    Why Even Wager on Other Sports???
    With NFL lines as sharp as can be, and the value of getting +odds, why not just bet on say MLB for instance and call it good? I mean, there are so many opportunities to get +odds and not have to lay the juice, and the lines are obviously not as sharp with so many games going on daily and throughout the season...

    I know many "professionals" ONLY bet on MLB and make their living from baseball only...that sounds pretty nice to me...make your cash during MLB and then go on vacation for the other 6 months and not worry about betting any other sport!

    Obviously easier said than done, but is there anyone here who would agree?

    I'm sure there are plenty of people here who will totally bash this idea....but I would like to hear some reasoning as to why not just focusing on a sport where the lines are obviously not as sharp isn't the smartest way to make (or try to make) money at this gambling venture??

        Not as close as you may think they are. Not only that, but teaser payouts are horrendous.

          Because it is now college basketball season, which has the biggest profit potential of all.

            you just gotta know which teams to tease



            Anytime the browns are the favorites for example, you can tease the dog and enjoy your money...Browns never win by more than 7...

              Numbers are more important than teams. You are on the right track with true wongs, but you veer off a lot with bad teaser numbers.

                Payouts are still fine for true wongs at quite a few books.
