Sports betting for many gamblers involves only football betting. There is no doubt that football betting at a sportsbook has never been easier or more advantageous. There are now more options and better values at online betting sites for gamblers that get involved in football sports betting.
SPORTSBOOK BETTING LINES
Sports betting at an online sportsbook will give online betting gamblers a wide variety of options. There is the most popular form of wagering, which is pointspread sides, in which the online betting player takes a favorite minus the points or the underdog plus the points. Another sports betting option that is increasing in popularity is the money line in which a sports betting gambler lays or takes odds on a team straight up without a pointspread. Some sports betting gamblers like the money line because all they have to do is pick the straight up winner and not have to worry about the pointspread factor being involved.
Over/sunders, also known as totals, are another highly popular form of sports betting. Betting totals at an online betting sportsbook is when a sports betting gambler wagers on whether or not the combined score in a game between two teams will go over or under the number posted on the sports betting board.
Parlay betting has always been popular at sports betting sportsbooks. This is where a gambler will wager on anywhere from his choice of two, three, four, five, or more, (sometimes even ten), games. The attraction of a parlay is that if all the bets win, the odds pay off very handsomely. The catch on parlays is that if just one game loses, the entire bet does as well. So if you had a five team parlay and won four out of five games, you would still lose the parlay because of that one defeat.
Teaser bets are similar to parlays except that you get a special break on the points ranging anywhere from six to ten points. In other words, in a six point teaser bet, a favorite of six points would be transformed into a pick’em bet. Teasers don’t pay as high of odds as parlays because of that break on the points.
Futures sports betting is when gamblers bet on odds for a team to win the championship or on over/sunders for a team’s total wins in a year. Those are just some of the great football betting options available at online sportsbooks.
