Is there anyway to bet pre-season baseball???

I know it's beyond stupid, but there's nothing better then having action on a game, Weds afternoon, while at work. Makes the day go so much faster.

(Xm radio now has all the baseball games on the radio including spring training.)

yes, lines offered at several books last spring. but they will be at least 20 cent lines (even at pinnacle).

Sorry............I meant does anyone have any "strategy" for betting pre-season?

Home Team = Heads

Visiting Team = Tales

Glaken,

That is the Best system there is, just to have money on a basball game to watch this time of year while there is a foot of snow on the ground is mind soothing.

:lolBIG:

That's what I figured.

I'm jones-ing for day baseball. I'm in serious trouble.

oh ya ive bet on a ton of these games. a lot of them can be capped, its just a pain to find out who is pitching

But do they tell you the three or four pitchers who are throwing that day?

Nobody is going more then three.

Check out the standings about 1 week in, i swear, some teams, and you will see it from the standings, value pre season MUCH more than other teams.


Last year the Twins were winning nearly every day, and their record showed it.

That is a solid strategy and i have used it sucessfully the last 5 years or so, I bet on the teams at the top of the standings and against the ones at the bottom.

Also helps to know who will pitch and for how long, thats almost not even factored into the lines until real late in spring training, MLB.com is a good place to look for that.

Usually on the MLB Team site they list the Spring Training pitchers under the Team Notes section.

yup. and out of all the major sports mlb.com is the best. thats the way it should be, the official site should always have the best looking site and the most info.

i think nfl and nba sites kind of lack

Game on ESPN Wednesday Mets vs Senators errr Nationals...PLAY BALL!

Tony I am not going to say nobody can beat it, but its real tough because so many different players playing everyday. even if you could get a list of all the pitchers that was going to pitch that particular day, I still dont think you have an edge. I just dont think starters go all out. I think the players that are trying to make the team are the players that are going all out.

Pinny has 8 cent ML but no runline or total available yet. Looks like action only, no listed pitchers.
