If you’re looking to bet on players in the NFL, you need to know the betting rules. The first rule is that you must bet on the player who is scheduled to play at least one snap. If the player doesn’t play, your bet will be void.
The second rule is that you must bet on an NFL team that is playing in a particular week. The NFL and NCAA both use a Thursday-Wednesday scheduling week. In addition, you must bet on games that start with at least 5 minutes to play. If the game is over time, your bet is void.
You should never bet on a player who is suspended from the game. If you’re caught betting on a player, you will be in violation of NFL betting rules. You can also’t bet on a player’s performance in a game that is being played with a penalty. A player who’s suspended from the NFL is not eligible to play for a year.
While NFL gambling rules for players can be complicated, they’re generally straightforward. Players cannot place wagers on other sports than the NFL, including basketball and baseball. Those who bet on other sports can do so as long as they’re not involved in an illegal activity like fixing games. Besides the players, any other NFL personnel who bets must abide by the NFL’s gambling rules.
