American Football

American football is an adaptation of rugby football played in the United States during the autumn and early winter months. Its popularity has spread worldwide and there are amateur and professional American Football leagues in Europe, Scandanavia, Asia, Australasia and elsewhere.

The game has fans worldwide who love to bet on American Football and it is the matches played at the highest level in the United States that attract the most betting interest. Benefiting from global TV broadcasting, bookmakers have demands from every country where gambling is legal, to accept bets on American Football.

Most bets are taken for matches in the NFL, (National Football League) which culminates with a playoff tournament for the final championship game, the Super Bowl.

College football in the United States also a big following outside the country and bookmakers offer betting markets on the NCAAF (National Collegiate Athletic Association) and from Canada the CFL attracts a lot of betting interest.

Betting terminology for American sports differs from the UK and Europe and American Football bettors quickly become accustomed to the betting jargon.

Game lines are simply the odds and the staple bets are for the Spread, where one team receives a handicap, Totals, a target points total for the game where bettors can back Over or Under the Total and the Money Line which is the odds for the team to win.

American Football games will play overtime to determine a winner, so there is no draw betting on the games. With those betting markets effectively reduced to a ‘two horse race’ the odds are quite short and punters looking for big wins from small stakes will opt to Parlay their bets.
