Posted on 25. Jan, 2012 in Betting Tips
Sports betting enthusiasts tired of watching their favorite teams get thumped night after night in the NBA, NHL and MLB, should look no further than the NFL playoffs to turn a profit. Each year, the NFL welcomes in a whole crop of new fans, as the playoffs provide an alternative option to the regular season. Essentially, in the regular season it doesn’t matter if your team wins or loses as you can bounce back the next week and turn a profit. Conversely, in the bookie software playoffs, betting pools such as suicide leagues, come into full affect, as it is lose and go home or stay and move on to a bigger profit.
The playoffs in the NFL differ greatly from the other three major North American sports, for the simple reason, that the playoffs are single elimination. What takes roughly two months to determine a champion in basketball, baseball in hockey, only takes a month in football. What’s more, placing your bets at the start of the playoffs can net you a bigger return, then if you jump on the bandwagon at the start of the Super Bowl. In other words, the odds alter from 12 to one for a long shot, to two to one. Meaning to say, if you are a New York Giants fan, and you took the Giants at the start of the playoffs, you can be paid higher, then if you took them this week, where they a two to one underdog to win the Super Bowl.
Betting on the NFL playoffs also provides the bettor with excellent value. In essence, because there is an increase in the volume of traffic from sportsbook to sportsbook, some shops may offer lower value then others. For this reason, you could take the Giants at 30 to one to win the Super Bowl, instead of 10 to one. Meaning, that if the Giants win the Super Bowl, a $100 wager turns into $30000 instead of $1000.
