What betting terms confused you at the start? Any tips for newbies on which ones they should master first before placing serious bets?

If you are the type that bet with more than one casino you should look out for the type of bookmakers odd. I know of common 3 types.

1. The fraction odds which is commonly known to be the British type of odd. It is written in fractions. For example 5/1, 10/3). And you can find them in some casino.

2. The decimal odds. So basically this is the most popular type of odds used. We can find them in with most casinos and local sportsbook. This is how it is , 2.00, 3.50, 4.21 etc. I believe most bettors are familiar with this one.

3. The American fraction type of odd. Honestly, this is one odds I still cant wrap my head around. It has to involve a negative and a positive sign before the odds. For example, -105 +105 and +102 -102. The first time I come across this type of odd was when i place a bet in Bet105. Till date, I didn't know the odds i choose.
