Almost all American Football Bookmakers offer only 2-way wagers, that means you cannot bet on a draw, even if you wanted to. So betting on the coming Superbowl Champion means just that: “Who will win ?” Should there be no winner after the regular 4 quarters, the game will be decided by “Sudden Death”, meaning the next points scored will decide the outcome, wether it may be by Touchdown, Fieldgoal or even Safety.
Betting on the “Over or Under” (total points):
It is widely expected, that the 44th Superbowl will become a “Shootout” by two teams, that both rely heavily on their respective offensive lines. Most bookies like 888.com Sports, Betfair or William Hill offer the “under or over”-bet at 56.5 points, so 56 points (or less) for the “under”-wager, 57 points (or more) for the “over”-sportsbet.
