CFB AVAILABILITY ABROAD
College football coverage varies significantly at Latin American sportsbooks. Unlike NFL (universally available), CFB is more US-centric and international books cover it selectively.
The good news: major games are covered. Top 25 matchups, conference championships, bowl games, and the College Football Playoff all get full market treatment. Mid-major and FCS games? Much more limited.
⚠️ Limited Prop Markets
College football player props are restricted or unavailable at many international sportsbooks. This is partly regulatory (student-athlete concerns) and partly market demand. Expect game lines but limited individual player markets.
WHAT'S AVAILABLE
Typically Available:
- Top 25 vs Top 25 games: Full markets
- Power 5 conference games: Game lines, some props
- Bowl games: Comprehensive coverage
- CFP games: Full market treatment
- Rivalry games (Ohio State-Michigan, etc.): Enhanced coverage
Often Unavailable:
- Group of 5 non-marquee games
- FCS games
- Individual player props (touchdowns, yards)
- Same-game parlays with player props

CFB BETTING STRATEGY
Line Value
International books may have less efficient CFB lines than sharp US books. If you follow college football closely, your knowledge advantage could be significant—especially on games the international market doesn't follow closely.
Timing
Lines for Saturday games typically open Sunday night. Early bets get the best numbers. By Saturday, lines have been bet down by US sharps.
Focus on Major Games
Since coverage is limited, focus your CFB betting on games that are actually available. Quality over quantity—bet the games you can find rather than chasing obscure matchups.
🎯 Key Insight
If college football betting is your priority, consider opening accounts at multiple books. Stake often has broader game coverage, while Betsson/bet365 have sharper lines on marquee matchups. Use both for optimal coverage.
