In addition to the sheer volume of people and dollars flooding  the market, you also have more betting options than any other single day on the  calendar \u2013 and the list of Super Bowl wagers on tap keeps getting longer and  longer.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start by revisiting the Golden Rule of money management: Diversify. <!--more-->Putting a pile of money on just the pointspread is a risky venture. Breaking  that pile down into smaller units and spreading them around will protect you  from getting burned by a single bad beat. There are literally hundreds of other  ways to play the Super Bowl, from the <strong>Super Bowl props<\/strong> market to  our <strong>live Super Bowl betting<\/strong> feature.<\/p>\n<p>Not that you want to spread yourself too thinly. A sharp bettor is too  discriminating to lay cash on every single bet that comes his or her way. Take  the time to browse the entire props list; some bets will jump out at you as  potential value plays, especially when they fall into your areas of expertise.  You shouldn\u2019t have any problem combining quality and quantity in this  marketplace. The same goes for live betting. If you\u2019re more familiar with  Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin than Arizona\u2019s Ken Whisenhunt, make more bets  when the Steelers are on offense.<\/p>\n<p>Your <strong>Super Bowl betting<\/strong> experience is ultimately defined by your environment. Are you going to be at a  party with friends and\/or co-workers? Or are you flying solo in your usual  handicapping workspace? The latter option gives you the opportunity to access as  many information sources as possible, which is especially important for live  betting. You\u2019ll want to shuttle between a handful of websites, in addition to  our own, to get the statistics and news updates you need. The industry standards  are the NFL home page, Pro Football Reference, and Football Outsiders for more  advanced stats.<\/p>\n<p>If Sunday is going to be more of a social event in mixed company (sharps and  squares, that is), then be social \u2013 imperative if you\u2019re the host, by the way. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 1px solid #ffffff;\" title=\"Bodog\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bodogaffiliate.com\/resources\/banners\/sportsbook\/square\/250x250\/250x250g-sportsbook.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Sports Betting at the Sportsbook\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/> This is where the prop \u201cparty sheets\u201d will come out. March Madness has its  office pools; your Super Bowl office party no doubt has its own contest to see  who can pick the most props correctly. If not, start one. Take a varied  selection of, say, 25 from our expansive list, covering both the Steelers and  Cardinals. Include at least the featured skill players: QB Ben Roethlisberger,  RB Willie Parker and WR Hines Ward for Pittsburgh; QB Kurt Warner, RB Edgerrin  James, WR Larry Fitzgerald and WR Anquan Boldin for Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>Your approach to the props market needs to fit the occasion, as well. Some of  these bets are purely for entertainment and have no investment value, the most  common example being the coin flip. No Super Bowl party sheet is complete  without the coin flip prop, but if you\u2019re handicapping the game from your war  room with your bankroll in mind, this is not the product for you. Again, there  are hundreds of others for your discretion.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re not going to be able to out-think your fellow Super Bowl guests on the  coin flip, but you can greatly improve your chances of winning the party sheet  by doing a little homework. Here\u2019s a classic: How long will it take Jennifer  Hudson to sing the National Anthem? The over\/under is 121 seconds; a little  digging around (like reading this article, for example) will reveal that Hudson  took <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8cJNnS7cQvg\"><strong>exactly that long<\/strong><\/a> at the Democratic National Convention in August. This same evidence-based  approach will help you suss out the value props if you\u2019re playing the market.  Now all you need for Sunday is a stylish beer-hat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s more than just one reason Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest betting day of the year.
