Are you ready for some NFL football betting? It’s that time of year again, and more Americans can bet on NFL games this year than ever before! If you’re interested in sports betting and just getting started, we’ve got the information that can help make your sports betting journey started in a safe, fun way!
Hello friends, and welcome to This Week in Gambling! And as September begins, I have to ask you: Are you ready for some football? And more importantly, are you ready for some NFL football betting? In 2017 there was one state where you could legally bet on NFL games. One! Now there are 38 of them! In fact, there’s so many states regulating sports betting that it’s easier to list the states that don’t regulate sports betting than it is the states that do!
Now if you live in one of the 12 states with no regulated sports betting, sorry about your luck. But you’re probably going to have to travel in order to place a legal sports bet. However,if you live in one of the 38 states that does allow NFL football betting, then this can be a very exciting time of year… Unless, of course, you’re kind of new to this whole sports betting thing. Then where do you start?
Well if you’re not familiar with terms like money-line, over-under, props, or parlay you might want to take a few hours to do some research. It’s simple. Just go online and learn all you can about sports betting terminology and the types of bets. Once you feel comfortable enough to walk into a sports book in a casino, or log into a sports book online, then you’re ready to jump into the action. And when you do, here are a few things to keep in mind.
First, I have to say it, but always always play within your means. Play responsibly. Set a budget and stick with it. Also, pay attention to where games are being played and the weather conditions… study those match-ups, check the injury reports, and be ready for some volatility… especially if you’re betting on divisional games. Now, all of this may seem a bit overwhelming and intimidating if you’ve never made a bet on an NFL game before. But to season sports bettors they’re practically remedial. Don’t worry, new guys… you’ll get there.
And while you’re waiting, if your state offers online NFL football betting here are some tips to make your experience even better. First, look for live betting. And while not everyone is a fan of prop bets, they are enjoyed by many players… so look for sites that offer them. Remember, not all betting lines are the same so shop around. And don’t forget about sign up bonuses and bonus bets! Those are advantages online sports books usually have over the land-based books.
However, if your plans do include a visit to Nevada to do some sports betting, our friends at Casino City just released their Top 10 List of Sports Books in the city, based on their level of service, food, aesthetics, and overall experience. Beginning with the Palms, Strat, and Bellagio, as well as the Cromwell and South Point… all with very strong showings! Now if you want to see the top five sports books in Las Vegas, and why they’re ranked where they are, just get over to Casino City Times.
And finally this week, just because it’s NFL football betting season doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten about our slot players out there!

And I really shouldn’t have to say this, but… if you do end up playing one of these new NFL slot machines, whatever you do, don’t pick the Cleveland Browns! Your odds of winning go way down!
