Head-to-Head Bets
For sports such as NASCAR and professional golf, a common way to bet these events is to bet on the head-to-head results between just two competitors. Whichever one finishes the race or the tournament in the higher position wins. Many times a money line will be attached to each competitor to handicap the match.
This type of bet is very popular for sports such as these, because of the higher difficulty that involves picking an outright winner among a very large pool of competitors.
