Football

Football betting in Ontario, Canada (including NFL, NCAA, UFL, and CFL) defaults to American Odds, with +100 odds at 1:1. The +100 odds have a ratio of 1:1 and for every $100 wagered at these odds, you will win $100 back along with your original bet. As the odds increase (the larger the number after the + sign), so does your potential winnings. Negative odds are denoted by a negative number (-) and usually represent the more popular team, which pays out less if you win. For example, you would have to bet $150 to win $100 on a bet with -150 odds.
Over/Under

In football, totals are based on the total number of points scored in a single game, and you have to decide whether the total is higher or lower than the number set by the bookies.The total for an NFL game is usually between 40 and 50 points. For example, if the total score between the Giants and Panthers is set at 43.5, if the total score between the two teams is below 44 points, it is below the win, and if it is above the win, it is above the win. If the total is a whole number (e.g., 50) and exactly 50 points are scored in the game, the bettor will receive a refund, as there is no winner or loser in this case.

This type of bet involves predicting whether a team’s point total will go over or umder a certain threshold set by the bookmaker.

Zero score by a team will count as Even for settlement purposes.

 
 

 

 

This type of bet predicts which team will reach a certain number of points first.

These bets split the game into sections, usually quarters or halves. You can bet on which team scored more points in a particular quarter, or what the total number of points scored in the half was.

For NFL regular season team handicaps (including regular season wins), teams must complete all 17 regular season games, and for the CFL all 18 regular season games, unless the remaining games during the season do not affect the outcome for the bet to be valid.

Winning or losing your bet by half a point. Most football games end with a final margin of three or seven points. If you wager on an underdog at +5.5 and they lose by 5 points, you win “by the hook.” In contrast, if you bet on a favorite at -7.5 and they only win by 7 points, you lose “by the hook.”

These bets involve predicting player touchdown scores and game outcomes. They are popular due to their high potential odds. For example, Jets vs Colts, Jets player XX scores a touchdown and his team wins the game.

These bets involve predicting whether a particular player will score a touchdown at any point during the game.

Predict which team will call the first timeout. Timeouts lost by any other causes, such as Coaches Challenges, Injuries, etc., are not included.

Forecast whether either team will score three straight times throughout the game. A score excludes all PATs (Point After Touchdown or 2 point conversions).

This market is based on the first offensive play from scrimmage (excluding penalties). If the kickoff is returned for a touchdown, betting on the next kickoff will be valid. Incomplete or intercepted throws, as well as quarterback sacks or fumbles, will be counted as pass plays. A fumble on exchange to the RB counts as a run play.

Settlement is based on both teams’ net yards (including sack yardage lost).

Settlement is based on the most Total Rushing yards gained (includes negative yardage).

Bets are considered action if a player participates in at least one offensive, defense, or special teams play. The exception is that Player Kicking Points/Longest Punt are considered if the player is active/dressed (according to the NFL Game Book).

This can be a run, pass (including whether or not a score was made as a result), or an automatic 1st down penalty. Safeties and field goals will be considered “No” (whether or not a field goal is scored). Replay downs due to non-automatic penalties (e.g., Offside, Encroachment, Delay of Game, Illegal Substitution, Excess Timeout, Facemask, Neutral Zone Infraction, Running into the Kicker or More than 11 players on the field at the snap) will not be counted unless it is 5 yards or less from the end of the game.

Keeping an Eye on the Odds

Bookmaker odds are constantly being adjusted. It’s important to determine the best time to place your bets based on how the odds have changed. If you have a favorite team you should place your bets early rather than waiting for the odds to drop more and more. A team may have been favorite by +3 points yesterday, and have been underdog by -3.5 points today.

The most important external factor in NFL football betting is the weather and how it affects your wager. Rain and snow can have a big impact on a team’s performance, but wind is the most disruptive factor in the game and can affect passing and kicking.

Home field advantage is usually considered to be three points higher than NFL points allowed, with one study calculating home field advantage at 1.4 points.

Injuries can have a considerable impact on odds and results. For odds, quarterback injuries have the biggest impact, while skill players such as star running backs and receivers can also make or break point spreads. Outside of these key positions, injuries to individual players don’t have much of an impact on the odds.

Since the NFL schedule is weekly, injury news can come days or even hours before kickoff. There is usually a lot of injury news on game day, so it would be beneficial to do research on the players or teams involved in your bets.
