From a betting perspective at least, just what makes the Super Bowl so attractive to bettors that it routinely draws triple the handle of any other sporting event? Yes, it is the most watched football game of the year and yes the hype and media frenzy that surround the game turn even the mildest fans into crazed bettors. But the harsh reality is - the Super Bowl is just another football game.
Admittedly, it is more exciting to watch a game when you have money down on it. More people will be watching this game than any other, so it follows that more people will make bets on this game than any other. Therefore, it follows that the Super Bowl will draw a lot of wagering action. But triple that of any other game?
To wager on the Super Bowl and make a profit, you need to approach it as you would any other game. Make sure you get yourself the best possible line. Most bettors know how to shop for a good line, but few take time into consideration.
There is a general rule among professional bettors that suggests betting on the favorite (on the spread) and the over early, and to bet the dog and the under late. The reason is that recreational bettors tend to play on the favorite and over and thus they drive those prices up over the course of the week as books try and balance action. Of course that is not always the case or else books would simply adjust their opening lines in those directions and injuries during practice can always make a current set of lines obsolete.
For the money line, play the dog early and the favorite late because big games like this usually draw a lot of dog action with bettors looking for a big payoff.
