Bet Types at Plainridge Park Sportsbook
All of the standard sports bets that you can find at most sportsbooks are also available at Plainridge Park Sportsbook. When you arrive at the sportsbook at Plainridge Park Casino, you'll be able to place the following wagers among others:
![]()
MoneylinesThis is the most basic kind of wager, where a straight bet is placed on the winner of an event. Odds are listed with a plus sign (underdog) or minus sign (traditional favorites). If the New England Patriots are at +120, they're slight underdogs, and a $100 bet on them would return a profit of $120.
![]()
Point SpreadsWhen using this kind of bet, you wager on the margin of victory, rather than just on the winner of the game. For example, if you bet on the Boston Red Sox at -1.5, the Sox has to win by 2 runs or more for the bet to win. On the other hand, if you're betting on the underdog, your team can still "cover" the spread and lose the game.
![]()
FuturesFutures bets are long-term wagers, on things like the winner of the final season event or championship. An early-season bet on the New England Patriots to win the Super Bowl, however ill-advised, is a futures bet.
![]()
TotalsThis kind of bet is a wager on whether the combined points/goals total for an event is over or under the points line defined by the sportsbook. For instance, there might be a line of 5.5 for a game between the Boston Bruins and the New York Rangers, so you have to bet on whether you think there will be 5 goals or fewer (under) or 6 goals or more (over).

ParlaysParlay bets are a combination of two or more wagers where both outcomes must be correct for the bet to pay out money. There are plenty of parlay bets that you can make at the sportsbook at Plainridge Park Casino, so the possibilities can be endless!

Prop BetsThese are often considered "fun" bets since you can place a wager on a specific event, rather than on the outcome of the game overall. For instance, bettors can wager on a certain New England Patriots player's passing yards.
