Whether you are already betting on MLB or just a beginner I’m sure you will enjoy this article and learn a thing or two. So read on.
Tip #1: Stay away from heavy favorites.

Favorites are favorite to win for a reason. That is they are really good in their field and play well. But are favorites really going to win you huge money? The answers is No. As a generally rule, I don't bet on any MLB team that's around -160 or higher. The principle is a sound one. The more money you lay--without getting anything in return--the more you have to win to just break even. Let's look at an example using a heavy favorite of -200. You are laying $2 to win $1. Right away we can see that we must pick winners 66% of the time just to break even. This is ridiculous. Take the best team in baseball and look at their win percentage. It's generally around 60-62%. Sure, the team playing a heavy favorite is probably not that good, but baseball is a funny game. Rather than getting suckered in, look for other betting options or steer clear of heavy favorites.

Tip #2: If you really want to bet on a heavy favorite, do it on the run line.
The run line is baseball is a spread and money line combination. In this case, you will be laying 1.5 runs--so your team must win by 2 or more--but you will be knocking down the money laid. Many good teams will beat poor teams by two or more. By betting them on the run line, you can knock off significant money. Perhaps the team you were going to wager on that was over the mark set in tip number one is now down to -120.

Tip #3: Don't bet on road teams going for the sweep
Yes, road teams do sweep, but it's very hard. Looking over recent history, a home team only gets swept about 10% of the time. Good ones get swept even less. You could say that a secondary tip would be to bet on home teams trying to avoid the sweep. That's up to you. My main point is to simply walk away from games where you like the visitor, but that team is going for the sweep.

MLB betting is fun and exciting and can be a steady source of income if you already know the right ways to bet. So test these suggested tips today and see if they help you win. Hit me back some comment on what happened.
