How to Bet on the Super Bowl
The Super Bowl is the biggest single betting event in American sports, known as much for its prop bets as for the game itself. This guide explains the main markets with hypothetical examples only.
- The main markets are the point spread, moneyline and total, plus a huge range of prop bets.
- Props are bets on specific events rather than the result — player performances, the first team to score, and many novelty markets, each priced on its own likelihood.
- Full-game spread, moneyline and totals usually include overtime.
Spread, moneyline and total
The core markets are the point spread (margin), the moneyline (winner) and the total (combined points) — the same markets covered in our American football guide.
Prop bets
The Super Bowl is famous for its huge range of prop bets, from player performances to novelty markets.
Combining and timing
You can build a bet builder across one game's markets, or bet live as momentum shifts. Full-game spreads, moneylines and totals include overtime — check segment markets separately.
Bet responsibly on the big game
The Super Bowl draws many casual bettors, so set a budget first and treat props as small-stake fun given their variance. Use responsible gambling tools to keep play in check.
