I bet the Duke NC State over 149.5, not good enough at math to know if I’m on pace I think close enough to have a chance
Anyways enjoying Big #30 on NC State, he’s putting on a show, an absolute unit
Another great day for the doctor, going 3-0 so far, and on pace to win the 4th.
Figures that the one time I tail he goes 0-1.
He's been killing it lately overall. Should I start tailing every pick, or might this ruin it?

Can parlay everyone with Scottie small if site allows it. Maybe he will unshit bed this week with the new putter. But I can’t bet him straight up at his price.

Boutier fucking done after 6 holes and I’m not exaggerating. JFC.
Let's talk spring training betting, where there may be an opportunity.
I think big dogs could be of value in spring training -- but with a caveat.
The advantage to taking big dogs in the spring is that starting pitchers usually don't go more than 3 innings -- and often less than that. Additionally, there are some fail relievers brought in who have zero point zero chance to make the team (or MLB ever), and are just being given some pseudo-MLB experience so the team can look at them a bit better. These pitchers will sometimes get bombed and decide the game. They appear for all teams. This brings on an unpredictability which does not exist in the regular season, where typically all pitchers are MLB quality.
So when you get a team for +180 or +200 in the spring, that can often be great value.
The caveat? There are split squad games where the underdog team barely has any MLB players on the field. There are also games where all or most of the stars are being rested on the underdog team, while the favorite team has most of its regulars. That's how you see weird lines like KC -180 (which won, by the way).
It's also not particularly easy to get lineups in advance, in many cases.
Oh, and there's caveat #2. Big favorites are somehow doing well this year in the spring, from my casual observation. Additionally, the Dodgers (10-3) and Orioles (10-2, and leading right now) are crushing it, and they're often among the big favorites.
But I might play with this a bit and start my MLB betting early.
I'll say one more thing about MLB.
The sport is much easier to bet in the first 2 months. Then it gets significantly harder.
Advanced pitching metrics such as spin rate, velocity, and CSW (called strikes / whiffs) can give you an idea of which pitchers are throwing well, and which are either in decline or starting slowly. As the season wears on, these metrics become less important, as you have a much better idea how everyone is looking (as do the books). But this allows you to fade a good pitcher from 2023 with declining metrics, or to back a sleeper who seems to be on the rise.
While my picks will always be "1 unit" for record keeping here, I might bet bigger during the first 2 months.
I'll try to post some of the metrics I'm using when I post baseball picks in the early regular season, as I did last year.
