 It gives me those weekly exciting feelings from late August until December. College football has the greatest—and most meaningful—regular season in sports, and it shows. The players play their hearts out every Saturday, and the fans are the beneficiaries of a terrific three-plus month of non-stop action. College football betting is also one of the most beloved past time in the United States, in fact, there comes a time that it is most famous than NFL or any other sports. And today, I’ve got a treat for all you punters out there. I had made a list of the most exciting teams in the college league today. These teams are not basically the best, but they are indeed exciting and entertaining. And watch out, because these teams know how to surprise the audience and they might just be the key for you to win that huge cash prize (because everybody might just be betting on the obvious team and these exciting teams can win them over). Whether you will use them on your next college football betting, I’m sure you will have a good time watching them. Here’s my list. Notre Dame - We'll start with the team everyone loves—or loves to hate—Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish haven't been their old selves for what seems like an eternity now, but Notre Dame is still one of the four winningest programs in the history of college football with 845 victories (behind Michigan, 895; Yale, 863; and Texas, 849). But these days, even when Notre Dame comes up short, you have to admit that it does so in spectacularly entertaining fashion. Just as one (of many) examples, take the 2011 contest against Michigan in Ann Arbor. The thrill-a-minute game under the lights at Michigan Stadium was easily one of the most entertaining games of the entire year—even though Notre Dame lost. And then there's the fiery head coach Brian Kelly, who's always good for a quote or two—especially if Notre Dame is trailing (or just lost). Auburn Tigers – The tigers sure like to make things interesting, don't they? After Cam Newton left following the Tigers' national championship after 2010, everyone left Auburn for dead. And through much of their Week 1 game against lowly Utah State in 2011, the Tigers looked like a down and out team, just like we all expected. But through some amazing late-game theatrics, the Tigers found a way to win. And then did the same the following week against then-No. 16 Mississippi State. And while losses to Clemson, Arkansas, LSU, Georgia, and Alabama followed, Auburn sure put on quite a show all season long, en route to an 8-5 finish—including a Chick-fil-A Bowl victory over Virginia. So where do the Tigers go from here? Watch Out! Boise State - It doesn't matter where you live or what team you consider your favorite, you can't escape the fact that over the past six seasons, Boise State has easily been one of the most entertaining and exciting football teams in the entire college football season. From their 2007 Fiesta Bowl overtime thriller against Oklahoma to their punch-for-punch game against TCU in the 2007 Poinsettia Bowl to another Fiesta Bowl victory (over TCU) in 2010, the Broncos have consistently shown that they deserve every consideration as a top program. Virginia - You can sum up Virginia Tech's style of football in one unconventional word: Beamerball. Head coach Frank Beamer has certainly tossed the idea of the offense scoring all of the points right out the window. Since taking over the Hokies program in 1987, a touchdown has been scored by every a player at every position on defense. All of this while playing an at times unconventional style of football. Sure, Virginia Tech has just three returning offensive starters from 2011, but that just means we'll likely see even more Beamerball out of the Hokies in 2012. Now who doesn't want to watch that? Michigan State - This isn't your grandfather's MSU. The Spartans have been on a bit of a tear lately, winning more games in the past two seasons (22) than any other Big Ten program, save for Wisconsin (which also has 22 wins). Michigan State has also beaten Wisconsin during the regular season in back-to-back years, although Sparty did fall just short against the Badgers in the 2011 Big Ten Championship game. Michigan State is now a perennial contender in the Big Ten, and Dantonio's Spartans have been winning with flair these past few seasons. MSU dug up some great drama during its 2011 showdown with Wisconsin in East Lansing. After giving up a seemingly safe fourth quarter lead, Michigan State had the ball near midfield with just a few seconds remaining. Rather than safely taking a knee and going to overtime, Dantonio drew up another historic Michigan State play. The resulting Hail Mary pass was caught right at the goal line, and it took the officials a few minutes to review it. But in the end, it was another amazing, last-play victory for MSU. To put your college football betting on these teams might be a risk because these top exciting teams doesn’t mean they are the strongest. But I like to bet on these kind of team because they produce the most winnings for me. So take a chance on these exciting teams and make the game much more exciting.

The Toronto Blue Jays seem to be struggling because their starting pitching staff has been plagued with injuries, perhaps the only bright light shining for the team is that ace left-hander Ricky Romero is the last man pitching. The Blue Jays could use a big effort from Romero when they face the Boston Red Sox in the rubber game Wednesday at Fenway Park. Toronto got a great performance from Aaron Laffey on Tuesday night, only to see the bullpen collapse and drop the Blue Jays into the cellar of the American League East. It’s not just the Blue Jays who were plagued with injuris, the Boston Red Sox, which managed to move one game ahead of Toronto and trail the New York Yankees by 6 ½ games, now is trying to survive its own spate of injuries. Winners of 10 of 13, the Red Sox can move a season-high five games above .500 with a victory in the series finale. Lefty Jon Lester will match with Romero for the second time this season. Romero limited the Red Sox to one run on three hits in a season-high 8 1/3 innings on April 11.

A lot of newcomers in the sports betting arena have been committing costly basic errors which lessen their profits and give them huge losses. This leads to a lot of them playing it safe: They just try their luck by betting small amounts of money, not overly worried if they win or not. However, there is no harm in learning a few tricks and simple safeguards which could spell the difference between winning big and losing a month’s worth of rent. Not only the beginners, but more experienced bettors should also follow these simple guidelines to follow in sports betting. • Do not place competing bets, making you bet against yourself in one event. This means betting on two players who are going against each other in one event. This way, you are not guaranteeing a big one, but subjecting yourself to a sure los. • Stay away from betting on long-odds glamour bets, which have huge chances of not happening. An example is getting the correct score and the first scorer double bet. This happening is very unlikely, and prices offered on this are considerably smaller than the probability of a positive outcome. • Do not bet on the first price you see at your regular sportsbook. You should shop around and check other online sportsbooks that offer wildly contrasting odds on sporting events. There are huge opportunities to profit big by choosing the right odds at the right time. You can use an odds comparison website to know which sportsbook offers the best odds and payout on the even you’re interested to bet on. • Don’t be tempted to bet on the team or player you support just because of you’re a fan. This is one of the sure ways to bleed cash. Be smart and trust the result of your research. Bet on the most likely outcome, and not because of your allegiance to your favorite team or player. • Avoid following betting trends, unless you have good reason. A lot of beginners, especially those betting on horse races, jump on bandwagons when they see a horse’s price has been drastically shortened. This may be due to an unfounded rumor which is making other bettors think they should get on the bandwagon too. Do not join them—you’ll just be taking on a price that’s worse than that you could have bet on earlier in the day. Let it go and just be smug about it, knowing that you’re not as foolish as those other bettors who just follow the herd. These are just a few of the basics. Know everything that there is to know before betting. Keep in mind that its basics before betting, and probability before price. And for the best online betting service, sign up and play on Sportsbook.com. This is one of the longest-running and most trustworthy online sportsbooks to put your money on, and the best service to use in improving your skills and boost your profits.
