A future bet is a long-term wager made on an event that will occur in the following weeks or months. Most future bets involve season-long team statistics or who will win the league championship.
== About Futures ==
Because futures usually involve events with a small relative probability of occurring most bets feature [[long odd]]s. Most [[sportsbook]]s display futures with [[fractional odd]]s. The most common type of future bet involves which team will win their respective league's championship. Futures are often available throughout the on-going season with oddsmakers adjusting the lines based on game-by-game progress.
Below is an example of mid-season NBA championship odds along with a sample risk/return:
