What is the USFL about?
The USFL is an American professional football league that has 10 teams competing against each other in two divisions to decide the league champion.
The USFL season takes place in the late spring and early summer and is another great way to bet on American football outside of the NFL.
How Does the USFL work?
There are many different ways to bet on the USFL, however the three most common wagers are the moneyline, point spread and total.
The moneyline is the same as any sport, involving the bettor placing a wager on which team they think will win.
The point spread, meanwhile, is a number given by the sportsbook and involves how much a bettor thinks a team will win or lose by, while the total is the combined total number of points both teams will score in the game.
Betting Strategy
There are a few different strategies bettors can employ to get the most out of their bet.
The first strategy would be to look at how teams are playing recently. Teams, and players for that matter, who have been playing well and are on a winning streak are likely to use that momentum to continue playing well while teams in a slump may struggle.
It’s also important to keep track of injuries on a team, as if a team is without their star player, it’s unlikely it will play or perform as well as it typically would have if with them.
Finally, looking at the history between two teams can also help. How teams have played against each other in the past can not only inform bettors for their moneyline bets, but point spreads and totals as well, as teams may do very well or poorly against some teams that could affect the total.
Prop Bets
Prop bets are another option for betting on the USFL and can boost the entertainment value of the game.
Prop bets are wagers on player performances or events that will happen in the game, such as what kind of stats a player will record, what will be the first score of the game, or who will score first.
