How to Win at Betting Baseball

sweet...nice work GAME

Lot of good stuff here, BUT throw out comparasins to college  sports,  in football they play only a few games which actually define their season. and of course the talent level has a great disparity in it. some students dont go to college to get smart, college is just a platform for them to sharpen their skills and look to move onto the pros. do you think anyone who went to harvard  ever decided to play professional ball ? But ill bet they turned out a shit load of lawyers. So that leaves you with the professional sports. basketball and hockey, the cream usually rises to the top, the more skill and talent you have, the greater the probability that you will win and there is more room for error in these sports.  football, 1 play can completely change the outcome of a game, ex. pick-6, a returned fumble. Baseball you dont have to have alot of skill to win. Hows that ? no pitcher has that much control to pitch a ball within 1 inch of his exact intended target most of the time, but missing your target by only that much can easily be the difference between a pop out to a homerun, a strikeout to a foul ball. if you had a pitching rotation that had  supreem accuracy to the inch, then you wouldnt need infielders or an outfield. no pitcher is that accurate so the playfield is always a little more even on game day and public perception of favorites is always inflated so there is always value in dogs in baseball. 

I love it man gets better everytime thank you

what up game hunter, king of mlb.

 to all this baseball season...

Great Stuff Game Hunter

Looking forward to the Reg Season.

GL this year

 

Gamehunter, can't wait for your bags plays this season.

This is gonna seem like a revalation compared to all this good info here but...

The way to win at baseball betting is to pick winners.

Now, don't you all feel better.

There is no sure fire system, but if you choose wisely, do your due diligence, and manage your money wisely, YOU TOO can win at baseball betting. It's all about the pitching in baseball and the prices involved.

Gamehunter,

Props to you for taking the time to explain these wagering strategies to all....I fully subscribe to most of these methods (and theoretical or not, they do work admirably).

I am also a big proponent of "reverse" runline wagering on "live" dogs.....any thoughts on this?

Cheers......

 

How many baseball games do you usually play a day....if you can give me an estimate.

 

thx

I dabble in the reverse runlines but it's not easy to get down on them.....the Braves went almost 6 months without winning a game by only one run. They were golden on the reverse runline. I think they are an interesting proposition and I do advocate using them.

I play between 5-8 plays on a regular card but I may be looking to play less games this year.

The best part of this information to me was that it caused me to do a mental checklist and evaluation of the factors that I consider before a baseball wager.  As with any "system" there are always components outside standard that factor in.  GH, I enjoyed your defense from the critics all most as much as the original content!  Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this wonderful information


Question, do you post your picks in advance and do you add more plays throughout the day or just leave what you had at first?

I just follow you and win   that's it PERIOD!!!!!!

Less is better Gamehunter

All the best to your 2010 season buddy  

GH;

Best of luck this year!

I keep a copy of this report in my breifcase, and read it on occasion at lunch.

Just simply increedable info.

As always thanks for all the postings thru the year!

GH, thank you for sharing insight, concept, and strategy on the handicapping complexity of MLB,,great thread, with informative stats attached, do you use saber-metrics in your stat analysis

 

I think he reffered to those as team totals.  Allot of the fraks game he left with a 1 run or game tied and he got a no decision.

 

Great stuff Game, can't wait to hear ya on the radio again.

 

Did you ever answer my question about the Reds and the weather?

 

keep the grind going and not let the clowns keep you down.

 

what great info, thanks for taking this time to educate us hunter, i'm a totals backer, any particular insights on betting the totals you can throw my way.

Umpires, umpires, umpires.....after the first game of a series, you know who the home plate umps will be for the rest of the series. Certain umps are pitcher friendly and certain umps are hitter friendly. Covers has great stats in the baseball section on each umpire. Use the info to your advantage.

Great insight and much appreciated GameHunter
