NFL bets: Facts, info & tips

Despite the up-and-coming football business in other countries, the NFL is still clearly the focus of betting providers and by far the largest proportion of bets are placed with them.

There is already a fairly good selection of different betting markets for each game, all the more of course in the annual Super Bowl bets.

The potpourri of different options increases even more after the regular season with the knockout duels in the playoffs. The highlight of the competition will undoubtedly be the Super Bowl, the annual final of the US professional football championship.

Worldwide this event attracts almost one billion people to the TV screens and motivates many of them to place a bet.

Especially the clear structure of the game makes football the ideal betting sport. A match lasts 60 minutes (net) and is divided into four quarters of 15 minutes each.

The team in possession of the ball has with its offense four attempts to overcome a distance of ten yards (9.1 meters) with the ball by pass or by run. This tries to prevent the opponent's defense.

For a successful overcoming of the ten-yard distance the offense receives four new attempts (First Down).

Points are scored by finally bringing the ball into the end zone or kicking it through the goal.
