Football Handicapping Tips

Handicapping in football is the art of adjustment and being dynamic about it. Football handicapping is not for the faint of heart and yet people can get really stubborn about one particular strategy that seems to work. However, time and again we have seen successful handicapping systems laying a complete waste. So what makes them tick when they do and why do they stop working when they do?

Handicapping strategies are systems that are bound to fail from their very inception. No, it is not a conspiracy against bettors by the bookies. It is simple logic and common sense once you think about it.

Football is as organic a game as ever and just like everything organic - it changes. Star players retire, coaches change, team strategies change - basically everything changes. So in a game that changes so often, how can you expect a fixed system to last you long? Thus these systems may be great when they start but do know that they will fail eventually.

The best thing that you can do to save your money is tweak the system to suit the present. The past is past and it will never come back. If it did, betting wouldn't exist. So all you can do is learn from your mistakes and move on.

Successful handicapping comes from understanding and analyzing information. You have to constantly look through all the data that you can manage to find. There is no substitute for hardcore research. No analyst can tell you what you can dig up yourself.

You should have all the stats at your fingertips before you start handicapping. So you have to know about all the scores, averages, histories, player changes, injuries, trends, weather conditions, everything. Unless you can dedicate yourself to this research, you can never expect to make any money at all.

If you are in it for the fun, you have pay dearly for having your fun.

Getting good numbers is crucial for successful handicapping but getting them can be tough. With so many sportsbooks around, you have to know which ones are the trustworthy ones. Keep yourself updated at all times because even a 1/2 difference can cost you the win.

Do not look at the records of the teams. Instead look at how they have done against the spreads. Only a fool thinks that the best performing team has been the best money making team. Sometimes, it is the team that does miserably that makes bettors the largest sums of money. So when you tally records, tally them against the spreads that were offered at the time.

Do not get emotional about betting. Betting is all about numbers and probabilities. There is no place for emotions here. If your favorite team is very unlikely to win, losing your money while they lose the game will not make you feel any better.

Also, be quick to recover from a loss and learn from every mistake. Learn from every correct decision you take.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons - Getting to Know the Teams For the Tobacco Road

Tobacco road is not just a road made of tobacco plants. Aside from having a name that could equate to a haven for smokers, the name itself implies the rivalry. This is the rivalry of the four universities within the area. These rivalries are from the Big Four universities that is one of the main attractions in College Games.

It is no doubt that these schools result into having intense rivalries with each other due to their locations. If you want to get to know these four universities, check it out below:

1. North Carolina State University- This school is located Raleigh, North Carolina. Their team is known as the Wolfpacks. Their biggest rivalry among the four universities is the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This is evident on their lyrics and how they tweak their words, in order to phsyc out the Tar Heels. Their team won four National Championships but most of their victories are accounted for the ACC Championships. Their fight song is known as the Red and White song.

2. Wake Forest University- This is one of the two private school members of the Big Four. The school is located in Winston-Salem. According to wfu.edu, this is a school run by the Baptists and tobacco growers. Nevertheless, what is so surprising about this school is the name of their athletics group. Their varsity team is called Wake Forest Demon Decons. This team grabbed eight national titles from different sports. The most recent wins are from their hockey team for women.

3. Duke University- This is the second private school that is a member of the Tobacco Road group. Located in Durham, North Carolina, this school was founded by a tobacco tycoon, which the school was named after in their honor. The name of their varsity team is the Duke University Blue Devils. Their best teams are their women golf team and their basketball team for men. Their biggest rival is the Tar Heels. They have produced many players that qualify for the Olympics since 1956.

4. University of South Carolina- It is located in Tar Hills, North Carolina. This is the last member of the Big Four Universities. It is one of the oldest schools in United States since it was established in 1795. The name of their varsity team is North Carolina Tar Heels. They have an excellent record in NCAA as they have 33 National titles. Their best team, grabbing the most titles for NCAA, is their soccer team for women. Their greatest rivalry is the Duke University.

It seems from all of the Tabacco Road universities, the Wake Forest Demon Deacons least attracts rivalries. And every school considers Tar Heels as their greatest opponents. There is no question about the performance of their team. No wonder the different schools are eager to beat them.

Nevertheless, all of these teams have provided great sports entertainment for the people of North Carolina. Tobacco Road Group is not only a haven for smokers but it is also the haven of the best players in the history of sports.



Freddie Brister is a huge fan of the ACC and the Wake Forest Demon Decons. His love for the game of football started with an older brother passing the pigskin around in the backyard with cousins and neighborhood friends. He later played in high school, college and coached high school football for 25 years, before retiring to write for Sports Fan Treasures. Check out his. Wake Forest Merchandise
