Vegas Books Offer New Fantasy Sports Betting Format
Most Las Vegas Sports Books now offering a unique fantasy sports betting system.
USFantasy Sports offers a menu of skilled fantasy sports contests in football, basketball, hockey, baseball, MMA, boxing, golf and NASCAR. You can now bet at your favorite Vegas Sports Book on a pari-mutual style of betting similar to horse racing with same type of bets.
There is win, place and show betting on different players based on a point based performance system similar to standard fantasy sports as Fan Duel and others. However, there are exotic bets like the trifecta, super trifecta, exacta and daily double.
Some other betting options offer common pool sports wagering propositions which offers a variety of possible outcomes in individual contests. A good example is a proposition offering a group of skill position players to bet who will score first in a particular game with different odds.
Common Pool or Pari-Mutual Wagering – Common pool or pari-mutual is a betting system in which contestants wager against one another with odds being determined by the percentage of the total prize pool that is bet on each athlete or team. All wagers are combined in one common pool. The odds are continuously updated and presented to the contestants in real-time. Final odds on an athlete or team odds might fluctuate until a contest is closed. A contest is closed at the start time of the first sporting event in the prop.
All of the individual contests are listed on one propositional card or betting sheet with easy to read layout. The payout price listed is the amount that is paid back for every $2 that is wagered. It includes the $2 wager in the payout amount.
A recent payout example during the NFC championship game between Atlanta and Green Bay was $24 for a $2 bet. The proposition was listed as prop number 7, entry number 4. It stated “Atlanta by 21 or more points” with an opening line of 9 to 1. It closed at 11 to 1 plus the $2 bet which equals 24. There were 7 entries for prop 7 that stated different winning margins for the Falcons and Packers. A $20 bet would have returned $240 for every $2 bet.
In a previous divisional round game between Green Bay and Dallas, Dez Bryant had a payout on his leading point performance of $44.40 for a $2 bet. Apparently, Bryant was overlooked in the betting pool by bettors putting more money on other players. Getting $44.40 for a $2 bet on a quality high performance player is a rewarding payout with very small risk.
USFantasy uses “flex odds” that dynamically changes odds as wagers occur. Flex odds wagers differ from standard fixed odds sports wagers because the final payout odds and numbers are not determined until the contest is closed. Similar to other forms of wagering, the flex odds and ways to wager with USFantasy Sports presents more chances to win. Much like horse racing, you can bet on a player to come in first, second or third or exactas, two players to come in first and second. Other options are trifectas, three players come in first, second and third; and daily doubles, players come in first in two separate contests – these additional options give you more ways to win.
If you’re new to DFS or sports betting, USFantasy Sports is a great entry point for you. It’s simple and user-friendly with everything you need to know right on their website with little intimidation due to playing against sharks or experts. The flex odds give you multiple ways to play and more ways to win.
There is no betting on their website at usfantasy.com. All betting and payouts are done through the sports book that a bettor used to participate.
