Betting on the Chiefs in MO: A Step-by-Step Guide

Sports betting is arriving soon in Missouri, and whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned bettor in need of a refresher, it’s helpful to know what to look for before placing bets on the NFL, especially the Chiefs, a hometown favorite. With the launch set for December 1, 2025, use this guide as your playbook for making smarter bets.

Pick An App

The first thing you have to do before placing any NFL or Chiefs bets is to decide which sportsbook you want to use. Luckily for you, you can check out our Missouri betting apps page as well as individual brand reviews to figure out which operator(s) you want to go with.

If you plan on placing standard wagers like moneylines and spreads, the main difference between betting sites will be the odds of each market. If you want to dig a little deeper and place other types of bets like player props, doing your homework is worthwhile. Most sportsbooks will provide a variety of odds for the NFL season.

Choose Your Wager

Because NFL betting is by far the most popular option across the US, you'll find some of the most expansive markets for football compared to other sports. Here are some of the most common bet types:

Before placing any wager, whether it's on the Chiefs, another NFL team, or a different sport altogether, be sure you understand how that market works. Moneylines are the most straightforward bet there is, while spread betting can be confusing for some at first.

For beginners, it’s wise to approach parlays with caution. While the idea of turning $5 into $5,000 is tempting, parlays are designed to be tough to hit, and that’s why sportsbooks profit the most from them and promote them heavily.

When Missouri sports betting launches, you can bet futures such as the Chiefs playoff odds, Chiefs AFC Championship odds, Chiefs Super Bowl odds, and more.

Choose Your Wager Amount

This is arguably the most important part of the process. When sizing your bets, the key advice is to choose an amount you’re comfortable losing and stick to it. Before placing any bet, imagine the money is already gone. If that thought makes you uneasy or unsure, it’s a sign to lower your wager.

Many sportsbooks also offer responsible gambling tools, like personalized settings where you can preset your bet amount. That way, when you’re ready, all you have to do is hit "Place Bet," helping you stay in control and avoid overspending.
