Hess, I ain't paying $200 for that. That's been my system all along. Any casual baseball fan who watches Baseball tonight a few times a week can make $ betting on baseball. Real talk. 

Now that I put my foot into my mouth....I plan on posting every single bet I make from day one. Hopefully it lasts all season long, but I plan on starting with $20 and building from there.

As of now, I plan on taking UNC, Butler, and WVU all at least 1 unit tomorrow. We'll see what I ACTUALLY do in the afternoon.

^ Go for it, but you might want to wait a week or so. My whole philosophy if you will, is based off of the stronger teams and pitching matchups. Sometimes it takes about two or three weeks to see who are good strong bets.

Last year around the all-star break I threw in $20 and came out at the end with $535. That's $5/game on a 63% clip for the rest of the year. I did as many games as I could given how much I had in my account and how many five dollar bets that would cover.

I had my bad days, but in the long run, if you know the winners and losers within each division, you can get ahead pretty good.

Alright dudes. I lied. I woke up this morning and looked at the odds for fun and ended up betting on 4 games. Couldn't resist. Nonetheless my picks were:
Atlanta vs. Cubs (Atlanta -133)

Cleveland vs. White Sox (CWS -155)

Washington vs. Philadelphia (Philly -210)

Seattle vs. Oakland (Seattle -127)

So far I'm 3-0....No matter what happens with the M's, I've started off the MLB season just as I hoped.

I'll post my picks for tomorrow later.

Who did you lay 20 units on about a month back?

 

[651akathepaul]

Tomorrow: Still getting a feel for this season so I wouldn't put much stock into these. (4-0 on the year)

NYY vs. Boston (Boston -145)
SF vs. Houston (Houston -140)
Colorado vs. Milwaukee (Milwaukee -140)
San Diego vs. Arizona (Arizona -170)

 

[copped]

^i'll mirror you just for fun...since i have zero clue about baseball i did yanks on opening day and lost lol

 

[ahs430]

I also went (4-0) yesterday with Seattle, Philadelphia, Arizona, and St. Louis. Nice $200+ yield.

Today, I have Oakland (-140), Arizona (-165), and Tampa Bay (-175).

I won when I put the 20 units.

Good game none-the-less. Always fun to be in the game for march madness.

[swizz] On to the next one [/swiss]

 

[whutizit]

Mariners +121

 

[651akathepaul]

I'm headed towards 1-3 tonight. Sorry copped. I'm at 5-3 (60%) for the year.

Tomorrow's picks:

Cleveland vs. White Sox (CWS -170)
Colorado vs. Milwaukee (COL -105)
San Francisco vs. Houston (SF -150)
Dodgers vs. Pittsburg (LAD -160)

 

[copped]

^lol its okay...didn't expect them all to be correct.

 

[proshares]

I'm a little iffy on taking the Cleveland/CWS game. I'm not a big fan of Peavy and Carmona looked amazing this spring. Think this is his bounce back year.

I thought about that too, and it's why I don't like betting so early on in the season. I like to at least see each pitcher throw twice before I start to get a good read, but oh well.

 

[ahs430]

Phillies over Nationals
Mets over Marlins
Dodgers over Pirates
Cardinals over Reds
Giants over Astros
Braves over Cubs
White Sox over Indians
Tigers over Royals
Diamondbacks over Padres
Rangers over Blue Jays (-1.5)

 

[651akathepaul]

1-3 Tonight. 6-6 overall. For tomorrow:

Dodgers vs. Pittsburgh (LAD -150)
St. Louis vs. Cincinnati (CIN Even)
