NFL Odds

The National Football League has always had a complicated
relationship to gambling. Many of us love to bet on football – it’s both
exciting and fun. The problem is that it’s illegal in most of the US
except Las Vegas. But with the
constantly rising popularity of gambling
online
, the thrill of betting on NFL games has become available for people
both in the US
and elsewhere.

The thing is that the NFL doesn’t want to acknowledge this
fact. The NFL has a policy that prohibits gambling related advertisements
during televised games, completely ignoring the fact that many fans also likes
gambling. This was made really clear when the NFL denied the city of Las
Vegas
to run an ad during Super Bowl a few years ago. The ad
wasn’t really about gambling, but about Las Vegas
as a tourist town and had already been broadcasted on several American
networks. But the NFL sticks the head in the sand completely ignoring that many
people are drawn to football because
they can bet on the games.

Luckily this is no big issue. Gamblers from all over the
world bet on football online. There is tons of gambling news and sports
betting tips available on the Internet which makes it easy to get solid
information before placing a wager. So sure, the NFL stance on gambling can be
said to be problematic, but it doesn’t really effect the actual gambling.
People in the US who want to gamble, whether it means betting on sports or
playing online blackjack are, only a click away once they turn on the computer.
The question isn’t if but when NFL will embrace this fact. The NFL can definitely
thank gambling for much of the interest for the game.
