PROPOSITIONS AND FUTURES

Propositions (Props)
Props, or proposition wagers, are bets based on the outcome of a specific event.
Example: Prop - Dow Jones Wagering
In the next 3 months, will the Dow Jones Index drop below 13,000 on a closing basis?
| Selection |
Odds |
| Yes | +800 |
| No | -1,000 |
At +800, if you bet "Yes" for $100, you are betting that by the closing date of the prop (9/9/16), the Dow Index will indeed drop below 13,000. At 8-to-1 odds, if you are right, your $100 will return $800 in profit, plus your initial $100 wager.

Futures
Future wagers are bets placed far in advance on the outcome of an event (usually a full season or playoff). For example, you can place a future wager on the MLB World Series winner before the start of the MLB season.
Example: Super Bowl 59 Futures
Before the start of the NFL season, you can bet on each team to win the Super Bowl. In the example below, if you bet on the Steelers to win the Super Bowl, you would win $2,200 for every $100 wagered if the Steelers become the champions of Super Bowl 59.
