Bet on football underdogs if you want a better chance of making money.Sportsbooks make their money when favorites do poorly, and that is very true when it comes to NFL odds. Nearly every sportsbook will say that if the underdog wins, they make money from gamblers that bet on NFL action.
Wager on football gamblers don’t like to bet underdogs. Favorites on the other hand are no problem. We all can find teams we like to win the game, but it is that little thing called the pointspread as part of the betting odds that makes it that much tougher. Finding underdogs we think have a chance against the betting odds is another story when we wager on football. Sportsbooks are well aware of our tendency to bet the favorite and they make us pay a premium price to do so.
