Betting like the Pros
In this article, you will learn how to evaluate baseball value theory by betting on top teams on the road and playing good pitchers on the road.
With internet baseball betting, novices like to hold the misconception that the better team with the better pitcher will win the game. It’s a simple belief that manifests itself in the world of the simple money line bet. However, money line bets make you pay for the privilege of siding with the favorite. Favorites have a - sign attached which means you have to bet that figure to win $100. This means the Yankee +200 would make you bet $200 to win $100.
 Yankees +200 vs. Tampa Bay, one of the league’s worst offenses, may make many bettors salivate. However, with internet baseball betting, it is important not to ignore good old baseball value theory. Good value can be found with top-tier teams performing on the road. Internet baseball betting money line spreads will almost always suggest a less risky -140 to -160 play instead of -200. It’s all about finding winners at prices you are more willing to bet on. Surely, the Yankees at -150 facing the last place Rockies on the road is more enticing than -200 Yankees against the same team at home.
 Value theory also applies to good pitchers as well. Sometimes, playing a Johan Santana or a Roger Clemens at home is not smart because of a risky -200 money line. On the road, you can find the same pitcher at a less risky -140 to -150 clip. The price is lower and your team can still put on a masterful performance with that star pitcher on the mound. Many internet baseball betting enthusiasts prefer to play solid pitchers on the road just for this.
Finally, consider spotting value with run lines and betting totals. Many internet baseball betting aficionados may be weary of betting run lines given the fact so many games end up won by a run, but betting totals (betting over/under the total score) can be a bargain if you recognize offensive tendencies and player strengths (i.e. how well you think Johan Santana is going to hold a bottom feeder team below 3 runs.) All in all, spotting value makes the mark of a solid internet betting baseball pro.
