Strategies for Betting on Football Games: The Super Bowl & the Playoffs

Have you been trying to figure out the best ways to bet on the big game? Does it feel like, when it comes to Super Bowl Betting 2025 (or any other year), that you’re always “playing from behind,” so to speak? It doesn’t have to be that way. With a knowledge of how bets work, you can be in the best position to wager on the biggest game. Explore strategies for betting on football games to win more!

In-Game Betting: the Next Frontier

In-game betting at BetNow is, more or less, what it sounds like. Instead of players betting when the game starts, they’ll be able to bet throughout the game. As game circumstances change, so too can the way that the players bet. No longer are they beholden to an arbitrary time for when the game begins. 

Through this, players can use their intuition to make more bets and win more money than ever before. Many utilize this for the Super Bowl, when so much hinges on play. With every play being so magnified, players want to be able to bet on it, and this makes it so that they’re able to. 

How It Works

Players log into the site and then bet on what’s going to happen next. There are many different forms of betting available in the game. For example, depending upon the offering at the time (which is subject to change), you may be able to bet on what the next play is going to be. Pass or run? 

You can also bet on what the outcome of the next play is going to be. Four-yard gain? First down? Sack? Tackle for loss? Interception? Touchdown? Will the kick sail through the uprights? Or, will it miss? And if it misses, will it miss to the right, left, or just be blocked? 

In-game betting puts the player in control of their betting fate. You see the game, you see what’s happening, and you can decide how you want to bet on it. 

In-Game Betting Strategy: Pay Attention to “Big Mo”

“Big Mo” isn’t a tight end you’ve never heard of; “Big Mo” is momentum. In-game betting can be, in many ways, all about momentum. You’re betting on whether the momentum will continue or whether it will stop. If it’s already stopped, then you’re betting on whether or not it will return. 

Research is important when it comes to in-game betting, yes. But don’t ignore how momentum can affect a game. That’s where many either win or lose big with in-game betting. 

Odds: What They Are and Strategies

BetNow’s odds are developed by professional handicappers. No amateurs are involved at any stage of the process. These odds are specifically made for BetNow by BetNow’s pros. To that end, these odds do change as circumstances change. A player gets hurt, one comes back from injury, the weather looks bad, and so forth – as the game gets closer, the odds reflect facts and nothing else. 

That said, BetNow always endeavors to offer as many options as possible. There are odds on the big game regarding which team is going to win the game, yes, but there are also odds on so much more. 

Which team is going to win the quarter, which will win the half, which will score more points in the 2nd half, the third quarter, etc. That way, through this, bettors have more options to win big money not just after the game but throughout the game as well. 

The best strategy for the odds: set a number and stick to it. Whether you break your budget into “units” or just allocate a certain amount for each week, don’t let yourself be seduced by how good the odds look one week or the next. This goes for more than just odds, too. 

Lines

There’s no event like the Super Bowl. That’s true in terms of the hype, in terms of the ratings, in terms of the teams, and in terms of the betting. The professionals at BetNow understand that there are many, many options when it comes to the lines for the Big Game. As such, BetNow offers the best as well as the most options for the line. 

From the moment Championship Weekend goes final, the lines will be released. Then, they’ll be updated as the game draws near. When someone bets the line at BetNow, their bet is locked into that line. As such, players are encouraged to check the line often to find the option that is most advantageous to their belief of how the game will unfold. 

The best strategy for the line: figure out what your narrative of the game will be and bet that. Many’ll make a whole bunch of bets, hoping that one of several gets it right. That can clean you out quicker than researching to determine exactly what you think is going to happen and then betting that. 

More Ways Than Ever

Each of the options mentioned above can potentially be utilized during the big game. However, they can also be used for many, many other games throughout the season as well. The NFL season does not start on Super Bowl Sunday. That said, these options are also available for other games in other sports throughout the year, too. 

Follow these strategies, never bet more than you can afford to lose, and you’ll be good to go year after year.  Good luck before, after, and during the game!
