Beautiful Miami Florida, Dolphin Stadium, is the setting for Super Bowl XLI on Feb. 4, 2007. Two NFL teams will meet here of the biggest game on the year, the NFL Super Bowl.
Bookies, the Las Vegas sports books, and the online sports books are getting ready for the action. Why? Well, the Super Bowl is the most heavily bet game in America. The first weekend of March Madness is the second most bet time, but there are 32 games in that weekend. The Super Bowl is one game on one day.
Sports bettor’s from around the United States will be lining up at the Las Vegas Sports Books windows to place bets on which team they think will win (or cover the spread). But the bets don’t end there…
Being that this is the biggest game of the year, Sports Books (both in Vegas and online) are offering thousands of different bets. A standard super bowl bet is to bet on which team will cover or the over/under number of total points both teams will score. No so standard super bowl bets range from who will win the coin toss to who’s 2nd string running back will get more yards. Basically, with the Super Bowl, you can bet on almost anything that will happen in the game. And it doesn’t stop there…
Last year, some online sports books where even taking bets on the Super Bowl commercials. No only bets on which one will win USA today’s “best commercial†vote, but I remember one Super Bowl Bet, where you can bet on if the Burger King guy will score a touchdown during the Super Bowl. Well, someone must have known something on this, because the line took a huge jump one day, and no the king didn’t score during the Super Bowl (even though he did though out the playoffs).
Main people turn to local bookies to bet on the Super Bowl as well as regular season football games and the playoffs, But very few bookies offer exotic bets like those on the commercials. I would even be surprised to hear of a bookie offering a bet on the coin toss. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure a lot of American bookies clean up Super Bowl weekend, but they just don’t offer the amount of action that Las Vegas or Online Sports Books do mostly because of the level of clients.
A lot (and I mean A LOT) of Americans place bets online though sports books like BoDog or Nine. The government just ruled against the legality of these books, but since it doesn’t go after individual bettors, people continue to bet with them. In fact world wide, there are many places to gamble online, but because there are so many, some are scams. We recommend a few here that are completely legit and are the best in the business under the tab sportsbooks and poker at the top of the page.
Good luck in your NFL playoff and Super Bowl Betting.
