College Sports Big Gambling Moneymaker
College sports gambling is a big moneymaker to the betting contingent, to the schools the players represent, to the TV and radio networks. In fact, everyone benefits monetarily except the actual participants in NCAA inter-collegiate athletics.
A sharp investor can make a windfall in college sports gambling, especially in the opening round of the Men’s NCAA Basketball Tournament.
Bird vs. Magic! Florida vs. Ohio State! Notre Dame vs. LSU! These are some examples of college games of vintage heritage that produced larger than life press coverage. Indiana State’s Larry Bird and Michigan State’s Magic Johnson squared off in the National Championship game of college basketball in 1979.This game is generally recognized as the impetus for the explosion of both college and professional basketball in the years subsequent to this epic contest. Bird did not have the supporting cast that Magic had at Michigan State, and the outcome was decided early in the second half. Bird, however, got his revenge as the Celtics topped the Lakers in 1984 to win the NBA crown.
 Of recent vintage, the Universities of Florida and Ohio State met this year in the National Championship contests in both basketball and football. Again, there was tremendous interest on the part of even the most luke-warm college sports gambling patron. The Florida Gators won both contests rather handily as favorites in basketball and underdogs in football. Backers of the Gators did well financially in these contests.
In fact, college sports gambling is a big business. The two major sports of interest on this level are the football and basketball games; however, there exists a modicum of interest in NCAA playoff games in the sports of baseball, soccer and lacrosse. Even women’s sports are gaining in popularity. The Women’s NCAA Basketball Tournament now inspires bracket contests while in the offices throughout the country, our demigods of business exchange conversation at the water cooler regarding their standing in the Men’s and Women’s NAAA basketball pool.
The football games are heavily bet and college sports gambling has increased dramatically over the past decade, buoyed by the opportunity for gambling on cyber sportsbook sites. Basketball betting on the college scene picks up interest around the time of end-of-season league tournaments, and explodes at the time of the NCAA Tourney and during the establishment of the office pools.
 A shrewd investor in college sports gambling can make a fortune on the Men’s NCAA Tournament, especially the opening round. I study the relative strengths of each league and try to make a killing in the first round of games. I do quite well with my system. In fact, most people do well except for the college athlete who receives no compensation for play. But if the athlete advances to the pros, it was worth the effort. The free education usually is compensation enough for the training and sacrifice. The college game in all sports is a great game, and college sports gambling can mean profits for those who invest time and discipline to the relative performances of the college teams.
