Sports Betting

The BCS college bowl games are quickly approaching and it's time to lock and load! Let's take a look at a few things that may help prevent you from paying the bookie this year.
One should keep in mind that the odddsmakers know that a ton of sports bettors are going to be getting down on these games. That means inflated lines. Why you ask? Most people, especially inexperienced bettors, like to bet on favorites and overs in big nationally televised games. This is a great way to lose your bankroll as with the inflated lines your "playing uphill."
Now don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean that some favorites won't win. In fact they could very easily dominate the whole bowl season although it's unlikely. You can't approach a game as a must win situation. All forms of sports gambling must be done with the thought in mind that you are going to nail down a winning percentage of 52.4% or better to guarantee yourself a profit. Any favorite or underdog can win on any given day, hell, that's why they play the game!

12/30We like the Minnesota Golden Gophers to cover as a favorite against the Virginia Cavaliers. Minnesota has an unbelievable offense line lead by their star studded center and have only given up 3 sacks this year. Pair that up with a run game powered by Maroney and a Virginia team that hasn't exactly been knocking them dead or getting into the end zone much lately we're gonna lay the points here despite not being a fan of betting favorites in bowl games. If your going to bet this, get it quick as it may hit 7 or surpass that key number soon.
12/31In the LSU/Miami match up we like LSU and the points. The media is blowing the quarterback being out way out of proportion. How's this for news: Memo to Miami, you aren't gonna score much because this LSU defense is flat nasty. Their backup quarterback narrowly missed being the starter this year as well so it doesn't worry us a bit. Nothing like having the better defense and getting points in a bowl game! Take the +7 before it drops as we forecast that it will indeed move down before gametime.
12/31In the South Florida/NC State game we again like the dog here. Grab the points, the line is dropping like a rock. NC State is overrated and on the flip side South Florida may even be the better team.
12/31In another New Year's Eve game we like Tulsa getting points vs. Fresno State. Fresno State is a GREAT home team. Not the same story on the road. They have NO business laying more than a touchdown to Tulsa. Fresno State has been reeling with injuries this year otherwise this may be a no play. Don't be surprised if Tulsa wins straight up.
1/2Im a bit embarassed to say this but I'm blindly taking Iowa against Florida based on the fact that a sharp buddy of mine is on them. Im happy to see the line moving towards Iowa as well so he is definitely onto something. This friend is connected to people who bet very large amounts of money and are very sharp handicappers. I recommend that you get a little piece too before it goes to a pickem or worse.
1/4In a gutless attempt to have action on the big game (Rose Bowl) and liking USC but being too chicken to lay the points vs. a decent Texas team that you never know what their going to do, I have selected the moneyline as my play here along with tying it into some 7 point teasers to bring them to -1/2. No balls no glory but I'm trying to protect my bankroll here!
Call me nuts but I believe this USC team is one of the best college football teams ever to take the field. We all know that Reggie Bush is a stud but look a little further and you'll see a super strong offensive line. Line play wins games fellas. I look forward to seeing him visit the endzone a couple times and for USC to get away with a win. Ironically, I can't confidently say that they'll cover the 7. Gotta go with my gut here.
