I come on here almost daily and read the threads intently almost never posting. There are a few things that irk me but I keep to myself tonight I realized that what I see in LV sportsbooks and often discussed betting strategies are simply never discussed here.
1. Why is no one playing the first 5?! If you are handicapping just starting pitchers. Even SBR's own John Ryan (who I do respect) often compares only the starters in his write up often ignoring the bullpens altogether. This was designed for this very purpose and of course to create more action.
2. Team Totals!- I see plenty of total plays. I handicap college football yr round and found last season in many lopsided one way point spreads that there was much more value playing ones team total over the overall game total. If Beachy is pitching tomorrow and facing a guy with a 6.7 ERA and the total is 8 and atl has a Team total of 4
-125 over dont you see that the books are tipping their cap in this situation?
3. Why is no one scalping or middling overnight lines? If nyy starts off at -125 balt +115 & the end line is nyy -147 balt +137 theres 22 cents of value without the sweat of a game in any circumstance.
4. Where are the steam bettors here? I realize don best is very expensive but youre on a site that updates every minute and shows when a team gets hit hard (it goes orange! Like look at me!) I realize this will get you banned or shortened limits in time from most shops but theres a reason why and big books arent worried about it if youre chasing steam in the 3 figure range.
5. I never see posts about finding a better price at this shop. The great thing about wagering online is having multiple books to shop at.
There are some very sharp minds on here and some decent cappers. I just dont know why these things are never discussed. Ive started a cfb thread where I was gonna post my plays but am starting to think no one will no one what im taljing about when i say i have 23 bets on clemson auburn and have no actual play. Are we all just looking to tail someone and not work on the fundementals?
