2021 MLB Season Betting Thread

BringInTheLefty

Pretty much a regular
back for my fourth year of posting my (hopefully) season long betting thread
first year I got crushed, year two turned a $7,400 profit, last year got totally annihilated

very strict strategy this season, first 5 inning and series bets only
no parlays or full game bets

to all you getting ready for the grind I wish you all the best of skill
 
A few nice looking dog series prices out there today Lefty, including our beloved Rangers at +200!
 
happy opening day
the “marathon” begins
really wanted to play the Red Sox but weather made that go away for today

here we go:


Cubs first 5 -1/2 -130
$390/$300
Indians first 5 -1/2 -130
$390/$300
Padres first 5 -1/2 -140
$560/$400



series:
Indians -250 $750/$300
 
not the start I envisioned at all, went 0-3
Padres gave up a 6 spot in top of fifth to destroy my day
Tatis Jr made a throwing error that would have ended the top of fifth, next batter went yard as did the next batter

recap:

out of the box in a tangle, still very very early but tomorrow is a must win day
 
As I mentioned the other day I had balty but I sure didn’t expect the game to go like that! Pretty unlikely pair for a pitchers duel at Fenway if ya ask me! You will get it turned around!

Man, I know waino has looked sharp this spring and I’m confident he have a fine season but I can’t back him in this park. He has had a lot of rough outings here the last few years. Lot warmer today in cincy and a decent wind blowing out, I worry for waino here. On the bright side cards tend to give him a lot of support so hopefully they can simply outscore reds again! Gl today

If you have the time would you mind explaining your thought process to play Ff over opposed to full game? With the pen rules and extra inning rule I almost always play full game overs. Unless I really like the pens and just want to fade starters.

I chose this year to play first 5 because last year, when going over my bets I noticed that a good portion of my losers would have been winners betting FF
betting the full game overs so far looks like a very profitable angle & I wish you well
