Prop Bets<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n Proposition bets, or \u2018prop\u2019 bets as they\u2019re more commonly known, are, in essence, side wagers that do not affect the game\u2019s final outcome.<\/p>\n\n
\n The vast majority of markets offered by bookmakers on a single game can be considered prop bets. Point spread, moneyline and total points, however, aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n
\n Prop bets typically involve player stats. For example, you might fancy Derek Carr to throw over a certain number of yards in one game, or for Chris Olave to catch over a certain number of balls.<\/p>\n\n
\n However, bookies will also offer game props such as \u2018which team will score first?\u2019 and novelty props such as \u2018who will win the coin toss?\u2019. The possibilities are endless!<\/p>\n\n

Futures Bets<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n Futures bets<\/a> require plenty of patience as they\u2019re long-term bets. If you\u2019re looking for a quick buck, this isn\u2019t the route to go down.<\/p>\n\n\n With these bets, you\u2019re banking on something to occur in the future. For example, you might fancy the New Orleans Saints to win an unlikely Super Bowl before the season gets underway. Perhaps Derek Carr is in line for his first MVP award? Such bets are common in pre-season as this is where the most value can be extracted.<\/p>\n\n
Where To Bet on Local Louisiana Teams<\/h2>\n \n\n \n Louisiana simply isn\u2019t a major sporting state, but its biggest city, New Orleans, possesses fervent supporters of two major franchises: the Saints (NFL) and Pelicans (NBA).<\/p>\n\n
\n The Saints enjoyed their fair share of success with Drew Brees at quarterback, winning the Super Bowl in 2010, which emerged as one of the heartfelt stories in American sports in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Brees, along with Sean Payton, helped New Orleanians believe again.<\/p>\n\n
