What is BroThrow? How does it work? BroThrow is a free peer-to-peer sports betting platform where you compete directly against other bettors instead of against “the house.” Rather than charging fees on every bet you make, BroThrow earns revenue if you choose to subscribe to our PRO features, delivering you the fairest way to bet on sports. We provide the platform; you create, accept, and track bets directly with other ID-verified BroThrow community members. To maximize your cost savings compared to betting through a traditional sportsbook, you settle up directly with your opponents. Why use BroThrow instead of a sportsbook? If you like saving money and having a fair chance at winning, you’ll love BroThrow. Betting through a traditional sportsbook is expensive: sportsbooks charge a 10-20% premium on EVERY BET you make. We believe betting $10 to win $10 is the way it should be, not $11 or $12 to win $10. What markets does BroThrow offer? We offer pre-game spreads, totals, and moneylines across most major sports including football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, golf, UFC, and boxing. For big events like the Super Bowl, we also offer live betting on these markets at halftime. Where is BroThrow available? BroThrow is available to users 21+ across the US, except in the following states: CO, KS.
