Betting on NFL Draft is a bit unique since this is not betting on an actual NFL game, but the process remains the same. You are still going to go through the same process as usual when looking to bet on the NFL Draft, and everything is going to work exactly the same.
The first step is to get signed up for an account at BetUS Sportsbook and then make a deposit so that you have some money to wager with. From there, you are really open to making any bet that you want, and there will be a long list of options available to you.
Even though the NFL odds for the draft are going to look a bit different every year, there are some types of bets that will usually be available. It’s easier to explain how to bet on NFL Draft by using examples, and some of the best examples can be found below.
Number 1 Draft Pick
The most common NFL Draft prop betting option that you’ll see is a bet on the eventual number 1 draft pick. This is actually pretty similar to a futures bet because those odds are going to be available months before that pick is actually announced.
When you are looking to make a bet on which player will eventually be the number 1 draft pick, there will be a long list of odds available to you. All you have to do is bet on the player that you think will be selected first overall, and then collect your winnings if you make the right selection.
NFL Draft odds for this type of bet are going to be changing constantly, especially if there are trades or late-breaking news.
Conference Leader
A great example of an NFL Draft prop bet is a wager on which conference will have the most first-round selections. There is a sense of pride and bragging rights are on the line as conferences look to send the most players to the league.
This is another bet in which the odds are going to resemble a futures bet because most of the options will have favorable odds. There will only be a handful of options with this type of NFL Draft prop bet though as the smaller conferences aren’t going to even be considered.
A similar prop bet to this one is betting on the position that will have the most first-round draft picks.
Head to Head
If you are looking for an NFL Draft prop that is similar to traditional betting then a head-to-head bet is what you need to search for. This is a prop bet that closely resembles moneyline betting as you are just picking between two options.
This is a bet that will come with plenty of options and you will usually see the same players offered several times. Depending on the “matchup” that is created from BetUS, you could be looking at some pretty favorable betting odds as well.
Correct Draft Order
Another great NFL Draft prop betting option is to pick the correct draft order for a set number of picks. This is similar to parlay betting with traditional wagering as you are going to have to hit all of the best for the wager to be successful.
When betting on the correct draft order, you not only have to pick the order correctly, but you will also have to pick the correct teams. The NFL Draft usually has plenty of twists and turns, and this can be extremely difficult to do.
Most of the NFL Draft require you to just get one bet correct, but this one is a bit more advanced.
