One of the biggest misconceptions about professional gamblers is that they are all top-notch handicappers. They aren’t. But they do one thing far better than the average bettor. They know how to shop for lines.
Getting the best available nfl betting lines can often make the difference between a winning season and a losing one. Those who bet for a living are quick to acknowledge that fact. If you want to see the value in shopping for lines, look no farther than the NFL futures market for odds to win the 2009 Super Bowl.

A number of smart bettors will typically avoid placing futures bets, as the house typically has an estimated 30- to 50-percent advantage over bettors. But for those willing to shop for the best odds, those percentages can be drastically reduced.

What we’ll do here is look at the odds to win the 2009 Super Bowl from four we–known sportsbooks - Bodog, Intertops and Sportsbook.com.

The NFL officially notified its players union on Tuesday that it will opt out of the current collective bargaining agreement, which could lead to a season without a salary cap in 2010 and a possible lockout in 2011.
