First year betting CFB, any pointers or tips

1st off wreck welcome 2nd have fun enjoy the games. Here are my tips everyones are different

1. If you can try to find a conference or 2 you're good in. Since you're in Texas maybe big-12/c-usa/SEC or whatever one you want

2. Try to get some publications on college football. Phil Steele's Lindy's etc

3. Find a team before the season you think will be undervalued. LY before the season i thought Rutgers was underrated i bet i think 6 or 7 of their games and won 5 or 6. Same with a team you think will be overrated

4. Never be afraid to bet a total. When you win the guy who won 100 on Tulane gets paid the same amount as the guy who wins 100 on mich,nebarska going over

5. A lot of guys sometimes forget this you can bet on smaller conferences too. Onsaturday a texas winner gets paid just like the winner on Rice. they won't go you bet Rice you only get half the money

6. If you lose pay on time. Will they pay you on time if you win? IDK but pay them on time when you lose

7. Obviously bet what you can afford to lose

8. Something i saw last year a lot of bets on weekday games between 2 teams where you can't name 5 of their players. Treat the wednesday game like a saturday game. Ask yourself if this mac game was saturday would i bet it

9. When in doubt on a game skip it

10. Hang out on here Join us during in game threads. We have fun We had some good ones like NIU-Toledo

basically wreck its fun there are now 124 teams. 2 new ones from your state in texas state and UTSA.Have fun pay on time and win. Hope i helped and GL

Pick all chalk especially from SEC and power conferences

Also if you lose early bet double later

I can't disagree more.  Watch every game you can. Trust your eyes

you obviously did not get the intent of that sentence.    if you do your homework, you don't need to be "willing" the teams you bet on to win.   the outcome will have nothing to do with whether or not you watch the game.  honestly, I would advocate that a better watch a game that they scouting for the next week during week or some other team down the road instead of the games you bet on.  it is discipline and I believe the difference between chump emotional betters who did for fun and those of us who are serious about making money...

understood...and I agree...when you miss, it is good to know why you missed...i guess i have learned from personal experience over the last 10 years.   rooting for some team to avoid a backdoor cover (ie Ga Tech v. NC State - Ga Tech running the ball with 30 seconds left, fumbling and NC State scoring to cover - had Ga Tech taken a knew, they cover, it has to be one of the worst ever debacles in sports wagering).    if you are a a serious capper, you have to evaluate your picks on the merits, select, then forget about it, and check to see if you win or not.   you should always use money mgt, only wager what you can afford to lose, not bet on your team if you can't be objective, and know that you will win some days, and not win others.     if you do it for fun, then watching the games his part of the fun.  if you want to beat the books, you must have a long term sustainable plan that incorporates best practices.   that's what the pro's do...and that's what I will do this college football season, God Willing...Good Luck to you!

. . . lest we forget the legend that is Fried Shrimp!!! 

Place your wagers BEFORE the beers start flowin' on Saturday....be real careful when you double up!!!!!

CFB is wonderful......grind away during the season, and let her rip in the Bowls.

Find an underdog you beleive can win the game and take the points.

find the matchups that matter

for example last season Baylor (a no huddle team) was playing texas tech also a no huddle offense, the total was 85, You saw most people on this forum playing the under because they thought it was too many points, Learn to see the game for what it is and play accordingly.

teams like Louisville and teams like Boston college are under machines, Until there are coaching changes made they will always go under more so than over.

then you have dirtball coaches

My number 1 dirtball coach is Kirk Ferrentz

Here is a guy who will do anything and everything to handcuff his offense, Only to allow them to play when they are losing a game.

A coward coach who for some reason has the AD under his spell at Iowa.
