Bet Types at DraftKings Sportsbook Alberta
DraftKings Sportsbook is highlighted by its depth of betting markets. In fact, DraftKings has the most markets available among all Alberta betting apps. Learn more about those bet types here.
Moneylines
A moneyline bet is a straight-up pick on which team or player wins, with no point spread involved. It is the simplest bet type on the board and a common starting point for newer bettors at DraftKings.
Point Spreads
Point spreads level the playing field between a favourite and an underdog by attaching a margin of victory to the wager. DraftKings posts spreads across all of its major Alberta markets, including the NHL and CFL.
Totals (Over/Under)
Totals betting asks whether the combined score of both teams will land over or under a set number. DraftKings updates totals throughout the day as lineups and conditions shift.
Parlays
Parlays combine multiple selections into a single wager for a bigger potential payout. DraftKings allows bettors to mix bet types and sports within the same parlay slip.
Player Props
Player props let bettors wager on individual statistical outcomes, such as goals, shots on goal, or passing yards. DraftKings is known for posting player props early and updating them frequently.
Team Props
Team props focus on outcomes tied to an entire team rather than the final score, such as total penalty minutes or first team to score. DraftKings offers a wide selection of these markets on marquee games.
Futures
Futures are longer-term wagers on outcomes like championship winners or division titles. DraftKings keeps futures boards open well ahead of and throughout each season.
Live Bets
Live, or in-play, betting lets bettors wager on a game as it unfolds, with odds adjusting in real time. DraftKings has built its live betting product around fast-moving markets that update play by play.
