In the world of sports betting, it can be hard to know who to trust when it comes to getting advice on where to put your money. This is especially true when it comes to college football, where the landscape can change drastically from week to week. In a new series called “Bad Gambling Advice,” we will be taking a look at some of the most dubious picks and predictions from around the internet each week.
For week 2, we turn our attention to sports blog Anchor of Gold, which made a particularly bold prediction for the highly anticipated matchup between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Texas A&M Aggies. In their article titled “Bold Predictions for Week 2 of College Football,” Anchor of Gold writer John Smith boldly declared that Texas A&M would pull off the upset and beat Alabama with a final score of 35-31.
While it’s always fun to see an underdog come out on top, this prediction seemed particularly far-fetched given the dominance of the Crimson Tide in recent years and their strong showing in week 1. Despite this, Smith doubled down on his prediction, claiming that Texas A&M’s strong defense would be able to contain Alabama’s potent offense and lead them to victory.
Unfortunately for those who took his advice, the game played out much differently than predicted. Alabama came out swinging, scoring early and often to take a commanding lead that they never relinquished. In the end, the final score was Alabama 52, Texas A&M 24, making Anchor of Gold’s prediction look particularly bad.
This is a reminder to always do your own research and take gambling advice with a grain of salt. While it can be tempting to follow the advice of experts, it’s important to remember that no one can predict the outcome of a game with 100% accuracy. In the unpredictable world of college football, anything can happen on any given day.
So, as we move into week 3 of the college football season, remember to trust your instincts and make informed decisions when placing your bets. And if you come across any particularly bad gambling advice, be sure to let us know so we can continue to shine a light on the worst picks out there.
