Winning Big In Baseball – 4 Tips To Beat The Sportsbooks
Posted by: Marcus Jones / Category: GamblingThe baseball season is well underway and gamblers are already lining up for every game in an attempt to get their cut of the winnings. Some people will be surprised to know that although Football and Basketball are now considered much more ‘popular’ sports that baseball is the still the number 1 choice for sports bettors worldwide. Take me for example, while I write this I am in the UK with some British friends who know more about baseball than me a lifelong Giants fan!
So why is baseball so popular for sports bettors and what about it makes it easy to profit from?
Thousands of Games a Season – In the baseball season there are literally thousands of games being played over the course of the season. This means that even with a very selective betting system you should be able to at least have a couple of bets each week.
Stat Rats – Baseball is a stat rats dream. There is information available about absolutely everything in baseball. This means that stat rats can study and learn what stats affect the outcomes and bet accordingly
The Pitch – Knowing information about the pitcher can really determine the outcome of the game. Knowing how well a player works against other players or other teams can really help to garnish excess profits which is what betting is really all about.
You can still turn a profit without actually winning over half of your bets – As most people know betting on other sports on the point spread (-110) you need to hit a strike rate of around 53% in order to score a profit. However because the baseball uses the moneyline and the + / – 1.5 run line the odds are never exact and constantly change meaning that when backing the underdogs you can easily make a 40% strike rate profitable!
When backing in baseball you can back an underdog at like +187 on the moneyline and you only need to have a strike rate of little over 30% in order to make a profit. This means of all of your bets you can lose around 70% of your bets and still be in the money
