How many Of you actually make $$ betting baseball??

[teaserpleaser]

Not me thats for sure my weakest sport seems like everybody says they win at baseball. crazy sport bad bullpens, walk off homers, rain delays now your ace is done for the day. If you play totals i guess just seems hard as hell to pick sides day in day out. The 2 bookies i have had a chance to talk with both said they love mlb ba$eball season.

What a dumb question, everyone here makes money from gambling, period.

Well, everyone but Venditto.

[teaserpleaser]

And by making $$$ im talking are you up or down at seasons end probably Fishhead and this bobbyfk kid oh and ryanxl - (where is RyanXL @ )

I hope this is not a serious question. MLB is the easiest of all sports to bet. No need to worry about covering the spread like football and basketball and no draws like soccer.

[MC PICKS]

This is my best sport, and I'm on an 0-6 slide the last 2 days. EASY MONEY.

And NO PENALTIES that negate a score!

No referees!

pavy its serious you make $$ betting baseball so it seems easy to you if not 2008 season here it was 2009 mlb season/playoffs guys were getting hammered!

excellent points plommer..very rarely a game is decided by an umpire mistake either intentional or not.

Just depends who you are. Most say the NBA is horrible because of foul calls etc and cant be beaten. Whereas i feel its definitely the easiest sport to beat by recognizing shaded lines and betting into them. Baseball on the other hand is basically a toss up to me every game.

Baseball is the worst......

LOOK AT TODAY for example:

Rays
Cardinals
Phillies

All losing......

No other sport where the 3 biggest favourites of the day would lose. Although I'm hoping Rays come back.

You are probably right teaser. Most bettors are usually losing money. But the ones who know what they are doing they don't. I was giving you my personal experience.

This. Sure the umps rarely affect the final minutes like in NBA, but bullpen implosions make up for it. Frustrating. Granted I don't spend the same time and effort on baseball, but given the opportunity I prefer other sports.

Toughest season in a while to win, I am getting destroyed . It is my worst year of all times.

If you were on all 3 of those sides, Tomato is fairly confident that it's not baseball rather your handicapping that is the problem.

Name 1 sport you made money the last 3 years. Just 1.

Nothing to do with those games, look across the board:

Favourites Losing:

Cincinnati Reds
Philadelphia Phillies
Texas Rangers
Minnesota Twins (??)
Kansas City
St. Louis

Tied:
Tampa
Atlanta

8 out of 10 favourites not winning. NO OTHER SPORT would this ever happen.

Although I don't go for all favourites and 1 day isn't the best sample size, just saying baseball is very random.

Go and check one of the champions league matchweeks in Soccer and the weekend prior to that in the English premier league .... if I remember rightly over that 4 day period there were NINE teams that were between -230 and -800 that all failed to win, including Barcelona, Manchester United, Chelsea, Celtic and Rangers.

So, Yah, It does happen in other sports

[as99]

Soccer has ties and they happen very often. Adding a 3rd element behind win and loss is too much.

Edit: Although I admit when I said it would never happen in any other sport is an exaggeration.

paver I will have run date query models and see, you might be right.

[OmgUrMom]

You don't. That's why you bet off numbers.
