Betting on the Super Bowl 50
Super Bowl 50 is here and this time around the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers meet Sunday, Feb. 7 at 6:30 PM ET at the Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
A “one sided betting event” many have said, since Carolina Panthers are a heavy favorite, which is not that common when it comes to the Super Bowl betting, usually the gap is smaller, but in this case the odds put the Panthers at -6 in most sportsbooks although you may also find some shops offering -5.5, the total, in the meantime has been pretty steady at 45.5 most bets are being placed on the over by the way.
The Super Bowl always comes full with excitement,…
…but watching the game is just part of it, let’s face it, in reality it’s betting on the super bowl game that makes it even more exciting and keeps everyone at the edge of their seat for most of the game, the Super Bowl is considered the biggest single American sporting event for gambling, and why not, you have a huge offering of props to choose from, some of which have nothing to do with the game itself, so even when you may not have all the stats or know each team/player well enough to feel confident on betting the game, you can always place a wager on some of the crazy props being offered and make some easy money betting on the super bowl.
Will this be Peyton Manning’s last season? That’s a question that’s been hanging in the air for a while, and of course it’s a prop bet, you can also predict when the announcement will take place, if prior to the game or at the post-game presser for example (we are thinking neither, if he retires he’ll probably announce it weeks later, just our opinion). Betting on Cam Newton to be named MVP it’s a pretty safe bet because of the awesome season he’s had, but it’s a bet that won’t pay much of course, however you can decide to bet on someone like Von Miller to be named MVP with odds at 20/1 , it’s a long shot, but you risk small with possibilities of winning big, so it all really depends on the kind of gambler you are, if you are serious about it and know your stuff or if you just want to join in the fun as a recreational gambler betting on the super bowl.
The Peyton Manning and Cam Newton specials are preferred by bettors, no surprise there, as both are part of the attraction of this game, Manning a veteran, this may be his final game, and if so he is certainly going to try and give his best show and go for that second Super Bowl ring, and even for his sixth MVP. Cam Newton on the other hand, a young QB that has had a record breaking season, this is his first super bowl, and he is looking to close up big, if Panthers win on Sunday we will be the third quarterback to win both a Super Bowl and NCAA Championship as a starter. So there, we’ve given you plenty of reasons and options for wanting to bet on the Super Bowl 50, it really doesn’t matter if you are an expert or a rookie, if you want to risk big or small, is really just about adding that extra excitement when watching the game.
Enjoy and Good Luck!
