A Single Bet is considered as the simplest form of sports bets since you only have to place a bet on one selection in one event.
Online sports betting sites, like SportsBet.com, usually provide a list of all available selections and events. Football odds typically look like:
| FIXTURE / MATCHUP | HOME | DRAW | AWAY |
|---|---|---|---|
| FC Barcelona v Manchester United | 1/4 | 1/2 | 4/1 |
| Arsenal FC v Bayern Munich | 2/5 | 7/2 | 15/2 |
| AC Milan v Olympique de Marseille | 1/5 | 11/2 | 14/1 |
If you place a Single Bet on FC Barcelona at odds of 1/4, you risk €10.00 to win €2.50. If FC Barcelona wins, you get your €10.00 wager plus your €2.50 winnings for a total payout of €12.50.
Meanwhile, if you place a Single Bet on Manchester United at odds of 4/1, you are risking €40.00 to win €10.00. If Manchester United wins, you get your €40.00 wager plus your €10.00 winnings for a total payout of €50.00.
Single Bets can also be placed on the Correct Score of a particular match. Odds for this bet usually look like:

| 2-0 6/1 | 1-1 15/1 | 2-0 40/1 |
| 2-1 7/1 | 2-3 18/1 | 2-1 22/1 |
If you place a Single Bet on the Correct Score of FC Barcelona 1-0 at odds of 6/1, you are risking €10.00 to win €60.00. If FC Barcelona wins 1-0 against Manchester United, you get your €10.00 wager plus €60.00 winnings for a total payout of €70.00.
