Sports betting on Saturdays for many gamblers will involve college football. The best way to handle yourself at a sportsbook on a college football Saturday is to be prepared. The more prepared that you are at a sportsbook the less trouble that you are likely to get in with your online betting.

Sports betting success comes down to having a solid plan. The first step towards proper planning for college football online betting is to come up with a money management plan. You should allocate your college football sports betting bankroll based on the entire season, rather than on a game by game basis like most gamblers do. For example, if you have a $15,000 sports betting bankroll and the college football regular is fifteen weeks in length you should allocate $1000 per week and no more for your college football sports betting. The next step is knowing how to break down that $1000 weekly online betting bankroll. Most weeks there are college football games on television on Thursday and Friday nights, and sometimes even on Tuesday and Wednesday nights as well, which leads to the big slate of sports betting on Saturday.
You really don’t want to over-extend yourself in sports betting on those early midweek games. In fact you should simply treat those midweek games as another portion of the overall college football schedule and evaluate and rate them on that basis. In other words, if a midweek game wouldn’t meet your criteria to be played on Saturday, why would you bet on it during the week? If you must have sports betting action on such midweek games, limit it to $20 or $50 maximum so that you still have plenty of ammo left on Saturday for your online betting.
Now when Saturday does come keep in mind that there are four “sessions” at a sportsbook, for lack of a better term. There are the early morning games, the early afternoon games, the late afternoon/early evening games and then the late games. Ideally, you would break your sports betting bankroll down into four segments in preparation for this.
If you get ahead early Saturday, be smart and pocket at least half of the sports betting winnings and then wager with the other half. That way you are assured of a profit. And if you start off the day with sports betting losses, don’t make the mistake of chasing your losses.
