if its that easy then you should be rolling in the $$ --that same concept work for any team w/L teams has to win sometime right--I have bet this bet many times but to use as a chase--just flip a coin or go to vegas and bet red or black--same concept-but not many doing it --and making tons of cash--or everybody would do it everyday --nice winner on the early game-pitchers are the key to this and most all other baseball bets--but games rarely spread out like today--so I assume thats where you find the edge--Atl going to win sometime also--but I will not bet them until they do--8-9 straight losses after today? and I live near Atlanta--no offense without Chipper Jones--if I used thaat concept I would be down a shit load with a ton riding next game-to much risk for me--
but nice to see what other people bet--gives me something to think about-Good Luck hope you win more than you lose--
Lol I see what you're saying but I respectfully disagree with your analogy as it pertains to the item I brought up. Here's what I mean:
Okay, say there are nine different start times for baseball games on a given day (Which, as I mentioned, is rare, but does happen every so often, including all holidays). In today's case, there were games that started at 1, 130, 210/220, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9. Is there going to be a run scored in the first inning of EVERY single game?? I mean, anything is possible in life, so it is, I guess,
possible that such a thing would occur. But this is just a fun little trend I've noticed where, no, there has never been a case such as today with so many different start times and featured a run in the first inning of every single game. Therefore, this is how you can make money:
1. Select one of the 1 o'clock games that there won't be a run in the first inning. I was fortunate enough to win on my very first game (For a small amount because this is just a fun little idea that I've had on my mind for years and one that I explore and play around with in small amounts), but a lot of the time, that first game you pick could easily have a run in the first inning. If that happens, you lose $130 (For example purposes) right there.
2. Go to the next start time of games, that being 130. Do $260 for $200 this time, and if there's a run, now you're down $390. Still managable to make money, however.
3. Choose from the two 2 o'clock games. Maybe do $650 for $500. It's easily possible you lose that one, as it's very simple to lose three first-inning bets in a row. Now you would be down $940.
4. At this point, it would be dangerous, if you are choosing from the fourth start time of games, but my point is you can't lose all of them. How do I know? Like I said, this is a fun little thing I've paid some attention to and there's NEVER been such a day that featured a run in the first inning of every single game. Yes, it is possible that some of the games you don't pick (Because there are some start times on a holiday, like today, that have more than one game at the same time), but it's still very unlikely.
The same holds true vice versa, or at least in the times I've paid attention to it. Here's an example: From the 2010 season, there was one day where EVERY game had no run in the first inning, and I believe it was a bit of a shortened schedule with eight or nine ten games on the slate. All of a sudden, there was one game left in Colorado between the Rockies and Nationals, so I put over $100 that there WOULD be a run in the first inning (John Lannan was pitching but I do not remember who the other starter was). Of course, not only do you have the Law of Averages COMPLETELY behind you, but it also helps that the pitching matchup and offenses involved could easily contribute to putting up a run. As it turned out, I didn't even have to sweat, as a run was scored rather quickly in the top of the first and my idea prevailed.
Is this is a concept I would ever consider doing on a regular basis? Absolutely not. One, the reason I don't often partake in this is because I don't have the bankroll for it. If you are able to invest several thousands of dollars into this one particular idea, I can GUARANTEE you will make money in the end on days like this, just for the fact that I've never noticed a day where every single start time had a run in the first inning on a day with as many as eight, nine, or ten different start times. So, my point is, if you have the money, and you notice a random day, specifically a holiday, where there's games spread all throughout the day, give it a shot and have fun with it. Just an idea I'm throwing out there that has been on my mind for a few years now.
