Sports betting futures are where you can bet on a team’s chances to win the overall title or conference championship by taking the odds that are offered on the betting board by the sportsbook. These sports futures are offered in football, basketball, baseball, hockey, etc. Let’s look at future bets for betting sports.

Sports futures will list teams at odds of 2-1 all the way up to 100-1 or more. For example, a futures bet might have the Dallas Cowboys at odds of 4-1 to win the Super Bowl. Another way of betting futures is to wager on whether or not a team will go over or under a set win total for the regular season that is also posted on the sports betting board. For example, if you see the Dallas Cowboys over/under win total posted on the sports board as “9” you have the option of betting that Dallas will either go under or over that 9 win total for the regular season.
Sports betting futures are a great way to “have action” for the entire season without actually having to do a lot of work and bet each day or each week. It is particularly popular in baseball sports where a gambler can have daily baseball action, without having to go through the daily grind of reading the pitching matchups, etc as you are betting sports.
Also keep in mind that you can wager on sports futures at almost any time. You can bet them before the season, during the season, and you can oftentimes bet them at readjusted odds during the playoffs. In fact, you can often pick off some excellent sports bargains during the season, as the futures odds will adjust based on the current results. For example, in 2005 the Pittsburgh Steelers were quite a steal as far as a Super Bowl sports futures pick as they were coming off a three game losing streak and looking as if they would fail to make the playoffs. Pittsburgh ended up going on a big winning streak and winning the Super Bowl. You never know what is going to happen when you are sports.
As you look at betting sports this season don’t forget about future bets. They can keep you in action all season long and they can also win you money in your sports .
