last year i bet on 1 game that was a -150 favorite. (whitesox vs A's) and that game was a 10 unit play for me. again at +140

just never seen you bet a 10 unit on football.

**bigboydan** · 02-09-06, 08:25 PM

IMG, I only bet 10 units on things i'm positive on

Yes, Oakland was the favorite and yes, the A's own the White Sox.

What should I look at if I want to cap a game??

**Illusion** · 02-10-06, 01:45 AM

Upcoming schedules, the entire series pitching matchups, pitchers last three starts, teams upcoming schedules, umpires (if you don't bet overnights) bullpen's era/whip, teams offensive stats the last few days. There's alot more, but those are the major ones.

**imgv94** · 02-10-06, 01:51 AM

I heard from many people, here and from people outside from
here that its good to bet streaks?? Also ILL in what % of games
in baseball would u say u bet are above +105 odds?

**onlooker** · 02-10-06, 01:53 AM

I hate to bet anything over -135 in base img. Sometimes I will do a -140/-145, but dont usually. Mostly betting them doggie dogs brother.

**Illusion** · 02-10-06, 01:54 AM

Over +105 would be close to 85% im.

**imgv94** · 02-10-06, 01:56 AM

doggie dogs!!! thats what I am talking about!!! so what you guys gonna
do? gonna play any heavy unit games early? how much in to the
season will you start betting higher unit plays?

Going to grind out the first few weeks. To see how the teams come out of the gate. I dont usually hammer games in the first few weeks. It all depends on what you find in the matchups early. So its hard to say right now.

**Illusion** · 02-10-06, 01:59 AM

Just like any other sport I will start small, but come May I will let loose.

**imgv94** · 02-10-06, 02:07 AM

I already know I am going to be a sucker for the yankees! I see them
winning 98-104 games this year. With you guys never betting under
-135, does that mean you never ever play the yankees?

**onlooker** · 02-10-06, 02:08 AM

Pretty much.

But I wouldnt never say ever.

Would need a good price, and a good matchup in my favor.

**bigboydan** · 02-10-06, 02:12 AM

IMG, by the time i go to bet on the yankees. the prices are just inflated way too much for me to even touch.

**Illusion** · 02-10-06, 02:12 AM

The Yankees are always huge favorites and lose money just about every year.

**Illusion** · 02-10-06, 02:14 AM

Trust me, you are gonna fade teams like New York (both teams) Atlanta, Boston and St. Louis alot this upcoming season.

You forgot the White Sox.

**bigboydan** · 02-10-06, 02:18 AM

i can think of a few other teams off the top of my head ILL. but, thats a perty good list to start with.

teams like ATL, Mets, and Boston will be good to fade thru the first 80-90 games. the yankees might be a good fade thru the first 100 games.

The Dodgers are a great fade all year long, lol.

Yeah, but if they treat me like they did last season. They will be blacklisted again. Didnt matter what side of the game I was on with the Nats, it always seemed to go wrong.

**Illusion** · 02-10-06, 02:35 AM

I had the same trouble with the Mets last season.

It might not help, but I live 3 miles from Dodger
Stadium, I think I know that team pretty well..
I'll try to figure out the Dodgers..

**imgv94** · 02-10-06, 02:40 AM

I bet the yankees last year, I lost at the track and came home and
bet the yankees cause I needed a fix, they won 19-4 or 22-4 something
like that.,

i know a few of the dodgers players IMG. so that will help

**imgv94** · 02-10-06, 02:47 AM

Dodgers always start out good early in the season. Expecting barely above
.500 maybe 90 wins at most. I think.

**Illusion** · 02-10-06, 02:50 AM

The only thing the Dodgers are good for is unders. Especially in Dodger Stadium.

**imgv94** · 02-10-06, 02:52 AM

Thinking about every Dodger game I have been to, I would say
most of them went under. Whats O/U usually in baseball 9?

**Illusion** · 02-10-06, 02:53 AM

Around 7.5-9. Games at Coors are usully 11-13

**imgv94** · 02-10-06, 03:00 AM

How about if two ace pitchers with 2.00ERA's are pitching?
What will the O/U be?

**Illusion** · 02-10-06, 03:02 AM

Usually 6.5-7.5

**presley177** · 02-10-06, 04:07 AM

Would 5 dimes be a better baseball book for strictly overnight lines? Is there any book out there that matches there nickel lines?

**bigboydan** · 02-10-06, 12:33 PM

5dimes would be a must! if you are betting strictly overnites.

**maritime** · 02-17-06, 03:56 PM

Good thread, just found it. Baseball is my passion and I'm looking forward to this betting season with great anticipation.

img, this trend has been a moneymaker for me for years. Bet against a starting pitcher returning from the disabled list, pitching his SECOND game back from injury. The second game seems key. Generally, the first game back they have a "short leash" and don't pitch deep into the game and their adrenalin is pumping...they may do decent. But hammer against them on that second game back from the DL.
