Football betting can be a fun way to spend your time. There are a wide variety of different bets you can make, ranging from traditional bets to more exotic ones. You can also bet on a team to win a specific game or even on a team to win the Super Bowl. The key is to be smart about your bets and not chase losses.
One of the most popular bets you can make is to bet on a team to score the most points. This is known as the over/under. For example, a bettor could bet that the Cowboys will score more than the Steelers.
Another common bet is the moneyline. The Moneyline is a number that reflects the odds of winning a $100 bet. These can be positive or negative. If you have a $100 wager on the Steelers and they win, you’ll receive $100 in payout.
Another popular bet is to bet on a team to get the first kickoff return. This bet will pay you back if the team gets the first kickoff and scores.
Most NFL games are decided by three or seven points. Those three or seven are known as the key numbers.
A classic straight bet on a point spread is always dealt at -110 on both sides. That is because it’s just a 20 cent vigorish on a -110 odds line.
Other traditional bets include total goals, last and first goalscorer, and both teams to score. There are also prop bets to consider.
