I don't gamble a lot on sports but aren't prop bets generally considered sucker bets? I know they're fun but I thought they gave lower odds than just making standard bets (i.e. betting on the spread or over/under, etc.)

Pretty much the exact opposite of the truth...
It's nigh impossible to grind out a profit on totals and sides in the NFL... But there are guys who KILL props and have been doing it for a while now. Word is they post up a lot of these picks in a certain thread over in the FFA. Prob some of the sharpest football (and other sport) prognosticators on these forums....

I am sure Dodds will have some money on a defensive touchdown by either team regardless of the odds.

holy smokes your bookie is ripping you off
i see:
Blount +2300
Collins +12500
Mccourty +25000
I'm liking Ovechkin's shots on goal to be higher than Doug Baldwin's reception total
Also like Julian Edelman's receiving yards to be over Tiger Woods day 1 score at the Masters
And the lock of the night is for Kraft to be shown more on TV than Paul Allen
Others I like:
Giselle shown on TV OVER 1 1/2 times
Belichick's hoodie type: Sleeves cut
Katy Perry mentioned OVER 2 times during the first half
"Deflate" said OVER 3 times

I like Blount (62½) & Gronk (74½) to go over their yards, the middle is where Pats will be forced to go.

9/1 is pretty fair..
• Pats don't score much on the ground (13 during reg season, though 4 in postseason)
• Seattle doesn't allow many on the ground (8 during reg season : 0 in the postseason so far)

I always wondered how they prevent someone (who is in the "in") from making a fairly large bet on this type of prop

Me too! I never understood why that couldn't happen. I wonder if gatorade has to keep it on lockdown.
Or what song Katy Perry starts with.... isn't there a lot of people who will know the routine before the game?

I've also wondered this - for a number of the prop bets. You can bet on the 1st song Katy Perry will sing, what she will be wearing, etc.
There are absolutely people that have this information, and I would think more than a few. Even if they sign some kind of agreement, what's to stop them from telling a friend to put $100,000 down?

from what I see on certain prop bets the limit is fairly low.
Cant go bet 5 million on whether or not the first play is a run or pass

Yeah I understand that but couldn't you have a fairly large group of people make different sized bets to spread it out? I know we're not talking about millions here but it still could be a substantial amount of money if it's planned out right.from what I see on certain prop bets the limit is fairly low.

)The time it would take you to plan and coordinate it all out isnt worth it. Just go work those extra hours at your job and probably make more.
Besides whats the point. That large group of people will get the money. Not like they will give it all to you.
Plus the bookie could pay someone off on gameday to change the outcome on the prop if they stand to lose a lot of money on it
