How to Bet on the College World Series

For some reason, the college baseball World Series has never become as popular as its brethren in college football and college basketball. However, the lack of popularity does not mean there is no money to be made on the sport. Sometimes, the lack of overall knowledge and fanfare can lead to favorable betting lines.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1. Locate a website that takes bets on the College World Series. With the tougher gambling laws recently initiated, utmost caution should be adhered to. Not all sites are reputable.

2. Determine which team is playing best heading into the college World Series. Often the highest ranked team will not win the college World Series. The team that is playing the best baseball often wins over a more talented team.

3. Analyze the pitching staffs of each team. Good pitching beats good hitting almost every time in baseball. So when betting on the college World Series bet on the team with the strongest pitching staff.

4. Pay attention to significant movement in the betting lines. If the spread moves significantly that means that more money is coming in on the other side of the betting line. The change in betting lines can be caused by a myriad of issues from injuries, player or team news, or the betting line itself.

5. Check each team's specific mindset. Are there reasons for a specific team to rally together? Did a star player get suspended or injured? Is this a coach's last year before retiring? Sports are played with emotion and if a certain team has an extra incentive to win the series, they often do.
