teams that score first are 19-7 ML

whoever gives up the first score good luck the game is pretty much over. a score of 7-0 (or even 3-0) has proven to be too much of an uphill battle for these teams to overcome. i guess it's too detrimental with all the backups playing as well as some really questionable coaching decisions. with that being said 3 of the 7 wins occured yesterday (usc, navy, cuse) . maybe it could open up some live bet opportunities if you actually believe in this. for games that are going on right now, iowa state scored first vs miami so we shall see. 

update: 20-8 (iowa state 7-0 W, Col St 3-0 L) 

pending: ECU 7-0 (leading 20-7 3rd qrt)
pending: BYU 7-0 (leading 7-0 1st qrt)

How does it open up opportunities for live betting? A moneyline bet on a team already winning is very expensive odds unless they're a huge dog like Wazzou was. You won't make much when you win those ML bets and you have to risk like -250 or -300 so you would get wiped out  super quick with one day like yesterday. Complete recipe for disaster in college ball.

If you try and go spread yeah maybe they keep rolling but betting on the team already winning is... Well, check bay2la's posts. He does it every halftime he gets all hyped up off what he just saw and bets at the half saying 'OMG the other team won't score!' and then he loses

 you couldve got iowa state at huge ML odds they went down 38-28. you couldve got ecu at big ML odds who blew the lead in the 4th. I'm not saying it's a legit strategy but if you really trust the process you could've fired on them. It's just kind of lame that if you bet a game you can't afford your team to go down 7-0 or it's over. 

updated record 21-8 , ECU scoop and score called back at 21-20. they get the ball back and call a run play on 3rd and 10 from their own 20 and score a 70+ yard td run followed by a brawl. wild ending. 

like i said it doesn't make it a legit strategy but this bowl season it's been a trend and already 21-8 so you would've cashed out by now. just something to keep an eye on..

BYU up 20-0. they went up 7-0 and still could've been bet probably -150 or less.

 i can't edit so i just want to make it clear: it's not an edge and not a legit strat but a trend i've noticed this bowl season. for me it is ruining the entertainment of the games more than anything. also disheartening that if i make a wager and my team goes down 7-0 it is pretty much gg. now if you really want to trust the process you can fire on them but the numbers dont lie.
