Single [Meaning] - MasterTerms.com

Single

A single is a bet placed on one selection in a sporting event.

In this type of bet, if the selection wins, the bettor receives a payout based on the odds set for that outcome. It is one of the simplest forms of betting, where the outcome of only one event determines whether the bet is successful. The risk is lower compared to multi-selection bets since it does not rely on the outcome of multiple events.

Single Example

For example, a bettor places a single bet of $50 on a football team to win. If the team wins, the bettor collects the payout based on the odds offered, such as $150 at 2:1 odds.
