What Is Line Betting?
This betting market is commonly referred to as spread betting or handicap betting. This betting market handicaps the stronger team by a number of points or gives the underdogs a head start by adding to their points before the game starts. With this, odds are evened out and players can wager on whether the stronger team will win despite the handicap or the underdogs will emerge victorious courtesy of the handicap. This betting market is common in sports in Football, Basketball, Tennis, and Volleyball.
What is Totals Betting?
Also known as over and unders, this betting market allows Indonesian punters to wager on the total number of points/touchdowns/goals that will be scored by both or individual teams. This betting market is available as a pre-game or in-play betting market.Â
What is Moneyline Betting?
This is the easiest and most popular sports betting market amongst Indonesian sports bettors, offering players a chance to pick the winner of a match-up. Depending on the sport, moneyline bets can be in two forms: two-way moneyline or three-way moneyline bets. Two-way moneyline bets exclude the possibility of a draw and are available in sports like tennis, while three-way moneylines are available in sports like football.Â
What is Proposition Betting?
Otherwise known as prop bets, this betting market allows players to wager on game conditions that don’t depend on the final result of the game. Betting options in this category include the next goal scorer, next booking, next corner, and many more.Â

Sports Betting Odds
Otherwise known as betting lines, Betting odds are a numerical representation of the probability of your predictions actually occurring. Besides showing the bookmaker’s accessment of how likely it is for an event to happen, odds indicate how much you stand to win relative to your stake. Higher odds mean a bigger potential payout, but also a lower probability of success.Â
Odds Margins on MelBet
Before offering sports betting odds to players, bookmakers adjust them downwards to ensure a built-in profit. These adjustments create a hidden transaction cost for punters, known as the margin, which varies based on the popularity of the sport or tournament. Generally, the lower the margin, the better it is for bettors.Â
At MelBet, we are a transparent bookmaker that prioritizes your overall online betting experience over our own profits. Besides offering our MelBet lines in five different formats, including the Indonesian format, here’s a highlight of our margins on popular sports in comparison to the industry average.Â
