With baseball looming, what is the highest ML you would play at?

[TheWolf]

I always try to stick with -150 and lower......and still dont even like being that high.


How about you guys?

Anything over -150 I consider using a run line.

 

[FairWarning]

-300, but never with the Cubs or Yankees. Those two teams are more like -250 but the extra 50 cents is factored in with the team being so public.

same here. Sometimes I'll play both lines, and make it a -1 run line.

Hey Doug how has the liquidity and action been on matchbook. I am thinking about depositing to MB for bases if it is still solid. I mainly play sides and totals so nothing too weird. I remember that i was more than happy with them last year. If your playing bases gotta have MB

I expect it to be decent, but only for gameday bets...forget it for overnight, that's 5Dimes territory.

In april though its pretty much -150 or less or just dogs..

 

[Actionbrett]

while we are on the topic of baseball does anyone have documented numbers of how often a home team wins a game by exactly 1 run?

 

[Betallsports]

I go a little higher than the Norm, I will go as high as -165
Never Anything higher, even if it was -166

 

[PokerBookie]

If I am confident that the play is strong I don't mind laying the extra vig. But I can also see how many are not comfortable laying that much juice. I have seen it a lot in MLB where an high ML like -220 can mow down a players roll. In general I like to shop around and get the best number I could find. But I have no problems playing the bigger number if I have to.

 

[krk1030]

I've never played over -200 straight, but i will parlay them a lot if there are a lot of high ml's i like.

Never ever go -120 on anything, M/L or spread. There is thousands of Games a Year so there is no need to fall for what in reality is what makes Bookmakers rich. Human Nature has a built in mode that learns from the past but when it comes to gambling this becomes a regret of not betting, basically looking on easy money. Truth is that the the bigger the vig the bigger your losses and when you lose, at evens plus your ego is not shot to pieces, so why would you want to bet such odds on, get into a habit of despising the Books and even if these Teams win, laughing at the books odds knowing you are not the sucker. :drink:

I just told you, I dont bet under -120. how dopey can you get when you cant even read a sentence. Good luck with your bets, I've just told you why your losing, get it under control. wanker :drink:

I appoligise for getting annoyed but betting odds on is the biggest reason for punters losing money. Its not the actual odds thats the problem but the effect it has on you when you hit a losing run. at least with evens + things can be controlable but the bigger the odds on the bigger the slide and bottle to stump up more cash,

Lets stop bluffing People into betting this nonsense approach and give a careful first reasoning to Punters looking for answers. :drink:
