Biggest Baseball Favorite you'll bet

koidog · Jun 21, 2005

With Johnson getting pummeled at -360, I imagine nobody bet it.

But obviously someone did. I hate to go over -200 In Baseball, and normally play small favorites or dogs.

So.. who bets the big favorites?

Me personally.........-1.60

Don't know why, but over the years that's where I seemed comfortable stopping there.

Yep, -160 is about as high as you should go.

So who the Hell is betting -360 number?

Doug · Jun 21, 2005

-150, maybe -160, but rarely. I take a lot of dogs and small favs. Instead of laying -1.5 on a fav to get + $, I sometimes take -.5 in first 5 innings.

Went small.

Hey if somebody said "Pick a team to win Tonight" A lot of us would have said the Yanks.

7 Runs in 3 innings... Ya gotta love it.

depends what level

MLB: no higher than about -150/-160

College: ANYTHING is fair game - for in college you can have -500 faves that are STILL underpriced and should be closer to -800

Dub is No 1 in tracker forum betting all kinds of High lines! It can be done.

It surely pays to bet overnight at Pinny and 5 Dimes with the lowest lines.

Fish, I am a little confused.....don't mean to call you out, but curious to know why you say -140.....I noticed today you finally started a tracking thread in baseball so i thought I might take a look at your picks.....you have -155!!!!!!!!

In baseball? Hey look, if there is a team as good as the 2001 Mariners I will lay up to -240 without thinking about it.

They won 116 games! your bet has an almost 72% chance to win without even knowing who is pitching
