College Football Betting Tips
Sports bettors must understand, first and foremost, that successful college football handicapping requires a substantial amount of "homework" and a systematic approach to betting and money management. Profitable football betting has its price and if you're not willing to pay it, stick with the office pools and stay away from the online sports books.
Good, now that you've decided you have what it takes to bet and win on college football, we'll show you some of the things you'll need to know to make better picks and win more money this season.
One Game Does Not A Season Make
Alway approach football betting in terms of an entire season or seasons. One or two losing weekends should never spell disaster - off weeks are an inevitable part of sports gambling. Successful bettors "grind out" their winnings over the course of the season. In other words, don't try for the big kill on one game - simply set your goals (and your money management systems) to win more games than you lose over the long haul.
Take Advantage of Early Season Pointspread and Money Line Value
Look for excellent moneyline and point spread values early in the season, before the odds makers have had a chance to "catch up" with which teams are hot and which teams are not. Start your football handicapping analysis during the summer so you'll be ready to take full advantage of the first few weeks of the season.
Make Quality Bets - Not Quantity
Narrow your weekly betting choices down to no more than 5 - 7 games per week. It's a rare week when more than a few games will stand out as good wagering values. Find these games and you'll better your odds of winning more than you lose.
Find The Best Odds and Betting Lines
With hundreds of online casinos already in existence, and more springing up every season, college football lines and point spreads will vary from one sportsbook to the next. Be certain that you are getting the best odds for your betting dollars. We've examined most of the online betting sites and have found that none consistently match the quality service and excellent betting lines offered by MVPsportsbook.
Focus on Objective & Emotional Factors
Basically, there are three types of handicapping - Objective, Emotional and Historical. Objective handicapping analyzes the current strengths, weaknesses, and overall talent of a team. Emotional handicapping looks at factors such as let-downs after a big game, looking ahead to a huge rivalry game, and payback to a team that rubbed it in late in last year's game. Historical handicapping is based on past performances and things like a team having a record of 12 and 1 against the spread in their last 13 games on turf.
Focus primarily on Objective and Emotional analysis - these are the truest indicators of a teams current level of performance. Historical handicapping has a way of jumping up and biting you as soon as you lay down a huge wad based on some ridiculous set of stats.
Never put too much stock in a team's performance in a single game. Much to the bookmakers' delight, most gamblers are enticed by a team who looked great the previous week. The oddsmakers will adjust the lines to reflect this effect, and in the process the team in question will have poor line value. Plus, last week's "great" team usually comes back down to earth the following week and fails to cover.
