Sports betting football numbers are the most popular ones on the board each year. NFL and college football get a lot of attention from sportsbetting gamblers around the world. As you look at the sportsbetting football numbers you should remember that there are vast differences between college and pro football.
Sports betting football numbers tell us that there are 32 teams in the NFL while college football has over 120 teams. That makes for considerably more sportsbetting handicapping in college football but there is the potential for far greater board values in college football. Many college football teams operate in relative obscurity and receive scant media attention. Often times these teams will rise out from an anonymous existence and into prominence, and in the process make money for sports betting gamblers.
Where many gamblers go wrong when they are look at college football sports betting numbers is always taking the popular, traditional power “name brand” teams such as Notre Dame, Ohio State, Florida, USC, and Texas.
The sportsbetting oddsmakers are fully aware that many gamblers lack a lot of in depth knowledge about the sport and will simply take power teams against weaker teams, regardless of the pointspread. Therefore such plays are often the most worthless on the board, as the sports betting oddsmakers make the power teams into overlays.
Also keep in mind that there is often a vast difference in the sports betting pointspreads that you see between pro and college football. Most NFL sports betting pointspreads are within seven points or less and double digit numbers are relatively uncommon. In college football, however, it is not rare at all to see sports betting pointspreads ranging from twenty, thirty, and sometimes up to forty points as there are far more mismatches as well as discrepancies in team reputations.
Just because you are successful in NFL sports betting does not mean you will win in college football sports betting and vice versa. The numbers are different in the two sports and, therefore, the sportsbetting handicapping needs to be different if you expect to win money.
