Many sports fans are excited that College Football starts today! And NFL action starts very soon! Here are some notes as we move into football season – as well as a look at today's board.
- ONE big thing to remember - especially since the only recent betting game in town – has been baseball – is that while MLB is based on Moneyline odds, football is a point spread sport.
- Thus, please remember to review the Point Spread betting info for football!
- The Moneyline odds can yield additional information, so that is still shown.
- On the Sports Marketplace
- As usual, the betting odds reflect all of the information that the marketplace offers. Sportsbooks are in the business of making money so the “odds are sharp.”
- Luckily for us, there is also a sector of the betting public who we call the “square public bettor.”
- On average, “Joe Public" loses money.
- The sportsbooks make money due to the bid-ask / vig / commission spread.
- In addition, sportsbooks generally lean lines to maximize profit margins (vs. Joe Public!).
- Our Sports Investing Club monitors sports betting information and we generally are in the same direction as the sportsbooks.
- Today's College Football Board
- Several games show public interest – but also fair value on both sides.
- Our analysts have several games circled that we have reserved for our paying Members.
- The numbers currently DO back a large dog.
- We like the huge points in the USC game and may take the huge points (currently 30.5) and San Jose State.
- It often pays to delay getting down on dogs as the line may increase.
- Members: please login to see if this ends up being a triggered play.
