Bettípus

Bettípus is a term found in gambling contexts, referring to the different formats or styles in which a wager can be placed. In Hungarian usage it is commonly used to describe the variety of bets offered by bookmakers, betting exchanges, and casino games. The concept covers bet types across sports betting, horse racing, and casino gaming, and the available options can vary by jurisdiction and platform.

In sports betting, bet types describe how a bet is resolved and what outcome is needed for a win. Common examples include straight bets such as moneyline (picking the outright winner), point spread (a team must win by a minimum margin), and totals or over/under (betting on the combined score). Other types include futures (season-long outcomes), prop bets (specific events within a game), parlays or accumulators (combining multiple bets into one), and live or in-play bets placed as the action unfolds. Each type has its own payout odds and risk profile.

In horse racing, standard bet types include win, place, and show, as well as exotic bets such as exacta, quinella, trifecta, and superfecta, which involve predicting multiple finishing positions. There are also forecast and utility bets in some markets.

In casino games, bet types describe how bets are placed on tables like roulette (inside vs outside bets), blackjack, or craps, where different arrangements of wagers determine potential payouts and house edge.

Understanding bet types helps players assess risk, odds, and potential rewards, and facilitates comparison across platforms and games.
