A future bet is a straight
bet on an event or outcome that is relatively
far off in the future. For example, you can bet
that the Minnesota Vikings will win the Super
Bowl long before the NFL season even starts, or
that Jeff Gordon will win the Winston Cup before
the first race in the series has even been run.
Check the Futures Bets section to see what bets

Futures bets are money line
bets and the odds are continually updated during
the period leading up to the time when the bets
are taken off the board. You receive the odds
that are in effect at the time you place your
bet. Because circumstances can change so much
from the date the bet is offered to the date of
the actual event - making predicting outcomes
very difficult - futures bets often offer very
attractive, high odds to the bettor.
