Overview of American Football Betting

American football betting, commonly known as the National Football League (NFL), is a popular and engaging way for fans and bettors to enhance their enjoyment of the game. Betting on American football should be a walk in the park.

The NFL regular season runs from early September to February, with its climax being the Super Bowl. The competitive series attracts significant betting activity.

NFL Betting Odds and Bet Types

One significant factor in determining successful NFL betting is shopping around for the best American football betting odds. Betting odds are crucial for determining a bet's potential payout.

Here are the different formats you will find in a sportsbook:

American odds or moneylines are denoted by a negative (-) sign to signify the favorites or a plus (+) for the underdogs. The value attached will determine how much you should wager or win (usually based on 110). An example is a -200 bet, which means you need to stake $200 to win $100, whereas +120 implies a $100 bet will earn you $120.
Fractional odds are expressed as a ratio-like symbol. In a 1/2 or 3/1, you will wager $2 that will pay $1, while the 3/1 pays $3 profit for a $1 bet. The higher the value, the less likely the outcome will happen.
Decimal odds represent the amount you win per bet – multiply the wager with the selected odds.

Once you understand NFL odds, it is time to pick a bet type. Here's how betting markets work in American football:

Point spreads level the playing field by giving the underdog a head start. For example, if the Cowboys are -8 point favorites over the Giants, they must win by more than 8 points for a bet on them to pay off. If the Cowboys win by eight points, the bet will be a push, and you will be refunded your stake.
Moneyline betting requires you to pick the winner of the game with no point spread. The odds indicate how much you need to wager to win a certain amount. For instance, if the Packers are -250 favorites, your bet size will be $250 to win $100. However, if the Bears are +180 underdogs, a $100 bet would yield a $150 payout.
Over/Under betting is wagering on the total points scored by both teams. The GGBet sportsbook sets a line, like 45.5 points, for you to decide if the game will go over or under that total. You base your wager on whether the combined score will be over or under a set number.
Proposition bets revolve around specific outcomes within a game, such as which player will score the first touchdown or the total yards a quarterback will throw.
