Sports Betting in Las Vegas

Sports betting in Las Vegas is great. Wether you want to bet the Super Bowl, the Kentucky Derby or March Madness, if you live in the United States, Las Vegas is the place to bet!

I was just out there and had some action going on the NFL playoffs! I had some action out there on the last Super Bowl too… I should have bet a future on the next Super Bowl, but I didn’t think of it… I do bet some baseball out there, but I usually end up betting that online… Yes, even when I am in Vegas, I will still sports betting online. Why? because you can get better odds online than you can in Vegas.

But it is fun to place bets in the Las Vegas Sports Books. Every casino has them, and some are nicer than others. The one at Wynn is great of course. I also like the sports book at the Mirage. I just one of the most famous Las Vegas Sports Books is the Hilton. The Hilton hosts the largest NFL football pool in the country year after year. I forget what the buy-in is, but I think it’s either $5,000 or $10,000. Either way, a lot of people join and the pay out is BIG.

The Sports books make a killing during the NFL season. Sure they make some money on baseball, basketball, horse racing, hockey, boxing, etc. But the real money is in people betting the NFL. It’s weeks of action for these sportsbooks, topped off with the mother of all weekends, the NFL Super Bowl. I think this weekend is the 2nd most sports bet weekends in Vegas with only 1 game. The first most sports betting weekend in Vegas is the first weekend of March Madness with 32 different games to bet on… It’s easy to tell that the most bet game in sports, year after year, is the NFL Super Bowl.

People often ask me how to bet on the super bowl. Well, it’s really easy in Las Vegas. All you really have to do is walk into almost any casino (or literally any casino on the strip) and look for their sports book. Right now, you can bet future bets on who will play in the Super Bowl and who will win the Super Bowl. The different odds for these bets are determined by who people think have a good shot at going to and winning the Super Bowl today. So these odds will change drastically after next weekend’s NFL games because half the teams will be eliminated.

Once the 2 Super Bowl teams are decided, there are a lot of different ways to bet on the Super Bowl. This is when the Super Bowl odds are determined for both the spread and the over/under (total) bet for the game. There are also a ton of prop bets offered on the Super Bowl, and these bets are created after the AFC and NFC Championship games too.

Super Bowl prop bets often range from which quarterback will throw the most yards to whether or not a particular running back or wide receive will score. Hell you can ever bet on the coin flip every year (heads or tails) or even on Super Bowl commercials (the BoDog online sports book usually offers a few bets on the adds).

Anyway, as we get closer and closer to Febuary 1st and to betting on the 2009 Super Bowl, be sure to continue to check back here at “Bet on the NFL Super Bowl” for all the up to date news and odds. Thanks for coming by!

Updated Super Bowl Odds from an Online Sports Book

Okay these are the odds for a team winning the Super Bowl as they are listed at the BoDog Online Sports Book.

Odds to win the 2009 Super Bowl XLIII
Arizona Cardinals 26/1
Atlanta Falcons 45/1
Baltimore Ravens 12/1
Buffalo Bills 5000/1
Carolina Panthers 9/1
Chicago Bears 50/1
Dallas Cowboys 13/1
Denver Broncos 26/1
Green Bay Packers 2000/1
Houston Texans 5000/1
Indianapolis Colts 10/1
Miami Dolphins 22/1
Minnesota Vikings 18/1
New England Patriots 28/1
New Orleans Saints 75/1
New York Giants 9/4
New York Jets 20/1
Philadelphia Eagles 30/1
Pittsburgh Steelers 13/2
San Diego Chargers 75/1
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 22/1
Tennessee Titans 13/2
Washington Redskins 90/1

Notice that Detroit and other teams that are eliminated from the playoffs are no longer listed? Also notice that teams that have a very long long road to the NFL playoffs also have very long odds to win the Super Bowl? You can get 5,000 – 1 to bet the Houston Texans to win the Super Bowl. So if you bet $500 on Houston, and they won, you would win $2,500,000.  That is how much of a long shot they are. I think to even make the NFL playoffs, they have to win out the rest of the season, and several other teams will need to lost the rest of their games. Then of course, the Texans would have to win all of their playoffs games, and then the Super Bowl against much better teams the whole way. Anyway, it’s near impossible and if you were to bet it, you might as well kiss that $500 goodbye.

So those are the update odds for now. If you are interested in betting any of these Super Bowl Props, you probably have until Thursday night’s game before the odds change again. These NFL Super Bowl odds are the bets offered at one sports book, but almost all sports books are currently offering Super Bowl futures, and odds may vary depending on what book you play with.

As always thanks for stopping by. Please be sure to remember us come the Super Bowl. We will be listing Super Bowl Prop Bets, Las Vegas Super Bowl Parties, and other fun things like how to bet the Super Bowl for novices.

We’ll be updating again soon :O)

More fantasy football talk… and here comes the playoffs

So much for having the best fantasy football team ever. My team was projected to score a ton of points this week, and it turns out that I’m lucky that I even won. By no means did I turn in a bad performance, but it was far from a great one too. Here is how the scoring broke down…

Quarterback – Kurt Warner – 279 passing yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. No a terrible day, but far from his 3 TD games. Against Saint Louis, he really could have done a lot more.

Running Back – Michael Turner – 61 yards and 1 TD. Again not the worse (thanks to him scoring), but Turner could have had a much better day.

Running Back – Joseph Addai – uhhh. He got a combine 40 all purpose yards. And to think I traded Thomas Jones for this guy. He is also now injured and could end up splitting time with Dominick Rhodes for the rest of the season. I hope that this isn’t the mistake that costs me the league Super Bowl…

Wide Receiver – Anquan Boldin – 62 yards and no score. Another off week for my fantasy stars.

Wide Receiver – Lee Evans – Benched in favor of Wes Welker which was a good call because Evans only had 23 yards all day. I’m glad I did listen to the people who were projecting a big day for Evans.

Wide Receiver – Wes Welker – Welker is a fantasy stud disguised as a #2 receiver… He had 134 yards yesterday and an extra point conversion. If only he got more TDs he would be a monster.

Tight End – Zach Miller – 64 total yards. Not too bad from the TE position.

Flex RB/WR/TE – Steven Jackson – 64 rushing yards. 1 TD. 2 Fumbles! It looks like S-Jax still isn’t 100%, but he does go against Seattle next week. I think I have to keep starting him (especially with Addai playing so poorly).

Kicker – Robbie Gould – I dropped him to start Jeff Reed, which was stupid. Reed got me only 3 extra points. I should have stayed with Gould who had a good day.

Defense – Miami Dolphins – 4 sacks, 1 interception, 1 fumble recovery, and they only gave up 3 points to Buffalo. This was a good day for the Dolphins D.

Some of my bench player also performed really well. Pierre Thomas had over 100 yards rushing and 2 TDs. LeRon McClain had a decent day too with about 60 yards and a TD. More importantly for McClain, he got 20 carries which pretty much shows him as the primary running back in Baltimore after all 3 of their running backs have been sharing carries over the season. I’ll bet that I need some of these guys for my fantasy playoffs and the Super Bowl.

My tight end John Carlson also had a good day, and Cadillac Williams goes tonight. I have Jerious Norwood to back up Turner if he goes down, but I doubt I’ll need him. I might even drop him for someone else if the opportunity arises.

This week is the start of my playoffs in this league, and then the Super Bowl is next week already. I often do side bets in this league with my friends, so while we do have a buy in and payouts for the leagues winners, we often have more action on heads up matches. I might even make odds on the league Super Bowl this year and take bets. This way people in my league can bet on the Super Bowl even if their teams are already out of it. This could make it more fun.

Anyway, that’s probably enough from now. Thanks again for stopping by, and please remember to come by this site around Super Bowl, especially if you are going to Bet the NFL Super Bowl.

The Sickest Fantasy Football Team

Okay, maybe it isn’t, but you have to admit that my team is stacked of the playoffs.

Quarterback – Kurt Warner – I traded for him around week 2 (I got him and Thomas Jones for Earnest Graham, great trade in hindsight). Warner had been incredible all year and in listed as a top QB play every week. He is the second highest scoring QB in my league.

Running Back – Michael Turner – Drafted in the 2nd round, Turner is the second highest scoring running back after Thomas Jones. He has been solid all year,

Running Back – Joseph Addai – Addai was injured earlier in the year. I traded for this 1st round RB 2 weeks ago. I gave Thomas Jones and Ricky Williams for Addai and Wes Welker.

Wide Receiver – Anquan Boldin – Even after missing a few weeks this year due to injury, Boldin is still the highest scoring fantasy wide receiver. I took him in the 4th round on my draft and it’s paid odd nicely. On the year, Boldin’s been targeted 111 times and has 942 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Wide Receiver – Lee Evans – Evans rotates with Wes Welker as my number 2 wide receiver. Evans can be very streaky and very frustrating at times because of this. I expect him to finish out the year strong, but I will probably start Welker more because he is more reliable.

Tight End – Zach Miller – I just picked up Miller. He is Oaklands leading receiver and he is palying San Diego this week. San Diego has giving up more points to fantasy TEs this year than any other team in the league.

Flex RB/WR/TE – Steven Jackson – My number 1 draft pick has now been moved to my flex after this year’s injury and streakiness. S-Jax isn’t worth a #1 pick going forward, but he is still a great guy to have as a flex.

Kicker – Robbie Gould – Kickers are kickers. I add and drop them on a weekly basis.

Defense – Miami Dolphins – They are better than a middle of the road defense able to get sacks and create turnovers. Most importantly, their remaining schedule is at Buffalo, vs San Fransico, and at Kansas City.

Current Bench (full of depth):
Wes Welker
Pierre Thomas
LeRon McClain
Cadillac Williams
Jerious Norwood
John Carlson

How would you like to face my team over the next few weeks?

I think I probably have more talent than 99% of teams in 12 team leagues at this point. It should be interesting to see how my playoffs and fantasy super bowl work out. I do have 4 incredibly unlucky loses on the year, so I’m currently in 2nd place in my league. I think I should win it all though.

Wish me luck!

The Super Bowl is only 2 months away…

I’m really not sure how it snuck up this fast on me this year. Looking through this site, I think I’ve only written about 7 posts all football season! Geez, I must be having too much fun watching all the games. Anyway, the summer was slow, so I wrote a lot more then…

So I just did a quick search for this site on google and it’s still no where to be seen. Someone at that search engine must have it out for this site! I’m currently still numero uno at MSN and Yahoo for – Bet the Super Bowl – which is where I need to be. If only google would come back on board, I’d be happy. Anyway, I still have 2 month until the Big Game, so plenty of time to still optimize this site. I plan on working on this site for at least an hour a day until the Super Bowl. That’ll be some work!

The Super Bowl this year is in Tampa Bay, Florida. That’ll be a nice trip for 2 lucky teams. It looks like the locals are calling it Super Tampa for the Super Bowl. This game will be played at Raymond James Stadium, and it’s the second time that this stadium will host the Super Bowl. I bet you didn’t know that!

I’d personally like to see a Subway Series Super Bowl. The New York Giants vs the New York Jets. Of course, it wouldn’t really be a Subway Series because the game wouldn’t be played in New York. Also, both these teams play at Giants Stadium which is in New Jersey. The Yankees/Mets Subway Series actually work because both teams play in New York City, in different stadiums, and you can take the subway all the way from 1 stadium to the other… Yeah, I don’t think that a Super Bowl Subway Series would be the same…

Thanks for stopping by again. Please continue to read – Bet the NFL Super Bowl!

Plaxico Burress = dumb ass

What an idiot this guy is! He goes from catching the winning touchdown in the Super Bowl to possibly going to jail in NYC for years after shooting himself in the leg! What a freaking moron. God I wish I had half his money. I’d let him shoot me in the leg!

Anyway, I have Plax on a fantasy football team in Yahoo!. I just got this roster alert - “Plaxico Burress has been dropped by 35118 teams in Yahoo! leagues”.  Hahaha… over 35,000 people have dropped his ass. And I’m sure the number will grow as we get closer to the weekend.

Anyway, it’s playoff time in fantasy football leagues. The next 3 weeks are the ones that are most important to Fantasy coaches with good teams. Typically the season ends with the fantasy Super Bowl on NFL’s week 16. This way fantasy teams aren’t hurt when NFL teams who have already made the playoffs decide to rest their stars so that they don’t get hurt before the real, NFL playoffs.

I’ve been playing fantasy football for years. I got burnt in a league 5 plus years ago when our Super Bowl was in week 17 of the NFL regular season week. My star running back was rested, and I ended up losing my fantasy Super Bowl because of it. It was so long ago, that I don’t remember who it even was anymore. I just remember that it happened.

Anyway, it had been a while since I wrote anything, and I wanted to let the world know that this site is still alive and kicking!

Thanks for stopping by “Bet the NFL Super Bowl”. Be sure to come by during the playoffs for updated Super Bowl bets and odds :O)

Updated NFL Super Bowl odds and week 6 betting thoughts

Wow, it’s already week 6 of the NFL. The Super Bowl is getting closer and closer… There are 11 more weeks of the regular season that will determine which teams make it to the playoffs. Then their are weeks of the playoffs which determine the best team for the NFC and the best team for the AFC. Then these two teams meet in the biggest, most watch sporting event of the year, and the winner is NFL champion, aka Super Bowl winner.

You can bet on who will win the Super Bowl now. Surprisingly (to me at least) the Dallas Cowboys are still the favorite to win it all at 5-1 odds. The New York Giants and the Tennessee Titans are tide for second favorite at 8-1 odds. After these two, the Washington Redskins, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the San Diego Chargers and the Indianapolis Colts are all listed as 12-1 odds. All odds are from Bodog.

Interestingly, 3 teams from the NFC East on among the top teams to win the Super Bowl. The only one not listed above is the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Eagles are a good squad. The NFC East is a powerhouse this year, and it’s too bad that the whole division won’t get a shot at the playoffs.

Weekly betting: The New York Jets look great this week. They are coming off of a bye, Cincy’s QB is out, and they have Brett Favre throwing to some great wide receivers. If you are looking for a good bet this week, check them out.

It’s the economy stupid… and week 6 in the NFL

Well, this economy looks screwed. The US government is actually going to start buying bank stocks for the first time since the Great Depression. What does that tell you? It tells me that the government is buying low to sell high.

It’s actually not a bad move as long as the companies that they are investing in don’t go bankrupt… Of course they won’t go bankrupt because the more money the company needs the more stock the government will buy. Then eventually the financial companies stock prices will right themselves, their stocks will increase, and the US government will sell them for profits.

That’s in a prefect world, but honestly, could it happen any other way? Not unless the whole financial model explodes. Stocks will eventually go up again and the government can wait 10 years to sell the stocks that they are buying today at at least 50% less than these stocks were a year ago. Not to bad federal government. Can I interest you in a Super Bowl Bet too?

In fact, I’ve been buying stock this whole week. Not a ton, but I just keep buying more every time the market goes down. So yes, I’ve been buying stock everyday. Am I worried that I’m going to lose all my money? Hell no. I’m not selling this stock for years and years, and just like the government, I can hold this stock until it’s profitable again.

Anyway, this was my ramble about the economy… Now back to football…

My NFL Sports Betting week 6 bets:

Indianapolis Colts -4 – Indy isn’t the team that it’s been in the past, but I think that they should win this one at home.

Cleveland Browns +8 – On Monday night, I expect the Browns to cover against last year’s Super Bowl Champs… am I crazy?

Dallas Cowboys -5½ – they were early season favorites to win the super bowl for good reasons. they are a good team and will show it this weekend.

New England Patriots +5 – no Super Bowl for this team this year, but I think that they could cover and maybe even win this week.

That’s it. Book the Picks and remember us for all you Super Bowl Sports Betting information.

This Super Bowl site needs a bump

Okay, I just googled “Bet the NFL Super Bowl”, and this site was no where to be seen. Yet it is great in yahoo and MSN… I’m not sure what the hell happened to my google ranking, but I assume that the site was hit with some new kind of google filter. I hate that. This is is named Bet the NFL Super Bowl and the damn URL is the same. I don’t know, but if you ask me, it should be the first hit in all searches.

Anyway, it’s week 6 in the NFL already and things are very interesting. The Cowboys look really good, but so do the Washington Redskins, the New York Giants, and the Philadelphia Eagles. The whole NFC East looks awesome this year. Who would have thought that the Skins would be this good? No one. And the Giants, last year’s Super Bowl winners, where underrated by everyone this year, but they have been kicking ass since their first game this season.

The Bills have come out of no where and are now 4-1…

The San Diego Charges also suck now. I mean they lost to the Miami Dolphins last week, yet some how they are favored by 5 over the New England Patriots this week. I’m not sure how they are favored by this much, maybe because they are at home and Tom Brady is out of the year, but I doubt that the Charges will win this game by more than 5 if at all.

Fantasy teams have taken huge hits this year with Tom Brady going down in week 1. One year I lost my 1st round draft pick early in the season, and I have to tell you, it kills your team. Of course, drafting a Quarterback in the first round is a dumb move that you kill your team anyway. The best is to take Running Backs in the first 2 rounds. They are too rare to wait to take. Good QBs can be picked up in the later rounds. Good running back can’t.

Well this stream of consciousness has run a few paragraphs, and I’m getting tired, so I’ll probably be leaving soon. Anyway, I hope that you continue to visit this site and remember us when you want to bet the Super Bowl. Thanks!

The NFL football season starts this week!

I love this time of year, football is in the air! And I have some great news about this site. It’s once again the first hit in google for the phrase Bet the NFL Super Bowl. Unfortunately, I’m still not of the front page for the phrase Bet the Super Bowl, but I hope to be there by January.

So sports bettors, any idea what online sports book you are going to use this year of the NFL season? If you are looking for more options, I have to suggest BoDog. They are offering all kinds of bets that you can’t find at other online books.
You can bet on whether or not any team is going to make the playoffs, how many wins tey will end the season with, how many home or any games they will win this season, and of course who you think will win the Super Bowl. They are also offering a ton of prop bets on individual players. Trust me, give them a look. (They are also offering live betting on a ton of NFL regular season games this year).

Anyway, I just wanted to drop a note to share the good news about this site’s ranking. Thanks for come by and reading. I hope that your remember me come Super Bowl time. Please feel free to bookmark me if you want.
