Square (Bettor)
A casual or recreational bettor who is not well researched and often bets with their gut or on popular teams/fighters. “Squares” tend to follow public sentiment and conventional wisdom. Sportsbooks’ profits often come from square money.
A **square** bettor might always pick the favorite or the fighter with the better record without analyzing value. For example, a square might parlay five heavy favorites on a fight card because “all those guys should win,” whereas sharps might look for an underdog. The term “square” is basically the opposite of “sharp”.
