Sports betting involves wagering money on the outcome of sports events. Bettors choose from various markets, like predicting winners, scores, or specific events during a game. Odds set by bookmakers reflect probabilities and payouts. If the bet is correct, the bettor wins based on the odds; otherwise, they lose the wagered amount.
