No first inning plays, no first 5 plays, no team totals, no futures?

Have a local that goes off that website, and it's sort of annoying to not have those options.

A bit surprised. Where do you guys get these types of bets?

They have first 5 lines and Futures. Futures are down due to the player moves I guess.

But you are right, there are less options overall. No series bets either I think.

the paradox of choice: why more is less
by barry schwartz

the book isnt even remotely related to gambling but it is an outstanding read and does a solid job arguing that we almost become paralyzed by all the choices we've got in our lives and how we always seem to focus on what we 'could' have instead of deriving pleasure from all the solid choices we make without worrying about other options.

sometimes, these 'kid in a candy store' online sportsbooks that provide all kinds of exotics are the toughest books to beat because you end up second guessing yourself so damn much ("i knew i shoulda played 1st five instead of full game" or "i knew i shoulda played under for the game instead of for just the first inning")

i honestly dont think its a coincidence that betjamaica is the sportsbook ive had the most success at over the years. they have the 'staples' (full game, 1h, 2h, totals) for football and basketball. and they have the baseball dimeline. as much as i think they could be a better book with all kinds of exotics, i also cant ignore the fact that ive had long term success there by being very 'old school' and very traditional in my wagering. i think it really helps ones clarity when capping if you arent inundated with options.

just something to consider. as the aforementioned book says, often times less can be more in our lives.

I enjoy playing team totals, not many of the other gimmicky choices prodigy. I tend to do a bit better at team totals than totals on the full game it seems.

Never really done first inning bets, but seems like Venom does fairly well at them and I was going to tail a bit. Something about action getting finished out in 10 minutes sounds fun!

I don't see the prop section?
