Offensive Patients Baseball Betting
July 23, 2008
Home runs get most fans excited, but an offensive category far less exciting but just as important is drawing walks. Believe it or not, patience at the plate is a key ingredient to winning baseball. Currently there are four teams in major league baseball with over 200 walks as a team. 1) Red Sox, 2) Reds, 3) Dodgers and 4) Yankees. Two things stand out with baseball betting: Those teams are very strong offensively and are in first or second place in their divisions. Certainly walks aren’t...
One Run MLB Games
July 23, 2008
Every time we lose a bet on one run MLB games, it’s disheartening to say the least. Personally, I’d rather get blown out and lose by five runs than have a game won and have the bullpen give up a one-run loss late or trail by a run throughout the game and be unable to push across that winning marker. Even worse is when you know a team has a bad record in one-run games, you make a play on them and they drop another one-run decision. And the reason they drop that one-run decision, more...
Online Baseball Betting
July 23, 2008
While wagering on football games continue to be the dominant sport, baseball is the season for gamblers and the sportsbooks know this. Baseball is the least profitable sport for the sportsbook but many gamblers are confused when trying to understand the wagering concept for baseball. Unlike football or basketball with the standard line and total, online baseball betting does not deal with a line but instead moneylines, runlines, and totals. Baseball Dime Line Baseball is probably the best value...
Online Baseball Gambling
July 23, 2008
When online baseball gambling, be sure to pay close attention to the listed pitchers for the game you are wagering on. No other position on the Baseball field, or in any other sport for that matter, is as important as the starting pitcher for betting purposes. You are going to want to handicap the game around the starting pitchers and when you do, be sure to list the starter so that if he is a late scratch you won’t be hung out to dry when some Double A call-up toes the mound. You will also...

Online Sports Betting
July 23, 2008
Online sports betting has really grown over the last 10 years into being a major recreational activity. The expansion of fantasy sports and sports gambling can be traced to the extra excitement people have when they are watching a game in which they have an added stake in the outcome. Another reason that online wagering has gotten so big in the past couple of years is how easy it is to place your bets with an offshore sportsbook. The use of the internet has paved the way for 24/7 bookmakers...
Penn Hughes
July 23, 2008
The main event of the 63rd installment of The Ultimate Fighting Championship featured Penn Hughes. This fight was officially billed as a bout for the welterweight crown, but for the two contestants involved, there was far more on the line than a fancy belt. Win or lose, champion Matt Hughes would be remembered as one of the best fighters in UFC history, but his reign atop the welterweight division has always suffered from one serious blight. Hughes lost the 170 lbs belt when he was choked out...
