Prop Bets Explained

Proposition bets — 'props' — are bets on specific events within a game rather than the result. They range from player performances to novelty markets. This guide explains them with hypothetical examples only.

What a prop bet is

A prop is a bet on something other than the final result — for example a player's stats, the time of the first score, or a yes/no event. Props add variety and let you bet on details you have a read on.

Player vs game props

Player props cover an individual's performance (points, yards, goalscorer). Game props cover match events (first team to score, total cards, will there be overtime).

Why odds vary so much

Props range from near-even-money to very long odds depending on how likely the event is. Rarer outcomes pay more, the same principle as elsewhere in betting. See how odds work.

Combining props

Props are often combined within one match using a bet builder, or across games in an accumulator. As always, every combined leg must win.
