Super Bowl 44 Predictions

by Matt Foust on Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Super Bowl 44 Predictions: No other sporting event offers bettors the variety of wagering opportunities that the Super Bowl does, and one opportunity, which is not that uncommon but seldom seen during the regular season, is the double result bet. A double result bet allows football fans to place a wager on the halftime winner and game winner in combination to, possibly, secure a greater return on their investment. While this type of bet has more risk to it as the number of potential outcomes is greater, it can sometimes be more appealing than a straight moneyline wager with much shorter odds. Online bookmaker BetUS.com has posted a Double Result bet in their Super Bowl 44 Predictions and a Colts – Colts finish is presently listed as the favored result at -150 moneyline odds.Super Bowl 44 Predictions

When considering the Colts – Colts option, it would probably make good sense to go back and see just how often Indy led both at halftime and the end of regulation this year. Indianapolis would have, in fact, gone 10-6 in this spot during the regular season as the Colts led at halftime and the end of regulation 10 times. On one occasion (week two against Miami) they were tied at halftime and won the game, on another occasion they were leading at halftime and lost the game (week 16 against New York), on another occasion they were losing at haltime and lost the game (season finale against Buffalo), and on three occasions they trailed at halftime and won the game.  

The Saints – Saints double result option is the second most favored result at +375 odds. How would New Orleans backers have fared going this route during the regular season? They would have won nine times and lost seven. On two occasions the Saints trailed at halftime and the end of regulation, on two occasions the Saints trailed at halftime and ended up winning the game, on two occasions the Saints were tied at halftime and won the game, and on one occasion the Saints were winning at halftime and lost the game (week 16 against Tampa Bay).

The double result option with the greatest possible return is the Tie – Tie scenario at +4000 odds (Note: A double result bet does not include overtime). The 40 to 1 return is not an accident as this happened exactly two times (Week 1 Titans at Steelers, Week 13 Saints at Redskins) this season in 256 games played.
