Hi all.

Am a noob when it comes to Baseball.
I have just started betting on it with Good help from Tips here.
Currently am only playing on the money lines,(5dimes),, and trying to learn as i go...

However, lol. I only understand 50% of what you talk about here.
So if someone will take the time to "translate" these words or shortens
Also, is there any one who have a spreadsheet to keep track of winning and losses?
Some i have a hunch of what it it,but am asking anyway...

And yea you probably get a good laugh of this hehe.
But am trying to learn,,,that's all :-p

Think i got the basics here lol.. Thankfully for all help i can get

1. Is there somewhere there is a noob FAQ for all this?
2. 1 Unit ? (+56 Units)
3. An example i saw... (A) 15-10 (B) 7-3 (C) 2-1
4. V1 V2 V3
5. M/L or R/L
6. small leans - regular leans
7. Pushes
8. 1% of bankroll .. guess that 1% of your cash balance?

2) A unit is just another name for a size of bet that is normal for your bankroll. If my bankroll is $1000, a normal sized unit would be around $10-$50 depending on what your preference is.

5) ML is a moneyline (betting on a team to win straight up). RL is a runline in baseball (-1.5 runline means the team you bet on has to win by 2 runs or more).

6) A "lean" is just someone's prediction for a game. I guess a regular lean is a normally sized edge for a given bet? Your best bet is to do your own research and not follow leans.

7) Ties?

8) Your bankroll is the amount of money you have available to bet with. This does NOT mean all of your assets. Keep your betting money separate. Many people bet no more than 5% of their bankroll on any given bet because it is easy to go broke otherwise.

3 and 4 refer to systems. A is the first bet, b the 2nd, and c the 3rd.
the v thing refers to different versions on systems

OK thanks both of you!

Am playing at 5dimes. Wondering if there is some who have a spreadsheet i can have,
or let me know where i can get/buy one?

Thanks for all help so fare.

Wondering if this was newbie luck or... I think I might be doing something right here

974 Chicago White Sox -162* vs Kansas City Royals WIN
960 Milwaukee Brewers -185* vs Pittsburgh Pirates WIN
975 Texas Rangers -128* vs Oakland Athletics WIN
962 St Louis Cardinals -154* vs Colorado Rockies WIN

SBR has a spread sheet you can actually use and constantly fill out to keep track of your plays. Its on the top right in the square with your username.


This is yours to fill out....

"bet dogs" like greyhound ??

Well am not into that, i have bean playing on the betting odds for the last 20 yrs or so (don't recall the name of the company, but it was in England)
way back to when we used to send money in an envelop along with our coupons lol.
But it was time to move to a new arena,, tried Poker, went ok for a while and got stuck in my "own play", so got bored and quit played it.

So now am really trying hard to learn Basketball and Hockey, now the football season starts who i have played for many yrs but not on these sites.
Its a trill when you see things go your way. Learning fast and trying to hold back a bit.
I might do stupid bet if you look at the money I risk, but have done pretty goods since i started 6-7 days ago.
Check my sheet i placed all there, and if tonight's games also go in, well am up from my starting cash $300 to over $2000 in few days.
Not so bad if you ask me.

Thanks to helpful tips and picks here and there, and some common sense its not rocket science hehe.
Anyway, I know its ups and downs, and am on a roll right now, lets hope it last a while

By the way, is there any good places to watch the games live on the Internet?

Thanks for helping out.
