You may be wondering what kind of things one might bet on in the realm of the future of NFL games. Well, it would be things like if the Patriots are going to win over X games in the upcoming season. Or if the Falcons are going to lose at least X games in a season. Or how many yards will Peyton Manning throw in the season. (You can imagine all of the possibilities a booker with an active imagination could come up with.) Lots of bets like this; bets that pique your curiosity and get you even more involved in Sunday football. As if that were possible.
Experienced bettors like futures. Why? If you know your football, and if you have deep experience in the betting game, you can find some sweet futures that will pay off fairly well for you. What looks like a toss-up to a neophyte looks might just look like a sure-thing to you. And that is a good feeling.
It also gives you something to do in the off-season; something other than the stuff you have to do but don’t want to. Oh, and when the first ball is thrown, you’ll be well primed for what comes next.
You should think about how long your money will be tied up when you place future bets, though. Money that is tied up in an account is money that is not be bet in other places after all. Unless you are a lucky bettor with close to unlimited resources, you may want to consider this before going all in for futures.
So, a future bet is something to look forward to. Something that can often pay a decent rate when you’ve out in some time and made the wise calls you are known for making. You my also find that you are more revved up for the season than you thought it possible to be. So there’s that.
