Betting on NFL football is extremely popular around the world and one area of growth is in NFL betting “futures. These are when you are football in advance. It might be odds to win the Super Bowl, division or even the amount of wins a team will get during the season. Betting on NFL football is exciting because it usually keeps you in action most of the year. Just as is the case with pointspread sides and totals, success at betting on NFL football futures comes down to a gambler finding the best possible value and avoiding overlays. The most popular form of NFL betting futures remains the team odds to win the Super Bowl. And this is where most gamblers go wrong as they take the big time favorites, such as the New England Patriots or Dallas Cowboys when football. The NFL betting odds on such teams are low, like around 4/1 and sometimes even less, which makes them virtually worthless as a gambler has his money tied up for six months on a low percentage play. You would be better off having that money available on a weekly basis for side and total action, where you can easily get a far bigger and quicker return when football.
