How to Bet the Super Bowl
Written by Greg Riot, Friday February 05 2010
Betting on the Super Bowl is as much a part of the NFL Classic as the parties that accompany it. Super Bowl odds are broken down into a number of categories. They are spreads, Moneyline, over/under totals, halves, and props among others. There is no shortage of things to bet on, so study the super bowl odds and decide which team is most likely to pay you off.
The Moneyline super bowl odds simply means that you will need to choose the winner. This year’s Moneyline is New Orleans +165 and Indianapolis -200. This means that if you bet $100 on the Saints, you would win $165 and if you think the Colts will win, you will have to wager $200 to win $100.
Currently the point spread is 4 ½. If you think that the Indianapolis Colts will win by six points or more and beat the super bowl odds, take a shot on this bet. A 27-23 final score would result in the gamblers that bet the New Orleans Saints +4 ½ winning.
The over/under total for this year’s super bowl odds currently sits at 56 ½. To beat the super bowl odds on the over/under total, choose what you think the final score will be. If you bet the over and the score exceeded 56.5, you win. If you believe that the final score will not reach 56.5, bet the under and hope for the best.
Other super bowl odds that are set for betting purposes are halves, which is essentially betting on a half a game rather than on the whole game. The same concepts apply - there are over/unders and total points odds for these wagers.
Props are a unique and fun way to participate in every aspect of the Big Game. Super bowl odds are set for the coin toss, the first team to score and the first turnovers to name just a few.
