American Football “Props”


      While we are talking “Props” and “Futures” I was looking at my Sports Books “Futures” on American football.And I was shocked to see that my favorite team was not the favorite to win the Superbowl next year.

      The teams with the best odds to win are Green Bay Packers at +400 and New England Patriots +415 and the 4 teams with the worst odds are Minnesota Vikings, Jacksonville Jaguars, Indianapolis Colts, and Cleveland Browns all at +9000.

      So as we have said before all bets are based on a $100 bet, but of course you can bet as much or as little as you like, on each bet. So if you think that the Colts could win the Superbowl, you could bet just $100 to win $9,000.

      Remember though there is a good reason why the Books are willing to give you odds that big. The bigger the Risk the bigger the Reward. The books have done their research, have you done yours? If you have taken sometime to research and think that the Colts can win, great. But if you want to bet on the Colts just because they are you favorite team, and you have not done your research, that’s is bad. As with all bets you need to bet with your head not just your heart. When you are making any bet take the time to think it through completely.

      So check out your Sports Books “Prop” section and see what “Props” and “Futures” that your book offers.
