Betting on the Chiefs in MO: A Step-by-Step Guide
If you're brand new to betting or could use a refresher, I'll lay out exactly what to look for prior to placing your first bet on the Chiefs.
Pick An App
The first thing you have to do prior to placing any Chiefs bet is to decide which sportsbook you want to use. Luckily for you, you can check out our Missouri betting apps page as well as individual brand reviews to figure out which operator(s) you want to go with.
If you're planning on placing standard wagers like moneylines and spreads, the main difference between betting sites will be the odds of each market. If you want to dig a little deeper and place other types of bets like player props, it's worthwhile to do your homework.
Choose Your Wager
Because NFL betting is by far the most popular option across the US, you'll find some of the most expansive markets for football compared to other sports. Here are some of the most common bet types:
- Moneyline
- Spread
- Totals
- Parlays
- Prop bets
- Live betting
Prior to placing any wager, whether it's on the Chiefs or a different sport altogether, be sure you understand how that market works. Moneylines are the most straightforward bet there is while spread betting can be confusing for some at first.
I also suggest proceeding with caution with parlays for beginners. While everyone would love to turn $5 into $5,000, there's a reason why parlays make the most money for sportsbooks and why they are marketed heavily.
Choose Your Wager Amount
This is arguably the most important part of the process. My main piece of advice when it comes to sizing your bets is to pick an amount you're fine with losing and stick to that. Anytime you go to place a bet, imagine that bet has already lost and that money is gone. If that makes you uncomfortable or you're unsure if you should do it, then you need to lower your wager amount.
Several sportsbooks offer personalization to where you can preset your bet amount so all you have to do is hit "Place Bet".
