Good Morning,
1. Many of you will be betting through www.5Dimes.com If you open an account with them they offer some nice bonuses. Their default bonus is reduced juice
(lower commissions). Reduced juice is great, but it does not help us the way we bet.
Ask for the the 50% Plus New Player Reward. Also, any fees like Western Union will be added to your account as long as you deposit at least $250.00 Make sure you ask for it when you make a deposit.
(By the way, I am not affiliated with 5Dimes,but they are financially strong, they offer the type of bets that we want, and they are swift in their payouts).
2. Baseball lines are available overnight, however, the 5 Inning lines are usually not posted until 10:30 or 11:00 so you might have to wait before you place you bet.
3. 5Dimes accepts phone bets, but the minimum is $50.00
4. They have an excellent live chat if you have any questions about your account.
5. All bets are (listed pitchers). If a pitcher is scratch at the last minute it sinply becomes a voided bet.
6. When you want to receive money from them (payout) it is best to do so between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm on a Monday. One Monday a month there is no fee to get your money request. I usually have then wire the money to my bank account.
7. If you deposit by Western Union which is what I normally do you will need to ask them exactly who to send the money to. It changes daily. Live chat will be very helpful.
8. I recommend 4% of your bankroll per play. If you are new or nervous start
with 3%.
9. You will probably see more National League plays than American League plays. We like lower scoring games. The National League averages about one less run per game because they do not use the designated hitter, which of course, the American League does.
10. Baseball is a marathon not a sprint. The best teams will have losing streaks and the worse teams will have winning streaks. Expect great days, average days and losing days. Sometimes we will get blown out and other times we will win easily. Losing bets come with the territory.
Stick very tight to your money management. This should be an exciting season. If we can reach our goal of 50% winners, we will make a lot of money. All we focus on is the first 5 innings. Good luck to all of us.
Regards,
George

Five Things You Should Know about Baseball Betting
1. There is less money bet on Baseball than Basketball and Football. In an earlier blog I pointed out that more money is bet on the NFL (16 regular season games) than in all of baseball, where each team plays 162 games. This absolutely favors our style of betting. We can find a lot of bets under the radar screen in baseball. If Kansas Ciy beats Oakland it counts the same as The Yankees beating the Red Sox.
2. Many people shy away from moneyline betting for various reasons. Number one is that at lot of folkes simply do not understand or are not at ease betting
moneylines. They are more comfortable with point spread betting, So they skip baseball.BIG MISTAKE.
3. Never, ever bet on a team that is favored. A lot of people will cringe hearing this and yes many favorite do win games. We focus strickly on moneyline underdogs that we believe have a 50% chance of leading after five innings. In the long run, if you discipline yourself to focus on one style of betting you are better off than betting a buffet of favorites, underdogs, totals and runlines.
4. The price you pay to bet a strong team that is favored will cost you money. Last year, for example, Tampa Bay was 96W-66 loses. If you bet on every game they played you would have lost about 10 units. The prime reason for this is that that the line is almost always inflated when a good team is playing a bad team. Of course there are winning teams that will make you money over the long haul, but why risk betting on them. There are just so many underdogs that have great value. Do not look for a sure thing or can't lose opportunity. Even if the favorite has the best pitcher in baseball going, you will find that anything, and I mean anything can happen.
5. Baseball is a marathon, not a sprint. By going for singles and doubles rather than home runs, you will make money. One thing you can say about baseball....there is always tommorow

The Baseball Marathon
THE FOLLOWING POST WAS WRITTEN BY SEAN MURPHY. I AM NOT THE AUTHOR. I AGREE WITH MOST OF MOST OF WHAT HE SAYS IN THE ARTICLE AND HAVE PUT MY COMMENTS NEXT TO EACH PARAGRAPH IN BOLD >
_____________________________________________________________________
Baseball may be known as America’s favorite pastime, but when it comes to betting, it generally takes a backseat to football and basketball. (More money is bet on the NFL- 16 regular seasons games than the MLB 162 regular season games. That is a good thing for us. There are so many games in baseball so it is easier to find hidden gems). That doesn’t mean there isn’t money to be made on the diamond. The summer can be a profitable time of year, as long as you’re willing to put in a little time and effort.
Moneyline betting requires a much different approach to that of pointspread betting. Discipline is the key and not making a habit of investing in big favorites is paramount. (Agree)
You can win 60 percent of the time and still see your bankroll shrink if you’re not careful. ( This happens when you bet on favorites.....something we never do).
Perhaps the most important notion to drill into your head is that even the best teams lose close to 40 percent of the time. The Pittsburgh Pirates finished with the worst record in baseball in 2010, but still won 57 games, or 35 percent of the time. That’s why laying big prices on a regular basis is a sure ticket to the poorhouse.
(Totally Agree).
Be smart about your wager amounts. It may be clichéd, but the MLB season is a marathon, not a sprint. Don’t lose your shirt in April when many of the best opportunities to cash in on the diamond come in the dog days of summer. (Agree)
Unlike other professional sports, which top out at 82 games, teams are on the field almost every day over the course of a 162-game season. There are going to be spots where they don’t bring the proper level of focus. (Happens very frequently).
Scouting pitching matchups has to become as much a part of your daily routine as brushing your teeth. There’s a reason why starting pitchers are listed right next to the game lines at every sportsbook. You won’t find an individual player with as much control over the odds in any sport. (True)
With that in mind, starting pitchers are only part of the equation. Solely basing your wager on who’s taking the ball on that particular day can lead to frustration.
(He is right. it is not just about the starting pitcher).
With today’s pitch counts, starters will often work six innings or less, leaving at least a third of the game in the hands of the bullpens. You can’t count on a starter to toss a complete game every time he takes the hill, so you’re more than likely going to be relying on a team’s relief corps when the game is on the line. Pay attention to those bullpens and how teams fare in one-run ball games. ( We only play on the first 5 innings of baseball games, so the bullpen and bench usually do not factor into our analysis).
Don’t doubt defense
Defense might just be the most overlooked area of the game when it comes to baseball handicapping. Teams that avoid those costly mistakes in the field win more often – it doesn’t get much simpler than that.(True).
Hot and cold
Make sure you pay attention to streaks. It’s not uncommon to see teams go on extended winning or losing runs lasting 10 games or more. The betting marketplace is often a little slow to the take when it comes to these hot or cold teams. As a general rule, it’s rarely a good idea to step in front of streaks on the diamond.
(Streaks are one of the main factors that we look out before making a play).
We will only be betting on underdog money line plays for the first 5 innings.

The Dangers of a Winning Streak
I know we have had three great days in a row. I wish we had 30 great days in a row, but that is not going to happen. Please do not get trigger happy and bet more than your normal amount. We are looking for singles and doubles, not home runs. Enjoy the winning streaks and work through the losing streaks. Do not let your emotions get too high or low. Stick to your money management.
Our goal as many of you know is to win 50% of our 1st half or first 5 inning plays.
If we do that, we will make a lot of money.
By the way, I can't believe that baseball is just a little more than a week away. Baseball is a great sport to bet on. Every year you see predictions of how teams are going to do for the season. And every year you see teams defy the predicions.
We will be looking for the hidden gems, and there will be plenty of them.
Baseball is very beatable. There is more money bet each year on the NFL (16 games) than is bet on MLB (162 games). A lot of people don't bet baseball because they are comfortable betting on the point spread as opposed to money line betting. That plays right into our hands since we only bet money line underdogs.

Let the Festivities Begin
This is one of the best times of year to get started. We have March Madness and MLB coming up. There will be a lot of situations that play right into our hands. Expect upsets as they always happen. Today, I have three strong NCAA tournament play and there will be more to come. Normally I charge $79.00 per month through Fazzer Sports, where I am the moneyline specialist.
Fazzer Sports and I have the understanding that I can obtain new clients through my own efforts. For new folkes I will give the rest of March and April free for only $49.00.
If you request a PayPal invoice, I will send it and you can get started right away.

Timing Matters
Yesterday I had a strong play on E. Carolina vs. UCF. East Carolina was behind 39-34 at the half, so the bet was a loss. The first half takeback, by the way was +135.
E. Carolina came out like gangbusters in the second half and outscored UCF 41-21 to win the game 75-60. It reminded me of the the saying "the operation was a success, but the patient died".
I had the right side, but my timing was off. This is part of the process we go through. We will have the same thing happen to us frequently in our favor. So I am not upset or mad. I am realistic. The key is to make all the plays I recommend and you will be profitable. You have look at this as a long term investment.
I reduced my fee for the rest of March to $39.00, because it is already the tenth of the month. Just contact me if you want to get started.

Why I did not Bet on Miami or Ohio State
This morning I sent out the e-mail below. A couple of clients asked me why I did not bet on the favorites which both won the first half easily (Miami eventually lost the game but they came out on fire and won the first half).
The best answer is that I find that focusing and disciplining myself to only bet money line underdogs for the first half works over time for me. Like every handicapper, including the legendary Billy Waters, I am going to have my ups and downs. But, that is my specialty and the area I am most comfortable with. I know I will make money.
Some people bet favorites, underdogs, totals and proposition bets all in the same day and I am sure that some of them do very well. But if you work with me, expect only one type of play. Call or e-mail me if you have any questions

Good Morning,
Today we have NO PLAYS. The card for today is very light. There are two games that absolutely meet our criteria. However, my experience and sixth sense tells me not to play either game.
Chicago vs Miami - the first half moneyline for Chicago will come in around +150. The main reason for not betting this game is that I don't want to go against Miami in their own barn.......especially since they have lost three games in a row. I expect the Heat to come out very motivated in the first half.
Wisconsin vs Ohio State - the first half moneyline for Wisconsin will come in at a whopping +180 or higher. The issue here is purely emotional. Ohio State is playing at home and there is a huge revenge factor. Wisconsin came back to beat them in their last meeting after being behind by 15 points. The Ohio State players felt that they were dissed after the last meeting. I would expect them to come out strong.
As I have said before, sometimes less is more. We will get them tomorrow.

Professional Betting vs Recreational Betting
This article is taken from the Fazzer Sports archives. I am not the author
When comparing types of people who bet on sports, over the years it has been easy to see glaring differences between those who lose money betting on sports, and those who are able to show long term profits betting on sports. Let’s take a look at 3 of these differences and how they can help teach you to become more profitable betting on sports.
Long term winners have a detailed plan. Losers have no plan.
People who win long term treat sports betting as a serious business, not just a weekend hobby. They run their operations no different than if they were the head of a Fortune 500 company. No different than working as a Wall Street trader, serious sports bettors have specific goals that they are trying to achieve over a specific period of time – trying to maximize return on investment while taking the proper steps to minimize their risk.
On the other hand the “weekend warrior” has virtually no chance to win long term at sports betting. They treat it like gambling – with no specific plan and often times unrealistic expectations as to what they should be trying to accomplish and what is involved.
Long term winners have realistic goals. Losers gamble with the hopes of the big score.
If someone told me that I could have a 20% return on any investment, compounded for the next 25 years – from in investment standpoint I would be one VERY happy person! But the average losing sports bettor does not understand how powerful numbers like these can be over the long term. They want to turn $500 into $2500 in the course of one football season…and think that they can do it just because they watch every single football game each Sunday. Well more times than not the $500 is all gone by week 3 or 4 and they are left scratching their head saying, “What happened?”
Long term winners have proper bankrolls. Losers continue to reload their accounts.
Now why do losers continue to reload their accounts? They are betting too much per game. Let’s take the conservative 2% rule again. If someone starts with $500 they should be betting $10 a game. “What $10 dollars a game…..I can’t make any money betting only $10 a game…!” And herein lies the problem again. People start betting more than they should, because to make the money they are looking to make, they have to gamble with the small chance they will get on that 70% hot streak. But what happens 95% of the time? The hot streak never happens and their $500 dollars is gone before they know it.
Review of Key Points
Create a detailed plan
Have realistic goals
Understand proper bet size and bankroll
If you can have a good understanding of these three concepts, and have the discipline to follow them – you will be better off than over 90% of the people who bet on sports. Aim to become a long term winner…and not a losing gambler!

Betting on Baseball
Good Afternoon,
It is hard to believe that baseball is right around the corner. When we play on baseball teams we focus on the first five innings. We always look for underdogs that we feel have a 50% chance of being ahead after the first five innings.
Baseball is one of the easier sports to beat. There are so many games to choose from as each team plays 162 games. It is interesting to note that football and basketball betting dwarfs the amount of money that is bet on baseball. A lot of people are used to betting on the point spread and they are not comfortable betting on the money line. That's fine with us.
Our goal is to make money. If you win a baseball game between The Washington Nationals and the Kansas City Royals it counts the same as winning a bet between the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers.
A lot of my clients are not into baseball, but all of them are into making money.
Let me know if you have any questions about baseball betting.
Regards,
George
