NFL Futures and Ante Post markets explained         

Super Bowl winner betting is by far the most popular NFL futures betting market.  Futures markets, also called Ante Post markets, are those that involve a wager that is contingent on a result to be determined well into the future, usually over the course of an entire season or playoff tournament, rather than a single game.  In general, the highest paying odds for Ante Post and futures betting markets will come before the season begins.  As the NFL season progresses, the odds will tighten and pay less for those teams at the top of the standings in the regular season.  Odds will become even lower as teams are eliminated from the playoffs and fewer teams remain in position to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Examples of Super Bowl odds expressed in American, Decimal and Fractional formats

For American odds format, given the number of teams with a chance to win the Super Bowl and the format of the playoffs, the odds will almost always be a positive figure, meaning above even-money.  This means you might see odds of +250 on New England to win outright.  This odds price is expressing that if you were to bet $100, your potential profit would be $250 for a total potential return of $350.

With Decimal odds format, know that the odds express the full amount that would be returned on your successful wager including the stake amount.  For this, simply multiply the Decimal odds by the stake. For example, if Seattle is listed at 5.75 to win the Super Bowl, a $100 bet would return a total of $575 including your stake, so the potential profit would be $475. 

For Fractional format, the odds express the amount of potential profit that will be returned on a wager.  For example, with a wager of $100 and odds of 12/1 on Buffalo to win outright (said 12 to 1), one could see a profit of $1,200 (12 divided by 1, multiplied by $100) plus the stake amount for a total potential return of $1,300.
