Been doing this for a few years now and have come out ahead each year. Bet every game over for the same amount. Shop for the best numbers, exchanges like Matchbook usually have good numbers on totals. First 2 days only.
Did some back testing, and here are the results, including the one game before the main season starts, so basically take off a unit or add a unit and you will get the real record for the first two FULL days. These results are counting pushes as no action, and betting $110 to win $100 on every game.
2006: 13-7-2 + $850
For years further back, Covers.com did not have it, and the baseball records that I have are not on this computer.
No sorry I don't have records to back it up. Someone posted it on covers 4-5 years ago. She used to write tickets in a book in vegas. She said bet the overs the first 2 days. So I did and have been every year. I've come out ahead each year so far. Risk the same amount each game. Totals have different juice so you can probably catch some +105,110, etc and have to lay -110 or -115 sometimes. Just thought I would post this in case anyone was interested
I'm going to test this system out, including today's season opener. So essentially, it is the first three days of the season, including today which only has one game.
New York Mets/St. Louis Cardinals OVER 8 -115 ($115/$100)

Hitters are ahead of the pitchers though the first rotation or two as a general rule. That was indeed the case last year. Patswin is on the right track.
