Football Betting & NFL Betting - The Original Online Betting Site

Our last post discussed the moneyline odds offered by 5dimes.com sportsbook, along with some thoughts about the most popular games in week 1 of NFL betting action. Now we’d like to take our thoughts a step further and discuss parlay betting opportunities, many of which could be very profitable.

Easy 2 Team Parlays:

• Bet Pittsburgh Steelers (Game date 9/10/2009) and Baltimore Ravens (Game Date 9/13/2009) for an easy 2 team parlay win.
• Bet New Orleans Saints (Game Date 9/13/2009) and New England Patriots (Game Date 9/14/2009) for another 2 team parlay winner.
• Bet Arizona Cardinals (Game date 9/13/2009) and Atlanta Falcons (Game Date 9/13/2009) for a slightly more risk 2 team parlay, but will probably pay better than our bets above.

Easy 3 Team Parlays:

• Bet the Pittsburgh Steelers (Game date 9/10/2009), the Baltimore Ravens (Game date 9/13/2009), and New Orleans Saints (Game date 9/13/2009) for a solid 3 team parlay win. This bet has good potential.
• Bet the Arizona Cardinals (Game date 9/13/2009), Atlanta Falcons (Game Date 9/13/2009), and the New England Patriots (Game Date 9/14/2009) for another 3 team parlay win with solid potential.

Easy 4 Team Parlay:

• Bet the Pittsburgh Steelers (Game date 9/10/2009), the Baltimore Ravens (Game date 9/13/2009), New Orleans Saints (Game date 9/13/2009), and the Arizona Cardinals (Game date 9/13/2009) for some easy cash. Remember, 4 team parlays pay more, but are more risky than a simple 2 or 3 team parlay.

NFL-Betting.com Week1 Super 7 team Parlay:

• Bet the Pittsburgh Steelers (Game date 9/10/2009), the Baltimore Ravens (Game date 9/13/2009), New Orleans Saints (Game date 9/13/2009), the Arizona Cardinals (Game date 9/13/2009), Philadelphia Eagles (Game date 9/13/2009), New England Patriots (Game date 9/14/2009), and San Diego Chargers (Game date 9/14/2009) for a thrilling 7 team parlay. Again, remember the odds of hitting a 7 team parlay are remote, but possible. Start your NFL betting season out right with a big win.

That’s it for now - just calling them like we see it on this first day of July. Obviously, we are going with the heavy favorites. Of all the various parlay bets discussed, the 2 team parlays probably have the best odds of coming through. Any time you get above 3 teams, you’re asking for a divine miracle to happen on your behalf. Has it happened before? Yes - but will it happen again? No one knows for sure.

Never one to jump the gun(s), but we’re happy to report that 5 dimes.com, one of the top sportsbooks in the offshore gaming business, has posted moneyline odds for Week 1 of the regular NFL football season. Football is still somewhat far off, even though the pre-season starts in just over a month’s time. Therefore, the odds posted right now are good discussion points ( if nothing else ), and offer a glimpse into what NFL betting linesmakers are thinking.

Week 1 Moneyline Odds and Select Games

1. Tennessee Titans +180, Pittsburgh Steelers -220
This one is a bit of a no-brainer. The Steelers, 2009 SuperBowl champs, have their sites set high and are looking to break out as league leaders in the initials weeks of regular season play. It probably won’t be a blow-out, however, since Tennesee only has a +180 moneyline, making a bet either way worth your while.

2. Miami Dolphins +170, Atlanta Falcons -200
Unlike the Titans/Steelers contest, oddsmakers are thinking this one will be a slightly more competitive between each team. The Falcons saw post season play last year, so it’s no surprise they are favored to roll over the Dolphins in the season opener. A bet on the Falcons is easy money.

3. Kansas City Chiefs +325, Baltimore Ravens -400
Your money is safe with Ravens, who qualified for the Wild Card game last season before bowing out. This game should be routine for the birds from Baltimore, unless the Chiefs have something really good hidden up their sleaves. Betting the Ravens may not pay well, but at least you’ll MAKE money on the deal.

4. Detroit Lions +525, New Orleans Saints -725
You’ll probably see this one in a free pick email from random handicappers as the season draws near. The Lions suffered through a horrible season last year, losing every game ( although they were close in a few contests). If you thought the Ravens/Chiefs contest was safe money, the Saints/Lions game is probably “safer” money than buying a treasury bond from the USA government.

5. Buffalo Bills +440, New England Patriots -580 [First Monday Night Game]
After your Sunday afternoon romp with the faves for week 1, why not treat your wife to dinner by betting the Patriots in the season opener of Monday Night Football? The Patriots are the clear favorite in this contest, and had a decent season last year, all things considered. Like other teams with post-season play potential, the Patriots need to get out of the gates with a kick by winning some early season contests.

That’s our Week 1 Round up for June 28, 2009. Yep, it’s early to count your chickens, but at least there are a few games that stand out as obvious ways to make a little cash. If you’re pumped for NFL action, there’s always the Pre-season, which begins early August. Until then, however, you’re going to have to enjoy baseball and other odd-ball sporting events. Remember: an informed bettor is a winning bettor, so always check your sportsbook’s odds before placing a bet!
