Time needed: 6 minutes

Step by step guide to making your first NFL bet on FanDuel Sportsbook

1. Register at FanDuel Sportsbook

   Once you have clicked the Claim Offer button above, it is time to sign up for an account at FanDuel Sportsbook. Click the Join Now button at FanDuel to begin the registration process, at which point you will be asked to fill out a number of prompts so that FanDuel can verify your identity. Some of those pieces of information will be the following items:
   
   – Name
   – Email address
   – Physical address
   – Last four digits of SSN
   
   Bettors have to make sure that their information is accurate before they finalize their registration. Failure to do so will cause problems with a player’s account, including issues executing withdrawals of funds from the site.

2. Make Your First Deposit

   In order to bet on the NFL or any other sport at FanDuel Sportsbook, bettors must first fund their account. After creating an account and verifying their information at FanDuel, bettors can make their first deposit to satisfy that requirement. Bettors can use a massive number of deposit options to put money in their FanDuel accounts, with low minimums to satisfy the financial situations of just about every bettor.

3. Navigate to the NFL Section

   Now that you have put money into your FanDuel account, you can start betting on the NFL at FanDuel Sportsbook. Go to the NFL section of the site to get started, as that is where all of the NFL-related betting markets will be found. To access that section of the site, bettors can go to the menu of leagues at the top of the home screen of the FanDuel app, or they can go to the NFL section after selecting the All Sports menu.

4. Select Which Game You Want to Bet On

   Each week in the NFL, there are up to 16 games to bet on, with bettors able to wager on none of them, all of them, or some number in between. The next step for bettors is to decide which games they want to bet on in the FanDuel Sportsbook app. To wager on spreads, totals, and moneylines, bettors can just tap the bets they want to make right in the NFL home screen. For other betting markets, bettors can hit the More Wagers button on each game they are interested in betting on.

5. Choose a NFL Betting Market

   There are tons of betting markets available for each NFL game, as FanDuel offers more betting markets than most of their competition throughout the NFL season. It is up to bettors to look through all of the different betting markets available to decide what they want to bet on. Included in the list of betting markets for each NFL game will be the following bet types:
   – Moneylines: Betting simply on which team a bettor things will win each game
   – Point spreads: Betting on which team will have more points after a handicap is applied to one team’s score
   – Over/Under: Betting on whether the combined score in a game will go over or under the total set by a sportsbook
   – Prop bets: Bets that do not pertain to the score of a game, but rather small components of a game like player stats
   – Parlays: Combining two or more of the above bet types into one bet

6. Enter Your Bet Amount

   Once you have decided what you want to bet on in the NFL for a given week, the next step is to decide how much you want to bet on each wager you have selected. When you enter the amount you want to risk, you will see the potential payout for that bet, so you can decide whether you think that bet is worth making before locking it in. How much you stand to make depends on the odds for each bet and the amount you choose to risk.
   
   For example, an NFL bet at -110 odds means that bettors would have to wager $110 to make a $100 profit. Meanwhile, that same $110 bet on a wager with +200 odds would yield a $220 profit.

7. Double Check Everything Is Accurate

   Before you lock in your NFL bets at FanDuel Sportsbook, you will want to make sure that everything is accurate with your bets. This includes making sure that you have selected the side of each bet that you want to bet on, that the odds are what you want them to be, and that you are risking the amount that you want to risk. Once bets are placed, they are not refundable, so making sure that everything is accurate before you finalize a bet is imperative.

8. Finalize Your Bet

   If you have verified that every detail about your bet is accurate and to your liking, you can then click the Place Bet button on your betslip to finalize your NFL wager. After you have done this, you can look at your pending wagers and get cash out prices on eligible wagers as each NFL game transpires.
