Super Bowl 44: Consider Betting These Other ATS Lines

Game-day: 2/7/2010

Kick-off: 6:25 pm EST

I love the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl 44. I’ve laid out the reasons almost ad nauseam since the Saints beat the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship Game. But, just as a refresher, and before we get to the nitty gritty involving some of the other ATS lines in the mother of all sports gambling games, here are the reasons yet again why I like the New Orleans Saints:

New Orleans has the 6th ranked rushing attack in the NFL. The Colts have the 32nd ranked rushing attack in the NFL.

The Saints have outscored their opponents in the game after their 2 bye weeks this season 93 to 41. The Colts have outscored their opponents in the game after their 2 bye weeks this season 66 to 9, but the team they played after their regular season bye week was the St. Louis Rams. So, I don’t count that game.

The New Orleans Saints’ defense picked the ball off 26 times during the regular season. The Indianapolis Colts picked the ball off 16 times during the regular season.

Now we can get down to what’s really important in this article, which other ATS betting lines will I be wagering on and how much will I be wagering?

First, the bankroll please! $160. That’s the amount of money that I will be wagering on the other three ATS lines below. Check out how much I will be wagering on each bet.

Bet #1: New Orleans -7 ½ +500 = $50

Bet #2: New Orleans -10 ½ +700 = $50

Bet #3: New Orleans +3 ½ +120 = $60

Bet #1 Reasoning: A $250 profit off of a $50 investment is very, very nice. If the Saints beat the Colts by at least 8 points, then I get $250 and my initial investment of $50 back. That’s $300. If I miss the -10 ½ point wager, then I’ve still made a profit of $190 bucks. $50 investment on Bet #2 and $60 investment on Bet #3 equals $110. $300 – $110 equals a profit of $190. Not bad.

Bet #2 Reasoning: If I hit the Saints -10 ½ at +700 over the Colts in Super Bowl 44, then it will mean that I have also hit the Saints at -7 ½ +500. My $50 investment would yield $350 in this case. So, $350 + $250 = $600. Don’t forget that I get my investment back. So, that’s another $100. I’m up to $700. What will I have lost in this scenario? $60 on my saver bet.

Bet #3 Reasoning: By saver bet, I mean a wager that I hope to lose but should I win would will cut my overall loses. I truly, truly believe in the Saints this Sunday. So, there’s no need for me to take more than 3 ½ points. That’s a field goal, which is what I believe the Colts will win by if they do win Super Bowl 44. If I win the saver bet, I cash out with $72 in profit and $60 in my initial investment. So, my total cash out in this scenario would be $132. I would lose $28 overall of my total $160 investment in this scenario.

Any loss isn’t fun, but losing $28 isn’t nearly as bad as losing $160. Hence, the saver bet! This is how I’m going to bet the other ATS lines for Super Bowl 44. Sports gamblers who like the Colts would just need to find different ATS lines for Indy that could produce the same type of results.
