Especially when theres a big dog and they jump out to a 2-0 or 3-0 lead in say the 3rd inning. sometimes you can get them at damn near even money or around -120. This is a huge advantage IMO. Give me a 3 run lead and a 3rd of the game already over and I barely have to pay any juice. I'll take that all day. Momentum plays a huge factor in any sport. I'd much rather you spot me a few runs and tell me its now a 6 inning game and im up 3-0 and give me -125 on a dog rather than you give me +150 before the game starts and pray the game isn't over in the first inning. Getting spotted a nice lead and seeing if the pitcher on the dog team has it or not first before you bet is a huge advantage IMO.
