Game props are often derivatives of full game bets. Props commonly ask YES/NO type questions, and these questions range from pedestrian, like “How many total points will the home team score?” to exotic, such as “What color will the Gatorade shower be?”Īs the prop market has grown, several prop subdivisions have emerged, each sharing certain characteristics but also exhibiting key distinctions. They want to bet on their favorite players, teams, and what will happen in the 1 st quarter, or even the opening drive of a football game. Modern sports fans want to wager on more than just the outcome of the next game. If it’s not a point spread, total, moneyline, or future, it’s probably a prop bet. Put simply, prop bets – otherwise known as proposition bets – are wagers not directly tied to a game outcome or season-long result.
