Interest in Colorado Football Way Up at Sports Betting Sites, but Starting from Down Low
Sports betting sites are seeing players stampede toward markets involving the Colorado Buffaloes, something that hasn`t happened for a long time — and with good reason.
That`s because Colorado is the talk of the college football scene, as former NFL star Deion Sanders (a.k.a. Coach Prime) has engineered a quick turnaround for the program in his first year at the helm. 해외 배팅사이트 안전주소 추천The Buffs started their season with an exciting win against a ranked opponent, TCU, before outpacing Nebraska last weekend. Fanatics Sportsbook, which isn't even live in Colorado, said the Colorado-Nebraska matchup was its busiest college football game of the week "by far." 해외 배팅 에이전시 주소 추천
And while Colorado will square off against a less-storied program this weekend in Colorado State, bettors are still flocking to the game and huddling around the excitement growing in Boulder. At BetMGM, the Buffs are the book`s biggest liability to win the national championship. 아시안커넥트 우회
"Colorado has been the most bet on team each week so far this season," BetMGM data analyst John Ewing told Covers in an email. ``We think they'll be the team with the most appearances again on Saturday.''
Serious Risk?
A similar trend is playing out at Tipico, who last week followed up the Buffs' win over TCU with Colorado. We reported that betting on the state to win the Pac-12 Championship has increased by more than 5,000%. Colorado State's odds to win the national title increased by 525% on him, and the size of the bet on two-way forward Travis his Hunter decreased his Heisman odds from +20,000 to +3,000.
Sports betting activity in Colorado is so intense that one investment bank analyst warned sports bettors about the repercussions they could suffer from betting on teams. According to Casino.org, Macquarie analyst Chad Beynon told customers that about 80% of betting participants last week were concentrated in Colorado, where the bets could be high.
Interest in Colorado is fueled by the excitement generated by Sanders and his son, quarterback Shedule Sanders. Sanders threw for 903 yards and six touchdowns in just two games and entered the Heisman conversation. Circa Sports reported Tuesday that Sanders' odds to win the Heisman dropped from +4,000 to +2,000 and Hunter's odds fell from +2,500 to +1,500 after the win at Nebraska.
However, the boom surrounding the Buffs may be particularly notable because the stakes on the team were previously so low. Colorado lost all but one game in 2022 and hasn't had a winning season since 2020, when the season was shortened due to the coronavirus.
"There is certainly a lot of interest in the Colorado State game this year," Jay Kornegay, vice president of horse racing and sports betting at Westgate Las Vegas Superbook, said in an email to Covers. He spoke at "But they've been feeding from the bottom for years, so they started at ground zero, so the increase in percentage is quite dramatic."
