👉 A betting weapon is a type of bet in sports gambling where a bettor wagers on the outcome that is not the most likely to happen, but still has a reasonable probability of occurring. For instance, if a team is expected to win by a small margin, the betting weapon might be placed on a closer finisher, like a 10-point lead instead of the expected 15-point lead. This bet offers a higher payout than a straight bet but lower odds, making it more advantageous for the bettor if their prediction is correct. Weapons are often used to capitalize on perceived imbalances in the odds or to profit from overconfidence in the outcome.
