Markets and Lines on TopBet
TopBet is a bold looking site, decorated in gold and black. When you open up the sportsbook you can see all the betting markets listed down the left hand side. These are organized by sport via tabs which can be opened up to display different leagues. There is also Live Betting here, allowing you to choose lines on events already running – and a dedicated Parlay tab with offers on multi-line bets.
At TopBet you can find wide coverage of the main US sports. These include NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL. There are also lines for College Football and Basketball games. In addition to this UFC and boxing fights are priced, along with PGA golf tournaments and NASCAR racing.
There is plenty of European action here too, with many of the top tennis tournaments covered, along with soccer action from the world’s top leagues. These include the English Premier League and Spanish La Liga, along with coverage of international competitions such as the World Cup or UEFA Euro 2016. While the main events and leagues are well covered, TopBet does not have the breadth of coverage of some other books when it comes to niche sports or minor leagues.
Once you open up a market, all the lines are displayed in the centre of the screen. These all have win lines, and many feature other prop bets and Asian handicaps (totals) too. There is a section too for Live Betting, so you can place wagers as you watch the game unfold, or back up your existing position.
For those who enjoy the thrill of a potentially big win, there is a separate section for parlay bets, allowing you to group a number of selections together. These can all easily be added to the parlay card, and once you wager is confirmed you can sit back and sweat all the day’s action.
