anybody bet baseball?

i crunched some numbers. i was thinking about betting on one team every single game of the season. and as long as they finish with 90+ wins i have a winning season.
i did this by averaging ML values (which came out to be about -150, since the team is most likely to be a powerhouse)

any input?

Seems like it wouldn't be worth it however. Underdogs and value are HUGE in baseball. I'm so heated the D-backs just lost me a bet by blowing a 2run lead in the 9th

Covered on Atlanta -2 and Cleveland -3 though. Broke a little above even today overall

Don't speak so soon; the Sox have the bases loaded here.

EDIT: Threat neutralized.

Hawks and Cavs.

^ that's basketball...


All baseball lines are -1.5 or +1.5

So Moneyline is the most common way to bet baseball, and is one of, probably the toughest to bet on

 

[kiddin like jason]

Oh.

 

[m00dswing7]

The Warriors are done.

I've seen guys just rape in baseball though... they do a great job with some sort of systems in figuring out the best values every night and end up+100 units or more for the season... ridiculous if you're betting anything at all on the games... Takes such patience though, man i wish i had the abilityto lay off stuff.

I really need to gamble soon... poker, dice, whatever.. i've got the itch.

 

[allen3xis]

^ yeah, the patience part is a big if with baseball tho, lol...but there are those who do extremely well


And I hear ya, it's been since CFB I haven't bet, and I'm dyin to

For me personally I never bet on baseball just because I do not know enough about it.

For basketball and football just like a few others have said it's about odds that don't seem right and spreads that stand out to you.

But most importantly go with your instinct.

scratch that #%*$ Craftsy!

I only have one play a day normally... last night I hope some of you jumped on my Portland +14... they covered by a point

Dallas was your typical sucker bet... Who in their right mind wouldnt take Warriors +5... well sportsinsights had 70 percent on the Warriors. That should tellyou to either bet the Mavs, or if your not comfortable with that then dont bet it at all.

GSW +5 looked too good to be true, and in betting when it looks like that, it usually is. Ill update more later when I come with tonights pick

One play a day? I definitely don't have the patience and/or the discipline for that

I usually am able to hit 60-65% so I am pretty consistent. But the publicfade play is always a good one. If you see 90% of the public on a team sometimes I'll just go the opposite no matter the game...btw where do u get yourpercentages? My boy had sports insights for a minute $%%$ was crazy with the info

wagerline.com gives you a good idea of where the public stands - not as official as sportsinsight, but a good reference nonetheless.
