We’re a week away from the start of the NFL preseason with Arizona taking on Carolina in the Hall of Fame Game from Canton, Ohio on Thursday night. Betting preseason can be profitable with the right information, but remember that like any other sport, football is a marathon, not a sprint.
In other words, bet wisely and when you start with a bankroll, with 0ver 20 weeks of regular season college and the NFL coming up, you should be conservative.
The goal is to maximize your bankroll (1-2%), before the NFL and college regular season begins. Here are some more tips.
A)Avoid chasing losses by inreasing bet size after a bad day.
B)Be disciplined. If you have a bankroll of $500, bet 1% ($5) and 2% ($10) for strong plays. If you have $5,000, bet $50 (1 unit or 1%) and bet $100 (2 units or 2%).
C)Start preseason with a plan. Let’s say you have $1,000. Make your standard bet $10 (1 units) and a strong play $20 (2 units).
D)Skip days when you have no edge. It’s not worth to just guess if you have no confidence in your pick. Don’t just pick a game to be in action, because it’s preseason.
E)Getting back to the conservatism of betting, you have to 20+ weeks to go crazy on college football and NFL regular season. Focus only on games where you have clear reason to believe the line is off and remember the line, that “few is more” is a good motto in preseason.
E)Another way to protect and increase your bankroll is to shop for the best line. Getting an extra half point or a better price can significantly improve long terms results.
F)If you are not confident in your preseason picks (there are other options like ATS), you can bet early season future in college and the NFL including the Super Bowl, Heisman Trophy, CFP, Division winners and season win totals.
G)Keep detailed records of: 1)The closing line vs. your bet. 2)Sport. 3)Result. 4)Stake. 5)Reason for bet.
H)Make sure you have a strong bankroll ready for Week 1 of the NFL and college football.
