Best Baseball Prop Bets
Im a sports betting noob but saw the following prop bets online and think that they were all pretty good. I read a comment in an earlier thread about how it is not worth it to bet baseball props because you are tying up +EV money for a long time but that aside what do you guys think of these odds?
2005 MLB Season - Most Home Runs by Any Player 04/15/05 103 Most Home Runs OFF OFF Over 46.5 (-130) 12:00 ET 150 Games for Action OFF OFF Under 46.5 (Even) MY BET - OVER 2005 MLB Season - Most Losses by Any Pitcher 04/15/05 127 Most Losses OFF OFF Over 18.5 (-115) 12:00 ET 150 Games for Action OFF OFF Under 18.5 (-115) MY BET -- UNDER (19 losses is rare, I think this is a really good one) Barry Bonds - Total Home Runs in 2005 Regular Season 04/15/05 230 Home Runs OFF OFF Over 38.5 (-115) 12:00 ET Must Play 1 Game OFF OFF Under 38.5 (-115) MY BET - OVER (this all depends on the roid effect but I'm betting on bonds) Johan Santana - Total Wins in 2005 Regular Season 04/15/05 403 Wins OFF OFF Over 18.5 (-115) 12:00 ET Must Play 1 Game OFF OFF Under 18.5 (-115) MY BET -- UNDER (although I wouldnt bet the mortgage on this one) Dontrelle Willis - Total Wins in 2005 Regular Season 04/15/05 427 Wins OFF OFF Over 11.5 (-130) 12:00 ET Must Play 1 Game OFF OFF Under 11.5 (Even) MY BET -- OVER (although I wouldnt bet the mortgage on this one) Armando Benitez - Total Saves in 2005 Regular Season 04/15/05 506 Saves OFF OFF Over 37.5 (-115) 12:00 ET Must Play 1 Game OFF OFF Under 37.5 (-115) MY BET -- OVER (although I wouldnt bet the mortgage on this one) Thoughts? -Steve |

Re: Best Baseball Prop Bets
First of all, I'm stupid and should be probably be ignored, but, anyway...

But only 4 of last 10. No clue here. I really wouldn't be comfortable betting the over on any one player's stats for a full season due to injury concerns unless it seemed as if it was a lock if they just stayed healthy. Remember: I suck. |

I don't bet any prop bets like that unless I am getting odds. Ever.

Re: Best Baseball Prop Bets
I'm not touching any of these prop-bets...but if I were I would be with you on every single one of these (although I'm probably 50/50 on Benitez).

Re: Best Baseball Prop Bets
I don't think any of these bets is particularly good. I think the Bonds bet is bad.

[/ QUOTE ] I look at these prop bets as more of a lark than "real" bets, and I think many people view them that way, including the op. Of course, if you know enough about the subject matter of the prop you may legitimately feel that you have a +EV even if you are laying 500 or 1000, as tech mentioned above. I am assuming that the op is not in that position, which explains my response. I also am not a fan of tying my money up for the season unless I'm getting paid off to do it. |
