MLB betting is a grind. There are 2,430 games -- which means there is
plenty of opportunity for action, but also plenty of opportunity to
blow your money on a game just because you feel like it. It's awfully
easy to succumb to chasing or any other number of ways to flush your
money down the toilet. However, staying consistent with similar units
bet on each game is one of many keys to coming out profitable in MLB.
No need to bet half your bankroll just because you're on a tough losing
streak. Reconsidering strategies and lowering your unit size is what
you want to do when you're losing, you don't want to bet irresponsibly.
The purpose of my thread will be to share consistent winners with the
forum. All my plays will be documented here on this thread daily.
The majority of my plays will be on the moneyline, much like everyone
else. I will also sprinkle in some over/unders and plays on the -1
runline.
If any of you have questions or comments, don't hesitate to speak up!
This is my first post on Covers, but I've been lurking here for quite some
time now. So, again, any
input in this thread would be appreciated -- whether it be advice,
chit-chat, tailing my plays, or just comments, questions, concerns in
general.

Please note, my preseason power rankings and divisional predictions
have absolutely no impact on how I cap individual games. They are just
for fun and discussion really.

Opening Day Plays --- March 31, 2011 (1x) Detroit Tigers (ML) +138 ----- LOSS (-1x) (1x) Los Angeles Angels (-1 RL) -109 ----- WIN (+1x)
I went 1-1 today, breaking even to start the season.
I didn't anticipate the bullpens to be such a problem. The Tigers
bullpen essentially lost the game. And the Angels bullpen (using five
relief pitchers) almost lost the game as well once Jered Weaver left
the game after throwing a strong outing himself.
I will probably post my plays for tomorrow later tonight.

Cards like this are great, especially in the
beginning of the year when dogs tend to shine. Going 2-2 will show a
good profit, and I expect to at least go .500 on this card. Best of
luck today.

Alright, I lied about the Giants being my final play. I am adding:
(1x) Oakland Athletics (ML) -110
The Blue Jays are up 10-0 in the fifth, all they have to do is win the ML.
The Marlins are up 5-0 in the sixth and Josh Johnson is currently
pitching a no hitter, they are looking really good right now to cover
the -1.5 RL at +130.

Friday, April 1, 2011 (1x) Houston Astros (+1 RL) +172 ----- PUSH (1x) Pittsburgh Pirates (ML) +163 ----- WIN (+1.63x) (1x) Texas Rangers (ML) +112 ----- WIN (+1.12x) (1x) Florida Marlins (-1.5 RL) +130 --- WIN (+1.3x) (1x) Toronto Blue Jays (ML) -119 ----- WIN (+1x) (1x) San Francisco Giants (ML) +110 ----- LOSS (-1x) (1x) Oakland Athletics (ML) -110 ----- LOSS (-1.1x)
I think from now on, I'm just going to start a new thread with my picks each day -- they seem to draw more interest than season-long threads. I will still be keeping a season record though.
