How NFL Betting Markets Have Changed

There has been a real change in how people can bet on the NFL over the past few years. Gone are the days when placing a wager on the money line was all you could do.

Now we have an excellent range of betting markets in place, while bookmakers have also moved into offering player prop markets in a bid to compete with fantasy sports.

The choice for those placing bets on weekly action has never been as good, so it is no surprise to see NFL betting continue to grow in popularity.

If you’re stuck using the same markets, here are three ways in which you can place new style bets on the upcoming 2020 season.

Player Prop Betting Markets

The very best NFL bookmakers have started to offer player prop betting markets. This is to compete with the thirst for this type of market from those who enjoy playing fantasy sports.

Not every bookmaker offers these markets, only those who have an in-depth NFL service. Mansion Casino Canada is an example of what the big, established bookmakers can offer to those looking to bet on the NFL and other sports.

Player prop betting markets include betting on the number of touchdowns a player will have, the number of yards in the game they get either as a receiver or rushing.

You can also use these markets to bet on quarterbacks, so you can bet on these players to throw touchdowns or throw yards in the game. 

This pushes betting closer to fantasy sports, something that is arguably more popular than betting on the NFL worldwide, especially in the US. However for those who do bet, it offers a new and unique way to get into NFL betting during the 2020 season.

Points Betting Markets

Many people will have seen the standard points betting market, which is an over/under line on the total points in a game. However, there are now many more points betting markets you can use if you want to bet in this way.

Points betting is becoming increasingly popular because it allows you to place a bet on the game without choosing who will win. Now you can bet on point in a game in many more ways.

You can bet on who will score first, who will reach 10 or 20 points quickest, if there will be points scored in every quarter, which half will have the most points in it and much more. With TV streaming offering more people the chance to watch games, these types of betting lines are seeing increased use. 

Just like the total points betting line that some of you may be used to using, these are all betting markets that you can use without picking a winner of the game.

Splitting the Game into Small Sections

A game in the NFL lasts for a total of 60 minutes, with four quarters that each consist of 15 minutes. You no longer need to bet on the entire game if you don’t want to.

Many sports, including the NFL have seen a rise in betting markets that split the game into sections. This means you can place a wager on a selected quarter or half, rather than the full game.

For example, if you see a team who always start fast and score early, you can back them to win the first quarter or the first half, rather than the entire game.

These markets can all be used in play too, which adds to their popularity. For example, if you see something happen in the first quarter that gives a team an advantage, you can back them in play to win the second quarter.

The creation of these markets and how in play has evolved have put together many new opportunities for splitting the game into sections.
