The Popularity of Propositions
Writing by admin on Wednesday, 27 of August , 2008 at 2:25 pm
With the NFL Regular Season right around the corner, it´s time to load up your favorite sportsbook page and begin wagering on your favorite teams. If you are one of these people who has grown tired of the same boring point spread and total, then the “proposition” bet may be just what you need. This overlooked portion of the betting world is now becoming more and more popular among die-hard bettors. The proposition or “prop” (as it is more commonly referred to), involves almost every aspect of the game you can think of. Maybe you´re willing to bet your month´s salary that Brett Favre will pass for more than 300 yards against the Bengals, or that the Bengals will be the first team to score a touchdown in that game. 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 famous sporting event related to proposition 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 finish 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 for you. Would you dare to wager that Obama will become the 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 choice for any bettor, with high odds and exciting decisions. Why not check out your trusty sportsbook for these and other great proposition bets.
