Betting Home Dogs Only

DeathEatsaCracker · Apr 24, 2006

Have any of you gone an entire season only betting home dogs?

I would struggle to name five starting pichers in baseball, but flat betting one unit on every home dog(or even money pick), I'm up 7.64 units since opening day.

If the home dogs wins a little less than half the time, and you're getting plus money for every win, how can you not turn a profit? Why would you need systems?

Record through 4/23: 22-19 .536 +7.64 units

I got this idea from reading a blurb in the back of last month's Playboy magazine.

I doubt if this has been successful through a season,
or, at least, several seasons. But betting dogs the
first 2 weeks has been recommended.

I only buy it for the pictures.

Some years it holds up some years it dosen't (the home dogs not the pictures).
Some years its good in the NL some years the the AL.

This was in the Potpourri section of the April issue. It was advice from a reknowned sports bettor I've never heard of.

Though there would have to be down years, going by what he says the home dog wins approximately 47-48% of the time, and if you're getting an average of +119 to +125, you can win longterm in baseball.

Where could I get the home dogs record over the last ten years or so?

Having looked at this a little closer, I'm going to stop betting the even money picks.

Have you been betting every home dog or do you just cap only games that there is a home dog? I see three today but only the Padres really look like a decent bet.
