College Football Sportsbooks

Written by Jack Jones

It’s time to start getting excited about football season! As football betting has continued to grow in popularity, you may have noticed that more and more sportsbooks keep popping up all over the Internet, making it difficult to choose which one works the best for you. Instead of working your way through a list of hundreds or thousands of sportsbooks, we’ll tell you which sportsbooks are going to be the best for you this football season and exactly why. We’ve narrowed the list down to 3 excellent books, each of which is strong for it’s own reason. Here’s the rundown:

Bodog: There are several reasons why Bodog might be a good book for you. The most obvious reason is that it’s one of the easiest sites to use in the industry. Deposits and payouts are a breeze, plus the user interface is clean and easy to navigate in order to place your bets. Our other, less obvious reason, for choosing Bodog is that you can really take advantage of good lines on underdogs. Because they have been one of the best books in the business, they have a lot of players, and a lot of those players are what are considered “square” bettors, meaning they bet frequently on favorites. Many times you can get an extra point or half point on an underdog at Bodog compared to other online books. I like to keep an account there for that reason alone. A point or half point is often times the difference between a win or a loss, so this benefit can add up quickly.

5Dimes: When you’re looking for a place to bet on college football, 5Dimes has to be at the top of your list. They are probably the most popular book among our experts for one simple reason: reduced juice! This means that you get a discount on just about every bet that you make. Where a lot of books use the standard 10% (-110) for bets, there are many Saturday’s where the worst line I get is 5% (-105). These are huge bonuses in themselves, but every little discount adds up to a lot at the end of every season.

Bookmaker: If I’ve said it before, I’ve said it a thousand times, you need an account with Bookmaker. This is the book that sets the college football point spreads that every other book is going to uses as the basis for their lines. Why is that a good thing for you? Simple. You can jump on better lines with Bookmaker than any other online sportsbook. While other books might adjust their lines based on expected action, your bet will be in at Bookmaker well before the other guys even release their lines.
