But they've become so popular that at any point, these apps are handling millions of transactions at once.
So there are a lot of different types of betting you can make at legal sportsbooks.
And I do want to say a couple of caveats.
So I don't have to repeat it every single time.
If you win in any of these cases, you're going to get the amount that you bet in return along with your winnings.
And then another one, betting lines and odds are always changing.
Remember those algorithms.
And sportsbooks will adjust them in real time.
So by the time that you're listening to this, the numbers that I'm quoting might be slightly different.
So if you go and check and they're not the same, don't get mad at me.
All right, so starting off, money lines are the simplest.
You're just going to pick who wins the game.
Now, DraftKings shows that for the Super Bowl, the Seahawks are the heavy favorite at minus 240.
And that means that you'd have to bet $240 to win $100.
Once again, you'd get your $240 back.
Now, the Patriots are the underdog at plus 195.
And that means if you made a $100 bet and the Pats upset, you'd win $195 and get your $100 back.
Again, it's the easiest.
It's the simplest.
And you're just saying, who wins?
