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

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.
