Baseball season is in swing now and it is ALWAYS my favorite time of the betting year. The value in baseball is the best. I have been around sports betting for MANY years and it is really tough to find a capper that understands that value. That is not to say it's a fun hobby for most of us, but good, hard working cappers can find real value betting baseball. If you primarily bet on favorites and the better team during baseball season, you may not want to read on...I never lay juice beyond -110 in baseball.
Over the past decade and a half, I have learned from some great professionals in Las Vegas. The first tidbit I picked up very quickly during my three years living in Vegas was that betting favorites in baseball is a death wish (and betting faves in almost any sport over the long haul is not a good practice). Baseball is so day to day and to lay huge juice on even a much better team makes it very tough to post a profit throughout a season. Instead look for underdog value. There are several factors I will share as I continue to contribute to this blog - but taking into consideration travel, home underdogs, and trends, (Dodgers have inconsistent pitching and with Manny in line up were over the number 13 out of the first 17 games this year. In another example, the Angels last season has a horrific bullpen, but mashed the ball. They went over the number during one stretch 18 our of 20 games) there are always some excellent plus odds games to wager on. Joe Public loves favorites, and books know this. Especially those favorites with big names - Yankees, BoSox, Phillies, Dodgers. The books don't give a damn who wins the game - they want balanced action on both sides. They do not set the line according to who they think will win the game. Manipulating that number is vital, and the public just loves betting the better team.
Anyway, if anyone is interested in joining me to let the "dogs do the work" for the rest of this baseball season, let me know. No gimics, no service, just hard capping and lots of analysis. I have posted a profit in 8 of the last 10 baseball seasons. I do not like any picks today, 5/10/10, but will begin posting here when I find a line that is off - according to my work.
Good luck everyone. Hope to meet some good cappers on here soon.
