Prop bet or proposition bet is also known as novelty bets or side bets. Proposition bet comprises a wide variety of bets. But generally, proposition bet refers to different bets that are made without concern for the game’s direct outcomes. It is instead a bet that is made on how often the occurrences in the game happen.
Yes or no prop bets
In many proposition bets, it is usually made in the form of a question. This prop bet is one of those. It is one of the popular prop bets because it was just so easy as it was just a straight decision. You just have to bet on the odds of yes or no from the given question. Questions like, “Will my team get the first score?”; “Yes or No?”; “Will there be overtime?”; or “Will there be a penalty kick?”; were the famous examples to create a Prop bet.

Leading score
This prop bet is commonly prevalent in basketball games. It is a bet on an individual player to which player will gain the largest score in the game. Therefore, it is not about which team wins the game.
You can only focus on a single player that you bet on. If you bet on this kind of proposition bet, you need to know and further research players in the game to get the winning odds.
First score
This proposition bet also requires background knowledge of the team’s performance and each player to increase the chance of winning. In this prop bet, you have to bet on which team will score first. This would be harder than the leading score prop bet, but this would allow you to build a slow and steady profit.
