After watching twenty videos of confusion on sports betting, I’ve finally come upon a gem of a video. What a great teacher! Thank you.

[pepijnlankamp]

Thank you man as a European I am used to decimal odds so I had no idea how American betting odds worked. Both an easy and a very effective explanation.

[kittyprydex]

Writing a book, and I really, really needed this kind of breakdown. Thank you for making it easy enough not just to understand but repackage into a story. Super grateful.

[benjaminnicholson]

This was actually an Oscar worthy breakdown 🤣

[boricuacut]

Ive never had a person whether it be adult, peer, certainly not a teacher have effective wording to simplify their explanation thoroughly while keeping me as engaged as I was throughout the entire video THOUGH. Why weren't you my teacher for all subjects throughout each grade K-12 ??!

[Jinpachin]

Algebra SO HARD thank you Uncle Mitch great explaining

[MrKoolBreeze]

That clipper fan joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love it!! It's Showtime baby!!

[ExavierGardner]

[AlbanianBall.]

I hope you all already heard about *WISPRED* and their predictions? If you didn't, you must...

[thatsjalisa]

Best video i saw.. thanks for telling again and again that I ain't dumb :)

[SKCandygirl]

thanks new to action as a NON-AMERICAN but gotta say there isn't an equally nice alerting app to my knowledge. - I do wish action would had the option to change odds to x instead i.e +110 could be x2.1

[nolacstackst]

Great video.. quick, well explained, and written examples... The 2 videos i unfortunately started watching before i came across yours they where terrible at explaining this lol.. when i clicked on YOURS tho.... instant understanding 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[tamarasophia]

Uncle Mitch, that was a totally clear explanation, thank you so much! I would like to know how to read the over/under section...when I am looking at a game...and I look at the over/under page..its extremely unclear what the sports books have determined to be their over/under number. Also, is this just in North American sports, or is over/under done in other countries?

[Timothy-Lucas]

Thanks Uncle Mitch. I feel more confident in doing my first bet, but would like some more videos to break down some things before I take my first plunge. Are winnings taxed, how are they taxed, and can you do anything with losses? You may not be able to provide that information, but it's a barrier for me. Who should I bet through? Is there any reason to use one system over another (Draftkings, Fanduel, BetMGM, Caesars, Barstool) or are they all the same? Do any of these have a fake money system I can bet through (similar to Webull and stocks) to practice bet?


-Not dumb, system dumb Tim

I’m a new sports better and your video was great explaining things keeping it light . Some of your cuts in the video got me dying. I subscribed because of that not the content. Lol I learned a lot. And beans on toast I gotta try. Thanks for your time.
