Betting on football can be as easy or as complicated as you like, it all depends on the type of bets you prefer to make, and now gamblers have plenty of choices depending on their personal preferences.

Different bets for different folks

Some highrollers and newbies prefer making simple, basic bets on a football game, like on which team is going to win or on the over/under of the total score.

These bets are easy to make and there is plenty of statistical data available to help make a more educated bet.

Others, however, prefer to shake it up a bit, blow away the status quo and spend their gambling allowance on something called proposition bets, or prop bets, which is where gambling starts to get interesting.

These are the “crazy” bets, the ones you wouldn’t think a bookie would take, yet nowadays you can find someone to take just about any wager you can think of.
