Markets galore ahead of Super Bowl

Sunday evening sees one of the biggest sporting events of the year, as the Super Bowl gets underway in New Orleans. The NFL's biggest game traditionally provides a wealth of betting options for punters, and this year's meeting between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers looks set to be no different.

For many the MVP race is the obvious thing to bet on, and a quarterback is the obvious player to pick. As we expect San Francisco to win, opting for their QB Colin Kaepernick at 13/10 with bet365 seems to have potential for a reasonable return.

Elsewhere, tight-end Dennis Pitta to take the Ravens' first reception of the game intrigues at 16/5 with bet365.

If you are feeling really lucky, however, then why not have a tip on the game going to overtime? The odds are against it - but at 33/4 with bet365 a successful punt on some extra action could prove a nice little earner.
