Hey guys, I've been betting on MLB matches for some time now. I found covers.com on accident and like the style how guys post their picks here and support each other.I gonna share my picks including some reasoning with you from now on.
I don't have a special system or something like that. I always bet 5u (0.25% of my bankroll) on overs/unders and 10u (0.5% of my bankroll) on MLs. I tend to stay away from all other kinds of bets.
