Super Bowl 58: How to Bet the Spread
Super Bowl 58: How to Bet the Spread
It's finally Super Bowl Sunday as the Kansas City Chiefs vs San Francisco 49ers is just hours away from kicking off in Las Vegas.
There are so many ways you can bet on this game with a plethora of markets to choose from, but we're going to focus on betting the spread.
Before the Super Bowl kicks off, it's important to understand how betting the spread works and what the odds mean, if you didn't know already.
This guide will take you through all the latest new user betting promotions while also explaining how you can use them to bet the spread.
Super Bowl odds: Chiefs vs 49ers
Before we get into the offers, here are the latest odds on tonight's Super Bowl, including odds on the spread via DraftKings.
| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| San Francisco | -120 | -2 (-105) | Over 47.5 (-112) |
| Kansas City | +100 | +2 (-115) | Under 47.5 (-108) |
How does a spread bet work?
Betting the spread is slightly more complicated than a standard moneyline bet, where you simply pick who you think will win.
When you bet the spread, you are essentially choosing what the difference in the final scores will be. The negative number in the spread column shows the number of points the indicated team has to win for a wager to pay out.Â
Using the odds above, the 49ers have to win by two points or more for a spread bet to win. If you were to bet on the Chiefs, they would have to lose by fewer than 15 points or win the game for the bet to be successful.
With the odds on the 49ers to win by 2+ points currently at -105, a $5 wager would return a total of $9.76.
