Betting The Detroit Lions To Win The Super Bowl Could Make You Rich

NFL News - July 30th, 2009 - Written by Jimmy

In these economically hard times, it seems as though most every one is looking for a way out of debt. While not the most financially sound investment, or even reasonably sane for that matter, betting on the Detroit Lions to win Super Bowl XLIV could make you very rich.

Right now, there are several online sportsbooks currently taking NFL future bets. These are simply bets that allow football fans, and an avid followers, to place bets on their predictions. While there is money to be made by betting on the favorites, going with a big time underdog, such as the Detroit Lions, will return your investment, a hundred times over, provided they can win the NFL Championship.

You see, the Detroit Lions are huge underdogs coming into the 2009 NFL Season. During their 2008 campaign, the Lions failed to win a single game, on their 16 game schedule, en route to an 0-16 record. When you look at that, it isn't much wonder why Detroit is such a long shot.

The question still remains, how big of a long shot are the Lions? Well, looking at odds, posted by the oddsmakers, in Las Vegas, the 2009 Detroit Lions are currently at 100 to 1. Basically, bet $1 and earn $100, should Detroit go all the way. The more you risk, the more you win. It isn't likely to happen, but where else could you get a 10000% return, on your money?

Don't go bet the farm on Detroit. Though these lines are real, and can be bet on, it is more for entertainment purposes. The Lions do show hope for improvement, but the Super Bowl really isn't in the realm of expectations.
