    Slow summer of sports-betting

    Summer-betting is always slow. What is there to get excited about?

    NBA Playoffs - don't get too exciting until Conf Finals.

    Champ Lg soccer - winding down.

    English soccer EPL - Chelsea seemingly in control.

    Worst part about the Odd-years. No big Intl soccer tournament.

    Chucky we are going to manhandle the WNBA and the Canadian Football League this year.

    At least that's the plan.

    One of my favorite times of the year. After NBA playoffs I just sit back and take a break until first week college football.

    I might take a Sunday Night Baseball game here and there for like 0.3 of a unit or so... but it's tiring cranking out stats for 10 months. Need a 2 month break.

    I have to get things done around the house that I neglected to do the past 10 months

    It's non stop from September to June. Nice to have a lull for a couple months. Get out and enjoy the summer.

    I found MLB is the most profitable sport to bet on. Make money on these MLB games, then quit for the rest of the year

    Pretty cool idea. TdF would be a cool trip.

    My goal is to get to Europe in July. Want to see 5 countries and attend WTA Tennis in Switzerland.

    No major soccer-tourney, that's the killer.

    One sport I can't STAND = mls. Please, no more over-the-hill Euros. Stay in Europe, we don't care.

    Some golf/tennis, especially majors.

    My point is that summer sports-betting is so choppy. Unless you're betting MLB daily, very choppy.

    I hear ya. Will have to milk this last bit of soccer and NBA.

    MLS and tennis in the summer :|

    Might have to start tailing someone on bases.

    bosigga:

    I should add that I may in fact be the worst tennis-capper on the planet. If I like a side, it's sure to lose.

    Add in the fact that Tennis is a moneyline-sport. VERY HARD to get those tennis Dogs to the winner's circle.

    Rudy, my point is that a lot of tennis matchups are in the price range of: -400 vs +330.

    Right off the bat, this is a difficult proposition. 2 options that don't look good:
    * Heavy chalk that will net a small profit, or Big Dog that is unlikely to win.

    Can I price these matches better than the mkt? Fuk-no.

    Soccer pretty much year round. Yeah the big boys are winding down but Norway, Sweden, and others are cranking up. Not as good as WC and Euro, but feeds the action junkie.
