When a team scores a touchdown, they have the option to score an additional one or two points. An octopus in football occurs when a player scores a touchdown for six points and scores the subsequent two-point conversion for a total of eight points.<\/strong> The two-point conversion begins with the ball on the two-yard line, and a team is awarded two points if they can cross the goal line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sportsbooks now offer an octopus prop bet<\/a> in games. This could be a general \u201cyes or no\u201d prop bet on any octopus scored in a game, or an individual prop bet on whether a specific player will tally an octopus in a game.<\/p>\n\n\n
