Anybody that bets exhibition Baseball for the limit has no clue about baseball. you will be real lucky if any starter pitches more than 3 innings.

Me too.

 

[JimFiestSux]

Yes a people question , so I added a winner too. No clue bout baseball, maybe you don't have a clue like you think you do. Guess thousands of people who bet exhibition games have no clue??

 

[Rainbow]

I was referring to wiseguys. never in this world you will see originators bet exhibition games.

 

[Mr.Smith]

seems like 2 kinds of people might bet this 90% those who just want to bet and maybe 10% those who think they have an edge somehow.



very smart or very crazy people betting on these

Actually if you have the time and the means going to Florida for spring training and following a few teams geographicaly close to each other you might pick up an edge later in the Spring by watching for lineups and local knowledge about pitching. There will be some laptops in the stands this year again. These very early games are a total crapshoot.

Inside info can be quite valuable. I know a bettor who has who has two guys following three specific teams, one in Florida and one in Arizona. He pretty much knows who is going to be pitching after the first week. It might be tough if you only know the starters, both going 2 or 3 innings, but if you know who starts, who comes in for two after that, who will follow, etc...you can get some edge. Also very useful to know who is going where with split squad games. It isn't a lock by any means, but he generally comes out well ahead and then shares the profit with his sources.

Bet against Andy Petitte he said he is still having trouble adjusting after missing 99.9% of last season.

I'm not playing just yet, if I were I'd look to the dogs. I believe I've read before that blindly betting every dog breaks even, or turns a slight profit, historically. I can't prove it, though. Still tough to bet chalk in these games. I'm not going to try and guess moves this early. Good to see 8-cent lines.

WB- I dont buy it.

Think he has been lucky.

Cant argue with success though.

Hope he continues to do well.

I say this after attending many spring training games and then moving to Florida 3 years and attending 10-20 games a year.

With a 20 cent line, I just dont believe there is any edge.

I have put considerable time and effort into studying this, thinking this was a great way to have a possible edge. I just dont think there is for a VARIETY of reasons which I am not going to get into here.

AGAIN, CANT ARGUE WITH YOUR FRIENDS SUCCESS AND I HOPE HE CONTINUES TO MAKE PROFITS.

I do see where PINNY is going to have 8 cent lines...........may have to re-evaluate my stance on this.
