NFL Betting Guide

Many online sports betting sites offer tons of different ways to bet on NFL football. They usually posts lines early so fans and avid NFL gamblers can wager before the public gets wind and moves the lines. This page is going to explain a few of the most popular ways employed when betting on NFL games.

They have what you call a Straight Bet or Moneyline. This involves picking a winner of a two team match up. Most of the time though, if you pick the favorite to win you will get paid less by the sportsbook. This is because NFL betting odds support the favorite team to win.

Spread bets are made by picking a favorite to win by a certain number or picking the underdog which can win or not lose by more than the appointed amount. So a team A is -7 to win, which would mean team B has a +7 leeway. Betting on the NFL spread involves having a keen eye for how much a team will win by.

Total point bets involve the player to pick an over or under for the set total amount. The total is the two teams combined score at the end of regulation. Betting on the NFL point totals can be rewarding if chosen carefully. Look for match ups that feature both great defenses or high powered offenses.

Football Parlay Bets involves picking one of the three betting styles above and making 2-12 consecutive bets. Upsets happen just about every week in football, so keep in mind when Parlay betting on NFL that you will probably have an upset. All of the bets have to hit in order for you to win the Parlay.

Prop and Future Bets on Football simply are predicting how well a team or player will do in a game or season. When betting on NFL props, you have to take a look at the defense a certain team or player is facing. Depending on how good they are will help you make better decisions when picking lines.

Many other sportsbooks offers Quarter lines and Half lines when betting on NFL football games. Quarter lines involve making the same bets as described above except you do it for one quarter of the game instead of the whole game. This can be the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th quarter bets depending on what lines you pick. Half lines involve players making bets for the halves. Bettors can lay down money either on the first half or second half. Remember that betting on NFL halves will have lower total numbers because only a quarter or half of the game is being played. Live NFL Betting is also a new feature that many sportbooks are starting to have.

The sportsbook will open up a new browser where it refreshes after every play. Live NFL betting involves picking exactly what the next play will be. You have the option to pick Complete Pass, Incomplete Pass, and Run. If your play hits, you win the bet. If the play is ruled dead (Penalty, Timeout, etc.) there is no action. You also have the options to pick how many yards will be on the drive as well as picking a touchdown to happen. These are very similar to prop bets except you are doing it every drive.
