Americans love betting on NCAA football, and more and more of the Canadian public is beginning to understand the joy and profitability of doing so themselves. The NFL is one of the most-watched sports leagues in the world, and each of the players who participate in those games were once part of the college crowd. As such, the stakes are high - not only for the bettors, but also for the players who are participating in the games.

Regular Season

The regular season for NCAA football begins directly after registration which is usually the first Saturday in the month of September. The good thing about these events is that there are naturally going to be some teams who are basically shoo-ins for the playoffs and therefore the championships, so it's completely possible to place smart wagers all season long and come out a winner in the end. Of course, you'll be rewarded more handsomely if you can bet on the underdog and they win, but this can be quite risky.

Bowl Season

Even people who don't watch or follow NCAA football during the regular season can get up when it comes time for the Bowls. These include names that almost everyone knows, including the Sugar, Fiesta, Orange, Rose and others. During these events, the money really pours into these sites and the stakes go up significantly. Now is the time for people who are loyal to their teams to place wagers that they will win - or for those who simply bet for profit to attempt to make a buck.

Available Bonus Offers

Regardless of the website at which you choose to bet on NCAA games, you'll likely be able to take advantage of a bonus offer of some sort if you are new to the site. For instance, some establishments will give you a free wager that you can place, though some restrictions will apply and the amount provided is generally quite small. You may also be able to take advantage of a deposit match in which the bookmaker simply matches whatever you deposit by a certain percentage up to a maximum amount.

How to Make Money

For those who are interested in placing wagers on these events for the sheer purpose of making money, there are some things to keep in mind. First of all, the people who actually make a living with these wagers treat it just like a full time job. Their hours are consumed with footage and the analysis of statistics that allows them to make the best choices possible. You will need to consider things such as the individual players on a team, whether or not injuries have been reported (even during training), whether the game is at home or away, and even the expected weather.

NCAA football is a fantastic and fun-filled time for many, and people on any budget can log in and place a friendly wager on the team of their choice. Of course, there is some real money to be made as well - as long as you do your research and play smart.
