Best American Football bets

Here at LeoVegas, we’re all about giving you the most resources possible to ensure you make smart American Football bets. This includes latest scores and results, updated odds and fresh stats. And when it comes to American Football betting there are some key bets that most players gravitate towards. These include:

Handicap betting – You can read more about handicap betting below. This is where you bet on a team to win or lose with a positive or negative handicap on their total score. It’s a great way to level out uneven odds.

First scorer betting – This is a big wager as you can bet on teams who like to go ahead early, even if they’re unlikely to win the overall game.Quarter scores – You can wager on individual quarters, including which team will win the quarter and which will be ahead after a quarter is done. This is great for live American Football betting when you’re wagering on fast events in real-time.

Accumulators – American Football betting is usually easier to predict than other sports, which means favourites are more likely to win. So, many bettors lump the favourites of multiple games into one mega wager, called an accumulator. This boosts your odds but also your risk.

NFL Betting

When it comes to NFL betting there really is no better place to be than the LeoVegas sportsbook. We feature scores of NFL bets on every single game of the season, from the first kick all the way through to the final play of the Super Bowl.

Betting on NFL is particularly exciting if you can live stream NFL or watch on TV alongside the action. This way you can follow Red Zone and place live wagers on multiple games at once, and see those scores change before your eyes.

The great thing about betting on NFL is there is a near-limitless list of resources available to punters. You can easily brush up on teams, players and form guides to help give you the best possible chance of nailing a winning bet.

NFL Betting Tips

Here at LeoVegas we want to make sure our players are as informed as possible. That’s why we always recommend reading up on stats, form guides and rules before you place a bet on an American Football team. Once you’re ready to place a bet it can be tricky to find the right one for you – so here are some NFL betting tips to get you started…

Start low – There’s no point blowing your budget on your first wager. So start low and use your funds to sample various small bets. This way you can figure out which bets you favour the most.

Check the bet slip – Always check your bet slip before hitting Place Bet to ensure you’ve definitely wagered the right amount, on the outcome you want to back.

Look beyond touchdowns – Touchdowns are the big betting draw when it comes to NFL odds but make sure you keep aware of goal kicks that can greatly increase a team’s winning potential, sometimes from nowhere!

The sack race – American Football betting on defensive players is often overlooked but if you can place wagers on sacks, tackles and interceptions then give it some thought. After all, so much focus goes on the offensive plays that we forget there’s money to be made in defence.

NCAAF Betting

The NCAAF is America’s college football league, and it’s one of the most competitive sports leagues on the planet. You players primed for life in the NFL compete for glory and you can bet on college football throughout the school year at LeoVegas.

We offer as many bet options as some NFL games when you wager on college football, and include live odds and stats too – so you can stay on top of all the action. College football betting isn’t quite as popular as NFL bets, and we encourage players to do their research before going for the punt here.

CFL Betting

Indeed, if you need to do research on college football then placing a CFL bet requires just as much. The Canadian Football League is of an impressive high standard and doesn’t get anywhere near the attention the NFL receives. But there are big opportunities to win mega bets here, particularly when wagering on the handicaps.

LeoVegas offers CFL betting odds and varied live markets throughout the season – so be sure to keep an eye out for the latest fixtures in our sportsbook!

NFL Draft Bets

You can bet on NFL draft picks ahead of the big draw every year. LeoVegas offers NFL draft betting options that focus primarily on who will be the first pick. Sometimes it’s oblivious which team will have the first pick, and who they will choose. But other times it’s a complete lottery – and this is where the NFL Draft betting frenzy begins!

If you’re new to NFL betting then looking at the American Football draft odds is quite a good place to begin your research ahead of the next NFL season. So be sure to check back to LeoVegas once the odds are live!

American Football Handicap Bets

Perhaps the biggest American Football bet type is handicap betting. NFL handicaps are where you bet on a team to win or lose, and give them either a positive or negative points handicap. This means you can tweak the odds to suit you and find a favourable bet.

Here’s an example of how American Football handicap bets work. The Rams are heavy favourites to beat the Giants – so much so that it’s worthless betting on a Rams win as the odds are so short. So, you throw a handicap in the mix. You set the bar at Rams -7.5, which means the Rams now need to win by at least 8 points for you to win your bet. In doing this you’ve improved your NFL betting odds and made it a viable wager.

Another handicap is when you back the underdogs. In this instance, you decide to bet on the Giants +11.5. This means so long as the Giants don’t lose by more than 12 points, you win your bet.

American Football handicap betting is great fun and a good way to learn how points can dramatically change games in the sport. They’re also perfect if you like to bank on heavy favourites but want to pull more profit from your bets.
