No sport in America is bet on more than the National Football League. The NFL is the king of sports television ratings and the 800-pound gorilla of sports betting. Most individuals will bet modest amounts of money on a few games each week and make a couple of bets on their favorite team to win the division or maybe even make the Super Bowl. Some bets that come in though are much larger.
Betting within your means is essential, and these people may very well be doing just that, but the thought of plopping down $25,000 on a futures bet is enough to make me queasy.
