Betting on the Belmont Stakes

2024/09/23

The Belmont Stakes is the final leg of the Triple Crown and the resting place of attempts to capture all three of these prestigious events. As a result, the Belmont has earned the nickname “The Test of the Champion”, as the entire field gets a final chance to deny the crown to winners of the […]

Las Vegas Bowl Odds

2024/09/03

The betting popularity on the Las Vegas Bowl has waxed and waned over its short life span, in no small part because it isn't among the matchups that make up the college football playoff or help determine who heads to the National Championship. Those stakes are reserved for the following high profile matchups, on a rolling […]

Holiday Bowl Odds

2024/09/03

This is a fair question. The Holiday Bowl is not part of the college football playoff—which simply includes the top four teams in the country as determined by a committee of impartial judges—and its participants have no chance at making the National Championship. On top of that, there are always non-college-playoff bowl games that will […]

Fiesta Bowl Odds

2024/09/03

As referenced above, the Fiesta Bowl plays a role in determining which two teams reach the National Championship—sometimes. Each year, the top four teams are assigned to match up across two different bowl games. First place plays fourth place; second place faces third place. The bowl games they partake in, however, change on a rotating […]

Duke's Mayo Bowl Odds

2024/09/03

One of the most common questions about the Duke's Mayo Bowl is the process by which the participants are determined. Sure, we know one comes from the ACC and the other from the Big 10 or SEC, but the actual matchup is left billowing in the wind until a bunch of other games is sorted […]
Cotton Bowl Odds

Cotton Bowl Odds

2024/09/03

The first part of any successful Cotton Bowl betting strategy is determining whether this is a year in which the game has a bearing on the college football playoff bracket. Its status changes annually. Each year, a selection committee decides which four teams will make the playoffs, a process that has received criticism for its general […]
Citrus Bowl Odds

Citrus Bowl Odds

2024/09/03

Priorities for college football bowl games are usually accolade-based. Ergo, bettors are more inclined to first focus on the major six bowl games, two of which will always make up the college football playoff: Peach Bowl Rose Bowl Sugar Bowl Orange Bowl Cotton Bowl Fiesta Bowl In literal terms, the Citrus Bowl is a member […]
Celebration Bowl Odds

Celebration Bowl Odds

2024/09/03

Making picks for the Celebration Bowl loses luster for some sports gamblers because it isn't part of the college football playoff. That bracket is made up of six other bowl games: Peach Bowl Rose Bowl Sugar Bowl Orange Bowl Cotton Bowl Fiesta Bowl Two of them each year determine who partakes in the National Championship, the […]
