NFL betting is a complicated game to bet on, because there's so lots of different types of bet you can place! It is easy to get confused, so here's the low down on the four most popular types of NFL bet. And, keep reading to the finish for a tip that could make you millions!
The Point Spread
The most common type of NFL betting, here you fundamentally choose which team you think will win, and by how lots of points. Sports books will offer your various bets at different levels of odds based on the amount you think your team will win by, and at varying levels of risk. When the game is done, you add on or subtract the point spread given by the sportsbook from the actual score, and if your team still won (or lost, depending on which way you are betting), you win the bet.
Moneyline NFL betting eliminates the point spread so you are now basically choosing a winner. Even if the winner only wins by a single point, you still win your bet. Moneyline betting can be more dangerous than point spread betting, as you generally must bet more to win more, since the odds are reduced, but, on the other hand, if you bet sensibly you can produce a stable win-rate with your NFL bets.
Totals
This sounds complicated, but is based on the idea that the public will generally side with the favourite. This is not always the case though, as I am sure you are aware - the favourite doesn't always win! Anyway, if point spread betting sounds a bit complicated, try the next type of NFL bet.
The Moneyline
NFL betting is not always about a winner, as we'll see in this type of bet. Here you are not betting on four NFL team or the other, but in lieu betting on the total performance of both teams, and the total amount of points they'll score together. You can pick whether or not the total score will be over or under a given total, and although your odds will generally be slim, these bets can supplement your income well if you pick the right ones.
Watch out for totals though, they are unpredictable. Some games are absolute scorchers with large amounts of points, while some are complete duds.
Final Super Tip
While each individual bet might be a low-risk bet with a high chance of winning, to correctly predict the outcome of a series of 10 or more events is low-chance indeed, and so comes with large odds. You can bet $1, and pass the winnings through to the next bet each time. If all ten bets win, you are set to make a fortune. These bets can be a fun aside to your regular sports and NFL betting program.
"Accumulators", or "parlays". These are ultra low risk, ultra high payout NFL bets which won't win often, but when they do, you funds in. Fundamentally, you place a series of bets together - that might be a series of wins, losses, or a combination of all the NFL betting types above.
