Let’s Talk Money: BetUS Offers Betting Odds on Company Share Prices

The stock market has been in major flux since the new administration instituted tariffs and other comments have been made about President Donald Trump with the word recession. Company share prices have tumbled on a wild ride. 

BetUS, America’s Favorite Sportsbook, has taken this opportunity to give people the chance to make a bet of their own without having to risk stock market futures. Betting on the stock market is the way to go in this roller-coaster economy. And by betting we don’t mean by diving in and buying shares of any company.

People buy a share of stock or many shares when it comes to being part of “ownership” of a company. The price of a share fluctuates from minute to minute, hour to hour, and day to day. BetUS is offering a chance to wager on what a fixed price of a share of a company like Amazon, Apple, McDonald’s, or others will be at the close of 25. This is a stock futures play. 

A couple of examples: MasterCard’s over/under is set at 560½. As of March 12, the stock was at 523.42. The over for people who want to play the stock futures game is -125. The under is -115. If people don’t want to get involved in the share game, the over/under is the spot to play and sit back and enjoy the ride. A win gives bettors a chance to thrive with less stress and not have to deal with the New York Stock Exchange companies on a daily basis. It’s the best of all worlds, people are playing the market without actually investing in it.

Another company that is in play at BetUS is NVIDIA. At its current price, the bet on the stock is a tough call. NVIDIA is floating around $115 per share. BetUS is offering -120 if the price per share finishes above or below 115½. So, unlike MasterCard, you are playing a tightrope here. But there is research to be done and money to be won by playing the stock futures market at BetUS.

Stock market today on March 12 saw things start to stabilize – for a day at least.  There has been an accumulation of losses that total more than $4 trillion since the S&P peak last month. That’s a lot of stock market news that isn’t good. However, there is always another day and a chance to rebound and bounce up.

Stocks that are interesting per market research as HEICO, Tradeweb Markets, and TG Therapeutics. They are among those being touted as having an upside. One stock that people are being careful around is TESLA. That comes with the controversial Elon Musk and his role in the Trump administration. It has led to a downward swing in the price and seeing people divest themselves of shares and their cars (in some instances).

Working for a company that is traded can be beneficial to its employees. There are workplaces that allocate company shares to personnel. The higher up one is and the more successful the company is performing an impact on how many shares are divvied out to people. Those fortunate enough to be signed to a contract with stock-sharing as an incentive means they will receive whatever is called for.

A person who is rewarded/awarded stock shares by their place of work can consider this a bonus of sorts. Bettors aren’t paying for the shares but they have the opportunity to gamble in their favorite company. 

In the end, if people are awarded shares for free, they can simply watch its performance. Sort of like playing financial odds at BetUS, except there is no worry about the price at the close of business at the end of 2025 as would be in a stock market futures play.
