Fixed Odds bets are the most popular in New Zealand since they provide all the information up front. With these wagers, the odds and potential payout are agreed on at the time of placing your wager. Even if the prices shift later on, you are paid out the agreed amount, if your bet is successful. The odds indicate the likelihood of the selection winning, and the total amount you stand to receive if you win.
Over/Under Betting
Also known as Totals, Over/Under bets are popular with sports like Basketball, Rugby, American Football, Volleyball and Tennis. With this type of wager, we post a total, which is the combined score of both teams at the end of full time. For example, in a Rugby match the total might be 27.5. You can then bet on whether the actual combined score will be under (27 or less) or over (28 or more).
Handicap Betting
At our sportsbook you will find Handicap betting on all major events. This is offered on team or individual sports where one team is clearly stronger than the other. In cases like these, the result is easy to predict and not worth putting money on. This is where handicapping comes in. Spin Sports will apply a virtual point advantage to the underdog team and deduct a virtual point amount from the favourites. If you are then betting on the favourite, they must win by more than the point margin provided. Similarly, if you are betting on the underdog, they can still lose the match, but if they lose by less than the point margin, your wager is still successful.
