    Anyone Bet Baseball Here?
    MLB

    If you do how high of a favorite to you bet??

    I use to play baseball in HS and feel I can evaluate talent and equate to sportsbetting and outcomes.

    Thank You

      I generally only go up to -150, but i'll make an exception if I find really good value on a high fave. Rare, but it happens

            I love betting it however I don't always like the result. Very unpredictable and the juice is absurd when you lose it playing big favs. I won't lay anything over -135 but if I really like the game I play on the run line. Only approx. 30% of MLB games are decided by one run so being on the right side and taking the RL seems to work out fairly well. It seems when oddsmakers establish a high over/under # your chances go way up in favor of the game being decided by more than one run. Don't quote me on that I am just guessing and speaking from personal experience.

                        I don't have a set odds number, I evaluate each match-up individually and try to find some value.

                                i will lay fatass chalk on Yanks w/c.c. sabathia and Tigers with verlander (great pitcher and solid hitting). i won't lay the fatass chalk on lincecum and halladay because of sketchy hitting sometimes.

                                            Don't like going above -150. Anything above this, I'll usually do -1.

                                              Thanks men

                                              I go up to like -150 tops on most bets

                                              Biggest misconception is guys think if they bet dogs its the sharp side
