Lock

Lock in betting refers to a bet that is considered almost certain to win, often used by bettors to describe a "sure thing." However, in reality, no bet is ever guaranteed, as unexpected outcomes can always occur.

Bookmakers adjust odds to reflect probabilities, so while a lock might have very low odds (like a heavy favorite at 1.10), there is still some level of risk involved. Experienced bettors avoid relying on "locks" and instead focus on value betting for long-term profitability.
