Always always bet LISTED pitchers unless I specify differently in my game analysis. This will ensure that from the time we place our bet to the time the game goes off if something were to happen to either starting pitcher and he does not throw at least one pitch to start the game our bet will be refunded. The last issue I want is to risk money based on a pitching change that I did not handicap. However there will be times when we are on the dog that we will ONLY specify our pitcher in the remote chance the better pitcher we are betting against does not start.
Realize early in the season, travel days and weekends there are afternoon starts and many different first pitch times. Your job at the beginning of everyday is to know the various times games start. This will help you in being prepared for new pick alerts and not missing any bets. There will be times where you will have less than 1 hour to place your bet after receiving the alert. Remember to be alerted the fastest you should be following me on twitter. Less lead time will occur most often on Sunday’s and when a day game is being played after the 2 teams played the night before. I do not place a bet until I know the starting line ups and who is being rested.
As like any other time of the year there will be days where we will bet our plays in stages in order to get the best line. Always check the body of the email new pick alert to be informed if and when there may be more plays. I always let you know when there are no more plays pertaining for the given day.
Baseball represents the highest dollar amount EVERY year of our total dollars bet. There are 2,592 regular season games. This volume far exceeds any other sport providing us with the most betting opportunities.
Shop, shop, shop for the best line available. You do not want to bet a game at -1.40 when it is available at -1.32. You do not want to bet a game at +1.12 when it is available at +1.19. Regardless of the $ amount of your unit even one cent differences in the line over the course of a season results in substantial dollars left on the table. It could mean the difference between a winning and losing season. In fact if the line has moved too much that play may not even have value any longer.
If you are not getting the lines I am betting at, there are likely 2 main reasons. You did not bet the play soon enough after I sent out the alert (remember we deal in a fluid marketplace lines are moving all the time) OR you are not shopping at enough sports books to guarantee yourself the best line possible.
Baseball has a tendency to be more streaky than any other sport we bet. It is a long long season a marathon not a sprint. There will be extended winning and losing streaks. However the ride is well worth it.
LET’S PLAY BALL!
