Sucker bets in baseball

[dynamite140]

A Parlay is a sucker bet. I heard some people say anything but the full game total and moneyline sides IS A SUCKERBET.

Someone mentioned things like 1st 5 innings, Runlines are all suckerbets. Is this true and why? For instance, if i like a team's pitcher and dont trust their bullpen, i do consider taking the team 1st 5 innings is a good idea.

Same with RL if you take hometeam and you only get 24 outs while other team gets 27 if your team is winning.

There is no such thing as a sucker bet when you win.

There are many arguements that can be made both ways.

Yesterday, MIL was a perfect example if you took them 1st 5 innings because you don't trust their bully, you would have lost, but they won for the game.

Parlay's are sucker bets. The chances to win a parlay are slim. No play ATS really ever has more than a 70% chance to win. It is hard enough to hit one play but try to get multiple plays to hit is a bad investment. Sure now and then one will hit but how much does a person lose before they hit one? Usually far more than they won.

They call them sucker bets because the odds get worse and worse.

A 5 inning line isnt a bad thing but when you go from a 10 cent line to a 20/30 cent line for a 5 inning play margin for error gets slimmer and slimmer.

Same thing for a parlay where you tie together more than 1 high line thinking you are eliminating juice when in effect you are not...you are just risking less.

Do not parlay 2 high lines when risking 100 just because you want to eliminate juice.......if you really like a FAV just play risk.....instead of 240 to win 100 just 100 to win 40.

The biggest sucker bet in baseball is the +1.5 runs bet. You are basically saying the team you bet will lose by exactly 1 run. If you lay juice on +1.5 run bets (Railbird) then you are just stupid.

Not if you think the +1.5 can win the game su
