Super Bowl betting propositions (props) started back in the early 1990’s and have continued to gain popularity every year. It used to be that the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas came out with hundreds of Super Bowl propositions and other sportsbooks followed suit. Today Super Bowl propositions are hugely popular and generate a great amount of interest.
Super Bowl props get more creative and more numerous every year. Some gamblers actually put more money on the props than they do on the side or the total. As you look at Super Bowl betting propositions there are a few things to keep in mind. First, there are many Super Bowl props out there that it makes it important to do a little research. You should really look closely at the last few games instead of the entire season when it comes to the statistics. Recent play is always more important to consider when researching Superbowl betting props. Many people will only look at season averages when researching Super Bowl props but that is not the best way to handicap. Look more at recent games for your wagering.
Second, try not to lay too much money on the favorites in Super Bowl props. Anything can happen in one game and you don’t want to be risking a huge amount of money. Conversely, you might want to take a shot on a huge underdog and try for a big payoff on a Super Bowl betting prop. It is the last game of the season and a big payoff would be nice. You might want to look at the first player to score a touchdown as your longshot Super Bowl betting prop. Take double-digit odds on a player you think could score first. You might also want to find a Superbowl prop on the exact score of the game or a range of scores. Usually you can get good Superbowl betting odds on those types of prop bets.
Finally, keep yourself in control when wagering on Super Bowl props. There are hundreds of them on the board but that doesn’t mean you have to bet each one. Pick a few that you really like and maybe a couple that could pay off big. Remember, Superbowl betting props should be used to enhance your enjoyment of the game.
