Need some MLB FUTURES strategy Advice

[Big Bear]

Aigh MLB sharps get in here

[Big Bear]

Okay fellas here is the deal.

I'm going to the casino on Saturday with 1,000 to bet on a MLB future.

[Big Bear]

Reason being is I dont have a favorite MLB team anymore. I used to be SF Giants fan win they had Barry Bonds....

but anyway should i bet 500 on 2 different teams to win the world series or a 1,000 on 1 team?

[k13]

Blue Jays.

[tto827]

That's a large future bet... Throw a bit down on the white sox at 150-1... You never know

[Smoke]

Tigers and rockies

[easyliving]

Brewers

[iifold]

Royals...

Shields, Guthrie, and Santana is a good trio for playoff baseball...

maybe if they had a change in manager.

[I/O]

Redbirds +$1200

Cardinals should win the NL central and at 14-1 are solid and would be my first choice.
Royals 20-1 ain't bad if they trade for a SP. Guthrie / Santana would be +140 in any playoff game they start.
Rays 28-1 or Dbacks 40-1 would be my other choices.

forgot about the Dbacks. Very solid team and still very underrated.

[Big Bear]

That would be pretty sweet to put 1K on D-Backs and win

40,000.

what do yall think about Tigers at 6-1?

[easyliving]

what do yall think about Tigers at 6-1?

very reasonable pick. Cabrera picking up where he left off very solid pitching rotation. At the moment can't really see anyone else winning the American League.

tigers

not a fan of the Tigers?

[onacloud]

not a fan of the Tigers?

no hes a Lakers fan from Chicago right?

most likely a Yankees fan as well

[Aussiefalconfan]

If you want REAL value Seattle

[Big Bear]

i see.

anyone like the Tigers at 6-1 odds?

i want to put money on a team that atleast is almost a guarantee to be in the playoffs

[face]

stick w/ one or two of the good teams. reds, giants, cards, tigers

I like the Cardinals future a little bit. At first i was really dissapointed in them for not re-signing Lohse but Miller has been outstanding. ( except for the one time i bet on him, got lit up by the Pirates and they didn't even have McCutchen in the line-up. )

Its funny you mention only the Tigers from the AL , so you think the Tigers got that pretty much locked up? what about Texas Rangers ... do u think they pose a threat?

As far the Reds.. i kinda feel like they are a great regular season team b/c they run a solid starter out there every night, have a great bullpen and a decent line-up.

But they are not hitting that great right now. But i don't know if they have world series potential just b/c Latos and Cueto are not really the same caliber aces as a Verlander, Darvish, Kershaw etc.....

If Seattle made the playoffs they might make some noise with Iwakuma and king felix but i don't see them getting there.

Detroit has no bullpen. Verlander and scherzer can't go into the 8th every game in the playoffs. They're a lock for the playoffs, but odds aren't giving you any value as the playoff system makes it a crapshoot for every team that makes it

true. who would have thought the giants would have won last year after being down 2-0 against the reds in a best of 5... especially going to cincinnati down 2-0

[ChalkyDog]

The main way I profit from MLB futures, is hedging. For instance, Tigers last year at +2000 right before they landed Fielder, gave me a real nice ability to hedge out for profit.

Tigers at 6-1 doesn't leave much hedging room.

[nofear1227]

Cardinals solid offense, 5 starters in the top 35 in ERA, and experience. Biggest flaw is a closer.

[Aaron McCrevice]

but anyway should i bet 500 on 2 different teams to win the world series or a 1,000 on 1 team?

only 1 team can win the world series

[tto827]

only 1 team can win the world series

Unless he finds a way to bet two teams at less than even money, I fail to see how that's relevant.

[Aaron McCrevice]

op how many teams are you betting will win the big game?

[Big Bear]

no i was saying instead of betting 1,000 on Tigers..

i could do 500 on Tigers and 500 on Cardinals
