NFL Preseason Online Betting - Football Picks
For 2025, the NFL will repeat its shortened preseason schedule of the Hall of Fame Game, followed by three full weeks of action. In the 2020 pandemic season, the NFL learned something that many other observers have believed for decades: There is no need for the preseason. That year, the NFL went straight to the regular season, and nobody could tell the difference. But the preseason brings extra revenue to the NFL clubs from TV revenue, ticket sales, and stadium dates. Thus, the preseason goes on.
One change that began in 2021 was reducing the preseason schedule to three full weeks. The fourth preseason week became an extra week for the regular season.
Teams strive not to expose their key players to potential injury in the preseason. Rookies and free agents get most of the playing time, trying to earn roster spots. And new coaches will use the preseason to implement their systems and cultures.
From a gambling perspective, preseason is a handicapping challenge. Gamblers must do their due diligence regarding what the lineups and playing time are expected to be. And even then, it’s a crapshoot. In recent years, live betting has become highly popular in the preseason. With that method of wagering, gamblers get real-time updates on game developments and lineup changes.

NFL Hall of Fame Game
THURSDAY, JULY 31
Los Angeles Chargers vs. Detroit Lions -1, 33
The NFL Hall of Fame Game is the one tradition of the preseason. Each year in Canton, Ohio, home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the NFL preseason kicks off with its first game in conjunction with the Hall of Fame inductions for that year. Although it is an exhibition game with plenty of substitutions and players nobody has ever heard of, the Hall of Fame Game easily generates good TV viewership. The best evidence of the Hall of Fame Game’s value is that NBC will televise it in prime time, as per usual. The game is also seen as a landmark event that signifies it is time to prepare for the football season.

Betting Rules & Policies
Free Play Rules
- Free plays cannot be used on proposition bets.
- Free Plays do not earn any BetPoints™
- Bets made using Free Plays do not count towards completing any rollovers. (Free Plays are always subject to a rollover of their own. You must complete the required rollover prior to making a withdrawal).
- The maximum payout for any Free Play is $5,000.
- Free Plays that are left unused for 180 days will be removed from your account.
ROLLOVER
- Did you know that on all deposits made at BookMaker, there is a rollover requirement: an amount of betting action you must fulfill before you are eligible to make a withdrawal.
- Did you know that rollovers are calculated by multiplying the amount initially credited to your account a certain number of times? Yes! If you deposit without claiming any bonus, the rollover will always be 1x (one-time) your deposit amount. If you do claim a deposit bonus, the rollover will be higher and is based on the deposit plus bonus amount.
Wager disputes (claims)
If you disagree with any aspect of a wager you’ve placed, you are welcome to log an official dispute (commonly known as a “claim”). Claims must be reported no later than 15 (fifteen) calendar days following the settlement of the wager.
If following an initial review of the case there remains any doubt regarding the wager type, line, market, amount, or any other detail, the claim will be escalated to the BookMaker management team. All decisions made by them are final.
Wager Cash Out - How it works
With the Cash Out feature you can choose to eliminate a wager that's already been placed, and receive back either a portion, or your full stake amount.
Cash Out is selectively available on certain events, fixtures, and markets.
In order to see if a wager is eligible to be cashed out, simply navigate to your Bet Slip and check the 'My Open Bets' tab. If eligible, the Cash Out button will be displayed.
It’s also important to note that Cash Out is not contributing to any bonus or promotion including Bet Point accumulation and Rollover for releasing bonus cash.
