    Baseball Is Unwatchable
    Love betting it, watching a few innings but the games are just way too long

    In other sports you know when games ends basically

    Like the sport, a good lying down and falling asleep type sport

    I can see how others may find it boring, but I enjoy the hell out of it regardless of who's playing. Unless it's a Nats/Pirates game of course

        I disagree. Yes it drags at times but you gotta multi task when watching baseball. Do other things while watching game.

          100% agree

          exceptions: being at the game and playoffs

            Its probably the worst to bet on as well judging by all the posts I've read.

            I don't know much about the sport to bet on it but I'll be keeping an eye on it since it just started. See if I can pick up anything.

            But it is definitely boring........ unbelievable part is they play basically everyday for months on end. I don't know how anyone has the time to watch every game.

                    Baseball is great.

                    Basketball is the greatest farce of a sport.

                      Sittin' on the couch with the computer cappin Tuesdays NBA while the game is on! They may get boring when you have money on them they are bearable.

                      There's just so many games that you can't get real excited about any one baseball game. It s not like football where you have to wait a week for the games again so you want to watch every one, & every game has playoff or bowl implications. In bases, even when the best 2 teams play, they play again tomorrow, and the next day.

                            Then don't watch it. That's how I treat your videos, JJ. I find them way too boring, so when I see one of your threads with a video, I don't watch it. It's simply a case of being smarter than the mouse/keyboard.

                                    Gotta agree with JJ here, the game is boring and only serves as a filler between when the NBA finals are over and football season.

                                      I agree, its very boring and I played in high school, used to be a baseball nut, but its boring to sit through games. Live betting is not too profitable either on moneylline, as soon as a team is up a couple runs, the odds become astronomical.

                                        It takes forever when you are at the ballpark. If you look at the TV shots during the game everyone is doing something else except watching the game (eating, texting, drinking, talking, sleeping..you name it)

                                            They need to speed up the down time inbetween pitches. That's what it so boring

                                              I think it's fair to say that to most people baseball is slow, dull, and boring. I mean lets be honest, the only time a baseball game is exciting is when the bases are loaded and someone hits a grand slam. Besides that, nothing really happens. One guy pitches, the other guy bats.

                                              Now if you grew up watching and playing the sport, it's a different story altogether.

                                              Watching the games to some people brings that joy back, undoubtedly.

                                              It's like that with every sport.

                                              Most importantly though, to each their own.

                                                      Nothing like watching MLB. Love it. If you've played it, you can understand the excitement of the game as a while a little more.

                                                        Speeding the game will be great. Maybe playing two innings at a time before a break. So a team bats for two innings with the bases clearing at the conclusion of 1st but the defense stays in and then switch for the other team to bat 2 innings. It will shorten the game by 1 hr.

                                                          To all the MLB newbies - if you are just getting into betting this sport - stop, and rethink that.

                                                          You will most likely be broke by week 10, or sooner.

                                                          Only the pro's can survive and profit from MLB betting, and I haven't come across many of these pro's.

                                                              No interest in hearing JJ say FVCK 50 times in a five minute video???
