Thoughts and Comments Welcome "When to bet the Baseball Games"

Well, we all know that the lines change from overnight to game time and a sharp baseball bettor has to make money saving decisions every day.

I am not a scalper just love Baseball and it is the reason I am here and the reason I bet. I bet favorites, Dogs, and totals!

Assuming you have good lines and overnight ability-- which we all do if we are serious about winning in Baseball, what do we do and when do we bet?

My opinion is this:

If you are betting a favorite that is a good team with an all-star pitcher vs inferior team and pitcher, then bet it right away. Lines usually grow on these games. And the best places for overnight obvious favorites are Pinnacle (8 cent lines) and 5 Dimes (5 cent lines)

If you are on a dog with no particular reason (ie they are the inferior team and there is no pitching advantage in your favor) then wait till game time and get the best line.

If you are on a good match up with two good teams and two good pitchers, then wait on the favorite and take the dog early.

If your on a total, Good Luck!

All comments welcome!:digit:

Sounds reasonable to me...I might add that the public stuff (like good team w/all-star pitcher) seems to have a bigger effect on weekends than early-week games.

Having said that I haven't really found a reliable timing strategy so I just tend to bet when it's convenient. But if a line is too plain vanilla, ie. all shops offering the same price, I usually hold off on it and check the lines again later.

i agree....
