ok so i was thinking...Giants will basically always be underdogs...im thinking about betting on them every game until they win. if they lose first game, i will double up on the next bet, and the underdog value will make me money. I mean, this makes perfect sense yes? They ARE going to win many times this year. compared to other teams, of course they will probably suck. but, say giants lose the first 4 games i bet on, just keep betting on them until they win. and when they win, i start over the amount of money im betting on them. so, back to 1 unit. they just cant lose a ton of game in a row. like if they go 0-20, i may get a bit nervous...this really is guaranteed money am i wrong?

Martingale systems will make most people nervous about Bet #4 or 5

If you start at just $20, the seventh bet will need to be over $1000

If you start at $200, the seventh bet will need to be over 10,000 and many sportsbooks won't permit that big a wager.

BOL in your endeavour.

ya for this strategy i was thinking just bet as low as possible, so start out at like 5 bucks, so i have room for error. this would be kind of like saving quarters for a year. it will add up

the thing i could do with this is...bet 1 unit the first game, if giants lose, then bet 1 unit again on the 2nd game. if they win, then i win money, since they r underdogs and the juice is great. if they lose the first 2 games, then i move onto 2 unit bet. and keep doing same thing...so, if it was "5 dollar" scale for example, i would lose 30 bucks if they lost 4 in a row. 5,5,10,10(lost money) so, ill take my chances

These losers could start out 0-20. But Im on them today anyways. Plenty of other dogs barking right now. Good Luck

I'm fading them on the run line until they prove to me they can win.
Yesterday I had Brewers - 1 1/2 -100.
Easy money.

Today the Brewers are - 1 1/2 +105.
I'll be on that again also.

i think if you bet the giants every game this year you would make money. they are going to be undervalued by the public. bottom line is they have great starting pitching that will keep them in games and some young guys that are hungry for playing time. this team will be bad this year no doubt but the moneyline should be profitable in my opinion. the martingale system seems a little risky though

This strategy probably works better in other sports betting against the spread where you know you are getting -110.

What if you lose the first 5 games and the next game you win but they have Linceicum vs a bad teams #5 starter. They wont be a dog or a big one if they are.

The problem with the system is that to really make a decent profit you need to bet large, but limits and bankrolls wont allow it. If their were no limits and someone had enough of a bankroll they would be practically printing money doing this.

Fade Use The ML

as someone suggested. Brewers ML on Fri. was as close to cinch as it comes, today may be also. Just bet all their games under, pretty fair pitching, NO hitting. Martingale totaly impractical in almost all cases, certainly here. BOL

Pretty sick line on Parra today...while they beat 'em...it was a close game. Had to be a tough one to stomach for BrewCrew RLINE bettors.

this giants offense is so bad, they can easily have 10+ game losing streaks this year. i don't care how good cain and lincecum are.
giants will be lucky to avg 3 runs a game this year

Hyperbole on your part, I'm sure


No MLB team in my memory has averaged less than 3.9

Giants may well be the most underrated team in MLB. While many have them losing 100 games, I think they can threaten .500

Bochy sent out a a true "Sunday lineup" today...no Molina, Winn, or Rowand. Think he is banged up...

But Zito is struggling again this afternoon...maybe the Brewers cash the runline today.

:drink:

Barman! They won't even score 625 runs. They won't be anywhere close .500 72 games MAX, if everything breaks their way.

Unless the Giants make several trades...adding quality bats...which is highly unlikely...

They will finish well below .500 this year.

Heres a good strategy I think it's from barman

"don't bet on games with a top 3 or bottom 3 team involved"

The top 3 team will be over priced
The bottom 3 team will break your heart
