“Props” Bring New Life to Sportsbooks
Writing by admin on Wednesday, 27 of August , 2008 at 2:15 pm
With the beginning of the NFL Regular Season starting soon, it´s that time of year when millions of devoted football fanatics load up their sportsbook website and start to place wagers on their favorite teams. If you are one of these people who have become tired with the same old point spread and total, then the “proposition” bet may be just the breath of fresh air you need. This often overlooked aspect of the betting world is now becoming more popular among hardcore bettors. The proposition or “prop” (as it is more commonly referred to), involves almost every aspect of the game you can imagine. Maybe you´re willing to bet your salary that Brett Favre will throw for more than 300 yards against the Bengals, or that the Bengals will be the first team to score a touchdown in their first game of the regular season. Props not only involve wagers on a single game or player, but also on a specific team´s performance throughout the season. Some examples could be a wager on the Patriots to win the AFC Conference, risking $100 to win $165, or wagering on the long shot Atlanta Falcons to win the Super Bowl $100 to win almost $17000.
The Super Bowl is probably the most popular sporting event related to prop bets. In this particular game, you are able to wager on almost anything from the winner of the coin toss, all the way to a bet on whether the game will end in overtime. Not even the half-time show is off-limits in regards to prop wagers, some past props include: which song a certain performer will sing or if there will be another “wardrobe malfunction” as we saw a few years back.
Maybe football is not your cup of tea. Would you dare to wager that Obama will be the next president of the U.S.? You would need to risk $260 to win $100, or you could bet on McCain to win the election at odds of $100 to win over $200.
Props are definitely a good option for any bettor, with high odds and exciting outcomes. Check out your favorite sportsbook website for these and other distinct prop bets.
