NCAAF Specials are yet another opportunity for bettors to get involved in sports betting. NCAAF Specials are like futures bets that run at specific times of the year or when a certain event prompts them, allowing bettors to predict the outcome of those future events.
Player Prop Bets in NCAAF Specials
NCAAF Specials are like a typical futures bet. Bettors make predictions on how a team will do or what event will happen soon or at the end of the season.
Depending on the special, a bet may give you two betting options for one thing happening or not, or there may be multiple options for an outcome to take place, such as who may be a new head coach of a team.
In the case of the former, the sportsbook will give each candidate positive or negative odds. The options most likely to win will be represented by negative odds, while positive odds represent an underdog. The higher the number, the greater the favorite or underdog.
When there are multiple options for a special, all betting options are usually listed with positive odds unless one outcome is much more likely to happen, which would then get negative odds. When all outcomes are represented with positive odds, the lower the number, the greater the favorite.
Betting Strategy
When betting on NCAAF Specials, there are strategies one can employ to ensure they get the most out of their bet.
First, it will depend on what type of special one is betting on, as a bet on whether a team will go undefeated will be different than who will be the next coach for a college team.
When betting on the former, doing research into the team is key. Knowing how the team is performing, what its strength of schedule is, whether that may pose any issues, how many returning players, and what the roster makeup is are all major components of the outcome of a season.
For things that are more speculation-based, such as where a high school prospect will go or the next college football hire, there are different strategies to use. Bettors should look into who is being interviewed for jobs or what schools have gotten visits, what college insiders are predicting, and the best potential fit with teams and prospects to try and make their bet.
Player Prop Bets in NCAAF Specials
Per usual, there is also the option to bet on player props in NCAAF Specials. Player props are bets on what kind of statistics a player will have in a game or a season and give bettors another chance to bet on the game.
To give you an example, one such player prop our sportsbook currently has is how many total passing touchdowns Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders will have in the regular season.
