Bodog Live Football Tips

• Every offensive coordinator is looking for 50/50 balance from their passing and running game to keep defenders guessing. But there aren’t many teams that achieve this. That’s why it’s best to keep a close eye on the strengths of the team you’re betting on before playing. Are they the kind of squad to run a draw on third and long, or maybe they air it out on first and ten?

• Many football games come down to the final two minutes of regulation, usually forcing the quarterback to run the two-minute drill to get his team downfield quickly. The two-minute drill usually consists of a series of sideline passes all the way to the end zone, making bets on “pass” a profitable endeavor. And if you have a QB like Tom Brady running things, betting “pass complete” isn’t a bad move either.

• Pick your spots very carefully when using the “turnover” button. Although the payouts are usually enormous, the odds on picking it correctly every time is as likely as beating Devin Hester’s 40 time.

• Don’t forget Bodog Live is doing nationally televised college football games all season long. And with the “option” running play such a big part of NCAA ball, betting on college can sometimes be easier than NFL games.
