This bowl season has been an unusual one. More players are opting out and transferring away than anytime I can remember in my 47 years on Earth. The NIL deal has made college football players essentially become free agents after each season and they can take payment to transfer. They also see zero sense in playing in a post season game if it is a zero sum gain.
As a result, betting interest in bowl games has been impacted. You can tell this by the lack of Bowl contests at online sportsbooks. The sportsbooks you usually see offering these contests simply are not doing so this year. Luckily there is a new contest on the scene.
SportsBettingOnline.ag has launched their “2023 Beat the Bookie Contest” for the bowl season. Essentially, if you pick games better than their head linesmaker then you get a payout. The only catch is that you will have to have actually bet some real money on the bowl games as well. Below you can find the details from SBO:
1. Contest is live at the start of the 2023 College Bowl Season.
2. Contest is exclusive for active customers. Every active customer gets one entry. An active player is someone who has money in their account and has made football bets this season.
3. The head bookmaker at SBO will make 20 picks (sides and totals) for the 2023 College Bowl games.
4. Every active player will also make 20 (sides and totals) picks for the games. The active players must add their picks before the start of the first game of the Pro Bowl Season on Saturday, Dec. 16th at 11 am ET. After the start of this game, the contest will be closed and there is no chance to add their picks.
5. If you beat the bookmaker percentage you will get a no-rollover bonus based on your average bet for the bowl season.
6. The bookmaker picks will be released once the first game of the Bowl Season starts.
7. Your picks will be graded after each game finishes and all accounts (winners) that beat the bookie will be published and credited on January 2nd.
How to win?
The head bookmaker makes 20 picks and wins 17. You make 20 picks and win 18. You will win a bonus equal to your average bet during the Pro Bowl Season.
