Super Bowl Betting Guide

Above is an example of what the line might look like in Super Bowl. The computer
betting number for the Falcons is 501; for the Broncos it is 502. The Broncos
are a seven point favorite. This is indicated by the -7, to the right of their
name. The Falcons, therefore, are a seven point underdog. The number 47 indicates
the total (over/under). The +180 and -200 represents the money line. The game
will start at 1:00 p.m. Nevada time. The bottom team listed is the
home team.

In Super Bowl wagering, a point spread is used to attempt to equalize
two teams. In the above example, the Broncos are a seven point favorite over
the Falcons. If you wanted to wager on the Broncos, they would have to win
the game by more than seven points in order for you to win your bet.

If you would have decided to wager on the Falcons, then in order for you
to win your bet the Falcons would have to either win the game or lose
by less than seven points. Should the broncos win by exactly seven points,
it is classified as a tie and all wagers on both teams would be refunded.

The number 47 is the total (over/under) number. You may wager on whether
the combined final score on both teams will be either over or under
this number. Should the total combined final score end exactly on 47, then
all bets would be classified as a tie, and all wagers would be refunded. All
points scored in sudden death overtime are counted in the final score.

When betting the over/under, it does not matter who
wins the game, only how many points are scored. In Super Bowl, when betting
on the point spread or the totals, the player wagers $11.00 to win $10.00.

The money line bet is indicated by +180 on the Falcons and -200 on
the Broncos. Money line is a wager for a particular team to win
the game without consideration of the point spread. For example: if you bet
the Broncos to win the game you would wager $2.00 to win $1.00 for a total
return of $3.00. If you bet the Falcons to win the game, you would wager $1.00
to
win $1.80 for a return of $2.80.

Super Bowl Parlays

You may combine two or more teams or totals in a single wager.
In parlay wagering, as in teaser wagering, ALL included in
a parlay must win by a margin as adjusted by the point spread. The more teams
included in a parlay, the greater the payoff. In the event of a tie in any
game, or total, the parlay is reduced to the next betting bracket. Thus, a
four team parlay with one tie would simply become a three team
parlay. Minimum parlay bets are $10.00.

Super Bowl parlay payoff prices are as follows:

Two team parlay	13 to 5
Three team parlay	6 to 1
Four team parlay	10 to 1
Five team parlay	20 to 1
Six team parlay	40 to 1

Again, in a parlay, all teams must cover their point
spread, as printed on your ticket.

Super Bowl Teasers

The generally a sportsbook offers 6, 6 1/2 and 7 point teasers.
You may choose from two to six teams in a teaser.
A teaser wager allows you to adjust the point spread in your favor by 6, 6
1/2
or 7 points. All teams selected in a teaser combination
must win by a margin as adjusted by the teaser
point spread. In a two team teaser involving a tie, wager is considered no
action
and money is refunded.
