Time is winding down to when Ohio sports betting will finally be legal. Ohio casinos and racetracks paved the way in 2021, and now the rules and regulations are being ironed out for Ohio online sports books to join in the fun. Once Ohio mobile sports betting is open for business, sports fans across the state will be able to use unique Ohio sportsbook promo codes to wager on their favorite teams and athletes. From Cleveland to Columbus, from Cincinnati to Akron, sports fans in the Buckeye State will be able to place bets from the comfort of their own homes thanks to legalized Ohio online sports betting sites.

Once Ohio internet sports betting is open for business, Ohio sports betting promotions will be very popular. Ohio sports betting promo codes can give first-time players risk-free bets, deposit matches, odds boosts, and more. Before you check out all that Ohio sports betting deposit codes have to offer, you should get familiar with popular betting terms and tips. Below are some tips from our friends at SportsLine.

There are several ways you can make sports wagers both online and in retail sportsbooks and plenty of bet types you'll want to familiarize yourself with.

Over-Under: This method is best used if you are expecting a game to have a very high or very low score, like in pro basketball. Sportsbooks will set a total number of points expected for a game and then bettors decide which side of that number the combined scores will land on. If the over-under for a basketball game between Cleveland and Chicago is 220, you can bet on whether the total of the two scores will be more or less than 220.

Proposition bets: A "prop" bet is a wager on a given outcome within a game other than the final score. A prop bet in a baseball game between Cleveland and Cincinnati could be on whether a big hitter for Cleveland hits a home run. A bet could also be placed on whether Cincinnati's starting pitcher makes it through seven innings or on how many strikeouts he records.

Futures: Want to bet on more than just a single game? Futures bets are more of big-picture gambles on long-term events, like a full sports season. You can wager on if Cleveland's pro baseball team will win the championship or which player will win the season-ending MVP award. Even though the pro football season is still a few months away, bettors can make early wagers on how they think Cincinnati's pro football team will perform.
