Gimme some props: Best college football Future and Prop bets for 2018
By Chris Marler
Published:
Every year SEC fans wait for college football to kick off with anticipation and optimism wondering if this year will be their team’s year. Unless you’re a Vandy fan. Regardless, college football is great for a lot of reasons: the pageantry, the tradition, the ability to watch football without having to see Tom Brady or Roger Goodell. You know what my favorite part of college football is though? Gambling.
Don’t judge me. Sure that may have sounded like a “cry for help” or a “problem” as my mother calls it every year at Thanksgiving. But it’s only a “problem” if you’re losing, y’all. Sorry, mom, but Vegas Sportsbooks haven’t had a wining September in college football betting since 1988. I plan on keeping it that way too.
This season, in addition to co-hosting The SDS Podcast, your Uncle Chris will be breaking down the best SEC picks every Saturday. So, if you love SEC football, and you also love gambling, then hop on the money train this Fall for what I like to call “Parlays Down South.”
To kick off the year we look at my favorite/most profitable future bets as well as the most ridiculous and funny prop bets that will actually make you money. All courtesy from our friends at My Bookie …
