How to bet on Football (US)

Overview

Whether you're new to betting on Football, or just in need of a refresher, check out our Football Betting Guide and House Rules.

Important: There must be 5 minutes or less of scheduled game time left for bets to have action unless the specific market outcome is already unconditionally determined. In the event a game is halted before the minimum time (55 minutes) has been played, and not completed within 48 hours of the scheduled start date and time, bets will be void, unless the specific market outcome is already determined (unless otherwise stated).
