Betting on FootballBetting on football is more than a pastime for football fans; to some fans, it's an art. Betting on football has become an art for some because of the know-how and research required in order to place a sure wager. Knowing the ins and outs of wagering is necessary in order to make the process of betting on football a profitable endeavor. Below are several tips that every football fan can benefit from when they are wagering on their favorite team.Expert NFL football handicapper Mike "The Picker" Jones predicts the New Orleans Saints will win Super Bowl XLIV! At the start of the 2009-2010 NFL betting season the Saints posted +2500 odds to win the Big Game! Now heading into the 2010 Superbowl, the Saints are no longer undefeated but are one of the final two teams left. Bet on the Saints to win Super Bowl XLIV with a +5 (-105) Point Spread and +180 Money Line (a $100 wager pays out $180) or take the Colts -190 Money Line (a $190 wager pays out $100) First, when working with game predictions it's important to consider the source. For example, if a football fan retrieves lines from an Internet sportsbook they need to realize that the lines may be "fluffed up" a little or inflated. It's important for a bettor to remember that the lines accessed from an Internet sportsbook may not accurately mirror the playing power of a particular team and that the forecasts may be based on the general consensus of the public. Before relying on the lines provided by an Internet sportsbook, compare them with other picks. You may be surprised to find that there are some extraordinary contradictions between the lines offered at one betting site and the lines offered by another Internet sportsbook. That said; after comparing lines, do a little statistical research to see which lines seem more plausible before basing a wager on the information any lines provide.

Second, when betting on football, a bettor will need to learn how to spot NFL trends if they are interested in wagering on the playoffs or in big events like the Superbowl. One specific trend is known as the home team advantage, where the team playing on their own turf tends to win more often than not. Understanding the home team advantage will help a wagerer refine their betting strategy: NFL teams that play on their own field have the support of their fans-a strong influence on the team's overall playing ability.
