Online baseball betting

Strange things are happening on the baseball diamond, and some that are not so strange.

Strange things are happening on the baseball diamond, and some that are not so strange.  The Yankees not being able to maintain their mlb second half run is inexplicable at best. The Padres being exposed in perhaps the weakest division in the history of baseball is not.  Dontrelle Willis?  Another expected demise.

Smart baseball sportsbook bets
Yet if you haven’t jumped already, it is time to take a dip in the ocean, leave the sinking submarine that is the Yankees.  The sportsbooks may still have them winning the division.  By now, it is clear they will not.

This week we will see the baseball version of the Empire, the Bronx Bombers, face off once again with Vlad and the Angels.  This has all the makings of the coup de grace, and is perhaps your last chance to rake the online sportsbooks before they adjust the line to favor Boston.  

Speaking of downward spirals, the Nationals are sliding like bastard children at the playground, and their only strength, their baseball pitching staff, is being held together by crazy glue, of the insane variety.  Yes, I’m talking of one Livan Hernandez, the enigmatic bastard that fucked up baseball game 7 for the Giants a few years back.  Well, he was just one of the Giants problems that year.  But we got rid of them all, got rid of them good.  

These Nationals will be playing the Braves for the right to first place, a spot the Braves have practically used as a baseball jock strap for the last twenty years.  You might ask, who the fuck do the Braves have on their baseball team?  Well, I’ll tell you who they don’t have, the aforementioned Livan Hernandez, which is reason enough to bet the Braves in every baseball game of this series.  Am I a bitter man?  Perhaps.  I prefer to call it experience.

Baseball Betting with online sportsbooks

It was a wild orgy of betting and baseball, a tornado of anarchy and organized mayhem.

Baseball Betting with online sportsbooks
I woke up this morning in my living room, unshaved and smelling of cheap booze and cigarettes.  It was hectic week, a big week in the world of gamblers, online sportsbooks, and the moguls up in Las Vegas.  There were Latino derbies, exhibition games that decided home field advantage, award shows, rivalry baseball games, British golf, and the end of the 2005 World Series of Poker.  It was a wild orgy of betting and baseball, a tornado of anarchy and organized mayhem.   Yet the mlb baseball season waits for no one, and the 162 baseball game marathon will not stop this week simply because I nearly killed myself the week before.

Baseball matchups
The early portion of the week will feature nothing but horse dung, mockeries of baseball matchups that will produce heavy favorites and medium sized underdogs.  The Red Sox will spank the Devil Rays, the Cardinals will annihilate the Brew Crew, and the White Sox will bleach the Tigers.  In fact, the only baseball game worth watching, never mind betting on, will be the rejuvenated Athletics and the Angels.  

Baseball games
Later in the week, the baseball games will get more interesting, with the White Sox and Red Sox fighting for Sox supremacy, as well as representing the colors of God and Satan.  Quite a responsibility, if I do say so myself.  The Steinbrenners, in hot pursuit of the Red Sox, will be facing a powerhouse of their own, the mighty Angels of San Luis Obispo, or wherever they hail from this week.  For you minor league baseball fans, the Cubs and Cards are in play, as well as the Nats and Buttros, er Astros.

Baseball betting lines
However, the savvy bettor knows that the baseball matchup is not the thing, it is the baseball line that is the thing.   In the sportsbook world, a meaningless baseball game in July is just as valuable as the Super Bowl.  Finding a money baseball bet, regardless of what baseball game it is, can ultimately decide winners and losers, separate richer from poorer.

Betting baseball
So keep that in mind, gents and gentiles, when looking at the decrepit schedule this week.  It is not the size of the baseball game, but the size of the deal that counts.  The magnitude of the baseball game should only come into effect when dealing with chokers and those who thrive on the pressure.  These factors should be measured just like any other statistic, like ERA and batting average.  However, such concerns need not be concerned with, if that makes sense, at least for this week.  Find the deal, bet the baseball, and cash your winnings.
