    Dumb bet?

    Thinking of putting $$$ down on both games that no runs will be scored in 1st inning... Dodgers/Cards is at -170 and Giants/Nats is at -140... Basically I'd have to put up $160 to win $100... Anybody had any luck with these? Out of the 6 games there has only been 1 run scored in the 1st... Seems to me I could at least push and lose $35 or $25 depending on which game scores in the 1st...

    terrible bet. all it takes is 1 swing to fuk you. And in an inning where pitchers are trying to get settled in.

    Yeah... There's always that chance but that's why it's called gambling... I honestly wanna take St Louis +1.5 but thought this 1st inning bet was interesting

    Agreed. RollinDo tried this stuff the last month and it doesn't work out at those minus dollars. Might as well bet the "coin flip" in an NFL game. Got to go with riff on this one. Your money could be placed elsewhere. BOL tonight.

    Yes on Runs in the 1st in the Cards/LA is interesting. My guy has it at +170. Why not take a shot. All it takes is 1 run to win. Dont care how or who.

    True.
    It's pretty much luck.
    I bet 2 of these in the beginning of playoffs and lost.
    They are streaky.
    Try your luck, but better to bet on game total usually.
    I had won 15 out of 22, but then faltered...ended up with probably a 20-17 record, but lost overall with the juice.

    Hey. Don't kick yourself over it man.
    We can work together next season to be selective in this prop.
    I wanted to play it the last 4 games and missed out, but I am ok with that.

    If you like this sort of wager, always go with the plus money so you dont lose the juice on what is basically a coin flip.

    The odds have got to be better than a coin flip right? Or else it would just be a PK

    For the record Nats have scored in the 1st inning 32% of the time and Giants 30%... A lot better odds than a coin flip

    Yeah easier said than done... I'll probably stay away again... Shoot these teams can't score in 5 innings

    Good hit. I used to play these from time to time too. But you will find in the long run it is a total crapshoot. A lot of under games will often give up an early run and vice versa.

    Nice job man.
    I was more confident in the Cards No Score than the Giants game...Gio been shaky in the early going.
    He lost 2 of these No Score bets for me...only did it 2x with Nats this year...Both Gio games and he blew it...Nats didn't score tthouh.

    And I NEVER can watch the games I bet totals or No Score props...too much tension.
    I don't even look at the score on phone during 1st Inning when I play that No Score Prop.
    I lost about 8 units on Under bets in the last 5 weeks of the regular season...After going 60% on Under from June to late August...brutal times.
    Just don't fall in love with this No Score Prop...I think on about every playoff game, if there has been No Score in 1st, game has gone Under anyways. In games that have gone Over, I believe most have had a score in 1st.
    Sometimes a good No Score Opp will come a day after a high scoring game with 2 pitchers that have a decent (Under 4) ERA in 1st Inning...In a game with a total of around 7.5

    I'm thinking of betting the first innings of the first games of the ALCS and NLCS because they should be low scoring games with all 4 teams throwing out there best pitchers... Plus it always seems like adrenaline and nerves always favors the pitcher and that 1st inning is all adrenaline and nerves... Could be wrong though...
