Betting the Underdogs in Bowl Games
One of the best practices in sports betting is to simply take quality teams when they are underdogs, as they not only have a chance to win the game outright, but they can also stay within the point spread if their efforts come up a bit short.
The college football bowl season is no exception to the rule, and those simply taking all underdogs of six or more points since the start of the 2006 bowl season would have won 40 games and lost 29. That's a 58 winning percentage, which will put money in your pocket.
Underdogs of 10 or more points were a solid 12-8 (60 percent) against the spread heading into the 2010 bowl season, but went 0-2 in 2010, as both Utah and Connecticut were trounced as double-digit dogs.
The premise is good and every system will have its ups and downs, but taking the larger underdogs in bowl games is a move that makes good sense and should always be considered before placing a wager in the bowl games.
