Betting unders in baseball maybe the hardest to watch

Iceman · Apr 21, 2007

Having lost alot of interest in hoops the past few years has made it alot easier to bet and just look at the results in that sport.

Being a HUGE baseball fan and watching 90% of the Tigers games and seeing alot of the scores flash on the screen makes it tough when you are betting 20-30 bets a day. Talk about a slow death. Last few days have been borderline unbearable, espically with the way these unders have fallen apart.

Betting unders in all sports and watching the scores has always been the hardest thing for me as a gambler/fan. It works out that betting unders seem to be 75% of my total plays and watching these scores are tough. No score/lead is ever safe in baseball.

Reverse psychology works and Mets game stays under 9.5 :dancefool

Totals in general are impossible for me to actually watch. All sports too.

they would be a little more bearable if the hacks that came in for the 7th , 8th and 9th innings could actually get someone out...

its mind numbing to see 3 runs scored in a game thru 6 innings and then watch 9 more scored in the last 3 ..

unders are tough to watch period, especially basketball.

That's the problems with under bets in baseball. These guys pitching in the middle-late innings aren't good enough to be starters or closers, and you'll see some totals explode on you. Almost everyday there are games tht are dead unders going into the 7th and go over.

In the NBA, they go into overtime to take down unders quite frequently.

Ice, are you still keeping tabs on that Tony Stoffo (sp) system?

no not betting it but have followed it's results thru other posters on another forum.

Just betting 100% like I do every other sport (Pinny lean). Decided following a certain criteria of plays just complicated things.

i couldn't hit an NBA total to save my life, and those are supposedly easier to hit than the spreads. NHL is absolutely a no-no with the overtime and shootout factor, and there really needs to be value in the MLB to hit one because those 7th-9th inning bums can ruin it in a heartbeat. For some reason though, I still bet more unders than overs.

agreed. i don't think i have ever played a total and not had to sweat out the last few pitches or minutes of a game. a team could score 8 runs in teh first and i could have over 8 and no one will get to 3rd base again until the 9th inning.

i havent been to 3rd base in quite a while ... i need to get out more..

i'd settle for a stand up double even..

Couldn't disagree more. I think overs are worse.....

fucnluc · Apr 21, 2007

I should say this year, more than ever...

Anyone have stats on over/unders for the season so far......I'm sure it's really lopsided...

Agree 1,000,000 %. A lot more stressful for me.

Agree with Ice here. I always seem to remember the bad beats when I have an under.

Iceman · Apr 22, 2007

by far the best nite of the season ends with a tough to swallow grand slam HR in LA causing game to go from under to over.:smoking:

Journeyman · Apr 22, 2007

Wow...I went to sleep it was 3-3.

I think needing an over in baseball is more difficult to watch...he two out doubles that die on the vine, the man on third one out that don't score...the double plays....totals are tough to watch period .
