Built in 1946, the Golden Nugget was one of the first casinos in Las Vegas. So the brand name has a solid reputation. Golden Nugget operates land-based sportsbooks in its casinos in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, and has expanded to online sports gambling with legal sports betting sweeping the US.

Golden Nugget has sportsbook websites available to online and mobile players in New Jersey and Michigan, with plans for further expansion. The company won its 10th state license in Virginia in March and is waiting on future regulatory approvals and legislation to increase its growing online presence.

With its strong land-based presence in Nevada and NJ, Golden Nugget has built a trusted name in sports betting. The land-based sportsbook is at the Golden Nugget in Atlantic City (600 Huron Avenue).

The GoldenNugget Sportsbook is regulated in NJ under license number NJIGP 15-002 and was approved by the Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE), the governmental agency which oversees NJ's casino gaming. Golden Nugget has been doing business online since 2013 and acquired one of the world’s largest operators, Betfair, in November 2014.

With so many professional teams in the Tri-State area, Golden Nugget Sportsbook offers players easy online gambling. Popular local betting options are the NFL’s Jets and Giants, MLB’s Mets and Yankees, the NBA’s Knicks and Nets, the NHL’s Rangers, Islanders and Devils, the MLS’s Red Bulls and NYCFC and the WNBA’s Liberty and Sun.

The Golden Nugget NJ sportsbook has competitive odds and a range of sports bets online. These include straight bets in spread betting, moneylines, totals, in-play (live), futures and props bet markets, parlays and teasers.

Sports betting options are plenty at the Golden Nugget online sportsbook and there are many different bets within a given sporting event. Here are some of the most basic bets offered at the Golden Nugget sportsbook and some odds-based working examples:

Straight bets have just one element and can be made in point spread, moneyline, totals, futures, props and live (in-game) markets.

For example, a line at Golden Nugget online for the NFL Week 1 opener sees the Buccaneers as 7-point favorites (-115) over the Cowboys. To win $10, a bettor would have to make an $11.50 wager on TB and the Bucs must win by 8 or more points. A Dallas backer would take that side +7 (-105) and only have to bet $10.50 to win $10 and would need the Cowboys to lose by 6 points or less (or win) to collect. If the Bucs win by 7, it's a push and all bettors get their money back (but no profit).

Or Over/Under. This can be made as a straight bet or in a parlay and is based on the total score (combined points, runs, goals or rounds) in a given game or match.

Using that same NFL Week 1 opener, the current total for Buccaneers-Cowboys is at 51.5 (-110). Over bettors would have to bet $11 for every $10 they would hope to win and root for 52 or more total points. Under backers would pull for the combined points scored to be 51 or less.

These don’t have a handicap or point spread and simply require the team you bet on to win.

Again with that same NFL opener, Golden Nugget had the Buccaneers as -310 favorites with the underdog Cowboys priced at +245. To win $100, a TB backer would have to bet $310 for a $100 profit. Dallas bettor would bet $100 to try to win $245 if Dallas prevails.

These bets have two or more elements and can even combine different sports. Parlays only reward bettors if all individual elements win. Parlays let players mix bet types (point spread, moneyline, totals) and leagues. They can be a fun and potentially profitable way to approach games and the betting board.

For example, an MLB bet could have a 5-team parlay with the Reds (-310), Padres (-150), Giants (-150), Braves (-230) and Rays (-320) to win. All five teams must win for the wager to cash. A theoretical 5-leg Parlay for these teams at those odds prices could result in a +587 payout (5.87x amount of bet) so $10 would pay $58.70).

These bets can be made before or during a season on a team, player or horse.

An example is for the Breeders’ Cup Classic, where current futures odds see Knicks Go as the race favorite priced at +600. Should the horse win, bettors who backed Knicks Go at 6/1 would have a better price than those betting the same horse to win at the window in the event on race day.

A proposition wager, or prop, is a specific outcome within a game not related to the final score or total. These can feature individual player props, or as in the case with the NFL’s Super Bowl, sometimes cross-sport and cross-event prop bets. These wagers can be set for individual games, races or entire seasons.

Some working examples from the Super Bowl are the coin toss (heads or tails) or who scores the first touchdown. In Super Bowl LV, Buccaneers TE Rob Gronkowski scored the game’s first TD and rewarded backers at healthy 18/1 odds. A season win total offering is essentially a prop and a futures bet. Tampa Bay bettors can back the Buccaneers to win more (Over, -135) or fewer (Under, +115) than 11½ games in the upcoming 2021 NFL regular season.

This type of bet is relatively new in the U.S. market but is popular in other countries. Live bets (alternatively called in-game or in-play wagers) let gamblers make new bets during a game or event. As online sports gambling, mobile betting and apps evolve, expect more live betting options.

In a recent MLB game, the Reds were -310 favorites over the Cubs, Chicago took a 1-0 lead, so the live odds on Cincinnati to win lowered to -170. The Cubs, big underdogs before the game, were just +130 when they led 1-0 at Cincinnati after one inning. Odds are always changing in this market.

Halftime (or quarter or period) wagers apply to the score of an event after a set segment of a game. Many sports have individual markets like period betting in hockey, first 5 innings wagering in MLB or quarters betting on the NFL and NBA.

Let's say in England's Premier League, Liverpool at -½ is priced at -170 to be up by at least one goal after 45 minutes (plus injury time). Burnley at +½ is +125 in the first half. A 0-0 halftime score would see Burnley bettors cash because of that half-goal given.

Run line, goal line and puck line bets are specific to baseball, soccer and hockey. These lines are usually -1½ runs or goals (MLB, soccer, hockey) or -½ goals (soccer, hockey). Some NHL and soccer games seeing -2½ goal or puck lines offered, depending on the game and sportsbook.

Examples from the Liverpool-Burnley match see Liverpool -1½ goals priced at +1.57 to win by 2 or more and Liverpool -2 at +2.5. Should the Reds beat Burnley by 2 goals, bettors laying the 1½ goals would win while gamblers laying 2 goals would push and get their money back. If Liverpool wins by 3 goals or more, both -1½ and -2 bettors would cash their bet slip.

These are offered by various bookmakers and betting sites and Golden Nugget Sportsbook has a nice selection depending on the sport. With an alternate line, point spreads or totals are booked several points higher or lower than standard lines, with odds moving accordingly. Football spreads are adjusted 1 to 14 points higher (or more) than the line.

A working example in MLB sees a Padres-Rockies game total - set and priced at 14 Over -115 - offering an alternate total of 13, with the Over -165 and the Under +140. Alternate totals of 13½ (Over -135, Under +115) and 14½ (Over +100, Under -120) were also set for this game.

With several deposit methods, making sports bets at the Golden Nugget NJ sportsbook is fairly easy. The site runs on Scientific Games’ OpenSports engine, a state-of-the-art technology allowing more bets to be quickly processed.

Golden Nugget offers top-notch live betting experience because of the online sportsbook software and speed of navigation. With constantly changing odds - also employed by its Michigan website - the great graphics, visuals, live game clocks and many betting options, this app is among the best online sportsbooks. Our Golden Nugget sportsbook review found that this app is always on top of game information to offer a great live betting experience.

The Golden Nugget Sportsbook also offers a special Cash Out option for online sports betting players with a green symbol. Bettors can cash out a pending wager - for lesser or greater than the original staked bet amount - which will be reflective of the current odds at that time. Sophisticated players can lock in a win or cut losses.

To cash out a pending bet, players at the Golden Nugget sportsbook site need to make a wager on an event with the green Cash Out symbol; access My Bets at the top of the Bet Slip; view the Cash Out tab to see the current offer, then select the Cash Out button. That immediately adds the current odds-affected and agreed to amount into the player’s account.

The Golden Nugget Sportsbook online offers Odds Boosts for games like the live “Golden Lines” plus some Futures markets and other events. The website also serves up special “Parlay Boost” bets for many sports and bet types.

The Parlay Boost works when the player successfully chooses at least three (and up to 20) qualifying selections. This boost pays out 1% incrementally from 3 selections (3%) to 20 selections (+20%). So, for example, a winning 11-selection Parlay Boost bet would add an 11% boost to the bet’s winnings.

The Parlay Boost at Golden Nugget Sportsbook requires all bets in the online gambling parlay to have odds of -145 or higher. The maximum boost per parlay is $10,000 and parlays already cashed out don’t qualify. A free bet cannot be used for the parlay boost.
