Until recently, placing a bet on a sporting event was a hassle. You would have to provide your personal information, and you were limited in the data you could use to make predictions. Additionally, your odds of winning were low.
However, the way NFL betting is done has changed a lot in recent years.
1. Moneyline bets
When placing your bet on a football game, moneyline bets are a safer bet. They have a smaller spread, so you will receive a larger payout when the favorite wins. The downside to NFL moneyline bets is that you will have to do a little extra math.
First, you will need to calculate the implied probability of the moneyline. You can get this from the implied probability of the game in the market. For example, if you bet on the SF 49ers, the moneyline odds are greater than if you bet on the Lions.
2. Point spreads
Point spreads are often used to determine the actual odds of a game. They are often calculated using the odds of the game on the previous Sunday’s game. This is an significant factor to consider when betting on a game because heavy betting action can shift the odds and make a less appealing side more appealing. Oddsmakers can also make changes to the spread until kickoff, depending on news and weather concerns.
The point spread is the most prevalent way to wager on NFL games. They are usually released a few days before a game and change throughout the week and up to kickoff. This means that you must decide when to bet, whether early in the week or on game day.
3. Betting on Whole Seasons
You can now bet on whole seasons, such as engaging in the NFL over under wins market. You are essentially betting on how many games a team will win over the course of a season. This can be a great way to get in on the action without having to worry about individual game lines.
4. Lock games
Over the last few years, the NFL has expanded its sports betting options. In the past, only a handful of teams had betting options. Now, the NFL has more than 50 betting options. In addition to NFL betting, many professional teams also have their own betting lounges. Legal sports betting has been expanding across the U.S., and by 2021, it’s expected that more than 45.2 million Americans will place bets on NFL games. That’s an increase of 36% over last year. This season, around $12 billion will be wagered. This growth is attributed to the fact that more states have legalized sports betting.
5. In-game betting
In-game betting is a newer way to bet on football games. You can place bets on what will happen next in the game. For example, you can bet on whether the next play will be a run or a pass, or if the next score will be a touchdown or a field goal.
In-game betting is available through legal online sportsbooks and app. This type of betting is growing in popularity, as it’s seen as a way to make football games more exciting.
What’s the future of NFL betting?
As more states legalize sports betting, the NFL is expected to see a significant increase in revenue from bets. In fact, it’s estimated that by 2023, the NFL will generate $2.3 billion in revenue from legal sports betting. This is up from an estimated $1.4 billion this year.
The future of NFL betting looks bright. More people are expected to bet on games, and there will be more ways to bet.
