Welcome to our Epic Sportsbook! If you're new to sports betting, this guide will help you get started. We'll cover the basics of how sports betting works, explain key concepts, and provide tips to make your betting experience enjoyable and informed.

What is Sports Betting?

Sports betting involves placing a wager on the outcome of a sports event. If your prediction is correct, you win money based on the odds of your bet. The main components of a bet include the selection (what you are betting on), the stake (how much money you are betting), and the odds (which determine your potential winnings).

Understanding Odds

Odds represent the probability of an event occurring and determine how much you can win. In Europe, the most common odds format is decimal odds. Here’s how to read them:

Decimal Odds: This format shows how much you will win for every €1 bet. For example, odds of 2.50 mean you will win €2.50 for every €1 bet if your selection wins.

To calculate your potential return, multiply your stake by the decimal odds. For example, a €10 bet at odds of 2.50 would return €25 (€10 x 2.50).
