Element: Stake

Something to remember:The level of a stake is relative to the bettor. It's best never to comment on a stake being either high or low.

A stake is the money a player risks when placing a bet. If the bet wins, the player will receive a payout based on the initial stake. If the bet loses, the player will lose their initial stake.

Risk

The element of risk is the exciting part of betting. This is what brings most players to bet with us! The possibility to win big off of long odds or lose everything on a sure thing is what drives the thrilling experience that Hard Rock Sportsbook offers. No favorite is 100% to win, and no underdog is guaranteed to lose. This risk is reflected in the odds, as well as the payout.
