Baseball, it's the great American past-time and online
baseball betting is quickly becoming very popular.
It's also the greatest sport to win money at for the
diligent gambler. This article isn't going to be about
what types of situations I look at in order to hit at the
rate I do during the baseball season. It's not going to
give you any new trends to look at in order to help you
pick winners, it's only about opening your eyes as to how
easy it is to win at baseball. Reason No. 1 - Dime lines
and 8-cent lines. There aren't nearly as many
online sportsbooks
that let you lay -105 juice on Football and Basketball as
there are for Baseball. That is essentially what the dime
line means. On a neutral field with two neutral teams,
you would lay -105/-105 on either team you pick. That
alone lowers the winning percentage you need to break even
down to 51.2%! And if you play at a sportsbook that uses
8-cent lines, you only have to win 50.98% of your games to
break even! Compare that to the standard -110 juice for
football and basketball, where you have to win 52.4% of
your games just to be collecting instead of dishing out to
your book. This shows that baseball alone is easier to
win at, simply because you have to win 1.2% fewer times to
show a profit.
Bet on games using your Credit Card with this Sportsbook!
Reason No. 2 - Competing lines at different
sportsbooks. Having more than one sportsbook during the
baseball season is even more important that having various
accounts during the spread sports. Think about this:
During the Basketball season you have two different
offshore sportsbooks, one has your team at +4.5 and the other has
your team at +5. You go ahead and take the +5 and watch
your team win outright, how often does that .5 points come
into play? Now I''m fully aware of the advantage of
getting the best lines even for football and basketball,
but in baseball the advantage is significantly higher.
Take a look, right now I am looking at 5 different
internet sportsbooks on a real game. Book A has the Florida
Marlins at -144 and the Colorado Rockies at +136. I then
look at two other books that have Florida at -160 and
Colorado at +145! You can take Florida at -144 and
Colorado at +145 and you can't lose! Tell me how many
times that happens in any other sport. Now instead of a
dime line with several different books you can get a zero
line . Obviously this situation is somewhat rare, but as
I look down that line and today's games a 5 cent line is
the average if you use competing books. That lowers your
expectation down to 50.6% in order to profit. All the
while you can sit and wait for a ''can't lose'' situation
like the one provided above.
The purpose of this article was to show the casual
gambler just how easy it can be to win at baseball
betting, and that is without any expertise in the sport!
Almost any handicapper worth his weight will tell you that
baseball is the easiest sport for him to win money at.
Personally, I wager twice my normal amounts during the
baseball season because I know how easy it is to win. Now
get out there and build those bankrolls for football!
