Baseball BETTING TRIVIA

Fishhead · Jun 8, 2005

Q. Would a bettor be down LESS wagering +1.5 run on every game or laying -1.5 on every game since 1990?

PS- Consider this question based on the consensus average OPENING number.

A. ????????

Even though you get much better vig with the -1.5, I would take +1.5 because there have been so many 1-run games in baseball.

I'll say you might be up more with the -1.5

i'd say +1.5 - more ways to win here

Fish, is this one of those threads that you ask a question and then wait 4 months before answering?

my guess would be +1.5 would win more given the fact that the home team in the bottom of the 9th or extra innings would only need to score 1 run to win the game to betting the dog in those games would still pay.
