    How the HELL does anybody make money this time of year?
    Baseball is the only game that I know well that's going right now but jesus christ, it's truly a fukkin coin flip every single game. Doesn't matter if a team has a far superior pitcher AND a far superior lineup, it's still basically a 55/45 likelyhood any given day.

    I started this baseball season with a decent bankroll from football season primarily and combined with some basketball I won a bit, then lost most of it.

    I've been looking into peoples threads here, systems, etc but it seems like they all hit about 45-50 percent best case, alot of them seem to start strong or involve people talking a big game then hitting at an impressive 40 percent clip...

    Now I'm seeing alot of comments and threads of others, clearly in the same position, talking about holding tight until football season or just taking a break, but the thing is, I'm not a bitch.

    I don't want to give up, I want to figure out a way to consistently make money during baseball season.

    All that being said, this is probably not the best place to be asking since I don't think there are many professionals/winners browsing the boards daily but I'm at a loss and want to try to find out what winning bettors do during weak stretches to grind out profits.

          What's the confusion? It's pretty straightforward - most of the threads here aren't showing consistent gains, so what the hell have people done in the past to make money during baseball season?

          Or is it best to give up on baseball and start learning soccer?

          I'm not sure what exactly 'mmmkay' is supposed to articulate, maybe english isn't your first language?

                Bet tennis, soccer. Plenty of other things out there to bet on, no need to limit yourself to MLB

                        i was hot as a firecracker before all-star break and right afterward too...

                        Lately ive been ice cold. I dont have a good read right now, and i think the problem is i am too worried about looking for value and i'm over thinking the games.

                        Teams like the Cubs and Padres cannot be trusted, i'm done with both of those teams after tonight.

                        they cant hit worth a damn

                          All of my points are from baseball. I can't lose. I've made quite a few bucks too these last few weeks. I should be posting my plays, but I know it would probably backfire.

                              You said it how games are 55/45. Just hit a couple of big dogs each night and you are likely to be on the positive side of things .

                                This is why this thread is dumb.

                                If the team with the "far superior" pitcher and "far superior" lineup is only winning 55% of the time and you don't have any idea how to make money then you need to stop gambling immediately. By your logic betting every heavy underdog would leave you raking in money hand over first.

What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?

                                        by working a job (making money) and then not placing a single wager.... until NCAAF & NFL start up

                                        the best time to play MLB was after all-star break when teams went on runs, both win streaks and losing streaks

                                                MLB after Aug 15th
                                                is not a good time.

                                                Good Luck.
