Feel free to add.

1) Don't bet SF Giants to win by more than a run.

2) Don't bet against Verlander in any capacity- there must be something else out there

3) Try to avoid Cubs totals at Wrigley

4) Don't fall in love with one team

5) Be very careful when backing the Padres as they are as unpredictable as it gets


More?

Don't let large majorities in the Covers Forums influence your decisions.

Totals mid season and on (under Sundays west cost home parks)
sometimes wind has a dramatic affect on totals& seen  full moon draw lots of high scoring games not so in recent years but 3-4 years ago wow that was hitting good minus the west coasters.

Have yet to discover the trends changing. reason

"No when to hold'em, no when to fold'em, no when to walk away, no when to run."

Don't be afraid to take some time off.  All that counts is YOUR bank roll, not posting plays on COVERS.

Personally, I hate betting on ATL when Minor is pitching. He is such a surprise every start.

"Don't Chase" is a lesson I learned the hard way.

Forcin bets is a good situation, IMO, to avoid.

What is really hard is cappin extensively, say 2.5 or 3 hrs only to find "no plays" for the day.

Don't know how anybody (except for predicting head coaches motivations) can bet NFL pre-season......although can't wait for the season

Bet the under at Tropicana Field in Tampa. It hits at a higher rate than any of the West Coast parks, and the totals are usually set at around 8 rather than 6. I don't know how much longer the linemakers can go before adjusting these totals to a more typical 6.5-7.

Rays home O/U (not including pushes) 2011 = 25-52

2012 = 19-30  65 % unders since 2011.
