Live Action Football Betting With Bodog Live
From Bodog Sportsbook

It's fourth and goal with two seconds remaining for the San Diego Chargers. Kansas City is stacked against the run, waiting for running back LaDainian Tomlinson to make a break for the end zone.

Instead, the Chargers fake it to L.T. and hook up with tight end Antonio Gates for a touchdown. Nobody saw the gutsy call coming, except you of course. You bet "pass" with Bodog Live and made money off of the +200 odds. And that's what playing Bodog Live football is all about, putting your money where your football knowledge is, and cashing in on the results.

Think your team will run on the next play? Believe the Titans' next drive will result in a touchdown? Don't think USC can make the game-winning field goal? You can bet on it all, just click the "Live" button beside any NFL or NCAA matchup in the Bodog Sportsbook and start putting your football skills to the test!

Any pigskin coach will tell you football is a chess match, and betting on football with Bodog Live is no different. Every move has a counter move, every situation calls for a certain play, and every team has a unique way of executing that play. That's why it's imperative that participants betting on Bodog Live become armchair-quarterbacks and analyze every bit of action as it happens.

Asking and answering questions like has the defense been successful versus the run? Are they in a two-minute drill? And has the running back been plowing through defenders? will paint a clearer picture of where to go with your live bets, and eventually put more dimes in your bank.

Bodog Live Football Tips

Every offensive coordinator is looking for 50/50 balance from their passing and running game to keep defenders guessing. But there aren't many teams that achieve this. That's why it's best to keep a close eye on the strengths of the team you're betting on before playing. Are they the kind of squad to run a draw on third and long, or maybe they air it out on first and ten?

Many football games come down to the final two minutes of regulation, usually forcing the quarterback to run the two-minute drill to get his team downfield quickly. The two-minute drill usually consists of a series of sideline passes all the way to the end zone, making bets on "pass" a profitable endeavor. And if you have a QB like Tom Brady running things, betting "pass complete" isn't a bad move either.

Pick your spots very carefully when using the "turnover" button. Although the payouts are usually enormous, the odds on picking it correctly every time is as likely as beating Devin Hester's 40 time.

Don't forget Bodog Live is doing nationally televised college football games all season long. And with the "option" running play such a big part of NCAA ball, betting on college can sometimes be easier than NFL games.
