Special Bet (Props)

Special bets (abbreviated as "proposition bets") refer to those wagers that are not based on the final score of the game. If a bet is not a point spread, total points, or win/loss bet, it is generally considered a special bet.

Most sportsbooks offer countless special betting options. These may include how many points a player scores, how many yards a running back gains, or how many interceptions a team has.

Game Special Bets

Game special bets are any wagers that do not involve specific players. Instead, game special bets typically involve entire teams or two teams. For example, total turnovers, which team will score first, and whether there will be a safety, among others.

Player Special Bets

As the name suggests, player special bets involve specific players. Player special bets are related to specific player statistics. Some examples include total passing/rushing/receiving yards, first touchdown scorer, and whether a triple-double will be recorded.
