Look for the Best Betting Lines

This is perhaps the most important online betting tip we can offer - shop for the best possible odds from the online sportsbooks. There are two ways to do this in our opinion:

1. Surf the internet sportsbooks, register with as many as possible in order to have access to their betting lines, and before placing any wager, check each sportsbook's lines to see who offers the best odds on a particular wager. Sounds like a lot of work, but nobody said gambling was easy.

OR

2. Follow our recommendation for the one sportsbook that consistently offers the most competitive lines for betting on football - GameDay Sports Book & Casino. We've done our homework and nobody comes close to the exceptional lines, customer service and fast payouts offered by GameDay.

Don't Lay More Than a TD

It may work in college football, but laying more than 7 points in the pros is a sure fire way to empty your wallet. The difference in talent between two college teams is often large enough to warrant giving up double digits, but NFL matchups are rarely that lopsided.

 

Be Selective

Be realistic - what are the odds of you picking every game correctly on a given week? Be selective and look for the 3 or 4 SOLID games that you feel most strongly about having picked correctly. Don't try to come up with a wager on every game, simply for the sake of having some action going. And don't let the fact that a game is televised influence your decision to pass on it. It IS okay to watch a game purely for the enjoyment of the sport

 

Don't Overreact to Blowouts

Quite often after a rout (especially Monday Night games), casual bettors can't wait to jump on the winner and against the loser the following week. Don't fall into this trap - as the saying goes, "On any given Sunday ..."

 

Strength of Schedule

It happens every year - in college and the NFL - teams post gaudy numbers for several weeks in a row against inferior competition. Eventually, they'll meet a tougher opponent, and chances are the line will be over inflated due to public sentiment based on the team's previous games. Pay as much attention to WHO a team has played as to HOW a team has played.
