Exotic Bet Meaning – Betting on Unusual & Strange Picks

An exotic bet is a non-standard bet, often referring to any bet outside the handful of normal bets like moneyline, spread, or parlay.

Exotic bets often don’t impact the overall result of the game, so whether a particular team wins or loses the game often makes no difference.

For example, you can place an exotic bet on who you think will win the pregame coin toss or how many assists a player will have during a game.

Some books will even let you bet on funny and unusual exotic bets like who you think the MVP will thank first or how long the anthem will last.
