Odds Shopping<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
Comparing betting lines for the same NFL bet (matchup, spread, or player prop) at various sportsbooks is known as odds shopping. For NFL bettors, this is critical since even little changes in the odds have a big influence on your possible profit.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
Types of NFL Betting<\/h2>\n \n\n
\n In this section, we provide an in-depth explanation regarding the different types of NFL bets and how they work. Real-life scenarios will also be included, so the next time you\u2019re betting online or at a retail sportsbook, you\u2019ll be prepared and understand certain lingo.<\/p>\n\n
\n Moneyline\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n A moneyline bet is when a handicapper bets on a matchup between two teams and picks one to win outright.<\/p>\n\n
\n Spread Betting\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n Betting on the spread in the NFL is equivalent to handing a team a scoring advantage. The sportsbook establishes a point spread, and you wager on whether the favored team will win by more than a certain number of points, or if the underdog will lose by less than the spread or win. <\/p>\n\n
\n We\u2019ll use the following example: The Jets are 4-point underdogs (+4) against the Texans (four-point favorites, -4). If you bet on the Jets to cover the spread and they lose by three or less (including if they win), you\u2019ll successfully cash your ticket. If they lose by four, the bet is a push (money returned), but if they lose by five or more, the wager is graded as a loss. <\/p>\n\n
\n Over\/Under (Total)\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n In the NFL, over\/under betting is based on the overall score between both teams rather than who wins. The bookmaker assigns a total, and you estimate whether the cumulative score will be greater or less than that amount. If the final score is the exact same as the total, the wager is considered a push.<\/p>\n\n
\n Prop Betting\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n Prop bets (proposition bets) are wagers on certain outcomes throughout a match. These can range from a player's performance (receiving yards, receptions, or touchdowns) to unusual considerations, such as coin toss results or which side scores first. Many people who are familiar with player stats enjoy these wagers.<\/p>\n\n
