Why NFL bettors need DraftKings

Wide selection of NFL markets

Market variety is one of the most appealing qualities of any sportsbook – and when it comes to NFL betting, you'll have a hard time finding a stronger offering than DraftKings'.

In addition to covering off all of the major futures and standard single-game markets, DK provides these NFL betting opportunities (and this is only a partial list):

• A dozen "Team Specials" markets per NFL franchise, with most centered around player or team milestones (with the odd two-outcome parlay thrown in, of course)
• Division-specific leaderboards (for example, which player will finish with the most receiving yards in the NFC East, or who will lead the AFC South in passing touchdowns)
• A section titled "Will History Repeat Itself?", in which bettors can wager on whether some of the more incredible (Travis Kelce's 4 receiving TDs in a game) or bizarre happenings (Derrick Henry's passing touchdown) from the 2022 season will occur again in 2023.
• A collection of markets labeled "Dominance", in which notable players are given odds on how they'll fare vs. division rivals (for example, Jalen Hurts' total TDs vs. Washington)

The level of creativity behind DraftKings' NFL markets is commendable, and should keep bettors of all skill and interest levels captivated throughout the season.

Microbetting options

While it might one day be a fixture of every major sportsbook in the U.S., DraftKings enters the 2023 NFL season as one of only two big-name sports betting sites to offer microbetting.

These markets are focused on the results of individual plays or drives, allowing for those who love in-game NFL betting to maximize their participation in the game. Will the next play be a run or a pass? What will be the result of the next drive? Will we see a field goal attempt, a punt, or a different fourth-down play? DraftKings lets you wager on all three, all game long.

Microbetting might not be for everyone, but being one of the first sportsbooks in the country to offer it on a large scale gives DraftKings a significant edge – especially when you consider that live betting in general represents a steadily growing share of the total in-season NFL handle.

Strong user interface

Having a great interface is important for a multitude reasons. New and casual bettors need to be able to find their way around easily, or they'll go somewhere else. More experienced players rely on easily navigating between screens and quickly placing their bets.

DraftKings appeals to all bettors with a slick interface for both mobile and desktop, allowing players to switch menus and markets instantly while making it easy for bettors to find the bets they're looking for. It offers a refreshingly simple layout, and the black, grey, white and green color palate is the perfect combination for a sportsbook.

Add in the fact that you're never more than two clicks away from just about any area of the sportsbook, and DraftKings has clearly scored a touchdown when it comes to the layout and responsiveness of its online offering.
