Baseball Season Starting

With Baseball season already started and really kicking off today, here are some pointers for baseball betting that I think are the most important, and quite often are the most ignored.

#1 Stay within your bankroll

Gambling is recreational, and betting on baseball is no different. If you want to give yourself the best chance of making some money, you must bet within your bankroll. Otherwise, you will go broke. My rules of thumb are

- no more then 15% of bankroll on one game (most of my games I bet 5% of my bankroll
- no more then 15% at risk at any time if I am betting multiple games


#2 Have multiple accounts at different sportbooks to shop lines

This will save you, which in turn makes you so much money at the end of the year. So often sportsbooks will have different lines on games. In baseball, money lines can differ all the time, and underdogs can win you more money with better lines.

I recommend the following sportsbooks for betting on baseball this year:

BetOnline


5Dimes


Bet at 5Dimes



Sportbet
468x60_baseball2_sb07

None of these three sites are affiliated with one another, so there should be tons of lines different with each other throughout the year. Plus these sites all have nice sign up bonuses right now for the start of the baseball season, and you will be eligible for more bonuses later on in the year.

I track a few different systems on a couple of other sites, http://baseball-systems.com and http://sportsfanblog.info/ to name a few of them. I used to post them here as well, I have not decided what I want to do this year for that.

For the most part all my picks are posted here when I have time to post them. I was just blessed with my second child a couple of days ago, and time has been limited at the moment. Hoping to get back in the swing of things this week.
