    I blindly took the Astros+221 today

    +221 at 5Dimes

    Giants are at -242. WTF???
    Giants have had trouble scoring runs in the last games.
    JJ Hap on the mound for the Astros.
    Baumgardner for the Giants.

    Hope my burial doesn't continue.

    Some people never learn. Respect the market place especially major markets. No such thing as a gift.

    Happ is the kiss of death this year. The Giants will discover offense tonight.

    Happ pitches today, IMO one of the worst starting pitchers in the majors. GL.

    Caberera just swings at the first pitch after ja happ walks the pitcher, bases loaded. typical.

    Giants can't score, but you couldn't expect the Astros and their single A lineup to score off bumgarner either.

    There is value on it, but if I can't see the Astros scoring 2 runs, I can't see a play on their ML.

    Giants are AAA on offense

    Happ pitching well against these guys.

    Clearly in the wrong division

    they scored on vogelsong, last 10 games the astros scored at least 3 runs in each game. 5 or more runs in 6/10 games. they may not score much tonite, we dont know, but there is evidence to suggest that they might.

    whats so great about bumgarner? last week he gave up 7 runs to the stros.


    like i said, they may not win, but at +221,

    thats called value and a good play.

    right now it;s 0 0... odds wise good play but keep in mind a -250 fav wont lose like 3 games in a row...
    just my two cents, im just sayin you have 50 50% to hit so +221 is wonderful price.

    BOL to all who tailed for me this was a no play as they won yesterday

    This game is 65/35 Giants, not 50/50.

    If it wins there was value

    Only a turkey burger would call a losing ticket valuable

    Not possible to call something value until after the game is over

    One can speculate on the value, sure

    I understand how this sounds, believe me... its a difficult concept for some to grasp but value is winning

    I'm convinced nobody on SBR knows anything about sports betting. And it has nothing to do with OP's thread and everything to do with the responses in it. God you guys are knuckleheads

    Value is winning after the fact.

    But for a discussion on gambling, the present and future are important to, and that is where value is important.

    Does anyone know if you would make a profit blind betting +200 underdogs in MLB?

    I'm guessing no.

    Stop being a chili dog

    Instead try to grasp what I am saying

    What is the "value" in a losing bet?

    The answer is simple, nothing.

    However before the game you thought there was value, because of the +212.

    In other words, they lured you like a hamster into a mouse trap.

    Thats called being a sucker, not a "value" better.

    Value is one of the most overused terms in sports betting.

    The giants have lost 3 of 4 games versus houston and you dont think +212 is value? And how is the astros a sure losing bet? The giants are the most overrated team in bases, they are shell of last year( injuries/repeat factor/luck running out). Any team at + money versus the Giants is a value bet.

    LOL, probably.

    You might make a profit if you only bet +200 favorites in August/September b/c teams do let up a little, plus, no one has much scouting for 40 man roster additions.

    Not any team. Don't go crazy. The Astros wouldn't be value at +110 or anything.

    If the Astros, win, absolutely it was a value bet.

    Proclaiming it a value bet right now when it hasn't cashed is asinine.

    No value whatsoever in losing.

    If you are trying to alter the definition of value thats another story

    It doesnt matter if the stros win pal. The number was too high because books knew so many would chase the giants. Houston won 3 of the last 4 meetings and yet they get +212. Thats value brother.

    This is where we disagree, its cool. Believe me, I fully understood what you are saying and would even go so far as to say I partially agree with you.

    Its kind of a strange topic. The concept of value in sports betting.

    I love how people think that this was a 50/50 game just because it's 0-0 in the 5th inning. Absolutely clueless.

    I actually said it was 65-35, but the reason they were saying that is b/c of how bad the Giants' offense has been lately.
