Welcome to Cash with Flash Best Bets Tuesday MLB Betting Column. We’re excited to be here and we’ll try and write in this space as often as time allows.
We’re sure you are wondering what an “NBA Guy” is doing writing an MLB betting column here at Win Daily?
That’s a very good question and since you asked, you can rest assured that Cash with Flash Best Bets knows exactly what we are doing. In order to arrive at our conclusions, we’ll be using the principles found in Betting Baseball 101
Saturday was a rough one as we went 0-1-1 with our predictions. That leaves us with a 3-1-1 mark over the history of this MLB Betting column.
The most important thing to remember when betting on baseball is finding underdogs as it takes a 52.4 percent success rate at -110 just to break even. This column will offer a mixture of mid to short favorites (-110 to -160) as well as underdogs at +200 and below.
We’re also looking at F5 inning wagers in order to eliminate bullpens and the church league softball extra-inning and doubleheader rules MLB has thrust upon us.
