Online betting is a fast, easy and reliable way to place wagers on the outcome of sporting events. The leading sportsbooks offer a wide range of betting markets, including NFL, NHL and NBA games as well as tennis, auto racing, college sports and even golf and esports. They also offer a variety of different betting odds, including decimal, fractional and American.
Most states now have legalized online sports betting, with New Jersey and Nevada leading the way. Delaware and Pennsylvania followed suit, while West Virginia jumped on board in 2021. It is important to stick with legitimate, licensed operators in your state and not shady offshore sites that operate outside the US.
Bovada is one of the best sportsbooks for football and basketball fans, boasting upwards of 25 different wagering options.

The site’s What’s Ya Wager prop-building tool enables customers to construct their own wagers on almost any aspect of the games they are betting on.
The NFL is one of the most popular sports to bet on, thanks to the many variables that can affect a game. This is why the best sportsbooks offer a great selection of NFL bets, including both pre-game and in-play markets. Ice hockey and soccer are also popular bets, while esports continue to grow in popularity and some sportsbooks now offer wagers on League of Legends through to Call of Duty.
