Does anyone every bet team totals for the game. I have an account at Olympic and they offer team totals. I just now started looking into it. I think there is some easy money to be made here. I took the Padres to score more than 4, the Mets to score 5 and the Yankees to score 6. Please give me some feedback to whether betting team totals is a good idea or bad idea.

OK guys. I just dont see how this is going to be hard to get a system in tact. I think you can look into how certain batters do against the opposing pitcher, team batting average, whether or not it is a hitters park, how the teams have been doing in their last 10 will help as well. I am going to start posting my plays on this because obviously I am about a 50-50 guy on picking spreads.

Tuesday Team Totals

Ok this will be my first post with these kind of picks and I want everyone to know that I get all my lines from Olympic or TheGreek. Give me a few days before you really start following me because I want to see how they go but I am going to post so you guys can watch and see. I can see that all my picks are over which is probably how most of them will go unless a team is facing Randy Johnson or a stud pitcher like that. Scoring 4 runs in the major leagues is not that hard to do especially if you are facing a rookie pitcher or a pitcher that does not have good control. Look for this type of betting to make us all a lot of cash this year.

Mets Over 4.5
Padres Over 4
Dodgers Over 4.5
Yankees Over 5.5
Oakland Over 4

GL Pro. I kind of like the Mets and Yanks. There is no way I touch a -300 Ml game in the Yanks

Yeah that is why I went with the team runs instead of taking the spread. I think the Yankees will score about 10 runs today so I really like the team run line of 5.5

Pro- I took the Mets 4.5 and the Sox over 5. One winner and one looking good. Nice job. The Yank game is going as I had feared.

Thanks Kinz. The Mets game went over and the Yanks are struggling but they have the bases loaded in the 8th with no outs. Surely they can score me two runs out of this inning.

Yankees are at 5 with runners at the corners with 1 out. Just need a fly ball to the outfield and we will get the team over. Bernie Williams is at the plate, sure hope he can catch up to the fastball

Padres game has started and it is tied 1-1 in the bottom of the second. We just need them to have one big inning and mitre is throwing a lot of balls but the padres are swinging at most of them

ProCapper.. I bet team totals at Oly as well.. I've had some moderate success with it but I haven't really put too much into it. I might spend some time looking into it tonight. There has gotta be some correlations out there that can help point in which direction a team total is going. I think there's money to be made in it.

Yankees o5.5 -120 today seemed like an absurd line. I know they got it in the 8th inning, but they had plenty of chances to get it throughout the game.. I would guesstimate that had a 70-75% of hitting. Very solid wager.

Thanks Sekrah. It just seems to me that it would be easier to get a teams total right because you can look at who they are facing and then look at their success against them a lot easier than having to get the total for both teams down

Yea, I'll look into it.

Dodgers hit Pirates up for 6 and 9 when they faced Snell last year.. And they've scored atleast 5 runs in 6 of their 7 games this season.

Combine that with the fact that Pittsburgh's bullpen is a mess, it looks very solid.
