Football is one of the most popular sports to bet on, and there are many ways to do it. There’s a strategy involved and lots of bets to consider when putting together your Super Bowl betting plan. Let’s look at the different bets commonly used for the Super Bowl and how you can use them.

Super Bowl Moneylines Bet Maryland

The moneyline is the most straightforward bet in sports; you’re just betting on which team will be the winner overall. No margins are involved in a moneyline bet. It’s probably what you may be used to when making friendly wagers with friends: “$10 on San Diego to win.”

Odds do play with Moneyline bets, as your Moneyline wager pays based on the odds tied to your wager. Example: There may be -150 odds on a Moneyline wager on the favorite. That means you win $100 if you put down $150. On the other hand, if you bet $100 on the underdog and the odds are +150, you will win $150.

Super Bowl Totals (over/under) in MD

If you go with a total wager, your result depends on whether you bet correctly that the Super Bowl’s combined final score will be either over or under what the Super Bowl sportsbook projected when you were wagering.

Example: A sportsbook may set the Super Bowl over-under total odds at 60 points. If you wager “under” that and the game ends at 40-31, then you lose the bet since the total ended up being 71. But if the game’s final score is 30-21, your “under” bet would win because the total was 51, under the original total odds of 60.

Player Prop Bet

Is there a star player or your favorite player in the Super Bowl? The player prop bet is for you. This one lets you bet on an individual player’s performance, and sportsbooks usually offer many player prop bets during the Super Bowl (they set the odds based on different players’ statistics throughout the year).

Some examples would be if a running back overperforms or underperforms based on the usual 25 carries. Or if a quarterback throws more or less than 350 yards in the Super Bowl.

A prop wager is based on whether they exceed expectations or fall below them. You can even make prop bets on the less flashy or non-skill players during the Super Below (sometimes even an entire unit, like the defensive unit).

For example, a prop bet for a kick may be based on his successful number of field goals or if they miss something. You could also bet on how the defense will specifically perform, say, how many points they give up.

Another option for Superbowl betting Maryland is an exotic prop bet, which amps up the fun. With an exotic prop bet, you can bet on random elements of the Super Bowl, everything from who wins the coin toss as the game options to unexpected singer cameos during the halftime show.

Super Bowl MVP Bets

This is considered one of the safest bets in Super Bowl betting as typically, the winning team’s quarterback is named the Most Valuable Player more than half of the time, and some players are multiple winners.

Still, this one can be exciting. Wide receivers and running backs sometimes earn the honor. If the result of the game is uncertain with no clear favorite and there are multiple star players in the running for MVP, an MVP bet may be a lucrative one.

Alternate Lines

You’re playing the spread here, but you’re going to be able to do it creatively. MD sportsbooks offer alternative line bets as options for wagers after they set a point spread.

Alternate lines can include point spreads for favorites and underdogs. Commonly, a heavy favorite can be bet as a heavy underdog, and a heavy underdog can be bet as heavy favorites — and everything in between.

For example, say this Super Bowl matchup is between the Ravens and the Patriots, and the Ravens may enter the game as 5-point favorites. Alternate lines could include a wager that pegs the Ravens as 10-point favorites.

This kind of alternate line wager could lead to a better payout for you because it’s more unlikely that they’d be that much of the favorites.

Point Spreads Super Bowl

One of the most popular Super Bowl betting options relates to the point spread, the victory margin of the winning team set by Super Bowl sportsbooks. A common bet is to “cover” the spread, and to win that bet, the favorite must win by more than the point spread. If the favorite wins but the score is less than the spread, the “cover” bet loses.

Live Betting on the Super Bowl in MD

An increasingly common option for Super Bowl Maryland sports betting, with live bets, you get to place wagers as the game goes on instead of just before the game starts. Live betting in Maryland can include moneyline, total, or point spread wagers and capitalize on the odds changing as the game moves.
