    MLB Player Props 2012

    Hello everyone,

    For me, MLB is just unpredictable to bet(that's why I follow people in this forum for mlb picks), so I started betting player props last year and had some little success. I mostly play "no RBI" and "no run". Here are things that I consider for picking player props:

    - Opponents pitchers are at least number 3 starters(based on my estimation), sometimes I play number 4 and 5 pitchers.

    - Hitting order.

    - Bat vs Pitch.

    Note:
    - Odds are usually from -150 to -200.
    - Win or lose, it's just an experiment.

    The most telling stat was you were 7-4 and up less than a half unit. The high cheese is going to hurt in the long run. Where do you play these?

    Actually, I was down .2 unit at 7-4(mistake in calculation). I agree with you that those high odds(greater -200) are going hurt, but we'll see(I kind of try to stay away, but can't resist). I play these at 5dimes under Baseball -> Props, other books should also have them.

    It was unlucky, Montero got the RBI with a solo home run in the 11th. Valencia got the RBI with a single in his last at bat with two outs and two strikes.

    Looks like a lot of fun to play these props but I doubt you could be successful without playing the yes side because the juice is so high on the no side.

    Yeah, it's fun because it's pretty much an one on one battle between batter and pitcher. I think I'm a square so I kind of don't like playing the yes side. But, I'll just keep doing it for a while, and see how it works out. Thank you for your inputs and comments.

    I'm not saying switch completely to the yes side...just mix a few plays in here and there. If you find two you like at +160 all you need to hit is one to show a profit. It you play two at -180 you have to hit both or you're down almost a whole unit. Just my unsoliticited advice...seems like long term betting only heavy faves is a losing proposition.

    I agree with you. But sometimes, when I think a yes side will hit, I would rather not playing it. I don't have that mentality to pull the trigger. I really appreciate your advise.
