Straight Bet
A single wager on one outcome at the posted odds. The simplest and most common bet type. Also called a single or flat bet.
Like buying individual stocks rather than complex derivatives — simpler, easier to track, and you know exactly what you own.
Why it matters
Straight bets are the foundation of profitable betting. They have the highest expected win rate and let you evaluate each pick independently.
