whether the first miss is left or right, you could scoop up a quick profit, though.You don’t even have to restrict yourself to betting just on the game. Want to bet on whether Ariana Grande makes it onstage during the halftime show?
It’s an underdog bet, but if you think she’s going to make it up there, you can take her at +275 and hope her agent got her into the limelight for this performance.Boy, that over is looking mighty tasty at -300! Can the announcers really restrain themselves that much with Tom Brady on the field for 60 minutes of play in what might be his swan song performance?Okay, prop bets go on and on at Bovada. If you want to bet on a thing at Super Bowl LVI, we’ve probably got it.How to Bet on NFL ParlaysThis is a fancy betting word that will make you feel more knowledgeable just by saying it. It’s really simple to understand, though. An NFL parlay is a combination bet that brings together a bunch of wagers and only pays off if you get each one right. For example, during division weekend, you might have been able to parlay both games. If you had picked the Chiefs and Bucs to each win their games in a parlay, you might have gotten paid handsomely.That’s the main benefit of a parlay: big winnings multipliers. You’re taking on more risk due to the fact that each bet has to be correct for you to receive a payout, so Bovada makes sure that your payout is worth it.Parlays can be quite large. Sometimes there are 12-event parlays with huge profits for anyone whose crystal ball is clear enough to predict that many bets correctly.Of course, if one is wrong, the whole parlay fails, so it can be pretty stressful if you make a huge parlay that Frankensteins together a bunch of games.As you add wagers to your betting slip, you can click the “Multiples” and “Singles” buttons to choose between betting each event individually and betting them as a parlay. The parlay winnings line will show you what your potential winnings increase to, if you choose to bet that way.Not every bet on Super Bowl LVI can be combined, though, so please note that the Multiples option is often greyed in that case.

How to Bet on NFL TeasersReady for something a little more complicated? Let’s learn about NFL teaser betting.Here you might have the chance to adjust the Super Bowl LVl odds in your parlay a bit as you decide which bet to make. A parlay may seem super risky with the standard lines and spreads, but what if you could move the lines before you made your bet? That’s what teasers are. They allow you to “tease” the lines, usually downward.NFL teasers are not always available, but when they are, they’re a nice way to manage risk.Let’s say one of the bets in your parlay is a favorite at -10 spread. Would the bet be easier to bank on if you could tease the spread down to a manageable -4? Of course. This is the way to cut down your parlay risk and make it more likely that you get all bets correct. The tradeoff is that your potential payout also is trimmed a bit.Less risk, less reward. But it might be just what you need to ensure that your parlay crosses the goal line, depending on what Super Bowl odds you take.How to Bet on NFL FuturesNFL futures betting allows you to bet on events that will take place after a decent span of time. A classic futures bet is to gamble on which team will win it all at the beginning of the season. You pick your franchise and hope you can ride them all the way to a Super Bowl win months later.The Super Bowl LVl odds you see here could be considered a kind of futures bet as of the time we’re writing this. Once you’re betting on things that are happening on the same day as you place the wager, most bettors probably wouldn’t consider it a futures bet, even though it technically happens “in the future.”All bets do.At the beginning of next season, you’ll see a bunch of futures bets appear. Alongside picking a champion, you can also pick rushing leaders, passing leaders, league MVPs, and similar season-long items.As of now, it’s all about finding the right bet on Super Bowl LVI. Head to our Super Bowl odds specials section and find a fun bet to go along with whatever else you choose. Pick a winner in the Puppy Bowl and you can turn a silly event for kids and chicks into a scream fest that will have you out of your seat as you beg -120 favorite Team Ruff’s 12-week old golden retriever to stop peeing on the 20-yard line and take the damn ball to the house already!While everyone has their favorite sports to gamble on like Golf or Baseball, the NFL is still our most popular league for betting. In fact, for some people, a bet on Super Bowl LVI will be the only bet they place on sports all year!Happy NFL football betting and happy Super Bowl LVI everyone!

SPIN TO WIN ROULETTE WITH
THIS GUIDE

Like blackjack, roulette is generally regarded as a French invention. Now, hundreds of years since the first ball was dropped into the first spinning wheel for betting, Bovada has one of the Internet’s hottest live roulette platforms.Here you can play online casino roulette, betting however you like right from the comfort of your own home. In this guide to winning at online roulette, we’ll cover the basics of how to play as well as inside bets, odds, strategy, systems, and other helpful tips.By the end of this article, you’ll be ready to get started with roulette online betting. Let’s drop in!

How to PlayIn basic online casino roulette (American version) at Bovada, there are 38 numbered “stops” on the roulette wheel where a ball could land and come to rest. The numbers are 1-36 (colored red or black), along with 0 and 00.To start live roulette, the wheel is spun and then a ball is rolled along an outer track in the opposite direction. Eventually, it loses speed, bounces along, and falls into one of the stops or “pockets” labeled with a particular number.There’s quite a few ways to approach roulette online betting. You can bet on a single number, which has high risk, but which offers a correspondingly higher real money payout (35:1 for American Roulette). Or, you can bet on a third of the pack for a 2:1 payout. You can also simply bet on red or black, or even or odd for a 1:1 profit, if you’re correct. Lastly, you can bet number combinations of varying sizes.Inside BetsInside bets at a roulette online betting game are bets made using the inside section of the table. You know, the one with all the numbers on it? Outside bets, on the other hand, are those that surround these numbers (odd, even, red, black, 1-12, top row, etc.).There’s a few different ways to play inside bets during live roulette at Bovada. The most basic is to bet a number straight up. When you’re tired of waiting for a particular number to hit at a casino, you can start straddling lines and betting multiple numbers at a time.When you bet two numbers by putting a chip across the line that divides them, it’s called a “split” bet.A corner bet has your chip at the corner of four numbers, betting on all of them at once.There’s a lot of ways to lay down chips during online casino roulette at Bovada!

Roulette OddsThe odds you get in roulette online betting at Bovada depend on which version you’re playing. Here’s a breakdown:Bet Type Payout European AmericanColumn 2 to 1 32.40% 31.6%Dozen 2 to 1 32.40% 31.6%Even/odd 1 to 1 48.60% 47.4%Colors 1 to 1 48.60% 47.4%Single num. 35 to 1 2.70% 2.60%Two nums. 17 to 1 5.4% 5.3%Three nums. 11 to 1 8.1% 7.9%Four nums. 8 to 1 10.8% 10.5%Five nums. 6 to 1 13.5% 13.2%Six nums. 5 to 1 16.2% 15.8%As you can see, the biggest and best bonus payouts for live roulette at Bovada come from the rarer events. In contrast, likelier events that are easy to hit at the casino have smaller real money payouts.Basic StrategyThe best basic roulette strategy at an online casino revolves around one point: bankroll management. If you have a large bankroll, you can increase or decrease your bets as you see fit and have fun. If your bankroll is smaller, it will take discipline to avoid riskier bets when things aren’t going your way.Basic roulette strategy also includes betting on likelier outcomes (e.g. odd/even, red/black, the upper half of the numbers, etc.) when you’re in need of a win, and hitting up riskier bets (e.g. corners, or even a straight up number) when you’re flush and can afford to take a chance going after a big real money payday at our online casino.Most people like to run a more formal roulette betting system once they’ve had a little fun betting by their gut and gambling at the casino.Roulette Betting SystemsThe most popular online casino roulette betting system is known as the Martingale. Each time you lose, you double the money in your bet. Eventually, you will win again and recoup what you’ve wagered. You will run into the issue of table limits, though! This strategy gets out of hand fast when you’re on a losing streak. Be careful not to get busted out. A Grand Martingale uses this same strategy, but adds a little money to the bet each time in addition to the doubling.The Paroli live roulette betting system doesn’t require so much money to follow. Instead of doubling after a loss at the casino, you double after a win. After three wins in a row, you go back to the beginning.A D’Alembert roulette betting system takes things even more slowly. You increase your bet by one after a loss and decrease it by one after a win. The goal is to reduce the impact of swings.Speaking of which, the Fibonacci roulette betting system might be the most conservative (and intellectual-sounding) roulette betting system at the casino. It uses the Fibonacci sequence: 1 – 1 – 2 – 3 – 5 – 8 – 13 – 21 – 34 – 55 – 89 (etc.) where each number is the sum of the two before it. Here you only advance in the sequence when you win. If your first bet at Bovada is 1, you go to 2 when you win, then 3, then 5. If you lose, you start again at one. It’s far less aggressive than the all or nothing Martingale approach to roulette online betting.Quick TipsBe careful when you place your bet down, one of the best online roulette practices is to ensure that it’s on the spot you want. At Bovada, online casino roulette uses virtual chips, so you need to double check your betting accuracy.Outside of some limited Martingale betting, don’t chase losses. This can quickly lead to busting out. If you’re getting heated, step away from the casino and come back when you can play with a cool head.Stick to your bankroll rules. Bet what you can safely bet, and save the rest. Better to play and have fun within your limits than to run through your money and be forced to sit out of your next planned session of live roulette.Ok, so that’s roulette in a nutshell. Head over to the table games section at the casino at Bovada and sort by “Roulette” on the drop down menu to choose your favorite variation!

ROLL THE DICE AND PLAY CRAPS

Are you a fan of Roulette and want to learn how to play Craps online? Let’s get right into it!We’re a long way from ancient games played by Roman soldiers, who used pig knuckles as dice. Now you don’t have to slaughter any animals to play craps – everything you need is online at the casino at Bovada.You can find craps in Bovada’s table games section. Playing craps online is an ideal environment for a game that can be a bit intimidating to stroll up to in a live casino. Instead of having to elbow through the shouting crowd, you can take on craps games from the comfort of your own home. You can learn all the nuances of the game and get a good feel for it in practice mode before making your first real money table games bet.Want to learn how to play craps online? Let’s get right into it!

How to Bet the Pass LineAt a live casino, craps games are played by rolling two dice down a long table and making bets on the numbers that will arise. When you play craps online, all of this action happens virtually.There are three “craps” numbers: 2, 3, and 12. If the shooter rolls these, they have crapped out.One of the basic bets in craps is called “passing.” If the first roll, also known as the “come out” is a 7 or 11, it’s a “natural” and the round is passed. Players betting on the pass line win money. A craps roll loses money on the pass bet.Of course, there’s other numbers. These rolls (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10) are called “point numbers.” Rolling one of these numbers on the come out sets up a point. The craps game then revolves around whether the shooter will roll that number again before they hit a 7. Rolling a seven causes the pass bet to lose. The shooter has “sevened out.”The Bovada beginner craps guide covers fundamentals like these to teach you all about playing craps online, but we’ll cover a few more simple concepts in this article.How to Bet the Don’t Pass LineIf you’re playing craps online and you think the shooter won’t pass, you might think about betting the “don’t pass” line. These bets win in craps games if the shooter craps out on initial rolls, or if a point is established and the shooter sevens out before rolling the point again.The pass and don’t pass bets are essentially opposite sides of the same coin.Come and Don’t Come BetsCome and don’t come bets when you’re playing craps online are all about establishing your own personal points.The most popular time during craps games to use the come bet is once the shooter has come out and a point has been established. If the shooter rolls another non-matching point number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10), your money comes to this new point. If the shooter rolls it again before sevening out, you win.The don’t come bet when you play craps online lets you bet on the reverse outcome. Your personal point gets established, and your don’t come bet pays off if the shooter sevens out before rolling that point again. Hope for lucky seven to show up in time!By the way, you can learn more about these and other bet types in the Bovada craps guide. Read up, then roll the dice and win real money at the craps table.

Odds BetsThe dice rolls you’re betting on each have multiple ways to hit, but some are more likely than others. As you might have guessed from the way craps games are designed, a seven is the most probable number to roll. There are more ways to make this total than another rarer number, like a 12, which can only be rolled one way.For this reason, some folks who are betting the pass when they play craps online like to get true odds payouts on the passing numbers, instead of getting paid the same amount of money no matter which one comes up. These bets are called odds bets, and the payouts are as follows:2:1 4s and 10s3:2 5s and 9s6:5 6s and 8sWhen you’re playing craps and looking for a pass roll, you can make things a little more interesting (and possibly profitable) by putting your real money down on an odds bet like this.The best bonus at the casino craps table is when you win cash with a strong odds payout.Place 6 and Place 8Some players just like certain numbers. For these players, craps games at Bovada offer place betting. Here, you simply pick a number to be rolled before a seven. If it happens, you get paid. (A lay bet is the opposite. You’re betting on a seven being rolled before that number).Place bets on 6 and 8, in particular, carry a famously low house edge, and so are among the smartest bets you can place when you’re playing craps online. Make these bets, and the odds are more in your favor to win some real money online at your next craps game at Bovada.Note that, unless you specify, these bets won’t be active or “working” on the come out roll. Make sure that you turn them on if you want them working even during that initial roll.Heading to the Bovada Craps TablesCraps offers a number of other bets, but we would recommend working on some of the basics before getting into the more complicated aspects of craps games. Getting a feel for the rhythm of the game helps a lot not just in understanding how bets work when you play craps online at Bovada, but also in making things more exciting. Knowing what you’re looking for is a lot more fun than simply getting carried along with the tide.The first time you watched football, it was probably exciting, but you had no clue what was going on. A craps table is similar – tons of excitement is there, but only after you start to understand it do things really get interesting.Focus on the bets that offer the best odds in this casino dice game, and you’ll win real money at the virtual craps table in no time.Head to your own personal Bovada craps game today and start learning what those people are screaming about every time you walk into a casino.

LEARN HOW TO PLAY ONLINE BLACKJACK

What may have started out as a game for royalty hundreds of years ago in France has turned into one of the world’s biggest online casino games at Bovada. Almost everyone has had a chance to play blackjack, but not everyone knows the best way to win. To help all players out, we’ve created this simple guide to help you learn how to play online blackjack table games and maximize your chances of making money at it.Below we’ll cover online blackjack basics, what makes it different from playing in person, the best optimal betting strategy to use to win money, what the house edge is, and how the different online blackjack variations differ from one another.Let’s shuffle up and deal!

Online Blackjack BasicsThe basics of how to play blackjack are pretty simple once you’ve got some practice. The goal is to go as close to 21 as you can without going over, whether you’re playing single deck blackjack or another variation.To start, you’ll be dealt two cards (like blackjack, poker online also starts with two cards). You then get to choose if you want a hit (that is, get dealt another card) or to stand (receive no more cards).If your cards add up to 20, for example, you probably want to stand. Taking a hit and getting another card there would probably bust you (i.e. send you over 21).If your cards add up to 11, though, you’re safe to take a hit. All face cards are worth 10, so that’s the maximum number you could receive. Even if you get one of the highest cards in the deck, you won’t go over 21. In fact, you’d reach it right on the nose, also known as a “blackjack!”
Another wrinkle in the game is the dealer. That’s who you’re playing against. The other players at a table are each playing their own game against the dealer, too. If the dealer busts and you don’t, you win. If you get a higher score than the dealer without busting, you win. If you bust, the dealer wins. And if you both get blackjack, it’s a push and your bet is returned to you.

The Perks of Blackjack OnlineThere are many differences between online blackjack and offline. When you play blackjack online for real money, the biggest advantage is that you can do it any time you like, in total comfort. You don’t have to take a trip to a casino. In fact, you can play on your phone in bed if you feel like it! You can also play when you’re commuting home from work to unwind. Like blackjack, poker online is the same way.You also don’t have to deal with annoyances from other players, whether you choose single deck blackjack or another version. You choose whatever seat you want, and no one will criticize which one you pick or how you play. It’s your game and no one else’s.Of course, if you want a little bit of the best of both worlds, you can play blackjack poker online with our live dealers. You can even pick which dealer you like best!Online Blackjack Optimal Betting StrategyWhen you play blackjack, even if it’s single deck blackjack, you need to play your best to win. This means that you need to know the optimal betting strategy in each situation, especially when to hit or stand. There are complicated charts that lay out the best play in nearly every blackjack situation (like blackjack, poker online also has a lot of charts you can study).We’ll skip those for now and give you these basic guidelines. If your total is:

Online Blackjack House EdgeThe house edge when you play blackjack online for real money has always been a huge selling point of the game. While other casino games may be less favorable, blackjack is known for having a small house edge when you are using optimal betting strategy. You also need to know which rules the dealer is playing by to get a true calculation of the odds of winning.For single deck blackjack, the house edge can be around 1-2%, depending on how the dealer is required to behave. In contrast, unlike blackjack, poker online has an edge that’s determined by the level of the competition you’re playing against, which can vary widely.To learn more and figure out which game is for you, let’s check out some variations available at Bovada.Online Blackjack Variations

To learn more about different table games like Craps or Roulette and figure out which game is for you, let’s check out some variations available at Bovada.So those are the basics of blackjack and the varieties available. Now it’s time to head to the Bovada casino blackjack section. Your first two cards are waiting!

Casino slots at Bovada have been one of our most popular game types for years. Slot machines are easy to understand, exciting to play, and carry some huge payouts thanks to bonus games, free spins, prize multipliers, and progressive jackpots.In this article, we’ll cover some of the best reasons to play online betting slots, which types you can find at the Bovada casino, how to maximize your payouts, what the symbols mean, and lots more.Let’s get those reels spinning!

Why Play Online Slots For Real Money?Playing casino slots can be exciting and profitable at Bovada, but there’s a surprising reason that many people say they love to play: relaxation. Playing games at Vegas casinos doesn’t always get you into a relaxed frame of mind. Slots at casino sites, on the other hand are a way to unwind after work or on the weekend. Our players will often get a fresh beverage, grab their phone, and chill on the couch for a little slots session.There’s also so much variety in Bovada slot machines. No matter what kind of vibe you’re into, there’s a slot machine built around that theme. Slots can be spooky, sexy, cheerful, and chill. The online betting slots you like best can be found by browsing around to see which games are available, and then testing the slot machines that look like fun at our casino.Types of Online Slots You Can PlayThere are so many different kinds of casino slots games at Bovada.The first type are classic three-reel slot machines. These look and feel like old-school Vegas slot machines, and feature the cherries, BARs, and lucky 7s that we’ve all come to know and love.If you prefer a more modern look, you could check out video slots like Cash Money Mermaids, which feature animated symbols that come to life with every spin.If you want more ways to win, go for online betting slots with five reels and tons of paylines, like Fast & Sexy. Games like these can also feature expanding wilds that help you win more, as well as bonus spins with real money multipliers.And speaking of sexy, if you like a little spice in your life, there’s quite a few slots that serve up some seductive eye candy, like Forbidden Slot and the ever-popular A Night with Cleo. Cleo’s slot features a double or nothing bonus mini game that has her casting items of clothing off and paying out real money, if you can keep guessing which of her hands holds the prize.

How to Maximize Your PayoutsThe simplest way to maximize real money payouts at casino slots is to use the “Max Bet” button where available. This not only makes your potential winnings bigger, it can also open up bonuses at slot machines that require it in order to become eligible for certain prizes.Also, keep an eye out for online betting slots that feature free spins bonuses, because those spins won’t cost you a dime once triggered, but the real money winnings are yours to keep.For a little more info about slots with a helpful explainer video, check out this Bovada slots article.Slots Symbols and Bonuses ExplainedOne casino slots symbol you will hear a lot about at Bovada is the “scatter.” These symbols often trigger bonus games, but unlike standard symbols, they do not need to line up in order to win you a prize. Instead, they can be scattered around the reels (or anywhere on a specified reel), so long as they appear in the required number, usually 3 or more.Another symbol common to slot machines is the “wild.” This symbol substitutes for any standard symbol that will help you get a win. You may also see expanding wilds, which grow to take up an entire reel to offer you more chances to win real money.Aside from these, you will see almost every kind of image used as a standard symbol. Most online betting slots revolve around images that fit a theme, but certain classics like playing card ranks often appear in the mix as well.Most Popular Slots to Play and WinPopular casino slots at Bovada include some of the slot machines we’ve mentioned above, as well as hits that will have you mining gems and real money with Gold Rush Gus, avoiding sleeping with the fishes in the New York mafia themed GoodFishes, and relaxing into the calming waters of Koi Garden.Of course, the most popular online betting slots at Bovada often offer one feature that can win you more real money than any other: progressive jackpots. You don’t have to play games in Vegas casinos to get paid!

Progressive Jackpots ExplainedAs players have fun betting on casino slots, a big jackpot is gradually building up. Eventually, one lucky winner hits it big and takes home this huge real money cash prize, and the jackpot starts building up all over again. These progressive jackpots from slot machines can climb into the thousands, tens of thousands, and even hundreds of thousands of dollars, so it’s a life-changing win for players at Bovada that hit a big one.Online betting slots each have their own rules about how to win progressive jackpots. Some are totally random, while others may require a Max Bet or other action to activate eligibility. For example, Shopping Spree requires five diamond rings to appear while Max Bet is used in order to win the progressive jackpot.Looking for a good time? Find a casino slot that looks like fun and give it a spin. Big real money wins could be one press away at Bovada!

SLOTS AT BOVADA

A lot has changed since the dawn of online poker. The past 25 years have been like a gold rush – millions of people around the world play poker now, hoping to catch the right cards at the right time and win some serious cash. It’s fun, it’s competitive, and thanks to the internet, there’s always a game waiting for you at Bovada Poker.If you haven’t had the chance yet to play the Beautiful Game, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll lay out the basics for you in this very simple guide to playing online poker at Bovada. In the few short minutes it takes you to read this, you’ll learn how this classic game works on the virtual felt, and how you can get your seat at the table. You’ll also be introduced to the different games you can play at Bovada Poker – there’s something for everyone, no matter how experienced you are or what stakes you play at.How Poker Betting Online Works at BovadaAlmost all forms of poker are based on one simple premise: Make the best 5-card hand. The standard 52-card “French” deck is used, and each player is dealt in, one card at a time going clockwise around the poker table. In front of each player is a stack of chips, which are used for betting. Players take turns either putting chips in the middle of the table (thus building up the “pot”) or folding their hands and ending their turn. At the end of the hand, the sole survivor gets to scoop up the pot – unless there’s a tie, in which case the pot is split evenly among the remaining players.So what makes one poker hand better than the others? Having two or more cards of the same rank is good: One Pair, Two Pair, Three of a Kind, a Full House (that’s like having Three of a Kind and a Pair at the same time) or Four of a Kind. It’s also good to have five cards of consecutive ranks (a Straight), or five cards of the same suit (a Flush). If you have five cards that are both a Straight and a Flush, you have – you guessed it – a Straight Flush. Make those cards the Ace, King, Queen, Jack and Ten of the same suit, and you have the best hand in poker: a Royal Flush.It’s also good to have higher-ranked cards in your hand. Aces are the highest cards in the deck, and they can also act as the low card, meaning you can make a Straight with Five-Four-Three-Deuce-Ace as well as Ace-King-Queen-Jack-Ten. Kings, Queens and Jacks are the next highest cards, and everything else is face value. If two players have, say, a Pair, the one with the higher-ranked pair wins – a Pair of Aces beats a Pair of Kings. If each player has the same Pair, the one with the highest “kicker” (one of the other cards in their hand) is the winner.With that in mind, here are the standard hand rankings for poker, from best to worst:Royal Flush (Ad-Kd-Qd-Jd-Td)
Straight Flush (Tc-9c-8c-7c-6c)
Four of a Kind (5s-5c-5h-5d-3c)
Full House (Th-Tc-Ts-4d-4h)
Flush (Ks-Qs-6s-3s-2s)
Straight (Jc-Ts-9s-8s-7h)
Three of a Kind (3h-3s-3c-As-8h)
Two Pair (As-Ad-8s-8h-9c)
Pair (Ah-As-Kd-Qs-4s)
High Card (As-Qs-9h-8c-3c)The Royal Flush is the best hand in poker because it’s the hardest one to make. Everything gets easier as you go down the list – until you get to the Pair, which is easier to make than High Card. You won’t win very often with just High Card, but sometimes you will, especially if your highest card is an Ace.When you play at Bovada Poker, everything works exactly the same as it does when you play at a live casino or in a home game. The poker table, seats, chips and dealers are all virtual; you either tap or click the buttons that correspond to your betting decisions. When it’s your turn, you can Raise (making a bigger bet than the last person), Call (matching that bet), or Fold (giving up your hand). The display will show you how many chips everyone has, and how much time you have left to make your decision when it’s your turn.Generally speaking, there are three different games you can play at Bovada Poker: Texas Hold’em, Omaha, and Omaha Hi/Lo. Hold’em is the most popular game in the world right now – it’s the one they play in the Main Event at the World Series of Poker. Omaha is a similar game, but you’re dealt four cards at the beginning instead of two. And Omaha Hi/Lo is a “split-pot” version of Omaha where the best and the worst hand get to share the winnings. You can learn more about the specific rules for each game by consulting our FAQ and Help guides, as well as the other useful articles in our Bovada Poker archive.Download and Play Poker at Home or On the Go

Online Poker FeaturesThere’s a reason why Bovada’s online poker room is considered one of the best in the business – several reasons, in fact. There are so many different ways to play, from cash games to tournaments, both high stakes and low. You’ll also have access to all our special features, including automatic seating, anonymous tables, hand histories, and multi-tabling.Let’s take a closer look at three of the most popular ways to play at Bovada Poker:TournamentsTournament poker is the No. 1 attraction for new players, thanks in large part to the World Series of Poker. Instead of cash games, where you “buy in” for anywhere between the minimum and maximum, everyone in a tournament pays the same buy-in and entry fee. Then all of the buy-ins are pooled together, and at the scheduled start time, everyone sits down at the virtual tables with the same number of chips, and the poker begins. You play until you either run out of chips or collect them all; the prize pool is divided among the top remaining survivors (usually somewhere around 15-20% of the field), with the largest prize going to the last person standing.Zone PokerTournaments are a great invention, but cash poker is still a lot of fun – and it’s even more fun when you play Zone Poker, our fast-fold variant. Instead of sitting around waiting after you fold your hand, you’ll be instantly transported to another table with new players and a fresh set of cards. This allows you to play roughly three times as many hands per hour as you would at a regular cash game. You can even play two tables of Zone Poker at the same time.Jackpot Sit & Go’sA Sit & Go is a special kind of tournament that starts as soon as the designated number of required players have signed up. They’re faster than regular tournaments, and the fastest of them all is the Jackpot Sit & Go, a three-player tournament where the winner gets a random prize of up to $60,000. The Jackpot Sit & Go is a great way to get in a quick and fun game of poker while you’re on your mobile device.There are so many other things we could tell you about Bovada Poker, but for now, you’ve got all the basics you need to get started. Set up your free account if you haven’t already, try some Play Money games, and find out why Bovada is the No. 1 poker site for players in the United States and across the globe. Then, make that first deposit and start playing poker for real money. The more you practice – and the more you study, including our easy-to-understand strategy articles – the better you’ll become and the more money you’ll be able to win playing poker right here at Bovada. See you on the felt!

BOVADA’S POKER
TOURNAMENTS

The World Series of Poker really hit it out of the park when they introduced the tournament format in 1971. The year prior, at the inaugural event in Las Vegas, it was just seven players (including “Amarillo Slim” Preston and Doyle Brunson) playing a cash game session. Switching to tournaments was a masterstroke. With big prizes available to the winners, the WSOP now draws thousands of players from around the world, all hoping to take home one of those shiny gold bracelets along with some serious cash.Online poker has also been transformed by the tournament scene. This is the most popular way to play the game, and the driving force behind the “Moneymaker Era” boom of the mid-2000s. Online poker tournaments are running around the clock right here at Bovada Poker – you might even be playing in one right now. If not, here’s how to get a piece of the action.How Bovada Online Poker WorksThe great game of poker has been around for centuries. Online poker is a bit younger, dating back to the early days of the internet in the mid-1990s. The game is the same, though, using the same deck of 52 playing cards, dealt at random. People log in to their Bovada Poker accounts and take their seats at the virtual felt, trying to do the best with the cards they’re given; each player has a stack of virtual chips to bet with, and they take turns, going clockwise around the table.There are many different variants of poker you can play, but the most popular at the moment is a game called No-Limit Texas Hold’em. This is the game they play at the WSOP Main Event – and in the 2006 James Bond movie Casino Royale, replacing baccarat in the original Ian Fleming novel. Before each hand, two designated players at the table put in small mandatory bets known as the “blinds.” Then each player gets dealt two “hole” cards, face down, and a round of betting begins.The first player in the hand has three options: Raise, Call, or Fold. Then the next player clockwise gets their turn, and so on around the table. If everyone folds to the last player, then that player gets to take the blinds and the next hand is dealt. Otherwise, the hand proceeds to the next betting round, known as the “flop.” This is where the Dealer puts out three community cards, face-up in the middle of the table, that everyone gets to use to make their 5-card hand.After the flop is dealt, betting resumes as before. If a winner isn’t declared at the end of this round, another community card (the “turn”) is dealt, and the betting starts again. Finally, if needed, the “river” card is dealt, and the final betting round begins. If at least two people remain in the pot at the end of this round, they turn their hole cards over, and whoever has the best hand wins – or they share the pot equally if it’s a tie.This “showdown” scenario can also happen earlier in the hand if a player goes all-in, meaning they put all their remaining chips in the pot. When that bet gets called, and there aren’t any other players still battling it out, then the hole cards are flipped over and the remaining community cards are dealt to see who wins.

Online Poker Tournaments Available 24/7Bovada is pleased to bring you some of the best poker tournaments online, and unlike the bricks-and-mortar casinos, there’s always a tournament waiting for you to play. This makes it a lot easier for you to fit poker into your schedule. Depending on what kind of game you play (which we’ll get into shortly), and how well you do, it could take minutes or even several hours before you reach the finish line. Choose the right games to fit your needs, and if you accidentally sign up for something you didn’t mean to, you can unregister without penalty anytime before the tournament begins.Types of Online Poker TournamentsWith hundreds of tournaments happening every day, there’s something for everyone at Bovada Poker. Texas Hold’em, Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo are all on the menu; the vast majority of tournaments are Hold’em, but fans of the other two variants won’t be disappointed. You can also choose which betting limit (No-Limit, Pot-Limit or Fixed-Limit) you prefer – with No-Limit being the most popular way to play Hold’em tournaments.The standard “freeze-out” format is used for most tournaments at Bovada. This means that you enter once, and play poker until you either run out of chips or win the whole thing. The prize pool is split among the top survivors, with the biggest prize going to first place. Other tournaments allow you to re-enter when you’re eliminated, or re-buy if you’re running low on chips. There are also satellite tournaments where you can qualify for a seat at an event with a higher buy-in. This gives you the opportunity to play in a big tournament – say, the Main Event at the annual Golden Spade Poker Open – that might otherwise be beyond the budget.Here’s a closer look at some of the other tournament types you’ll find at Bovada Poker:Jackpot Sit & Go’sA standard Sit & Go is a smaller tournament with a specific number of entries (as small as two players) that begins once enough players have signed up. The Jackpot Sit & Go, which is a three-player tournament, adds another layer of excitement by awarding a random cash prize to the winner. That prize will be determined before you begin – you could win up to $60,000 in a matter of minutes.Turbo TournamentsEvery poker tournament runs at a certain speed, which is measured by how long it takes between blind levels; the more quickly the blinds increase, the sooner the tournament will end. If you’re looking for a shorter poker session, try one of the many Turbo events on the menu. Super Turbos are even faster, and Hyper Turbos (including the Jackpot Sit & Go’s) are the fastest of them all.Weekly GuaranteesSome of the most popular online poker tournaments are played once every week, usually on Sundays when people have more free time on their hands. Bovada Poker is pleased to offer the $100K Guaranteed, the best of all the Sunday majors in the business; there’s a guaranteed prize pool of $100,000 up for grabs no matter how many players sign up. The $100K Guaranteed kicks off at 4 PM ET – followed by the $75K Guaranteed High Roller tourney at 6 PM.Monthly MillyAs if those big weekly guarantees weren’t enough, Bovada Poker features the incredible Monthly Milly, with a guaranteed prize pool of $1 million on the line. The Monthly Milly also runs on select Sundays, and like the other tournaments we’ve mentioned here, No-Limit Hold’em is the name of the game. The buy-ins get larger for these prestigious events, up to $535 for the Monthly Milly, but again, you can satellite your way into this tournament for as little as $1.10.In addition to the tournaments on this list, Bovada offers special Knockout tourneys, where you earn a bounty prize for every player you eliminate – and those bounties get progressively bigger when you play a Super Knockout event. Also, don’t forget about our amazing annual poker festivals, including the aforementioned Golden Spade Poker Open (GSPO) and the Black Diamond Poker Open (BDPO). You can find out more by consulting our FAQ and Help guides; in the meantime, we look forward to seeing you on the felt right here at Bovada Poker.

Online Poker FeaturesThere’s a reason why Bovada’s online poker room is considered one of the best in the business – several reasons, in fact. There are so many different ways to play, from cash games to tournaments, both high stakes and low. You’ll also have access to all our special features, including automatic seating, anonymous tables, hand histories, and multi-tabling.Let’s take a closer look at three of the most popular ways to play at Bovada Poker:TournamentsTournament poker is the No. 1 attraction for new players, thanks in large part to the World Series of Poker. Instead of cash games, where you “buy in” for anywhere between the minimum and maximum, everyone in a tournament pays the same buy-in and entry fee. Then all of the buy-ins are pooled together, and at the scheduled start time, everyone sits down at the virtual tables with the same number of chips, and the poker begins. You play until you either run out of chips or collect them all; the prize pool is divided among the top remaining survivors (usually somewhere around 15-20% of the field), with the largest prize going to the last person standing.Zone PokerTournaments are a great invention, but cash poker is still a lot of fun – and it’s even more fun when you play Zone Poker, our fast-fold variant. Instead of sitting around waiting after you fold your hand, you’ll be instantly transported to another table with new players and a fresh set of cards. This allows you to play roughly three times as many hands per hour as you would at a regular cash game. You can even play two tables of Zone Poker at the same time.Jackpot Sit & Go’sA Sit & Go is a special kind of tournament that starts as soon as the designated number of required players have signed up. They’re faster than regular tournaments, and the fastest of them all is the Jackpot Sit & Go, a three-player tournament where the winner gets a random prize of up to $60,000. The Jackpot Sit & Go is a great way to get in a quick and fun game of poker while you’re on your mobile device.There are so many other things we could tell you about Bovada Poker, but for now, you’ve got all the basics you need to get started. Set up your free account if you haven’t already, try some Play Money games, and find out why Bovada is the No. 1 poker site for players in the United States and across the globe. Then, make that first deposit and start playing poker for real money. The more you practice – and the more you study, including our easy-to-understand strategy articles – the better you’ll become and the more money you’ll be able to win playing poker right here at Bovada. See you on the felt!

In addition to a sportsbook that’s open around the clock, we offer a comprehensive poker room that features popular tournaments and cash games including No Limit Texas Hold’Em and more. Those looking to blow off some steam with a little slot or table game session will find what they’re looking for in our massive Bovada betting casino that offers a Live Dealer experience plus hundreds of standard web-based games.

Welcome to a new way to play in the 21st century.The Best Customer Service in Online GamingWe wouldn’t have made it this far without focusing on quality customer service, which has been a cornerstone in our growing business since we started. A dedicated team of Bovada customer service agents is available 24/7 to answer any questions you may have about any and all of our products. Simply phone them up on the Bovada contact page, or send a message to get the assistance you need.If you suspect that your question is fairly common, a starting point to check for an answer would be in our comprehensive Bovada Customer Support Help Center. This page breaks down all of our products and platforms into smaller searchable topics, such as Sports & Events, Casino, Poker, Horses, Account & Security, Vouchers, Bitcoin, and Player Transfer. These topics lead to a list of frequently-asked questions and answers, such as the following.What deposit methods are available?What is a Parlay?How do I deposit with a cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Bitcoin SV, etc.)?Simply select your question and the answer will appear below. You may also get some helpful visual guidance from our Video Library that takes you through things like how the bet slip works, how to place a parlay, how bonuses work and several options dedicated to helping you learn how to use Bitcoin.Hundreds of Casino Games at Your Fingertips
Thanks to our virtual casino, there’s no need to go out to a brick-and-mortar venue to access your favorite games anymore. We have every type of casino game imaginable right here—and they can be played on your computer and smartphone. That kind of convenience is really hard to beat these days.There are two ways to play casino games at Bovada: the standard way and the Live Dealer way. Our standard casino games can be played straight from our website and use algorithms to determine the outcomes of each round. They’re played solo, which allows you to control the pace of the game. They’re the best option when you want something quick or when you’re first learning, and with hundreds of options, they also offer the greatest variety. Everything from slots to table games to video poker, as well as classics like Bingo and Keno, are available as standard online casino games at Bovada. The only thing that these games lack is the human element, which is why some people choose to explore the Live Dealer section of our casino.With real people spinning the wheels and dealing cards, the Live Dealer Casino aims to recreate the land-based casino experience, with the benefit of getting to play from home. Scroll through the list of games currently running, along with the assigned dealer, and pick the game/dealer combination you want. Additional betting options are available with Live Dealer games, including back betting with Blackjack.Endless Card Games with Bovada Online PokerPoker is a big reason why players sign up for an account at Bovada, and it’s easy to see why. We’re avid poker players ourselves and have been perfecting this product for a long time now. Rewards points, a generous sign-up bonus, game variety, tournaments, innovative game formats and features, and anonymous tables are all included in our poker client, contributing to a quality poker experience.Poker can be played just about any way you want at Bovada. While most players opt for the classic Texas Hold’Em, you can also play Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo with different limits. Cash games and tournaments are always on the go; we have daily and weekly tournaments, plus annual festivals like the Black Diamond Poker Open and Golden Spade of Poker Open, which make it possible to win life-changing sums of money—if you can survive long enough in the tournament.If you prefer quick and dirty poker sessions, our Zone Poker and Jackpot Sit & Go’s were designed for you. Zone Poker shuttles you to a different table as soon as you fold a hand, making it the fastest way to stay in the action. Meanwhile, the Jackpot Sit & Go’s give out quick payouts. As soon as your three-player table fills, a Jackpot Wheel is spun to determine the jackpot sum offered as a payout; then you’re each given 500 chips, and the first person to accumulate all 1,500 takes the prize. To make things more interesting, the blinds increase every three minutes.As you play these cash games and tournaments, you’ll collect poker points through our poker rewards program. This funnels some of the money paid in rake right back to you. You may not readily notice the points, but at some point in your poker journey, you’ll get to redeem them for tournament tickets—and there’s nothing better than playing in a tournament free-of-charge.Bet on Every Sports Matchup and EventSports betting is how we started our business and it’s the reason the majority of people sign up for a Bovada account in the first place. All of the major leagues are open for betting in a multitude of ways, and there’s also several obscure sports betting options that are catching on in smaller markets.For the most part, a game that’s happening live or scheduled to happen in the near future will appear in our sportsbook with a spread, moneyline and total available. Simply click the odds you want for the team you want, and it’ll be automatically added to your virtual sports betting slip. To get the full range of betting options, click on the matchup, and a new page will appear with all of the betting options for the event. Use our popular Prop Builder to beef up your slip with various props, check out the alternative lines, and go over your betting options for segments of the game. There are many different ways to bet on sports. Major events, like the Super Bowl, will have several pages of betting options in advance of kick-off, but if you don’t get to fill out your bet slip ahead of time, you can always join the action in real time through the Live Betting page.Anyone new to sports betting will benefit from going through our Sports Betting Guides first. These explain the betting process for each major sport—while also filling you in on the latest updates for the top teams on the odds board. Learn the difference between moneyline betting and parlays, so that you can get the most out of your sports betting experience.Bet on the Ponies with the Bovada RacebookNo online betting experience would be complete without an opportunity to bet on horse races—and that’s exactly what you get to get with our virtual racebook. Daily races are included for a variety of different racecourses. Simply select your preferred track, and see what’s happening.The major events on the horse racing calendar are a big draw to the racebook, too. Every May, the Kentucky Derby attracts hundreds of thousands of spectators who want to make their experience more significant by placing a wager on their favorite horse. The Belmont Stakes and Preakness Stakes are the other can’t-miss races that make up the North American Triple Crown, and anytime we have a Triple Crown candidate, the excitement reaches new heights.What better way to conclude the year’s horse racing calendar than with the Breeders’ Cup races in late October/early November? This annual event is also a great way to catch a glimpse of the following year’s top three-year-olds thanks to the Juvenile Cup.Any horse race offers two approaches to betting: straight forward Win/Place/Show bets, or exotics. Recreational bettors just looking for a good time will likely find just that when they place a straight bet; find the horse you like, and bet on it to win, finish second, or finish in the top three. Exotics include things like trifectas and exactas, which ask you to pick more than one horse. To win a trifecta, for example, you need to pick the winner, runner-up and third-place finisher. It’s a tall task, which is why it pays so well compared to the straight bets.We trust that whatever your betting preference is, be it sports, poker, casino or horses, you’ll find what you’re looking for at Bovada. Join our online network of avid fans who like to have a little betting fun in their spare time.

BOVADA’S MOBILE BETTING

Nothing beats the convenience of mobile online betting. No matter where you are or what you’re doing, mobile betting gives you access to our sportsbook, poker rooms and casino at the drop of a hat. All you need is a smartphone and internet connection to recreate the same betting experience you’re used to on the computer and laptop – but in a more convenient format.Bovada mobile has been a huge hit with busy people who need a sportsbook and casino that can fit into their demanding schedules. When you go mobile, you can get in a few rounds of poker between meetings, or place a quick bet right at the venue of a game – anything is possible. Nowadays, we do everything from our smartphones, and the Bovada betting experience has followed suit.About Bovada OnlineThe Bovada customer service team has been the cornerstone of our online business since we first began in 2011. Call in any time, day or night, 365 days a year, and our agents will be happy to help with any queries you may have. Even topics that seem vague or foreign, such as how to get into Bitcoin betting, can be explained in simple terms by our helpful customer service team.There’s no denying that betting sites come and go, but Bovada has been an industry leader in the US for over a decade now and is here to stay. We have been building and improving our betting services since we began as sports betting enthusiasts, and are pleased to provide the best betting platform on the net. Just ask the hundreds of thousands of players who choose us as their preferred betting service provider every day; to them, we are the only trusted and reliable source of betting entertainment worth using.How to Play Games on Bovada MobileOver the last 20 or so years, we’ve seen a shift from brick-and-mortar casinos to online casinos to mobile casinos. As people’s lives get busier, they gravitate toward the most convenient form of betting entertainment, and our mobile platform is the king of convenience. There’s no need to drive anywhere; you can bet at any time of the day, and there are no apps to download and install onto your phone. Simply open your phone’s internet browser, punch in Bovada.lv, and the mobile version of our website will load automatically, as it will detect that you’re using a smartphone. With everything scaled down for optimal mobile browsing, you’re free to log in to your account as you normally would. All of the same games from our “desktop site” are available on our mobile site—for both real money stakes and Practice Play mode.In order to launch a casino game in “mobile” mode, you’ll need to flip your smartphone from Portrait to Landscape; if you have trouble doing this, check your settings to make sure your phone is not in Orientation Lock. All of our casino games require your entire screen as a display and usually hide the infrequently-used buttons (rules, game settings, volume) in a “Hamburger” icon (three stacked horizontal lines). If there’s no obvious Hamburger icon on your display while the game is in play, try swiping the screen left and right.Although all of our casino games can be played on your smartphone, some are more smartphone-friendly than others, especially with the table game options. Roulette (both American and European), Baccarat, Craps, Tri Card Poker and three versions of blackjack (Single Deck, Double Deck and Six Deck), all come in two versions. The “Classic” version is the original and best suited for desktop gaming. The newer versions, which all have blue backgrounds on the game cards, are mobile-friendly, as the game screen morphs and adapts to display things on an as-needed basis. And since these versions are newer, they also have interesting settings, including the ability to choose between three different styles of decks of cards.Play Poker on Bovada MobileThe same great poker experience rendered from our downloadable poker client can be experienced on our mobile network. If you’ve got an Android or iOS device, tablet or smartphone, you can become a global poker player and take your poker game with you anywhere in the world. Cash games, tournaments (both single-table and multi-table) and our popular Zone Poker and Jackpot Sit & Go’s can all be accessed through your smartphone’s browser. Simply type in http://m.bovada.lv/poker and log in to your Bovada Poker account to see how it works. The full menu of poker tournaments and cash games will appear on your smartphone, including major annual festivals like the Super Millions Poker Open and popular weekly tournaments, like the 150K Guaranteed.Seasoned poker players who prefer to maximize their earnings through multi-tabling can do just that with our mobile poker network. Up to four tables can be played simultaneously using your smartphone, but if you want more than that, you’ll need to log on to the desktop poker client. Both real money games and play money games are available to our mobile poker players, making it the ideal platform for beginners and pros alike.Place Any Sports Bets on Bovada MobileIt happens to the best of us. You leave for a live sports event, and when you arrive at the venue, you realize that you forgot to place a bet on the game beforehand. This unfortunate scenario won’t ever happen to you again because you can place bets on sports games straight on your smartphone through Bovada Mobile. It’s quick and easy to use our mobile sportsbook; simply key in Bovada.lv and log in with your email and password.When you go to our Sports page, the Trending Events will appear in the center of the screen. These are the leagues and tournaments that most people are betting on at the time. At the bottom of the screen, you’ll find a bar with buttons for the Live Betting page, other major leagues, a Search option, a mobile Bet Slip and a button for “All”, which brings up all of our sports betting options, with everything from Aussie Rules to Winter Sports.The mobile Bet Slip is easy to use, even if you’ve never placed a bet in our sportsbook before. Each game has both teams listed, along with odds under the moneyline, spread and totals. Select the odds for the bet that you want, and it will be added to the slip automatically. With the slip now displayed on your phone’s screen, you can enter the amount you want to risk, and you can scroll down to see your possible winnings which are displayed at the bottom of the slip. When you add more than one bet, the Parlay option appears under “Multiples” button. Straight bets are placed under “Singles” and toggling between Singles and Multiplies is very easy to do with just a tap of your finger.Deposit, Withdraw and Have FunThe entire betting experience at Bovada can be done via mobile, and that includes the deposit step right up front and the withdraw step at the end. You’ll need to log in to your account in order to do either. Just locate the “Profile” icon (Cashier icon for poker players) at the top corner of the display; this button will bring forth all of the options and settings that appear when you log in to your account on a computer. Click “Deposit” to populate all of your deposit methods and key in the appropriate information to complete the transaction. The same steps should be taken to withdraw funds—you’ll have all of the same deposit and withdrawal options that you’re used to, including cryptocurrency (ex. Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash), major credit cards, a voucher code and certain Visa and MasterCard gift cards. If you have any questions regarding deposits and withdrawals, check out the Financial section of our Help Center.Keep in mind, mobile betting is a source of fun entertainment for adults. For casual sports fans, it provides an opportunity to be more engaged in the outcome of a game, whether it be a major championship or a regular season matchup against a heated rival. When your chosen team wins, you win, too. As for poker players, you can develop and show off skills that set you apart from other players at table, while collecting their chips. Whatever your betting forte, one thing is for certain: going mobile takes your experience up a notch. Whip out that smartphone and get a taste of it today.
