What is a two-way market in betting?

A two-way market offers only two outcomes — typically a moneyline with no draw option, common in American sports. Soccer uses three-way markets (Team A wins, Team B wins, or draw). American football, basketball, and baseball are two-way markets because ties are either impossible or decided in overtime. Two-way markets carry a lower implied vig than three-way markets.
