ANECDOTE

Hawaii Kicker Parlay Story

  • He even wants a photo of the kicker for the studio wall to commemorate the wild finish.
INSIGHT

Early-Season Volatility Drivers

  • Early-season college football shows recurring problems: young players make mistakes and coaches mishandle clock management.
  • Those two factors create volatile outcomes and high-variance bets in week zero and week one.
ADVICE

Be Cautious Early-Season

  • Avoid heavy long shots and large spreads early in the season when clock miscues and rookie mistakes are common.
  • Shop markets and prefer points or smaller stakes until teams settle in.
