5 College Football Betting Tips to Prepare for the Upcoming SEC Football Season

The NCAA Southeast Conference football season is right around the corner. As we all know, the NCAAF gives bettors a lot of betting opportunities, which means you have the potential to win big money if you have the mind for it.

That said, if you're new to college football betting, then you're in luck because, in this article, we will be giving you tips on how to win in college football betting. So turn up your notes and shop for bets because we will start winning big money in college football betting. Let's start.

Don't Bet on the Full Spectrum

This one can be a doozy since if you have no self-control, it can be tempting to bet on every game in a week of college football. As we said a while ago, college football offers many betting opportunities, but we're not saying you should bet on all the games. That said, what you should be doing instead is only to find games that have value.

This is especially true if you find games that you think are wrong. This way, you get paid much bigger payouts if your picks are right. By doing this, you're setting yourself up for success, especially if you get proficient with finding value; it will be easier for you to find them in the future.

Specialize in a Conference

Since we're talking about the Southeast Conference, it might be trivial to discuss this tip. However, as mentioned earlier, some people just can't stay put in a single conference and proceed to bet on others. However, you'll be more likely to win if you want to stay sane or give yourself the correct knowledge by specializing in a single conference.

But how? This is because by specializing, you'll know more about the conference. It will be available for rivalries, injuries, coaching staff, play styles, etc. You'll have statistical knowledge about specific matchups, individual matchups, etc. Armed with this knowledge, it will be easier for you to win your bets.

Don't Ignore Low-Tier Games

Unlike how you play with NFL odds, low-tier games are some of the most valued games for betting. You might think that only the big games have value since everyone is betting on them, but if you listen to the veterans, a significant amount of their bankroll is used on low-tier games. Why?

These games are the ones that don't have too much media attention. No one is particularly interested in them except for the smart bettors. This also means the bookies neglect their lines with these games.

This is advantageous for you since if you know how to look for value, you'll most likely know what to bet on these games because of your specialization. Sure, the payouts might not be that high, but it's a good way to at least pad your bankroll for the high-tier games.

Beware of Trap Games

Trap games are essentially neglected games before or after a huge game. Of course, this means you'll be looking for big-named teams in the association like Ohio State. So, what makes a game a trap game? Let's give an example.

In 1993, Notre Dame won against Florida State in a battle for no.1 and no.2. Since these are big schools, the hype around the game is huge. However, when they were a favorite against Boston College the next week, they lost badly. Of course, it's a huge shock since Notre Dame won against another prestigious school, only to be beaten by a relatively smaller school.

The people who bet on Notre Dame against Boston College lost out on a lot since they thought it would be an easy win for Notre Dame. Look-ahead games are also a type of trap game. Let's have an example situation here.

If Florida is playing against Vanderbilt and is a -28, and they are looking ahead to play against Alabama the following week, then you should find value in Vanderbilt. This is because Florida will focus too much on Alabama, so the team will neglect their current game with Vanderbilt.

Check for Injuries

Football is a physical sport, so it's no wonder a few players will be injured. You should always check this since injuries can change how the game will be played and finished. This is especially true if the supposed injured player is a star player and critical for a team.

Final Words

And that's it! These are our betting tips for the upcoming Southeast Conference football season. By following these tips, you'll be more likely to have an advantage over bookies, resulting in you winning a lot more and with bigger payouts. Armed with knowledge and instinct, maybe this college football season will be the luckiest yet. With all that said, good luck.
