Sportsbet is an online betting site and app that allows Aussies to place wagers on…well, pretty much anything. This includes horse races, cricket matches, reality TV contests and even random outcomes like a soccer game ending in a draw or an NBA team beating its rival.

There are a variety of different ways to bet on sports, from moneylines and spreads to prop bets. Many people enjoy betting on sports because it adds another layer of excitement to the games they watch, and it can also be a great way to win some extra cash. However, as with any gambling activity, there are always risks associated with placing a bet and it’s important to know your limits.

The most common way to bet on sports is at a traditional sportsbook. This involves going up to a window and having a ticket written out, or you can do it online through a website or app. Betting in-person can be a fun experience and offers the full sportsbook experience of crowds yelling at screens with their money on the line.

The Sportsbet app has a great selection of betting markets, including local and international horse racing odds updated in real time and live betting on over 1000 sports events. It also has a Bet with Mates function and an extensive range of features such as Speedmaps, stats, insights, tips and more. Unfortunately, some of these features are low value and don’t give Sportsbet a competitive edge over other bookmakers. Sportsbet has a geo-block for most countries, but using a VPN to spoof your IP address can help you get around this restriction.
