HOW TO BET ON FOOTBALL 

When it comes to betting on Football you typically have 2 types of people. The first is a true fan betting for their team. The second can careless about the team and just looks at the games and the odds. No matter which one you are we will teach you how to bet on football. Especially since they just made betting on sports legal in Tennessee.
 
Basic categories of football betting are:
The Spread
Moneyline
Total Points Over/Under
Parlays
Futures
Teasers

The Spread

This is calculated by oddsmakers and they try to make it close to as even as possible so there will be betting action on both teams involved. One team will be the favorite and the other team will be the underdog. The spread is the number of points would have to win by.
For example Tennessee Titans vs Oakland Raiders
Tennessee Titans -3.5 
Oakland Raiders +3.5 
The (-) Means favored. So in this example the Titans would be favored to win.
You can bet on either team. But the spread means the Titans need to win by at least 4 points for you to win and cover the spread.
If the Titans only won by 3 points a bet to Oakland Raiders would have won because the Titans did not cover the spread.
If a team wins by the exact number that can be conspired a push and usually your money is returned. Tennessee has put in place a push law. See our laws pages for details on this.

Moneyline

Moneylines do not have a spread. You would be just betting on a winner or a loser. 
Lets use the example above of the Titans and Raiders. Lets say the Titans were a favorite at -360 
and the Raiders were the underdogs at +300. If someone were to bet on the Raiders as the underdog for a straight up win.
they would win $3 for every $1 wagered. So if you bet $100 on the raiders you would win $300 and get back your original $100 so $400.
The reason why this pays so well it is usually a risky bet and  some sort of upset needs to happen.
If you were to bet on the Tennessee Titans winning and you wagered $100 you would  only win $1.00 on every $3.60 you bet.
So if you bet $100 you would win $27.80 plus your $100 back so $127.80

Total Points/Over Under

With this bet you don't care about the teams.The only thing you are betting on is the score. Lets say the Titans raiders game had a total of 46.5 points.  You can bet whether the score will go over 46.5 points or stay under 46.5 points. This is a very easy bet to understand. While it sounds easy the oddsmakers are very good at getting very close to realistic numbers. So let's say the sore was Titans 35 Raiders 28 that would be a total of 63. So if you bet on the over you would have one. Odds for over under bets are usually -110. That means for every dollar you win you need to bet $1.10

Parlay

A parlay bet means making multiple bets. The payoff is usually very big because the odds of winning Parlays are so low.
So you would combine a series of bets all in one bet. You need 2 or more bets to consider it a parlay. To win every single bet has to win. It is a pretty big long shot but the payoffs can be huge.

Futures

Futures are fun bets because you are betting on an outcome far in the future. The odds on futures can change all the time.
Sometimes a sportsbook will also change odds if a ton of money is all going on one team. Here are some of the future bets

SUPERBOWL WINNER
NBA FINALS
WORLD SERIES
STANLEY CUP
DIVISION CONFERENCE WINNERS
GOLF MASTERS WINNER
AWARD WINNERS HEISMAN TROPHY
UFC BELTS

The nice thing is you can do a season long bet. Can you guess the future?

Teasers

A teaser bet is basically a parlay that allows you to make some changes. Some people think teasers are easier to win over parlays.
Basically you can change the pint spread and over under totals to try to take advantage of your bet.
