Pro football is traditionally the most popular avenue for sports betting--whether its in Vegas or an office pool on the Super Bowl. College betting is just as prevalent as pro football betting. However, it can be a bit more difficult than pro football betting.
The reason is pretty simple: there are far fewer teams that are in the NFL than there are in college. It can be more difficult to track the trends for each and every team in college football. In addition, while there are certain powerhouse teams in college football, there are also more chances for an upset. College players are not as experienced so teams arent always as reliable.
At the same time, there are more sure bets in college betting than there are in the NFL. An undefeated powerhouse is almost guaranteed to beat a team with a relatively small sports program. Most betters know, though, that sure bets dont usually have a high payout. The best college betting payouts are for games in which the teams are evenly matched--i.e. if its not a gamble, you wont nearly make as much money.
Of course, this is what makes college betting and college football in general, so exciting. There are always unexpected winners. College football games are generally higher scoring--this can affect point spreads on a particular game. If you are interested in college betting, you need to check the information as betting on NFL games: injuries, home or away games, odds, and other factors that can help you make the best bet.
