Costigan Media in the News

New York Giants vs. New England Patriots Super Bowl betting odds can be found at all of Gambling911.com's most prestigious online sportsbooks. But there are some important things one needs to know when betting the 2008 Super Bowl online.

1. Check for value. Some online sportsbooks will have a different line on the Super Bowl and even a half point can make all the difference in the world if the game falls on a specific number.

2. Don't just bet the game. Look for the best New York Giants vs New England Patriots Super Bowl propositions, such as odds on who will get the first touchdown and first team to have an interception. This is also a time for funny props such as the one that we mentioned on Fox News two years ago: Will the Burger King score a touchdown (yep, odds on a Burger King commercial). Because there are so many propositions available, the gambler has the advantage over the bookie who can't possibly focus on all that is out there in terms of betting options.

3. Get your bets in early! Don't wait until Super Bowl day. You will encounter difficulty accessing some websites. It is the busiest single betting day on the planet.

4. Don't limit yourself to just online online gambling website, open accounts at two, three, even four in order to take full advantage of top signup/deposit bonuses.

Below you will find each of the Gambling911.com Endorsed sportsbooks and what they have to offer our readers in terms of 2008 Super Bowl bonuses (and New York Giants vs. New England Patriots Super Bowl betting odds).

Bookmaker.com is offering a huge variety of betting propositions. This is the largest North American facing sportsbook on the Web in terms of overall volume bet. They cater to both recreational players and professionals.

Bodog - This outfit may well be the most famous of all the online gambling websites. Bodog offers a 10% signup bonus for sports and a 110% bonus for its poker room (one of the best in the biz).

Proposition bets are offered on just about everything imaginable. The important thing to stress about Bodog is their user-friendly website and the fact that we are finding their line has been off from other books offering betting odds on the Giants vs. Patriots in this year's Super Bowl.

BetUS.com - This company has been in business for over 12 years now and offers up to a 50% signup bonus depending on how much is deposited (obviously, you'll need to deposit a few thousand to get the 50% back into your account). A $300 to $499 deposit will get Gambling911.com readers 20% of that back while a $500 to $999 deposit will get back 25% (or $250 for a $999 deposit). A $1000 deposit would mean Gambling911.com readers get back $350 into their accounts. Some other offerings include:

WR Props - 4 open events

BetOnline - We've known these folks for nearly 10 years now, even though it might not seem so long. Betonline (formerly Best Line Sports) is the second oldest tenured online gambling company listed at Gambling911.com (after Bodog). This fact instills confidence in Gambling911.com readers for sure.

They are offering a 10% signup bonus when readers select to bet reduced juice. What does this mean? Instead of having to lay $1.10 on the Patriots to win $1.00, you only have to lay $1.05 to win $1.00. The savings (especially over an entire betting season like College Basketball) is enormous! You can also opt for free play bonuses up to 45% depending on the amount of your deposit. *Hot tip: BetOnline still had the Giants at +12 at press time January 25, 2008.

betED.com - This company has really made a name for itself in recent years and has enjoyed an excellent relationship with Gambling911.com over that time. They are offering a 50% signup bonus so show them some love. Plenty of 2008 Super Bowl props as well.

Big Juicy Odds This is a relatively new sportsbook which offers......drum roll please....a 10% signup bonus and -103 juice! BJO offers an alternative place to play for those who might already have accounts with the bigger more established names in the biz. They do cater to all size players.

Other alternative sportsbooks include:
