Bet Superbowl XLIV Online
The crown jewel of any sportsbooks’ betting year is the SuperBowl. It’s the one time of the year when everyone — from professional sports bettors to soccer moms who just get caught up in the excitement — decide that they feel strongly enough about the game to wager money on it. Last year’s SuperBowl, headlined by Pittsburgh Steelers defeating the Arizona Cardinals, was unbelievable not only because of the raw excitement of the game, but also because of the millions of dollars gamblers had wagered on the outcome.

While we’re still a ways off from this year’s SuperBowl, we do know a few things about it. The game will be played on February 7, 2010, at Dolphin Stadium in Miami, Florida. More importantly, we also know that we can place bets on the game right now even though there are no teams scheduled yet. These bets are called future bets (or futures) and most sportsbooks are currently taking action on them as we speak.
Futures are some of the most exciting bets you can make, because you have such limited information when you make them; yet almost every future has a chance of winning. Different sites offer different futures, but some of the most common are betting on which conference’s team will win the SuperBowl (NFC vs AFC), as well as which team will win the game outright. Taking last year’s game as an example, die-hard Pittsburgh fans who had enough faith in their team to get their money in early on a Steelers future were rewarded with a tidy profit.
What about your favorite team? As I mentioned earlier, getting in on this future action is easy with almost every sportsbook offering odds on the SuperBowl. But wait! Before you get your money down on your favorite team, do yourself a favor and shop around. Each sportsbook offers different lines on futures, meaning that you could potentially shortchange yourself by getting slightly worse odds on your bet than you would have if you had examined other sportsbooks to find a more favorable line.
Best Sites for NFL Future Bets
We recommended checking as many sites as possible before making your NFL future bets. However, in case you’re in a hurry, from our years of experience we’ll share which sites generally have the best lines:
1) 5Dimes.com is the most competitive online site for future betting, giving players better odds by taking less juice on the bets they offer. This is where your future bet line betting should start.
2) Bookmaker.com This sports book has higher juice than others you’ll find online; however, being the largest and most trusted bookmaker in the world, you can rest assured should your ticket win come February, your funds will be delivered shortly after. Bookmaker takes positions on teams, often dangling out some enticing lines and is certainly worth taking a peek at before making a future bet.
3) BetUs, Sportsbook.com and Bodog: These three sites have rare gems. Generally you’re going to find better odds at 5Dimes or Bookmaker on your NFL future bets; however, on some occasions one of these will have odds even as good as 20 percent better than the competition – only on select teams. Take a quick glance at these sites before making your Superbowl bet.
Betting the Superbowl in February
If futures aren’t your thing, you always have the option of waiting until the game is finalized before putting your money in play. By that time, you’ll be looking at smaller payouts since the field has been narrowed down to two teams, but you’ll also be able to bet with more confidence. Since the SuperBowl is the most popular betting event of the year, you will also see dramatic line movements as the general public starts putting their recreational money on the line, giving the sharp sportsbettor an opportunity to get his or her money in at more favorable odds than they’d normally see during regular season or playoff games.
No matter when you decide to bet on the SuperBowl, the game itself is the most amazing sporting event of the year and the fun factor is only amplified when you know you have a smart bet working for you.
