As the NFL playoffs begin this weekend, cryptocurrency sportsbook Cloudbet has observed an
interesting trend: bettors are placing wagers on the Detroit Lions
at levels comparable to those typically seen for past champions
like the Kansas City Chiefs. The Lions, who concluded the regular
season with a strong 15-2 record, have shifted from being
longstanding underdogs to emerging as serious championship
contenders.
"The betting patterns this year tell the story of
Detroit's rise," says a Cloudbet spokesperson. "We're seeing equal
betting volume on the Lions and Chiefs to win the Super Bowl –
something that would have been unthinkable just a couple of seasons
ago."
The sportsbook has set no limits on bets on major markets for
the playoffs and the Super Bowl. Another draw this year,
particularly for the Super Bowl, will be the range of proposition
bets – over 400 in total. These range from traditional player
statistics like passing yards and receptions to more unusual
wagers, such as the length of the national anthem and the color of
the celebratory Gatorade shower.
In the immediate future, this weekend's Rams-Vikings wild card
game has emerged as the most evenly contested matchup in terms
of betting action. Minnesota Vikings made NFL history as the first
wild-card team with 14 wins in a season, while the Rams previously
defeated the Vikings in Week 8, being one of only two teams to beat
Minnesota this season.
Cloudbet has also introduced a novel "Chiefs vs. The Field"
betting market, letting customers either back Kansas City's playoff
experience or bet on any other team to win the championship. The
sportsbook reports increasing activity in futures markets,
particularly around season awards, suggesting more sophisticated
bettors are taking longer-term positions as the regular season
wraps up.
"The NFL playoffs are a different beast when it comes
to betting – what you're seeing right now with these 60-1 odds
won't last,” adds a Cloudbet spokesperson, “We've got four straight
days of Wild Card action starting Saturday, and in playoff
football, the early bird doesn't just get the worm, they get
significantly better value. A $100 bet today could pay out $6,000,
but those same odds will likely shrink as we get closer to kickoff.
Smart money moves early, especially in the
postseason."
