    MLB is a moneypit!!!!
    Baseball is nothing more than a bottomless pit made for throwing money into....Even if you do win a few games you will still be down overall

    Tomorrow will be my last day betting on baseball...Thank God for preseason football Thursday!

    Now I see why my local stop taking action on baseball...sooner or later people will realize just as I did its a MONEYPIT and will stop betting on it....therefore, making it not worth the hassle for many locals who do take MLB action

        baseball is by far, the easiest sport to win

        bookies afraid to take action from high rollers and sharps, good luck on the NFL, you will need it

          Yea I know...I'm just saying the way things are done in baseball seems as if its design to lose money for bettors....I could be wrong or just bitter....however, I know you will never see 50 different quarterbacks in the NFL....I'm just saying

              hockey and baseball are very unpredictable sports. Tough to beat them over the long haul, unless you're like a lot of SBR posters who rarely lose a bet.

                  Yeah but the flip side of that coin is out of so many games how do you know when a team will mail it in for the night? All gambling can be frustrated but I do miss football and even basketball. Baseball was good for awhile but nothing but a fukking nightmare lately!

                      baseball players are fkking lazy assholes this is true

                      they never charge the catchers anymore, they stop in their tracks to get tagged

                      anything to avoid an injury, even if means costing their team the game

                      still 2000 games and can't find an edge thats just sad

                            Lunchbawks I am just frustrated after some bad beats lately. I am not some idiot who takes the -180 faves every night and whines but even when doing your homework and making the "right" picks and you get sh*t on repeatedly it is frustrating. I took the obvious ov in Boston tonight and Lester/Dumpster have a pitching dual thru 6, Seattle blew a cozy lead, and the Tribe fukked my un 9.5 in the 9th, and Bruce Chen gives up only 2 runs to blow my Royals/Sox ov 9....what are the fukkin odds?!?!?!

                                  MLB was tough for me...last 2 seasons I lost units overall...finally getting better this season has been profitable. I will agree that I'm looking forward to NFL and hopefully my 3rd profitable season in a row.

                                      as weird as it may sound....to me, the unpredictability each day makes it easier to win over the long haul if you stick to dogs. I'm terrible at sports with spreads

                                        Hey if you can beat it then more power to you! I am not someone who enjoys baseball very much, and I have terrible luck picking a winner on a consistent basis in baseball.

                                              simply not true, hockey and football are the easiest to cap. maybe its because you dont know enough about hockey that u say this as baseball i can agree with is very hard to cap but i came into capping with little knowledge of baseball in general and i think its prob ur lack of knowledge for hockey as well

                                                This is as far from the TRUTH as Pluto is from Earth!!!.....Its a known fact the more you bet the more you will lose, not just in baseball, in any sport! Bookies ALWAYS have the house advantage there is no way around that!

                                                Also, the posters on SBR claiming their win percentage is 80% etc. etc. can be true! For example, out of all the MLB games that are played in a season, I say to myself that I'm only going to play 10 games the whole season. If I hit 8 out those 10 games that is a 80% win percentage. Or lets say I'm only going to play 3 games the whole season, I hit all 3 games at the end of the season I have a 100% win percentage!

                                                See where I'm going here???....so if you have been killing MLB CONGRATS!!!...However, its different strokes for different folks....I made a killing in NFL last year and hope to do the same this year!

                                                        I'm up pretty big on the year betting bases and smaller profit but higher ROI on daily fantasy baseball. Just takes a lot of work, discipline and patience to ride out the losing streaks. It's a long season which makes it a grind but it's a profitable grind.

Its killing my bank roll for football! Thursday is going to be much more "gooder" Good luck big slim!

One piece of advice I can give you is that if you are not making plays with confidence, you will have a hard time winning. You need to put your losses behind you and come back strong brother. Hang in there.
