CAP-IT, whether you followed or not, make sure to go back through and read some of the writeups. I like dogs off of a win in September...and the big key thing is this: Never make a late season bet going with your gut. For example, don't bank on a team to beat another team because "they need this win." You can pay sports betting services to give you crap writeups on games and ones that make you feel all warm and fuzzy, but here what all of those services have in common: they always crash in September and wind up hiding their late MLB season records behind whatever good is happening in Football.
Bottom line: The good bet in sports is always the gut twister. Lots of people haven't followed me because they thought the bets looked stupid. |

That's the way to do it this time of year. I've studied MLB in depth. Since 2000, the public hasn't ever done worse than 54% on consensus; however, that actually a huge loss of roi. The bulk of this loss comes in the last month of regular season and in the first month. People love to bet on "good" teams in September, but in reality the winners never really seem to make sense.
What is funny is the the BIG chalk that kills everyone right now becomes a winner in April! The lines makers rake HARD with MLB. Each season plays out the same way perfectly for the books, and all they really do is tap on human emotion. Gotta make your picks without thinking too much. |

In general (all sports) bet the dog as close to game time as you can and bet the favorite as early as you can for the best value. |

#181 Posted: 10/1/2012 8:41:04 PM You're one of few who can intelligently assess the supporting framework of the 'play' underneath the plays on the board; it's quite the pleasure to read your reads on the action and your account thereof.

It doesn't really matter though if I share what I know: the biggest secret in gambling is that you have to intelligently take the play that stinks and makes you feel ill. As human nature will have it, I'll be coattailing the bookies and linesmakers for many many years (and already have been). |

#928 Oakland Athletics +133 ($153 to win $176.89) over the Texas Rangers
I like to take good home dogs off of 2 or more wins in their last three facing another good team. These dogs usually hit above 50% in both late regular season and in the playoffs; they actually do well most of the regular season too! Go Oakland! |

I can already smell it. All season long, Texas has been great off of losses. That was my main worry here, but I did recall them folding last season.

#903 Baltimore Orioles +184 ($68 to win $125.12) over the Texas Rangers
Is there something I'm missing? Why are the Orioles getting so much juice. I don't care, I'll take it.
Baltimore is 53-41 +25.07 units (+25.6% roi) this season against plus .500 teams. That's 28-22 +18.46 units (+36.9% roi) as road dogs (against +.500 teams)!
Not only that, but Baltimore is 14-3 +13.17 units (+67.8% roi) on 1+ day of rest. I trust Baltimore in the playoffs a whole lot more than I do Texas. I think the public is thinking: "the second time is a charm" and therein lies our value on this one.
Go O's! |
