The Super Bowl 2022 is the number one day in America for sports betting, as bettors have access to a massive menu of betting markets. And many bettors choose to get involved with all of those markets via parlay betting. Here, we look into why some bettors prefer Super Bowl parlays and what a successful Super Bowl Parlay could look like for the upcoming season. See all Parlay Picks or our Parlay Calculator
Why Place a Super Bowl Parlay
The number one reason that bettors place parlays for the Super Bowl is the fact that they can boost the profits that a bettor makes if all of their selections are accurate. This is true throughout the football season and with sports betting in general. But the influx of more casual bettors during Super Bowl week results in parlays being made left and right by bettors looking to earn a significant payout.
Another reason bettors gravitate toward Super Bowl parlays is the fact that there are so many more prop markets available to parlay than in a regular game. Bettors can wager on the statistical performances of everyone from star players to seldom-used members of each team, which is not possible in the regular season in most instances. Those additional opportunities present additional chances for value bets to be combined into a multi-leg affair.
Successful Parlays From Last Super Bowl
There were several successful parlay combinations from the last Super Bowl, with most of those parlays surrounding the quality defense of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs covered the spread easily when they beat the Chiefs 31-9 in the game, stifling Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ offense in the process. As a result, parlays that combined the Bucs winning the game with the under in Mahomes’ stats won resoundingly in many instances.
The other main way bettors cashed parlays in the last Super Bowl was through a combination of the Bucs winning and the offensive performances of several Tampa Bay players. Rob Gronkowski and Antonio Brown, for example, each scored touchdowns that they may not have been expected to score. Parlaying those players to score with the Bucs to win would have yielded significant profits for bettors.
What a Future Super Bowl Parlay 2022 Might Look Like
In future Super Bowls, correlated parlays between the result of the game and the statistical performances of individual players will likely be successful again. If a bettor believes that a more offensively gifted team is going to win the Super Bowl, they should bet on that team’s players to go over their prop numbers with them. Or if a team usually wins with its defense, a bettor should go with prop unders to match that style of play.
Of course, without knowing which teams are going to take part in the game, it is hard to tell exactly what types of parlays have the best chances of winning. But bettors who can match the result of the game to statistical outputs that match the style of the winning team will have the best chance to earn money when placing parlays in the biggest game of the NFL season.
