How futures betting worksįutures betting odds can open before the start of a season and take bets throughout the year, with bookmakers adjusting those odds in reaction to season results, injuries, and trades, as well as the amount of money wagered on certain teams or outcomes. These bets are decided by longer-term results and outcomes that are usually settled at the end of a season or tournament. Futures bets are wagers placed on events such as which team will win the championship or who will win the MVP.
