I mean anything can happen but those red sox teams had competitive teams. Their team just isn't that good. Over 162 game season they get exposed. Their pitching staff is mid and their lineup is meh. And they just lost Xander bogart. The AL East is too stacked this year. Yankees got a little better and Toronto and rays should be real good too. Sox and orioles will be fighting for basement rights. And as a yankees fan couldn't be more happy about it 😀

Well, they also had really good teams who didn't win it for decades, and not that I know very well, but I don't think the top favourite of each season I've looked at has won it. That means no Astros?

Speaking of Yankees, I just saw an old rerun of Seinfeld where Constanza just got a job at the stadium. This was the era before Sox broke their curse.

Bosox basement rights, indeed, getting spanked 9-10 to Orioles!

@buwaytress : tried to bet by using your trick today, decided to go with favourites Houston Astros on my 1st one. Placed higher stake on this and will gradually lower the stake as I choose another option with higher odds. Probably will bet a total of around $100 or something on all these outright bets though

Yeah, fire and forget. If you lose it, it's forgotten by the end of season anyway. If you win it, nice bonus to end the season (that's how I always see these outrights!).

So I think yeah, good to see pre-season odds, and take some of high-value mid-favourites... that's my strat, don't trust it, it's purely based on odds!

good strategy, seasons are long enough for odds to pick-up, and anything can happen
not sure about BoSox, but MLB is not a Bundesliga where Bayern wins every season, eight different winners in last ten years

BoSox winning WS in 2013, 2018, is that their thing, every five years?
will try to pick several outrights as well, during first few weeks, cannot see who will win this season, but eventually from five teams, should at least pick one finalist

Yeah! Sportsbet has a boost on each sport every 24 hours, so I use them all the time for football, tennis, even F1, baseball like MLB when putting on early outrights if the markets come out early. Like during the World Cup, I made 4 or 5 outrights, and scored a big hit on Argentina (boosted to almost 10/1 and regular was below 8, and when tournament started, only 6/1).

Didnt know about this, probably because I only bet on soccer most of time in sportsbet and esports on another site so I wouldnt even know that we get a boost based on different sports. I thought it was once a day or something so when I used my boost on soccer

Quote from: buwaytress on March 31, 2023, 05:26:56 AM

As you can see, it's a modest percentage boost of around 7-10%, which doesn't make a difference for regular odds (but still useful for longshot)... but a huge difference in heavy odds, like outrights Wink

.

Well yeah its huge on outright bets for sure. I might try few for now, I guess that would hurt if I just put $5 each or something on every bet so that would be $50 if I get 10 of them so no biggie

Quote from: arallmuus on March 30, 2023, 06:34:14 PM

H2h statistics shows Houston won 4 times against Chicago White Sox for the last 5 games so I picked that one up but I kinda regretting my bet on Los Angeles Angels as I have just noticed that they have quite a number of injuries (?) so that could affect them I think

Anyway, this one turned out as I suspected it to be yikes. Oakland ended up winning

Oh we have this type of boost? Might be tempted to follow your steps but I dont really want to randomly pick anything yet, guess I'll do abit research for statistics on flashscore

BoSox is sentimental for me, but if you look especially after early games, odds can shift a lot and you can still catch great odds early on. Astros won the last season but lost 8 out of their first 14 games -- not an early favourite IIRC.

Well, hey, guess who's back in with another MLB outright winner? Nothing much, just a fiver, but I might be tempted to repeat the thing I did a few seasons ago (just pick a new outright every day til I have 5 or 6). Gotta make use of that daily baseball boost at Sportsbet.

My first, as usual, BoSox @61.50 (boosted from 56/1!).

I dont really follow baseball but with all those questions and potential questions in the future rounds about baseball in BSFL, I might want to pay abit attention on this thread. So Im counting on you with J mate on sharing tips or whatsoever about MLB

Quote from: casperBGD on March 22, 2023, 09:11:23 AM

interesting enough that Sportsbet favored USA with odds, while some other bookies (Bet365 for example) favored Japan
you could actually take odds above @2 at Japan and USA on different bookies, didn't saw that too often

This kinda reminds me on the previous BSFL question, I took USA thinking that baseball is pretty much one of the favourite game on USA not knowing that Japan is actually pretty good with it as well

nevertheless, didn't bet on those, thought there is a catch somewhere, not sure was there any

with all that, congrats to Japan, they won their third WBC

^ BoSox for me again then. Not as great odds as before. Might actually throw down money on these outsider outrights once a day, as before (2 seasons ago) and update here as they progress (or not).

37/1 on BoSox to kickstart it all: https://sportsbet.io/sharebetslip/841a9694-66ed-46e8-8302-73ed9a173db7

Those odds for the San Fran giants don't look half bad. 41-1. They are in a very tough division but they have a solid squad. Boston is 34-1 and their team has completely dismantled at this point outside of Devers. I might throw a little change on those odds.

Nice call!

And I definitely remember you having some coins on Astros, so well done, you!

Turned my small outlay into a bigger outlay, had I not missed the 4th game, I'd have probably double this (was putting everything won down on Astros all the way).

Nice that I more than covered back my BoSox outright loss 6 months ago (which also settled today to remind me heh).

Hahaha. Anyway recovering on a 3-0 deficit is very rare on the current team of MLB due to there so close stats.

The series is already tied as expected on my previous comment. This is interesting because Astro show a dominance performance on the 5th inning of the game. I didn't expect that Aaron Nola will loose his ball control in 5th inning that leaves Alvarado as substitute in a lot of pressure with a full bases. This is the most sucks situation for a sub pitcher to enter because batter is on fire due to adrenaline and very hard to s.o.

My bet still goes for Philie 4-3 even with this pitcher error.

Yeah, I have got a lot to learn about baseball, and may never truly understand anything until I watch a game properly. Bucket list for sure.

I got my win but it was a literal coin toss for me. Putting it all down again on Astros -- that kind of dominance suggests to me they might just push through and win the next one anyway. Shame the odds have swung back in their favour!
