I Dislike Betting On College Football

I dislike betting on college football.

The above statement - and title of this post - is something I should remember each weekend when I decide to pick one selection in a bet.

I know nothing about college football so take the opinions of a number of professional handicappers.

I gauge all their thoughts and look at the teams that the consensus is on. I then back that particular team or points total.

Last week's selection was winner. This past Saturday's wasn't.

Seventy-eight percent of the newsletters I looked through had Ohio State to cover the spread by more than sixteen and a half points.

I watched the game and they started off well. They started giving the game away in the second half and I knew that part of the bet was on life support.

So - I switched it off.

It usually takes me a few weeks to get to the point where I am contemplating an end to betting on college football. It took three weeks this time around.

I know I'll be back having another go. I just don't know when that will be.

2013?

This Saturday?
