American Football In-Play Betting

American football is becoming more popular within the United Kingdom. Millions of fans watched or listened to Super Bowl LVIII in the UK, which was the biggest audience since the early 1990s. So, it’s not surprising that NFL betting is taking off in a big way, particularly NFL in-play betting. But what is it and what does it mean?

Betting on American football at Paddy Power is just like betting on any other sportsbook. You select a market – how many points in the first half, for example – and you place your stake. If it wins, you’ll receive the total amount plus your stake.

Live NFL betting follows the same rules, but the odds are decided based on what happens during the match. They either shorten or lengthen based on the probability of an event occurring, like a touchdown, field goal or interception. Of course, the odds are updated accordingly, making it easy to keep tabs on what is happening throughout a game.

How do in-play American Football odds work?

In-play American football betting odds work similarly to live odds in other sports: lower odds suggest a more probable outcome while higher odds indicate a less likely result.

Essentially, in-play betting for American football is about weighing up real-time developments on the field against the changing live odds.

In short, the live American football odds you see here at Paddy Power will reflect the current status of any NFL game. In the event you place a correct bet on a live market, your payout will be determined by the in-play odds you selected and your chosen stake.
