Live Sports Betting and the NFL

The Wagering Opportunities are Numerous

For over 20 weeks the NFL offers innumerable live sports betting opportunities. You may wager on each and every play and the possible result of a down and a drive. Here’s a look at some of the wagers that you can make.

Game Display

Each site has some sort of game display that explains the basic game situation. Here’s an example of one such graphic display.

The display tells you which teams are playing and who’s home and who’s away. In this example, the Panthers are away and the Ravens are at home. It also indicates which team has the ball, what yard-line it’s on, the down and how many yards are needed for a first down. You can also see the score, the time remaining and quarter.

In this example, below the game display, you see readouts for your total stake, winnings, potential payout on present bets, cash balance and any bonus balance you may have. There are also a few master tabs where you may select, clear and remove all bets. Finally, there is the button you press to place your bet once you’ve made your selections.

Types of Bets

Below is an illustration of the types of bets you can make on a NFL game.

The above display shows the various props that are be offered on the next play. Each play carries various odds, which are calculated using the present game situation and personnel involved. These odds change with each play and as situations change.

Arrows are used to indicate the likelihood of the prop actually occurring. Note with second and nine and the ball on the offenses 29-yard line, the likelihood of a first down has dropped but it’s still more likely than the team not getting a first down.

Along with choosing the outcome of the next play, you may also bet on the potential outcome of the drive for the club that has the ball.

Make Your Choices

As you can see, there are a range of wagering choices available to you. If you’re new to live sports betting, take some time to investigate various sites in order to fully understand how they work.
