American Football

American Football and the NFL has been a popular spectator sport in Europe for many years thanks to comprehensive television coverage. The UK has even enjoyed NFL games at Wembley Stadium. It’s no surprise then that American Football is now a popular sport to bet on.

To maintain a season-long interest, teams can be backed in the Superbowl, Conference or Division outright winner markets. Generally the previous years play-off teams will feature towards the top of the market but the status quo changes quickly in the NFL and teams can go from zero to hero quickly, so don’t be afraid to take a look at the bigger priced teams.

On a weekly basis though, there is ample opportunity to bet on individual games. Match result markets will offer prices on the two teams just to win the game, while there will also be handicap betting available.

One side is given a certain number of points that effectively tries to equalise the two teams and where the number of points either received or given is added to the match result to provide the handicap result. Match odds and handicaps can be backed as singles or used in multiple bets.

As well as these options, there is a total points line, which has proved hugely popular amongst the punters. In the same way as the match handicap works, a figure is set for the number of combined points that both teams will score in the game.

So if you’re an American Football fan, totesport.com is the perfect place for all your betting needs.

Baseball

Betting on baseball has become very popular over the past few years, thanks to live television coverage in Britain and Europe of top-level games from the USA.

Totesport provide wide-ranging baseball markets, offering outright prices on the World Series almost all year, from the start of the season in March to the bitter end in either October or early November, when the leading sides in the American and National League meet in a best-of-seven showdown.

As well as the outright market, totesport offer prices on each of the six divisions that make up the American and National Leagues. Much of totesport’s baseball betting action comes with the daily match markets. There are usually somewhere between six and 15 games per day, every day of the week.

Another exciting market is Total Runs, where punters try to work out how many runs the two sides will combine to score in their nine innings. The total will almost always come with a half-point to ensure the market does not end in a tie.

Of course, one of the most popular baseball bets is outright market for the World Series. This can be a very fluid betting market, as prices change throughout the season and by having a stake on a few teams, you can give yourself a little extra interest in how thing’s progress.

So if you’re a baseball fan, then have a baseball bet at totesport.com, where you’ll find a wide range of markets available on a huge number of games.

Basketball

Interest in the NBA has been on the rise in recent years, especially after the increased TV coverage in the UK with a number of regular season games and the play-offs shown live. At totesport we offer many NBA basketball markets.

The NBA schedule keeps players and punters alike busy from November until June, when the play-offs come to an end with a battle between the Eastern and Western Conference winners. It’s not beyond the realms of possibility to have all 30 teams playing on the same day in the NBA with most teams playing three or four times a week, and totesport have match prices on every game.

Another popular market is the point spread, which offers different prices on both sides, with the outright favourite being given a points handicap to the outsider. Sometimes you may also find an alternative points line markets available, with the outright market favourite asked to give up an even bigger head-start.

The other main basketball bets at totesport revolve around the total points in any given match-up, with the odds compilers setting a mid-point – for example 210.5 points – and giving punters the chance to bet that it will either be under or over their target.

With interest is also growing in the British Basketball League, a number of leagues in Europe and the college games in the United States, basketball betting is only going to become more popular. You can check out all our latest basketball odds at totesport.com.

Ice Hockey

Ice Hockey is one of the biggest sports in the USA and Canada and thanks to television coverage, it has become a popular sport to bet on in the UK and Europe.

The main competition is undoubtedly the Stanley Cup. Each team plays a total of 82 regular season games, with the 30 teams battling for a place in the top 16 in the standings. Those 16 teams face each other in play-off games, concluding with the champions of the Eastern and Western Conference meeting in a best-of-seven final, to win the Stanley Cup.

As well as offering updated Stanley Cup prices throughout the season, we will also have prices pre-season on the Conference titles and divisional winners.

You will find matches on most days of the week from October through to the conclusion of the season in April. There can be anything up to 15 games per evening, with match betting available for all of them.

There are other hockey betting opportunities within each game, with the most popular of those being the spread market, where the favourite in the outright market is given a handicap of a certain number of goals. This gives punters a chance to back favourites they fancy at slightly longer odds than they might in the outright. Then there’s total goal markets, which require you to predict the combined number of goals scored by the two teams.

Whatever your strategy, have fun with your ice hockey betting and don’t forget to check out all our latest odds at totesport.com.
