The secret to betting on college ball is this: there is no secret. Sports gambling should be consistent and strategic. You don’t change banks on a whim every weekend so there’s no need to change your bets on feelings, either.
Here are a few tips for getting the biggest bang out of your bet.
Stick to the teams near and dear to you. We don’t mean the big, national teams that you grew up watching with dad and all your uncles- stick to local teams. Your daily newspaper is going to have a lot of information about local teams, and that coverage is invaluable. You’ll learn a lot about the teams in your area. Knowledge is power. Never bet on a team you don’t know anything about.
Become a pro about college ball. The rules are similar, but college and professional football are two very different games. You have to consider a lot of external factors when determining your college picks. College players are more likely to be affected by things such as rankings, change in personnel, etc. A star player on a struggling team late in the season is going to be more focused on staying injury-free for the draft than on winning the game. Know what’s going on off the field, too.
Find a system that works for you. Evaluate every single game using the same criteria. Don’t get caught up in the frenzy around “big” games. Stay steady.
College football betting also includes a fee called the "vig". This vig is generally 10%. So to bet a $100 you need to pay $110 and will only be payed $210 ($110 your money + $100 your winnings). Also when you are betting on college games remember they can be quite different from the professionals. The professional teams are fairly equal. In college you can have huge differences in talent so the point spreads will be much greater. This is especially true when colleges play outside of their conferences. Sometimes even conference games can be blow-outs if they are playing a school that is only part of the conference so they can play basketball and they view the football team as a throw away.
You need to take into account the great turnover of players since every four years colleges have totally different teams. This is different from professional teams that can have key players for several years.
