Super Bowl XLVII is only a couple of weeks away. But first, if you're Tom Brady, Joe Flacco, Colin Kaepernick or Matt Ryan you have another game to play and win. Likewise, us sports fans and punters, have another week of betting opportunities to thrive on! NFC Championship Game The San Francisco 49ers will travel to Atlanta to face the Falcons on Sunday, 20:00 ET (22:00 UK time). The Falcons won a dramatic game against Seattle and will host another home game on Sunday. They are #1 seeds but not necessarily favorites against the Niners. This is expected to go down to the wire. San Francisco is favorites to win. The Spread at William Hill has Atlanta +3.5 AFC Championship Game The Baltimore Ravens will visit Foxborough to face the New England Patriots on Sunday, 18:30 ET (23:30 UK time). The Ravens have posed difficulties for the Pats in recent years, and many in New England wished they did not have to meet them on their way to a 4th Championship since 2001. The Ravens last won a championship in 2000, and Ray Lewis would like nothing more than to win one more before he hangs 'em up. New England is favorites to win. The Spread at William Hill has Baltimore +8.5 Spread Betting Explained By far the most popular form of sports betting on the NFL is spread betting. This has been made clear this season with the popularity of William hill and other sportsbooks who offered such options, and has "spread" to water-cooler conversations and all the way to sports podcasts. This is not a Vegas-thing only, and can be done right now, right here. A 3.5 spread, as in the 49ers-Falcons game, means the bookmaker has set the likely win margin at 3.5 points. For example, a 24-20 score will be above the spread, while 38-35 will be just under the spread. The favorite team is a "minus" in the spread, and the underdog must cut the end result to under the spread. The underdog does not need to win, but only "beat the spread" by a half point for your bet to succeed. It also makes the task of the favorite more difficult, as it is not only supposed to win, but rather to win by a certain margin. Place Your Bets Now William Hill Sports is currently entertaining bets on Super Bowl Outright, Conference Winners, Money Line, Match Spread, Total Points, Winning Margins, Double Result, 1st Half Spread, 1st Half Total Points and 50 other markets!

The brains behind William Hill Online's Cash In My Bet promo knew what they were doing when they launched the Cash in my Bet promo last year, but didn't realize how much cash it would earn punters. Records broken Last weekend saw Hill pass the £2 million mark in cashed in bets since it launched the promo in mid-December. Although the FA Cup third round threw out a number of surprise results, many punters had the foresight to cash out their bets early, forcing the bookie to pay out nearly £450,000 over two days. From a sports betting perspective, the Cash In My Bet promo was launched during the busiest period in the annual football calendar, when punters can place on a variety of games across the English Premier League, FA Cup, Spanish La Liga and other leagues. How Cash in my Bet Works Say you place $/£5 on a multiplier on this week's Premier League matches of Arsenal to beat Chelsea (10/3), Tottenham to beat Man Utd (15/8), and Southampton to beat Everton (12/5). The first two games kick off Sunday, and Spurs and Gunners win. You hesitate about Southampton on Monday, and cash in your bet for $/£31. When you think about cashing in just go to the "Open Bets" tab and details of your best will appear. As each leg of your accumulator wins, your cash in value will increase. If the "Cash In" facility is active on the market/game you bet on, then all you need to do is click it to take your early winnings.
