Definition of Safety Scored

What does the term "safety scored" mean in the world of football betting? What is meant by "safety scored" when it comes to betting on the NFL or any other football betting?

With the "safety scored" line, you are simply betting on whether or not there will be a safety scored during the game.

A "safety scored" line might look like this:

Safety Scored

Yes, 11.25
No, 1.055

The odds of the "yes" line paying off are quite long, while the "no" side has a very low payout.

In this case, a successful $100 bet on the "Yes" side would pay out a profit of over $1,000, while a successful "no" bet would pay out a profit of just over $5.
