Stat Attack College Football 2011

Stat Attack Sports produces a complete line of handicapping software for football, basketball and baseball, along with a football newsletter and thoroughbred betting program. We'll look at the 2011 college football program, including the new Stat Attack Gold version of the program, in this review.

The new Stat Attack College Football program for 2011 is now out, which will give bettors plenty of time to do research before the new season is upon us. Those who have used the program before will no doubt recognize all of the features that made previous versions such a snap to use and there are several improvements, as well. When you are doing a search for a particular team, you now enter the first letter of the team and you can see all the teams that begin with that letter, as opposed to having to scroll through the list of all teams.

With the program, bettors can quickly find out how particular teams, conferences and coaches do in certain situations, such as when they are a home underdog, off a bye week, as a small road favorite, and many more.

Another nice aspect of the program is that you can get a look at game statistics for every game played the last 25 years. The recap shows total yardage, turnovers, time of possession, weather and more.

p>As I've mentioned before, there is no "correct" way of using any of the Stat Attack programs. It's up to the individual user to decide which trends and angles are of importance, but Stat Attack makes it easy and gives plenty of options.

The week after feature returns once again and it is a tremendous breakthrough for college football bettors. What the week after feature does is let users search to see how teams have performed the week after a particular occurrence.

If you want to know how Florida has performed against the spread over the past 10 seasons after having -3 turnovers, Stat Attack will let you know.

Bettors can decide to look at such factors as days since the last game, turnover margin, time of possession, playing surface, passing or rushing yards and total yards.

Not only can you check a particular team or a team in a particular situation, but you can can also check the results when the opponent is off a particular occurrence. An example would be that road favorites are 14-7-1 the past five years when facing a team that rushed for more than 251 yards than its opponent in its previous game, which is something you'll want to remember when the 2011 season is upon us.

Naturally, there will be plenty of strong team trends that develop out of the week after feature, just as there are likely to be some interesting developments that all college teams, or particular conferences, show as a whole.

Again, there is no correct or incorrect way of using any of the Stat Attack programs.

How to use the program is the question that is most frequently asked and my standard is always however you see fit. Stat Attack programs not tell you to bet on a particular team, rather they tell you what a particular team, conference or all teams have done in certain situations and it's up to the individual bettor how much emphasis to place on each piece of information.

To me, that's the real beauty of the programs, as either trend-based handicappers or situational handicappers will find them invaluable.

To get you started, the folks at Stat Attack have come out with a paper titled Helpful Hints for Stat Attack Football 2011-12 which will give you a few pointers and a few trends to get you started.

If there was one thing that people could change about the Stat Attack line of programs was that they did not use statistics from the current season. That's going to change with the release of Stat Attack Gold, which allows users to download current statistics on a weekly basis.

The Gold version of the college football program will allow users to do all of the searches that are available with the regular version, but also take into consideration what is happening with the current year.

The current season feature is a huge step forward and opens a whole new avenues of possibilities for the use of Stat Attack programs. It's exciting to think of some of the different uses of the program.
