Great info, research. Last year was my first full year of betting baseball. I lost in April, lost a little less in May, and finished strong on the right side of the ledger beginning in June. Patterns began to develop that just aren't there early on, especially with Run Lines (Phillies and Red Sox mostly), where my average win was probably +115, +120. Thinking of waiting until May to even make my first baseball bet. Betting baseball is definitely a different animal and I believe you've given some great insight to all of us. Thank you!

I'm gonna try baseball this year and my bets to start out are going to be embarrassing small.  I know the horses and sorta understand the value betting.  I've always thought the value bet is best because of the obvious reasons.  I'll be lurking and watching the Hunters plays.

GL,    Doc

I would say that this is very bad advice.

Play as many games as you have an edge on.  Todays 5th best game might be better than tomorrows best game.  It is a mistake to limit yourself to a certain number of games on an arbitrary time period that you define that has no statistical meaning.

GL this season.

Since I have been on covers I have seen this site take a turn for the worse with all the bullshit and guys being sent to the box and getting kicked off for acting like 12 year olds..... this post was truly refreshing reminded me again why we all do this stuff and showed me there are still guys on here who are still about the sport of capping and not all that other garbage I see on here. Ill be following you this year thanks again for the good work I needed that

Moderators send guys to the Penalty Box here? Really? Is it always justified?

Thanks for the kind words FoCo and best of luck this season.

When Vanzack talks, people should listen; kind of like the old EF Hutton commercials. I endorse this post 100%.

Seemed to happen almost everyday in the CBB forum.... It is justified IMO because guys turn this into testosterone.com and try and prove something to guys they dont even know which turn into fights and shit talking and before you know it a thread that was started about an actual game has 100 replies in it and none of them are about the game anyways I am hoping baseball will prove to be a lil bit more professional ( for lack of a better word)
