by T.O. Whenham - 2/3/2011

The Super Bowl is a strange phenomenon in sports betting -- it’s the one game that everyone waits all year to bet, but for a whole lot of reasons it is generally far from the best game of the year from a betting perspective. If you are serious about making money on this game, then, you have to make sure that you are avoiding costly mistakes that can put a big dent in your bankroll. Here is some Super Bowl betting advice and strategy to avoid five of the biggest mistakes most bettors make:

Odds to Win Super Bowl XLV: Balanced Betting the Story So Far
by Richard Gardner | Bodog Sportsbook Manager - 2/3/2011

Super Bowl XLV is looking like a winner for Bodog, and the two teams haven’t even kicked off yet. The big game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers on Sunday at Cowboys Stadium has drawn such balanced action so far that we don’t expect to be exposed on either side come game time, which should make for a much more relaxing watching experience for our odds makers.

Super Bowl Free Betting Picks
by Aaron Smith - 2/2/2011

The single biggest sporting event of the year is finally here. Super Bowl 45 will take place this Sunday night, and it is expected to be a terrific matchup. An interesting fact is that the Super Bowl point spread currently sits at 2.5 points, which makes it the first time the line has been set at less than three points since 1982!

Super Bowl Odds: Betting on the MVP
by Alan Matthews - 2/2/2011

Other than betting the Super Bowl coin toss, there is no prop more popular for the Super Bowl than betting on the game’s MVP. And as expected, both starting quarterbacks are the big favorites to win the Super Bowl XLV MVP award when Pittsburgh and Green Bay face off Sunday outside Dallas. A quarterback has won the award 23 times. No other position is within a mile of that total.

Super Bowl Betting Advice and Tips: Quarter Lines Betting
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 2/2/2011

In the Super Bowl, one quarter is bigger, more scrutinized, and heck, almost as long as some regular season games. So why not wager on it? There are quarter lines for all NFL games, but when Super Bowl Sunday rolls around these Super Bowl quarter lines get plenty of attention. What happens in each individual quarter is a big deal during the big game, and not just because of Super Bowl Squares pools that pay out after each quarter.

Super Bowl Predictions and Odds for Alternate Lines
by Darin Zank - 2/2/2011

Alternate NFL football lines, also known as alternative lines, can be a lot of fun to bet on, and they give bettors multiple options on games with what they might consider weak lines. And the upcoming Super Bowl takes things to a different level, with almost every sportsbook around offering lines with odds other than the basic pointspread.

Super Bowl Handicapping Trends for Betting: Two-Week Layoff
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 2/2/2011

Take away all the Super Bowl hoopla, the 105,000 capacity stadium, the thousand dollar seats, the million dollar commercials, the onslaught of fans, media and attention, and perhaps the biggest difference in the Super Bowl for players on both sides is the two-week layoff between conference championship Sunday and Super Bowl Sunday.

Keys to a Great Super Bowl Party
by Robert Ferringo - 2/2/2011

I don’t care about the food. I don’t care about the size of the television. I don’t care about the booze offered. If you want to have a kick-ass Super Bowl party you need to have one thing: a lot of gambling. The general public still, to a certain extent, frowns upon the idea of legalized gambling and views people like myself as degenerates operating on the fringe of the law. But on Super Bowl Sunday its as if every red-blooded, hypocritical American has the green light to get some action down.

We’ll look at some of the odd and crazy ones later on, but for now let’s focus on the props that stand out as interesting -- ones that could even offer a bit of value.

Super Bowl Props: Predictions for Betting on the Quarterbacks
by Darin Zank - 2/1/2011

Super Bowl 45 offers up a great quarterback matchup, as a two-time champion in Ben Roethlisberger goes against a guy crowned by many in the football media as the next greatest thing, Aaron Rodgers. And among the Super Bowl prop bets -- almost too many to name -- is a whole series related to the performances of the starting quarterbacks. Bettors can take a shot at picking how many passes each QB will complete, how many touchdown passes they'll throw, how many yards they'll throw for, whether they'll get picked off, which QB will throw for the most yards, and a slew of other things.

Green Bay Packers Chances to Win the Super Bowl
by T.O. Whenham - 2/1/2011

What are the Green Bay Packers Chances to Win the Super Bowl? Well, according to the oddsmakers and the betting public they are pretty good -- despite being a No. 6 seed heading into the playoffs they were installed as favorites, and the Super Bowl odds have been bet up as many as three points in some places since then.

Super Bowl Coaches – Mike Tomlin vs. Mike McCarthy

Everything about the Super Bowl is an intense competition between two sides that want a win more than anything else in the world. The coaches are integral to the success of their teams, so let’s take a look at how the two coaches match up in the Super Bowl this year:

Betting the Super Bowl Total
by Robert Ferringo - 1/28/2011

Prior to last year’s Super Bowl I questioned whether or not defense was allowed in the NFL playoffs anymore. After an unprecedented ‘over’ run throughout the 2010 playoffs, I was convinced that no one among the elite teams is capable of stopping anyone else on the elite teams when it mattered most.

Super Bowl Props Predictions: First Touchdown Betting
by Darin Zank - 1/28/2011

This is a Super Bowl prop bet that NFL handicappers might want to do a little shopping on. Generally the boards are going to look similar, with running backs and wide receivers topping the betting, but there will be variations, and possibly something to take advantage of. For example, Pittsburgh WR Hines Ward is listed at +800 to score the first Super Bowl TD at BetUS, but he's getting +1,000 at Bookmaker and 12/1 at Bodog.

Pittsburgh Steelers Chances to Win the Super Bowl
by T.O. Whenham - 1/28/2011

What are the Pittsburgh Steelers Chances to Win the Super Bowl? Well, despite the fact that they are the underdogs and that the Super Bowl odds moved quickly against them as soon as they were posted, I think their chances are actually pretty good. I plan to bet on them. Here are five reasons why I like their chances:

How to Place a Super Bowl Bet

The Super Bowl is the most watched game of the season and, consequently, also the most wagered on game. With such a marquee event, oddsmakers around the world will offer hundreds of different Super Bowl prop bets spanning everything from the final score of the game, to what color Gatorade will be dumped on the winning coach and to how long the National Anthem will be.

Famous Super Bowl Bets
by Darin Zank - 1/27/2011

About $83 million was bet on the Super Bowl last year in Las Vegas, and who knows how much more when including the world of Internet sportsbooks and local bookies. And while most folks aren't shy about sharing who they've backed, larger bettors would prefer to keep their activities quiet. Word can get out, but word also isn't always reliable.

Super Bowl Squares Pool Strategy
by Aaron Smith - 1/25/2011

The popularity of the Super Bowl means that getting a Super Bowl contest of some kind together is usually a simple task. One of the most popular ways for everyone to get involved now is a Super Bowl Squares betting pool. The typical Super Bowl Square will have 100 squares sold with each square costing the same amount of money. All 100 squares will contain a different number. The second number in the score of the Super Bowl game is always the number that is used to determine the winner. For example, if the final score of this Super Bowl ends up being Green Bay 24 and Pittsburgh 21, the winners would be four and one.
