2009 Understanding Super Bowl Odds

The sportsbooks like it when gamblers bet both sides of a Super Bowl betting matchup. Obviously it is rare when a game is perfectly balanced but that is the goal when it comes to Super Bowl odds.

Super Bowl odds are tilted toward the favorite and the over so if you like the favorite bet that team early and if you like the underdog bet them late. The same thing applies to the total. Bet the over early and the under late in Super Bowl odds. The public bets the favorite and the over so that is the way the line will normally move. Note that we said normally. In last year’s Super Bowl the public bet the underdog New York Giants and it was New York that won and covered the pointspread.

Super Bowl odds are not made quite the same as regular season odds. The reality is that Super Bowl odds are so important to sportsbooks that they can make or break a season. Sportsbooks want to survive and make money from Super Bowl odds. Bettors are trying for one big score to end the football season, and a bet on the Super Bowl odds is just the way for them to do it.

Keep in mind that almost every single wager in Super Bowl odds is coming from the public bettor. There are some professional gamblers that will make wagers on the game, but not that many. It is just another game for them. It should also be just another game for other gamblers. It just one game and many of the stats and trends just don’t mean anything. Gamblers will look at stats from the regular season but oftentimes they are not good predictors of who will cover the Super Bowl odds.

If you are going to bet Super Bowl odds you might also want to consider props. These are the Super Bowl betting odds on team and individual player options. These props give gamblers additional ways to bet Super Bowl betting odds and stay in action throughout the game.
