UKCapper - Free Tips - Betting on favourites in MLB Baseball

Many people insist playing favourites all the time in baseball but its probably one of the better sports for playing the underdogs mixed in with selective value favourites for long term profit.

As an example lets take a look at July and August in the MLB.

If you played every favourite you would have made

July £1.65 profit from 386 £1 bets
August £1.19 profit from 429 £1 bets

A lot will only play home team favourites as well and that would have returned a loss

July -£6.11 profit from 280 £1 bets
August -£1.54 profit from 280 £1 bets

Baseball has got to be one of the most inconsistant sports around and is a sport where value pays as does looking outside the box.

Dont look to always play the favourite, especially at home.

Of course, dont change your handicapping techniques to make you selection fit the mold, play selective value bets.
