Arbitrage betting is a combination of the ancient art of <a href="/wiki/Arbitrage" title="Arbitrage">arbitrage</a> trading and gambling, which has been made possible by the large numbers of bookmakers in the marketplace, creating occasional opportunities for arbitrage. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Other_types_of_betting">Other types of betting</h3></div> <p>One can also bet with another person that a statement is true or false, or that a specified event will happen (a "back bet") or will not happen (a "lay bet") within a specified time. This occurs in particular when two people have opposing but strongly held views on truth or events. Not only do the parties hope to gain from the bet, they place the bet also to demonstrate their certainty about the issue. Some means of determining the issue at stake must exist. Sometimes the amount bet remains nominal, demonstrating the outcome as one of principle rather than of financial importance. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Bet_exchange" class="mw-redirect" title="Bet exchange">Betting exchanges</a> allow consumers to both back and lay at odds of their choice.

When gambles are selected through a choice process – when people indicate which gamble they prefer from a set of gambles (e.g., win/lose, over/under) – people tend to prefer to bet on the outcome that is more likely to occur. Bettors tend to prefer to bet on favorites in athletic competitions, and sometimes will accept even bets on favorites when offered more favorable bets on the less likely outcome (e.g., an underdog team).<sup id="cite_ref-68" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-68"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>68<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><i><a href="/wiki/Optimism_bias" title="Optimism bias">Optimism</a>/Desirability Bias<b>.</b></i> Gamblers also exhibit optimism, overestimating the likelihood that desired events will occur.

Gamblers exhibit reluctance to bet against the success of their preferred U.S. presidential candidates and Major League Baseball, National Football League, National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) basketball, and NCAA hockey teams. More than 45% of NCAA fans in Studies 5 and 6, for instance, turned down a "free" real $5 bet against their team. From a psychological perspective, such a "<a href="/wiki/Hedge_(finance)" title="Hedge (finance)">hedge</a>" creates an interdependence dilemma – a motivational conflict between a short-term monetary gain and the long-term benefits accrued from feelings of <a href="/wiki/Social_identity_theory" title="Social identity theory">identification</a> with and loyalty to a position, person, or group whom the bettor desires to succeed.

People make <a href="/wiki/Self-perception_theory" title="Self-perception theory">inferences</a> about their beliefs and identity from their behavior.
