Betting unders in baseball maybe the hardest to watch

[BadCo]

A buddy of mine likes to pop off a RL/ML bet once and awhile and last night he had Pitt RL and Dodgers ML.

Another bad beat for the archives.

Probably 15 or 20 years ago I put in an under bet that should have been an over on a Pirates game. The number was 8.5. I realized the mistake and called my book. Of course someone hit a three run homer in the top of the first as we are talking. He says "listen I believe you but I am here to make money, not be a nice guy. "Tell you what, if no one scores in the bottom of the first I will take the bet down." I said that is fair and hung up. The other team hung a 5 spot in the bottom of the first so my mistaken under bet is live. It was a good sized bet I was putting in for someone else. I actually sat there and watched the whole game. The teams did not score again. Miracles do happen.

how the hell did you find that? 1 of the two worst bad beats I have ever seen was on a baseball total. Ventura's grand slam in the playoffs that turned into a single b/c Pratt only touched second and then mobbed Ventura. It kept the game under.

1 inning and 1 quarter unders are the most stressful things I have ever bet.

I looked around. :thumbsup:

 

[TTinCO]

by far the best nite of the season ends with a tough to swallow grand slam HR in LA causing game to go from under to over.:smoking:

It was actually worse than that-it was the bottom of the 10th.

and you guys rip me for not watching alot of these games. I would be dead by the end of the year if I did.

You also bet at a much higher volume that most.

Probably 15 or 20 years ago I put in an under bet that should have been an over on a Pirates game. The number was 8.5. I realized the mistake and called my book. Of course someone hit a three run homer in the top of the first as we are talking. He says "listen I believe you but I am here to make money, not be a nice guy. "Tell you what, if no one scores in the bottom of the first I will take the bet down." I said that is fair and hung up. The other team hung a 5 spot in the bottom of the first so my mistaken under bet is live. It was a good sized bet I was putting in for someone else. I actually sat there and watched the whole game. The teams did not score again. Miracles do happen.

I did something very similar to this on a SNF game involving SF and ARI (both were awful offensive teams)

I bet the game OVER by mistake, bet it large too....I happened to notice I bet the game the wrong way right when it started, the first half had like 31 points ALL on crazy turnovers and returns no real offensive scoring...

I still needed one score in the 2nd half, the whole game I knew I had made the right bet originally but felt lucky I bet it wrong, it was very strange.

Then in the 2nd half no one scored til very late and the bet did win, I was tormented the entire game....

One minute I'm glad I bet it wrong and then I 'm sweating no points in the entire 2nd half knowing my original bet was the right call.

:smoking:

You bet relatively small amounts though which should save a lot of emotion involved in any one event (which is good)

With your approach Ice, you have a better grasp than 99% of all bettors IMO.

I hope so. Usually put around $5,000 a day into play. Up to $3,434 today so far. Hope to grind out a few pct (ROI) a month. Most don't realize how fast that can add up.:toast:

[fucnluc]

O----U
113-120

Even then, I know books have adjusted......still thought there would be much less overs.....

Pitching has dominated early...

Seems like there's a lot more 7.5-8.5's out there compared to last year and not nearly as many 9's or 9.5's.
