3 Simple Steps to Bet on College Football

As a bettor, you need wagering opportunities and lots of them to bet and earn. College football betting offers the best choice. In a college football season, there are conference games, and there are non-conference games, and they offer ample opportunities to bet on the game.

Every week there is some matchup which are knock-out ones in which one team send the other back to home. These games offer the best value. But even before you place your first bet there are certain steps that you need to follow:

First, Sign-up With a Reputed Sportsbook

With so many sportsbooks out there, how should you choose the best one? There are many things that you need to consider:

  • Reputation-You will surely not want to take chances with one that is hardly visible or has been launched recently. The one which has been in existence has proven itself in operations so you should first check this factor.
  • Bonuses- There are many kinds of bonuses that sportsbook offer. They can range from 50% to 100% of the initial deposit. But you should refrain from signing up blindly as there may be rollover requirements that have to be met.
  • Odds Coverage-Some sportsbooks only cover certain sports. You need to make sure that the sportsbook covers college football betting odds.

Deposits and Withdrawals-When you are making deposits, you will want that they have accepted your mode of payment and there are minimal hassles when withdrawing the funds.Second, You Need to Learn a Few Basics about Bankroll Management

You have to manage the bankroll efficiently when you are placing the bets. Be clear about how much money can you afford to lose. Then you need to have it in the bankroll.

You should not rush to place the bet that you come across first. Ensure that you have done all the number crunching and have listed a few odds that you will place the bet on.

And when you do that, bet with a smaller amount. It will help you to break-even quickly.

Third, Know the Game and the Teams

You will need to do some analysis before placing the bet. It is assumed that you know the game well and the teams that are playing.

A good starting point would be the past performance of the two teams. The team who has done well in the past year may play the game better this year as well.

Then you need to keep a close watch on the injury to the star players, home or on the road, coaches and the trading of the players as well. It has a direct bearing on the game strategy of teams and may eventually decide the fate of the game ultimately whether you win the bet or lose it.

Fourth, Bet Sensibly

When you are betting, stay away from liquor. You will not be in your senses and make mistakes that may wipe out your bankroll. Getting emotional while betting is a sin you must refrain from. Make it a point to bet with a small amount even if you are entirely sure about it. If the gains are small, the losses will also be limited. Risk of losing is best mitigated by betting on different odds. Instead of placing a large bet, you should place multiple small bets.

Finally

These are the simple steps that you need to take to do well in college football betting. More than anything else, you need to keep calm and control your emotions before betting. No bettor has ever gained by chasing losses and betting recklessly.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
