Betting or gambling on College Football is one of the most interesting sports to bet on. With more than 50 Div 1 games held weekly each with usually more than 100 markets, offers punters over 5000 outcomes to chose from each week. There are also many very high spreads (or lines) every single week, as stronger teams face what would be considered average competition. Meaning Head to Head betting can be extremely low value unless you successfully couple multiple head to head wins together. Equally as challenging is the over/under total game points. Where you can see over/under totals north of 70 points and that can be with 2 teams ranked in the Top 25. 

This tends to suggest that for the most part defence is not college football teams strengths. Take the two College Football Playoff results of 2023. TCU beat Michigan 51 – 44 (95 point total) and Georgia beat Ohio State 42-41 (83 point total). While thats just two results in the year finding teams that can score points can offer some real value even with Alternate Line selections. Also depending on the conference you may find some teams really struggling to score points against other tougher top to bottom conferences. 

The other big advantage college football offers gamblers is the schedule of the games, where there are many opportunities to potentially recover from say an early upset in the morning, as the Saturday Schedule sees games starting at 10:00 am ET and running all the way though until sometimes after 12:00 pm ET, thats a lot of football. 

Our best advice is to look for the tried and tested bashers vs bums, or in other words, teams that score points vs teams that cant score at all, and dont be afraid of the spreads in these outcomes. One area to watch out for in College Football is teams that get out to large leads in the 1st half can tend to give up points in the 2nd half as they try and slow the game down or worse remove their best places and coast home to win, just not enough to cover, so when reviewing your outcomes, have a look at 1st half points in large spread games.

There really are many outcomes required to be successful winning money on college football, and with so many games on offer it can sometimes be daunting to figure out where to best place your bet. Be patient and work on All Up Carry Over strategies with a trim after 3 outcomes, this should give you the best chance at striking real gold during a long season.
