Which category of markets is defined as pre-event bets?

• A. Pre-match bets.
• B. In-play bets.
• C. Novelty/prop markets.
• D. Future bets.

Answer: (A)

Bets that are placed before the event starts define pre-event wagering. This timing distinction is what “pre-event” refers to, and the category that matches it is pre-match bets, which are the standard wagers placed before kickoff or the event begins. The odds are set beforehand and the bet is settled on the final outcome of the event.

In-play bets are placed during the event as it unfolds and react to live events, so they aren’t pre-event. Novelty/prop markets cover bets on specific events or attributes related to the game but aren’t defined by the timing of placement. Future bets look further ahead than the current event, such as season-long outcomes, not the immediate pre-event window.
