Football Betting LineWhy is there a great deal of fuss over a football betting line? The origins of said "fuss" originate with the psychological, motivating factors of placing a bet. (Yes, one can use big words when describing the art and business of gambling.) The bottom line of gambling psychology is that people do it to feel good and they draw that feeling from the excitement of waiting to see the final outcome of the game and if they indeed picked the winning team. People love to take risks. Well, some people like to take risks. Others are notoriously conservative in their lives and as a result of being this way, have a tendency to be extremely boring people.In a way, the drama and excitement of spinning one's wheels over a football betting line has little to do with making money. Ok, for some people that statement is tantamount to committing a heresy. Had gambling been punishable in the 16th century by hanging, they would execute you for making that statement. (What did they do for fun in the 16th century?) Fun and excitement notwithstanding, there is still money on the line and one needs to make clear business decisions when mulling over a football betting line.

A football betting line essentially tacks on a fee for betting on the favorite team. That is, if one wins, one wins less than one he or she would win betting on the underdog. This is somewhat reasonable; the favorite does have the deck stacked in its favor. On the flip side, the underdog may pay more, but the odds of winning are reduced as the underdog is facing a tougher opponent and is expected to lose. Hence, there is the application of the name "underdog". (So now you know where the cartoon superhero derived his name.) The question becomes "is betting on the underdog feasible and how does it correlate to the derivation of excitement that gambling revolves around?" Bet Super Bowl XLIV and check out the Super Bowl Betting Odds! When examining a football betting line, the decision to pick the underdog vs. the favorite has a significant advantage in terms of the excitement factor that it delivers as the uphill struggle against a tougher foe simply resonates with people to a significant degree. This is why most films and novels are built around the theme. As for the financial risk vs. reward of picking the underdog on a football betting line, that adds to the excitement, but puts the actual dollars at risk and, quite honestly, if one is overly concerned with losing money, gambling is an activity that is best avoided.
