Coming to Terms with Prop Bets
A prop bet, which is short for proposition bet, is generally a bet made on the outcome of an event or the proposition thereof, that is, on the occurrence or so-called non-occurrence of something happening, without being directly linked to the final outcome of a game. It is also often called a side bet, and can often also be described as a dare for money, which is more the case in terms of novelty prop bets where bettors would take on a certain dare in order to win. Prop bets can be placed on a range of different events or happenings.
