Baseball Betting Tips and Tricks
1. Gamble
on the underdog whenever possible
Because the best teams lose a third of their games, and the worst teams win at least a
third of theirs, baseball offers fantastic value for gambling on underdogs. Since most
sportsbooks turn their profit from underdogs winning, don't you want to be on that side?
2. Impose a set limit when betting on favorites
It boils down to money management and what we discussed in tip #1 ... the best value in
baseball gambling comes from gambling the underdog. Set a strict limit and never go
overboard.
3. Don't over emphasize starting pitching
Starting pitching typically receives too much emphasis by handicappers. But, with only a
few exceptions, pitching has reached a state of parity and, as such, should not be over
emphasized when handicapping an individual game.
4. Remember that baseball is a game of streaks
Think twice before betting against a baseball team simply because you think they are due
for a loss. Because of the sheer number of games played over the course of the season,
it's inevitable that a particular team will be on a hot - or cold - streak. Go with the
streak, not against it.
5. Minimize the importance of home field advantage
While it's true that, over the course of the season, the best teams will show better home
records than road records, the best values may be found when wagering on the visitor since
many teams are "over valued" playing at home.
