Making a Sports Betting Wager: A Beginner's Guide

Betting on sports is easier than you think. First, start by determining your wager and finding the rotation number, which can be found on the board, betting sheets, or sports book wall. Identify the team or total you want to bet on, and locate the rotation number. Then, head to the teller and read off the number with the amount you want to bet. Double-check the point spread, as it may have changed since the morning.

For example, if you want to bet on BYU, find the rotation number and head to the teller. You might notice that the listed point spread on your sheet is 6, but the teller tells you it's actually 5. Always check the point spread before finalizing your bet to ensure you're getting the best odds. With a little practice, making a sports bet is quick and easy.
