Offshore sportsbook college football betting is second only to pro football in popularity at a sportsbook. While college football betting is incredibly popular, it has the same issues that pro football and the other sports have as far as a considerable lack of original thought and handicapping methodology from offshore sportsbook bettors.
Offshore sportsbook college football betting will have a lot of gamblers on the same side of many games. There are two distinctly different factions of gamblers at a college football offshore sportsbook. There is the hardcore group of professionals and semi-professionals that do, in fact, think independently for the most part and tend to go their own way. Then there are the masses who are casual college football gamblers and this is the group that constantly gets itself in trouble because of their superficial handicapping style that is little more than a face value, mass media approach.
The masses at a college football offshore sportsbook will nearly always bet on not just the obvious but also on whatever the media spin of the day is. This also means that the masses tend to gravitate towards the traditional power or “name brand” college football teams that are constantly on television and getting the most publicity at the offshore sportsbook. Along those same lines you will find that your hardcore group of college football handicappers has no problem focusing attention and gambling dollars on the lesser-known teams at a sportsbook. The professional offshore sportsbook gambler actually tries to avoid the big-name games and teams because of all of the ignorant money that is bet on those games. And yet when the pros do get involved in the high profile games they are, far more often than not, on the opposite side of the masses which is, generally, on the same side as the offshore sportsbook.
Another smart move that the pros will often make is taking those traditional powers when they are underdogs at the offshore sportsbook. This is, in essence, taking advantage of the mainstream gambling public that gravitates towards favorites at the sportsbook. By taking a power dog, you will combine quality and added value at the offshore sportsbook. That is oftentimes the secret when betting college football at an offshore sportsbook. Getting value is what it is all about when betting college football at a sportsbook.
