Super Bowl XLIII Betting Strategy and Odds Update

Earlier this week we reported on the release of Sportsbook.com's odds for Super Bowl XLIII, as well as the fact that it is important to check the odds often and through more than one sportsbook.  
  As we inch closer to the Super Bowl on Feb. 1st it is important to watch what each Sportsbook is offering to maximize your winnings come game day.  To start, let's look at the odds for the upcoming games:

Sportsbook.com's current odds for AFC Championship:

Eagles (Philadelphia) -200

Cardinals (Arizona) +170

Current odds for NFC Championship:

Ravens (Baltimore) +210

Steelers (Pittsburgh) -250

The odds are no surprise for both AFC and NFC teams fighting for their chance to play on February 1st.  There is money to be made, however, on any team if you place your bets now for who will win the Super Bowl.  Our suggestion if you are ready to make an early start and place your bets for a Super Bowl Champion is to shop around at several Sportsbooks. This will show who has the best odds and thus leverage the greatest amount of money if you are to win.  Here is a comparison of two poplular Sportsbooks and their current odds for champions as of today:

Sportsbook.com: (1/16)

Eagles (Philadelphia) +175

Cardinals (Arizona) +500

Ravens (Baltimore) +350

Steelers (Pittsburgh) +150

Justbet.com: (1/16)

Eagles (Philadelphia) +180

Cardinals (Arizona) + 500

Ravens (Baltimore) +400

Steelers (Pittsburgh) +130

Simply comparing these two Sportsbook sites one can see that if you are ready to bet on the Eagles or the Ravens, your best bet is to go with Justbet.com.  If you are looking to drop money on the Steelers you should go with Sportsbook.com, and if you dare put money on the Cardinals your odds are the same at either Sportsbook.  This comparison shows the need to shop around and get the best return on your bets.  With dozens of Online Sportsbooks the variation in odds can be big.  Do your homework before putting down your hard earned cash and make sure to check back at readybetgo.com for the latest updates and strategies for betting on Super Bowl XLIII!
