    Important message from SBR on betting baseball.......................

    Baseball OddS

    There are those in the gaming world who will tell you that betting baseball is the easiest of the four major sports. For starters, don’t believe them because it’s the same linesmakers working in the same sportsbooks who set the numbers for the NBA, College Football, College Basketball and the NFL.
    Seasoned players will tell you and many of those gentlemen would be happy to show you I’m sure, that there’s no discernible edge when betting MLB. The men who set the baseball odds do so with the same energy they spend on other sports.

    You do get an advantage (which applies to all sports) when you do your homework. If you’re new to wagering on baseball, it helps to know about the most popular categories of wagering on our national pastime

    Yet these same linesmakers shit their pants when you bet 5K on a baseball game, yet don't bat an eye on a 40K NFL spread bet. Come on, pal. The limits at most books are 1/10th of what they will take on an NFL game.

    MLB vs. NFL

    Close to 15 games a day as opposed to 15 a week...

    5 Starting Pitchers and 3-4 Relievers as opposed to 1 Starting QB...

    This alone makes the job for the books much harder during the summer...

    Bobby himself has made me money with his workman like aggression towards certain +EV plays, a tremendous attribute when one is a "luck box" like Bobby...................no question about it that 20 years from now he will be nearing HOF status as a LV GAMBLER.....................on more than a couple occasions, he has made us both several hundred bucks simply by having the energy to attack +EV plays.
