Wager in betting

[Vlack]

I’m relatively new to the sportsbook side of things. I keep seeing people talk about Wager. What exactly is the benefit of doing that over playing a game and just risking that same amount?

I get the confusion but when I wager on something like the over in a Lakers game I feel more in control, you know the eaxct odds upfront and there is no random house edge eating at you slowly like on a slot spin.
