In the previous article we talked about the great betting opportunities available in the American sports, especially American football. Furthermore, we introduced some basic betting options that bookmakers offer to their customers. Now in the next few lines we will try to complete the picture and talk about the special bets on American Football. These are the types of bets that can be made only in this sport and are also attractive enough for the bettors.

In the first place we have a betting option for the longest touchdown scored. Here bookmakers offer a limit of yards which the bettor should consider whether the longest touchdown will be longer or shorter than the limit offered by the betting house. The same goes for the special bet for the shortest touchdown scored. Here again we have a limit and the bettor’s task is to determine whether the shortest touchdown will be above or below it.

Another interesting bet for the NFL matches is if one of the teams will be able to score three consecutive times. This betting option offers pretty good odds, allowing a reasonable game and related strategy based on the defence of different teams.

From the other bets on NFL matches an immediate impression makes the bet Winning margins. In this bet, the player must not only predict the winner of the match, but the exact margin by which the team will win. Of course, this is too hard for proper prediction, but the bookmakers offer different periods which make the betting easier. For example, for an NFL match you have margins of 1-6 points, 7-12, 13-18 and so on.

The odds for this betting option usually start with 6 or 7 and go to 101. This suggests that a well-made strategy can be created for a profitable betting system.

Another specific betting option that is only available for American football is related to the prediction of the first offensive play of the game. Here are two opportunities – pass or run. Usually the coefficients are equal, but there is need of very good knowledge of the strategies of both teams and their ability to attack for proper prediction.
