We'll use this thread for talking about baseball bets, tips, suggestions, etc.
Tonight I put some money on a two-game parlay; San Diego -1.5 (+150) and under 7 total runs (-130).
So far, so good.

Is Tampa's Over/Under line still ridiculously low?
If so (low-70s), OVER.

Got lucky on a parlay last night:
Yankees (No Action), Padres, Rockies (No Action), Mets/Marlins Over 8, Diamondbacks
Didn't win as much as I could have but considering the Rockies were dow n 5-1 in the 3rd but ende up getting postponed, I'll take it.

I think it depends on how much you wager. I've heard negative things about betus in general. I use sportsbook.com and haven't had any problems with them in my 2 years there, but some people have. A lot of people bet hundreds/thousands on single games and I guess the books may screw you on your bet sometimes so I'd research which sites are the best if you aren't a poor college kid like me.

I use CentSports.com, because I live in the United States, and placing your own money in a sports bet online is illegal.
I two game parlayed again today; Angels -1.5 (+125) over the Twins and over 9 (-105) total runs scored in the Rockies vs. Cards game.

CentSports.com seems fishy to me. You can win real money even though you dont have to pay for anything?

Yes, the downside is you have to look at ads, since that is where the money is coming from. It used to be where you had to watch a commercial then rate it, but now the system is alot better.

I ended up doing a two game parlay. Phillies (-1.5) over the Nats. Under 9.5 runs for the Baltimore/TB game.
