MLB PLAYOFFS - Betting on game 1's and 7's

JoshHamilton · Oct 7, 2009

I got a tip from MexiFBBookie that in game ones and 7's of series in the playoffs, that the best bet is the UNDER.

I decided to look back a few years to see if he had a point, and the results came up like this:

"This would be your record if betting the under in all game ones, and sevens (when they occur).

6-2 in 2008
4-4 in 2007
5-3 in 2006

15-9 (63%) "

Just thought i'd share.

I believe the under in game 7's were 3-0 and the under in game ones were 12-9.

wow, but i never bet under for the last game, too much on the line.......players are under a lot of pressure, one little mistake can be the difference for under/over!

In a sample size of 24, I don't really look at it too much.

I'm more interested in hearing about a 30 mph sustained win to right center in a hitter's ballpark in Phillly or a 30 mph sustained wind straight out to center in the Bronx...situations, situations...

63% is pretty damn good

Since its only a few games this is (apart from Bowl Season) the time I risk most of my bankroll.

For example

I right now have 8000 dollars and I'm going 2000 dollars on each game.

I almost always stick to 1 or 2 unit plays when betting normally

That's the whole reasoning

If a series goes to a game 7 they usually start the best pitcher on the roster

Plus the added pressure will take toll on the bats

IMO

That's one of the reasons I went Under yesterday...Detroit's bullpen ended up fucking me AGAIN

Yes i understand the reasoning. Game one, the ACES tend to start. Teams do not wan't to do anything drastic to lose the game as the first game of the series is very important so the teams are not as aggressive on the basepads either, which leads to less runs also.

Game seven, same thing.

I'm not playing any money on the games tonight, will wait until tommorow, but GL and good idea mexibookie.
