Baseball Betting System
Any good baseball betting system will take a look at recent winning
trends and use basic statistics to predict a win or a loss.

There's an old saying in baseball: every team is going to win fifty-four games and every team is going to lose fifty-four games, it's what you do with the other fifty-four that really counts.
While not every team in baseball history has followed this trend (most recently the 2003 Detroit Tigers won only forty-three games, or the 2001 Seattle Mariners who won 116 games) it does teach us something about the game of baseball that we can apply to a betting system.
Of all professional sports, Major League Baseball stands out as a league that sees its teams hit more ups and downs during the course of a regular season than any other sport. Baseball is the streakiest game around, both for teams and players -- the reason for this is partially the parity between teams and partially the result of a very long season. Another saying in baseball goes something like this -- good teams minimize losses. Taking this into account when coming up with your baseball betting system is a surefire way to make money.
The Best Baseball Betting Systems
My basic baseball betting system involves betting on a team with a specific winning percentage under the right circumstances. This is common sense stuff, nothing romantic or mysterious about the ability to predict when a team is likely to win. This past season, I started looking closely at teams who had a winning percentage of at least .450. If these teams were home favorites of -110 or more I'd bet on a victory. How did it work? This system (not original by any means, but an altered version of other popular baseball betting systems) yielded a win loss result of 24 - 13, an advantage of +11. Even more shocking, as another baseball gambler pointed out, is that nine of those thirteen "loser" teams won their very next game, yielding a win loss of 33-17 (+16) for bettors willing to back a system team after a disappointing loss.
I backed this very basic baseball betting system up with this little gem, probably common knowledge for serious bettors but still useful for stuffing your wallet -- betting on a home team in specific non-divisional games. If you see a home team in the last game of a series in which they've scored double digit run totals in the previous games of the series, you should bet that team to win. This season, that system went for a 19-3 win loss ratio, or +16 for those of you scoring at home.
Right there, two +16 baseball betting systems. Don't blame me if you go broke betting on baseball.
Why bet baseball? There are far too many games in an MLB season for Vegas oddsmakers to offer a competitive line. Also, the money odds in baseball are often too closely tied to the starting pitcher, mostly because the general public thinks that the guy standing on the mound at the beginning of the game is somehow more important than the rest of a team's lineup. Use these quirks to your advantage, bet a reliable system, and watch your money grow.
