Umpire betting strategy

Does anyone have any information about which teams of umpires tend to have games over/under? Ive heard of people just betting O/Us based on whoever is umping, like if an ump has a tight strike zone compared to a big zone.

Also any information how to figure out who umps what game hopefully a few days before the game?

Thanks for any help.

I am not sure about the relationship between umps and teams, but there is a ton of information and trends on certain umps and them calling unders or overs. I believe that ESPN gives the plate ump about 30 minutes before first pitch then it goes counter clockwise on rotation; check box scores. Best of luck this season.

check pops thread.

ump rotation is clockwise. 1st base then goes to home.

That is a horrendous, horrendous idea. Anyone who even thinks of doing something like that has no clue about baseball and shouldn't even be gambling to begin with. In fact, they're better off physically burning their money.

Trust me, I know baseball over/unders better than anybody. Factually, nobody studies them more than I do. And a strategy revolving around a true genuine variable like an umpire is absolutely ridiculous because that completely ignores the people in charge of deciding how the game plays out: uh, the players. More than anything, it is the starting pitchers who dictate how an over/under turns out. Period.

Not trying to bash you at all, just putting down such an idea and I would bet anything that such an idea never won anyone money in the long term (Unless someone who instituted such an idea was selective enough to get lucky and score money in the end). I repeat: An idea like this is astronomically laughable and shouldn't even be considered because umpires are, by no means, a steady variable. You start with the starting pitchers and then work from there. That is how you win over/unders in baseball, and my 366-270-42 record from 2011 will best support that simple strategy.

Agreed. Any wagering style which focuses on just one component is a recipe for disaster. Are unpires a factor? Yes, but a small one amongst many others.

slow down there buddy, I never said I was going to bet my house or even bet at all on this strategy, lol. I just had a scratch on my ass and wanted to know more information about it. Just being curious and attempting to get some help from the rx community. I should have known someone would say :
"this is a horrendous, horrendous idea"
"Anyone who even thinks of doing something like that has no clue about baseball and shouldn't even be gambling to begin with. In fact, they're better off physically burning their money"
"I know baseball over/unders better than anybody"
"nobody studies them more than I do"
"my 366-270-42 record from 2011"

practice some humility. Stop bragging up yourself, it makes you look very bad. One thing Ive noticed in my life is the people that talk the most are talking the most for a reason, trying to convince themselves. Serioulsy, eat a slice of the old humble pie.

No matter how good you think you are or have became, there is always someone better than you. Always. This is true in any aspect of life. The minute you think your the best in the world at something i.e. - "Trust me, I know baseball over/unders better than anybody," is the minute you let the next guy get closer to you.

Anyways, I actually agree with you 100%. Id never blindly bet on only the umps lol. never. I like my money to much. You are totally right about the umps not being a steady variable. I agree, like i said earlier, I had a scratch on my ass and was curious..

Eat that pie man.

Lol let's start over because there was a little miscommunication here. I was not bashing you at all, but you're right, I certainly came on too strong there. I'm just very passionate about this subject (Personally, I'm probably more passionate about MLB Over/Unders more than anything else I can think of), so when I see a conception that such an idea works for other people, when there's absolutely no way that it possibly can, it just ruffled my feathers because I take this specific endeavor very seriously, and I reacted too strongly, so I apologize for that. Wasn't meant to insult you at all, but you're right, you did say it in a way where you had an itch and simply wanted to hear about it.

And, as you said, you even agree that such an idea is horrific lol, which it certainly is. But again, didn't mean any ill will towards you. Like I said, I'm very touchy concerning the subject, so that, plus the fact that I am absolutely AMPED to get another season of over/unders underway, has me very intense right now. No other way of putting it; I just can't wait to get started and talk about anything and everything that is baseball over/unders.

That was good pie, by the way. Thank you

no problem here cats, glad we could clear things up in a positive way. I do appreciate your passion that you have for sports betting, especially baseball. Damn this is a good website lol.

GL to you this year, hope you have another good year. I am trying to pick up a thing or two this season becasue my baseball betting knowledge is very average. Normally I just blindly bet on my Tigers for fun lol, I hope to pay more attention and try to find ways to turn a profit this year.

GL to you.
