Betting College Football Underdogs
Saturday, September 13th, 2008When betting on College Football Underdogs, there are many great opportunities which can prove very profitable. Some of the best lines I have found have been on underdogs, and this is especially true with College betting. So let’s go over some of the reasons this is so:
1- Big Blow Outs
In college betting, unlike with NFL, teams regularly blow each other away. This creates a situation where bookmakers often have to place outrageous lines which can provide a pretty safe bet since outrageous lines are rarely covered. In the NFL, large leads often fade, since the coaches won’t risk their star players getting injured, and underdogs often over in the latter parts of a game.
2- Underdogs are Underestimated
No one believes in the underdog. Not the public, bookies or anyone, which can lead to unfair spreads. What’s even more important; the favorite often doesn’t take the underdog seriously. This is why it is so important to research historical trends. Finding an underestimated underdog can provide you with a great bang for your betting dollar.
3- People won’t dare to bet on the Underdog
The best lines are always found where the least amount of people are looking. This is especially true when you bet the underdog. So many people won’t take the underdog, simply because they feel the underdog is an inferior team. The fact that the spread is many times against the favorite does not face them. Remember, by boldly going where other men don’t, fortunes have been made.
4- Fans can Move a Line in Your Favor
Remember, especially with College Football, most betting fans bet with their heart, not their brain. In some cases, this can heavily influence the lines when bookies try to balance the money they have on each side. Shop around when there is a game between a popular college and a small one. I have made good money on this.
