What is Futures Betting?

Complete guide to futures betting and season-long predictions. Learn how futures markets work and how AI models identify value in championship odds.

Futures Betting builds on the fundamentals of moneyline and spread betting. Once you're comfortable with those basics, futures betting opens up a wider range of strategic opportunities.

How Futures Betting works

Futures bets are wagers on events that will be determined in the future — typically weeks or months away. Common futures include championship winners (Super Bowl, Stanley Cup), division winners, MVP awards, and season win totals. Futures typically offer higher payouts because the uncertainty is greater.

Real example

Example

Lions to win Super Bowl at +800: A $100 bet pays $800 if the Lions win the Super Bowl. The bet is active for the entire season and playoffs.

How AI gives you an edge

Traditional futures betting analysis relies on gut feelings, media narratives, and surface-level stats. Our AI models process thousands of data points that human analysts miss, identifying value bets with mathematical precision.

AI Edge

Futures markets are the most inefficient in sports betting — our models project season outcomes with more accuracy than pre-season odds imply.

By combining machine learning with historical data across thousands of games, our models find edges in futures betting markets that would take human analysts hours to uncover. And you get access to all of it for 99 cents per sport.
