This guy and his guarantees continue to be comical. Didn’t learn a thing from the experiences with the Astros and Pirates. Also thinks he’s the first person ever to think of playing both sides of an evenly matched game and pairing that with a heavy favorite.
A few things that will burn you:
- Heavy favorites aren’t “almost guaranteed” to win. In Baseball especially they lose a lot more often than you think
- He’s still not looking at the pitching matchups. If he was he’d realize that the Cardinals and Marlins actually have pretty good pitchers going today. Could be bad news for the Giants and Dodgers.
- if any of those games involving the heavy favorites gets rained out you are guaranteed to lose money because neither the White Sox nor Twins will pay you even money on what would then be a straight bet.
Bottom line…if two of the heavy favorites lose you’ve got a losing day. If only one heavy favorite loses you’re either breaking even or maybe profiting a tiny bit
The reality of the whole thing is that since you’re donating $50 back to the house the White Sox/Twins game really isn’t doing anything for you. You’re basically winding up with the same potential gain (actually it will be a few dollars less) on your two $50 bets as compared to if you had just made a $100 straight bet on the heavy favorite. But of course our first grade math genius doesn’t see this. It would be a couple of dollars difference because both the teams are slightly in the minus…but it’s essentially the same bet…and you’re relying on the same team to win.
There are no guarantees Chrissy. You’re dreaming if you think the sports books haven’t figured all this out.
