BetGameDay Baseball

BetGameDay Baseball Odds

Baseball season is approaching, and offers all the bullets you need for a summer of baseball gambling. Baseball props, dime lines, and home run lines are just a few tools that help widen the spread of what is normally a very thin gambling season. Hell, it’s either that or the WNBA. And we know how dangerous betting on the WNBA is. You might as well throw the money out the window.

BetGameDay Dime Odds for Money Bets

offers a ten cent money line for baseball. In other words, the difference in line between the favorite and underdog is only by ten percent. As a result, the odds for each baseball team is usually five cents better than what it would’ve been sans the dime line rule. It’s a nice little discount.

BetGameDay 1st Five Inning Odds

The trouble with betting on some pitchers in baseball is, nine times out of ten that pitcher isn’t going to go the distance. Therefore, on a lot of occasions your money ends up in the hands of that shaky relief pitcher or setup man you know has a penchant for blowing the game when it matters most. See Armando Benitez. What baseball team does that douche play for now anyway? With a five inning line, you can rest assured that if your starting pitcher will win or lose the bet on his performance, provided your baseball team also bats their part. That’s the disadvantage of the five inning line. Your baseball team isn’t playing to win the first five innings. They are, as Herman Edwards will attest to, “playing to win the game”. So don’t count on that manager subbing in the pinch hitter in the fourth to knock in the run to take the lead.

BetGameDay Prop Bets

The sportsbook offers home run lines, either baseball team to score in 1st inning, as well as other props depending on the baseball team. Which reminds me, I think more than often, in the steroid era, baseball teams were scoring in the first inning, despite most of the time getting anywhere from +120 to +150 returns for it. Who knows how this will change post-steroids.

BetGameDay Overnight Line Wagers

Not every sportsbook offers overnight lines for baseball, but does. This comes in handy due to the enormous amount of day games taking place during the baseball season, especially if you’re employed by one of those companies that discourages internet browsing. On the flip side, the limit for these wagers is $250, and of course pitching change rules always apply.

BetGameDay Futures

At this moment, futures are the big deal in baseball, and nothing changes the odds more like a free agent signing. Take the Marlins, for instance, who by losing Carl Pavano went down the tubes to a 28 to 1 chance to win the series. Then look at the same line a month later, after they sign Carlos Delgado, and the line is back to 20 to 1. As a stereotypical Italian mobster would say, “It’s like the freakin’ stock market. Hey Maria, cook me some pasta, will ya?”
