I'm with you schaap! I don't even know the rules of the game (like 99% of the europeans

)

baseball is probably my worst sport handicapping wise...however I did decide to play a 3 team parlay today since my CBB doesnt start till 6 haha. I went with dogs, betting pre-season games is dumb....betting preseason favs is even dumber. I went with Cincy, St. Louis and Arizona, so far the first two are looking solid, I hope arizona can make it happen. That would be a good start to MLB for me haha. It was $50 to win like $430 or something like that

Try and pick dogs only, about 3 per day and you will do ok from my experience. A few years back I jumped into a 2k contest and I only picked 3 dogs a day blindly following a handful of what appeared to be good MLB handicappers from their posted records and I finished 4th just out of the money. The winning percentage was real good. I may do the same this season as well. Maybe it is terrible advice, but it cannot hurt to try for a few weeks at small wagering amounts and see how you are doing. I noticed that things started turning with about a month remaining in the season, but for most of the season I was in 1st place using this method only. Maybe you can implement the idea, too. As I recall I just copied 1 underdog play from 3 cappers each day who had solid records posted on the season.

LIsten to everyone, follow no one.

Understand the ML.

I would never follow anyone's picks at anything because eventually everyone gets drilled. Guys get hot and they get cold. I would blindly bet and you will do ok and just stay away from big favs.

Zboiz claims to be the best... says he is a master and knows every single pitching staff in and out... he has a lot of trouble with nba/cbb. But time will tell....

Wow Cincy tried to blow that one for me...Zona's up 5-0 in the top of the 5th.....this would deffinately be a nice start to the baseball season for me if this holds

I seem to recall treece and cabo doing well in some of the contests last summer, schaap. But like Slick said, learn from everyone and tail nobody. Picking spots for dogs is good, like The General mentioned and I know LT loves diamond doggies. I occasionally like to play a run line or two or three, but don't tail me as I'm never out to make next month's rent check on a wager.
