Tips for Betting Super Bowl Props in 2024

Tips for betting Super Bowl props George Kittle San Francisco 49ers

The Super Bowl is the biggest betting event of the year, with an estimated $16 billion dollars wagered by 50.4 million adults in the United States alone. That $16 billion dollar figure is more than double last year’s total and has absolutely shattered every betting record in the United States. Considering the trajectory of sports betting, and the additional storylines surrounding this year’s big game, that number will likely be eclipsed once again in 2024.

It can be a difficult task to try and figure out how to attack the enormous Super Bowl betting slate. There are countless props on any football game, including Over/Unders for almost anyone on the field, touchdown props, field goal props, and even exact correct score odds on offer. However, this game is like no other. In addition to those ‘standard’ props, there are even more novelty props available, including coin toss result, Gatorade color poured on the winning coach, and even whether or not Travis Kelce will propose to Taylor Swift after the game. Luckily for you, there are numerous strategies that can ensure you have the best odds of going profitable during an action-packed afternoon of football, family, friends, and fun.

Manage Unit Sizing

This is the best tip you can follow in the article. While the Super Bowl can be overwhelming with the addition of mobile betting, now is not the time to increase your unit sizes. There is absolutely no point in blowing through a well-managed bankroll on the last game of the season, regardless of how confident you may be that ‘It’s Purple Gatorade's year.’ There is nothing wrong with having a little fun with some extravagant props. However, if going profitable remains your focus, rather than having fun, betting several units on a flip of a coin is not the way to go. It’s been a season full of opportunities to bet on NFL action. And while the Super Bowl is always a bittersweet ending for NFL bettors around the world, stick to what has gotten you this far.

When in doubt, bet on an Under 

The additional money piling in on the big game has seen sportsbooks get creative in their attempts to extract even more cash from your pocket. One surefire way is to simply juice the Overs at a higher rate than Unders. Everyone wants to cheer for Travis Kelce hauling in 100+ yards or Christian McCaffrey going for 3+ touchdowns, and the sportsbooks have priced these props accordingly. While a couple of the superstars could have better than usual games, in the biggest game of the year, not everyone can explode for career defining performances, even though the props may be priced like it. Whether it’s on the field during the game, or it’s a novelty prop, everyone wants to root for things to happen and points to be scored. When in doubt, the Under, or a ‘No’ on any novelty prop is usually the way to go.

Place your wagers pre-game

The odds will not be shifting hours before kickoff after being on the market for nearly 2 weeks, and one of the best ways to walk away with a profit on Sunday afternoon is to place your bets Saturday night. There are many reasons to place your bets before the commotion of your Super Bowl festivities get underway. First, by doing so, you can stick to what has kept your bankroll intact throughout the year, rather than punting it away on random props. A clear mind the night before followed by discipline to not place any live bets can certainly help you stay in the green by the time the game wraps up. The excitement of the Super Bowl, combined with possible inebriation, is a surefire way to wake up with a depleted betting account. Second, you can ignore the people around you. If you’re reading a Super Bowl betting article, you are already more knowledgeable than a majority of the people you may or may not be watching with. By getting the bets in the night before, you will be far less easily swayed to go on a squad-ride that George Kittle goes for 150 yards. Betting a few dollars on some fun props is not the end of the world, but a majority of your betting bankroll must be placed on smarter propositions.
