Definition of Division Finishing Position
What does the term "division finishing position" mean in the world of football betting? What is meant by "division finishing position"?
When you bet on "division finishing position", you are betting on where a team will finish in their division - 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th.
So, let's look at an example - the Arizona Cardinals, who are expected to be quite terrible heading into the 2023 season. As expected, the odds of the Cardinals finishing 4th have the lowest payout:
1st Position in Division, +2500
2nd Position in Division, +1000
3rd Position in Division, +500
4th Position in Division, -265
As you can see, the Cardinals are overwhelming favorites to finish last in their division.
