We all enjoy watching the Pittsburgh Steelers, and for some fans, nothing beats the feeling of placing a few wagers while you watch. This has been possible domestically since sports betting laws were relaxed in recent times. However, sports punters have placed wagers on the Steelers internationally for a much longer period of time.

On that note, the best NFL bets that you can make on the Steelers are at your very fingertips. But do you know what these markets are and what time of year you should utilize them? Let us inform you right now.
Moneyline—Regular Season
The moneyline market is pretty much the most popular of all betting markets, no matter what sport you’re betting on. It’s the market that lets punters bet on one specific thing—the outcome of an individual event. Naturally, for games involving the Steelers, you can bet that they will beat the other team. But since the regular season is loaded with games on a weekly basis, it’s best to check out the moneyline market during the main season.
We say this due to the volume of matches available, and also because of the odds that can be snapped up when the Steelers go up against teams of a similar level. If you follow the Steelers closely, you’ll know that there are many teams that fit the bill in the American Football Conference.

Season Futures
If you find betting on the moneyline markets just a little too mundane, you can always push the boat out a little further and get more adventurous. As you’ve just found out, you can bet on the moneyline market at any time during the regular season and postseason. But what if there was a market that you could bet on that kept you interested in the wider picture? Well, there is, and these markets are known as futures.
Essentially, season futures give you a chance to bet on whether the Steelers will win the AFC or not. If you want to be even more specific, they focus on whether the Steelers will win the North division of the AFC. If you’re feeling particularly positive about the Steelers in any given season, you can even bet on them to win the Super Bowl.
Steelers Player Trades
Last but not least, we wanted to make you aware of a certain betting option that would be viewed as “specialized” betting. Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean that the markets are complex, it just means that these options aren’t what you’d consider to be standard markets. As you can see, the specialized markets that we advise tuning in for relate to player trades. That’s right, just like you can do for soccer transfers, you can also bet on what players might join the Steelers and what players might leave.

These markets are always a little speculative, as you can imagine, but they keep things interesting when betting on markets related to the Steelers.
