what is an octopus bet in football

Betting is mainly enjoyed for the 'rush' it gives us. There are many types of betting and sports betting is one of the most anticipated betting out there. Octopus betting is a relatively new sort of betting that came into being very recently. In this article, we will examine how octopus betting works, how to 'actually' place such a bet, and some tips for a safe bet.

Overview: Octopus Betting

When a football player scores a touchdown(six points) and then a two-point conversion (two points), a total of 8 points are scored, thus an octopus. All these eight points are to be made by the same player, so betting is introduced. This was originally coined by Mitch Goldich, a sports writer in 'Sports Illustrated'.

As with betting online, the most popular US sports betting apps and sites assign the lowest odds to the option that they think is likely to happen. Here, the least likely outcome is assigned as "longest odds", in other words, the option where there is a low chance of winning. A simple example would be "Will there be an octopus tonight?" - YES or NO? Several sites help predict the percentage of chances for the odds of it happening and not.

How it works

Sports betting is made easy by US sportsbooks to place bets online. All you have to do is sign up, deposit an amount, bet on an octopus betting market, and watch the game.
