How many times have you had the “right” side in NFL betting lines? And even though lost a “bad beat”, either because your team had to eke out a last second field goal or by letting the losing side in through the “back door” with a late meaningless touchdown against?
There is an alternative to laying points in football betting, or for that matter taking points, and that is the MONEY LINE. The money line is an excellent alternative for pro football betting players who simply look at NFL betting lines to bet on who they think is going to win a game straight up, rather than hassle with the pointspread. Instead of taking a three-and-a-half point favorite, a pro football bettor would instead look at NFL betting lines and lay out approximately one-dollar and sixty cents or so to win one dollar on the money line. Conversely, if the gambler wanted to take the underdog from the NFL lines and strongly believed that the dog would bite hard with a straight up win he could lay out a one dollar bet to win one-dollar-and-forty or fifty cents, depending on where he bets and what line he receives.
