If you bet 100 dollars every game on the Giants, Mets, and Tigers this season (money line)
You would have lost a little over 8400 dollars.
Tigers and Giants were the two biggest money burners this season, if you bet 100 a game for the whole season you would have lost exactly 2928 on each.
Mets were the third biggest money burners this season, you would have lost 2645 if you bet them every game for 100.
Who were the most profitable teams in MLB this season in terms of wagering? (every game, money line, 100 dolllars)
Brewers: +1637
Diamondbacks +1343
Rockies +1290
Astros +1197
Which teams were the most profitable this season if you bet 100 dollars on them each HOME game?
Athletics +1303 (they were money at home all season) Oakland was 46-35 at home this season, and they were dogs often too.
Diamondbacks made you +1218 this year if you bet them at home every game.
San Diego Padres made you +1143 if you bet them at home every game.
So, what's the point you say?
When you think of the "power teams" in baseball the SD Padres and Oakland A's are on nobodies list, they're dogs, but betting those dogs at home made you serious bank. And betting the Brews all year paid off handsomely.
Chalk don't pay in the long run, and not all dogs have fleas.
