Only a few more days to bet the 2010 Super Bowl

Every year we rank the best online sportsbooks to bet the Super Bowl. This year our #1 ranked sportsbook is BoDog (Click here to visit). This site wins in safety, customer service and bets offered. The last thing you want to do is win a bet and not get paid. We guarantee that won’t happen at BoDog. If you want to read more about our recommended sportsbooks, please see our updated sportsbook review.

Super Bowl Betting –
In out last post, we listed some of the hundreds of things that you can bet on Sunday. BoDog currently has odds available on almost anything you can think of. You can bet on the number of times Peyton Manning gets sacked or the number of times CBS shows Eli Manning watching the game.

BoDog (and several other online sportsbooks) also offer live in game betting on the Super Bowl. That means you can bet on a team or an adjusted total after every play. The spread also changes throughout the game depending on what’s happening. Suppose Reggie Bush runs back the opening kickoff for a touchdown. The spread will quickly change from the Colts -6 to the Saints -1. What if Drew Brees has a game ending injury on the Saints first drive? You should expect the spread to jump from the Colts -6 to the Colts -14 or more. Watching the spread move is a lot of fun.

Super Bowl Ticket Prices –
On a side note, Super Bowl ticket prices have dropped this year. If you go to Stubhub right now, you can find the cheapest tickets for around $1,400 each. The cheapest tickets were originally priced around $3,500. Sellers are blaming the weak economy and the fact that the Colts were just in a Super Bowl in Miami 3 years ago.

The weakened economy caused tickets to be cheaper in two ways. First corporations, which usually purchase a lot of tickets haven’t this year. This means there are more tickets available for fans to purchase. This is a good thing, and it leads to more tickets being offered in secondary ticket markets (like Stubhub, Ebay, etc.). Secondly, individuals are saving more and spending less. Fans who might have paid $2,000 or more to go to the Super Bowl a few years ago are now happier staying close to home and spending far less.

Personally, if I was going to spend $2,000 Super Bowl weekend, I’d much rather bet that money and try to turn it into $4,000 than go to the game and sit in the worst seats in the stadium. It would make the game a lot more interesting, and you would either have a great story of triumph (your team won and you won $2,000) or a great story of despair (your team lost and you lost $2,000). Yeah, I think saving that money and betting on the Super Bowl would be my course of action.

Thank You!
We can’t say this enough, but thanks for continuing to read our site – Bet the NFL Super Bowl. Of course, our traffic goes way up this time of the year. We originally started this site to teach people how to bet the Super Bowl (since it’s the most heavily bet game of the year). Since then we’ve evolved to providing Super Bowl news, odds and sportsbooks rankings. From the feedback we get, people mostly already know how to bet the spread and prop bets. Instead our readers wanted to know which online sportsbooks were offering the best and most interesting bets on the game, and I think we cover that well.

If there is anything we discuss that you would like to see more of, please let us know. Enjoy the big game!
