How can I make 300 seperate 8 team parlays in Las Vegas?
I am planning on visiting Las Vegas in a few weeks (again) and was curious of a few things that I don’t know about. Do the sportsbooks have parlay cards or something that I could fill out to place my bets ON BASEBALL? I’ve also heard about personal betting terminals, where you can place bets from your seat. On a particular Saturday, I would like to watch baseball from about 11am…til about 10pm. I would really like to bet the field with all kinds of long odds bets (like a solid 8 teamer). I was thinking about making something like 300 “8 team parlays.” I’m sure I could get it done with the parlay cards the night before…but I’m not sure they have them for baseball. How on earth could I make 300 bets in only a couple of hours??

If you have the money they’ll take the bet. Minimum is usually $5 on sports bets. I’m not sure about parlays.

What makes Baseball the most enjoyable Sport?
I have to tell you I spend a great deal of my life watching, reading stats, injury reports, box scores, etc. I for some reason enjoy BaseBall more than any sport- and even in contest where you have to pick winners against Vegas odds etc, like on http://www.CrazyDaddy.net , I win at a higher rate. I have won Vacations, Trips, Money, Contests, you name it.
What in your opinion makes baseball a more enjoyable Sport to concentrate your betting efforts on?
Chris answers:
The history of the game, statistics, the players that play the game, and most of all anyone can have their own opinion about most things involving this great game. Discussions and stories about the game will be passed on from generation to generation and that will fuel the interest of those fans to come that are not yet born. I also have to tell you that I love the game for what it is and never bet on games.

MLB Baseball Runlines and Moneyline bets????????
I dont understand why they make the betting odds the way that they do.
For EXAMPLE-
one of the games today is Astros @ Braves.
Braves are favored pretty decently to win, so the Moneyline is Braves -150, Astros +130.
but then skip right over to the Runline and all of a sudden these Braves that are the favorite to win the game are UNDERDOG to win by MORE THAN 1,
as the Runline is Braves -1.5 and +140, Astros +1.5 and -160.
Why do they do this????
The Braves are a pretty big favorite to win, but only by ONE RUN????
The way I see it, if a team wins their game, there is a much larger chance that the winning point spread will be something OTHER THAN one run as opposed to EXACTLY one run.
I understand that the moneyline is playing it “safe”, because all they have to do is win, but why do they make the payout odds so vastly different? -150 and +140 is a HUMOUNGOUS difference for ONE run.
Explanation?
In an NFL bet comparison,
it would be like if the Broncos are playing @ the Patriots,
and the Patriots are favored to win the game straight up so the moneyline is -150.
So to compare how much they are changing the payout odds, it would like if they made the spread as Patriots -3 and then bumped that spread payout up to +120 or something.
[obviously the NFL isnt like this, but thats what it would be like if they changed it to the way baseball's odds are]
Obviously if the Patriots win they will MOST LIKELY win by 3 or more points.
BTW, just to note-
The Braves won 12-4 tonight.
Chris answers:
Good question guy. I’m not really into betting bases but I do understand that it really makes no sense to lay big money to just to win a couple bucks. Take for example Yankees -200 moneyline and Yankees -140 runline. I just see better value taking -1 1/2. Anyhow think about how many games are 1 run wins. I don’t know the stats but I would guess there are many 1 run wins. Also think about what happens in extra innings and in bottom of the 9th.
I guess only oddsmakers understand the science of betting moneylines and runlines. Why not check out a betting site like COVERS.com or another site to find a better explanation.
