Super Bowl Wagering

The 2012 Super Bowl will be held in Indianapolis.

There is no single-day event that attracts more wagering interest and more football betting volume than the Super Bowl.

The reasons for the Super Bowl dominating the sportsbook landscape are many-fold. The NFL is king for sports bettors and the game culminates a long, hype-filled season.

There are two weeks of preamble that gets everyone excited about every aspect of the game. And of course, online sportsbooks produce thousands of fun Super Bowl wagering props like ‘who will win the coin toss’ or ‘how many times will the announcer say the word ‘underdog’ during the telecast.

The first Sunday of February is much more than The Big Game for fans. It’s the biggest of big games for those who enjoy sports wagering.

Point Spread and Total Wagering

While many flock to Las Vegas for the weekend, the days of needing to be in Nevada to place a bet are long gone and fans can bet the point spread, moneyline, total and their pick of props right from the comfort of your own home via an online sportsbook.

Many shops featuring here on Wagering.ca offer plenty of generous Super Bowl bonuses to add to your bankroll. It’s a nice perk at the end of the football season and a much-appreciated one with so many wagering options available. Last year’s Super Bowl between Green Bay and Pittsburgh went over the total but 5 of the previous six had gone under.

As for the point spread, the AFC dominated the action for many years but the NFC has turned the tables recently. In the past eight Big Games, the NFC rep is 6-2 ATS.

Super Bowl Prop Bets

Starting with the coin toss (he NFC has won 15 in a row by the way!) and ending with odds on who will win next year’s Super Bowl, prop odds dominate the betting menu on Super Bowl Sunday. Yes, it’s about winning and covering the point spreads but it’s about much, much more. Las Vegas sportsbooks and internet betting sites offer literally thousands of betting options, ranging from QB vs QB stats to how many receptions the Tight End will get to how long will the longest field goal be.

Each year, some shops such as name and name produce interesting Super Bowl proposition bets like how many times the start running back’s celebrity girlfriend will be shown during the telecast (this was big several years ago when Saints RB Reggie Bush was dating Kim Kardashian). If you know your fantasy stats and can find some edges, it’s a great day to turn a huge profit.

Super Bowl Bonuses

One of the great things about all the focus on a single game is that sportsbooks such as name focus their marketing efforts directly on you for several weeks. You can expect some of the biggest and most creative one-day bonuses, with opportunities to double your deposit or receive a free Super Bowl bet when you sign up.

Super Bowl Squares

If you can’t make it out to your local watering hole you can buy Super Bowl squares at many online sportsbooks.
