Betting on a team all year long?

[DJJimGreen]

Hey all,

I'm sure this has been covered, but I couldn't seem to find anything on it..

I was looking at YTD stats and was wondering why folks don't bet on a team, year round, that has the W-L ratio in the positive. I'm talking Yankees, Red Sox, Angels.. where they are 30+ wins over losses.

The only thing that I could imagine being an issue is high lines for the teams and you not getting a fair amount of winnings to beat the amount you are losing.

Then my next question popped into mind. Whats the average lines on these teams that are #1 or 2 in their division?

Is it worth playing or will your winnings not equate to the amount you are losing when they lose, thanks to the juice..?

Gimmie your .02.. or an average line amount for the teams above mentioned.. That would be awesome.

Thanks guys!
Jim

why? cuz these top teams such as the yankees are always heavy HEAVY favs. Im saying -180 or higher. even tho they have .600+ winning percentage when they lose you loose a lot and when they win you win only a little.

Nothing wrong with betting with or against one team all year around every day. It just is like anything else and comes down to luck picking the right team.

You must have read only the first half of my post. I mentioned that the lines are probably the reason folks don't do this, but I was wondering.

Anyways.. BOL on picks.. Just curiosity getting the best of me.
