Intro to Race Books
The race book can be an intimidating place if you’re not familiar with the environment. Anywhere from 2 - 10 race tracks can be running at the same time on the TV screens, each of which have 9 races on their card. So, if you’re ever going to place a race book bet, make sure you know the track, the race, and the number of the horse, before you go up to the counter. Note: the actual name of the horse won’t do you any good when you place your bet if you don’t have the other information to go …

How to Make A Sports Bet: The Teaser and Super Teasers
The teaser differs from the Parlay in that the point spread or line is “teased” in the direction you want. For example, if you could take Dallas minus 7 on the Parlay card, you could take them minus three on a “four point teaser.” Most sports books have pre-printed cards for teasers, and the pay outs are static on the back.

How to Make A Sports Bet: The Straight Bet
When betting on a sporting event, you’ll see one of two things—a point spread, a “money line,” or both. The money line is simple, it uses a mathematical equation to calculate the amount of money you must bet in order to make the odds correct. For example, if you want to bet on the Yankees, and the money line is minus 180, you must bet $18.00 to win an expected $10.00. Your expected pay out will be $28.00, not $18.00. In some cases, you can choose either the point spread or the money line. Lets say you want the Dodgers …
