The MLB 2017 season is underway, here's how to get started and give yourself a chance to make a profit from this typically underused betting market

The new Baseball season has begun and it’s time to be placing those all-important ante post wagers. Will it be the Cubs? The Nationals? The Dodgers? The Red Sox? Maybe even the Rockies or the Astros? Whoever the fancy is for your experienced Baseball bettors, now is the time to get the picks down and start watching the action.

\r\n\r\n

As well as an array of ante post markets at your disposal there is, as ever, a daily range of four to as many as twenty games every night for the next six months and with the action coming so thick and fast, so will the betting opportunities.

\r\n\r\n

For some of you the US Sports market may be an untapped one but with Tipstrr at your disposal, it’s definitely time to start paying attention to the money that can be made in this market. With big limits, in-play action and such a choice of action, betting on Baseball is a fantastic addition to anyone’s betting portfolio.

\r\n\r\n

IF you can find ways to be successful, that is.

\r\n\r\n

The wonderful and weird thing about Baseball is that with factors like home advantage, shuffling starting line-ups and pitcher form, it’s unlike any other sport. Bayern Munich could beat Arsenal 5-1 one week, and 5-1 the next week, for example. A team could easily drop a couple of baseball games 9-0 and still beat that same team 10-0 just a few evenings later.

\r\n\r\n

And the odds are not something to take lightly. A team priced as low as 1.25 are far from a banker, with value to be found all over the shop with underdogs as big as 4.00 regularly posting wins. And whilst the Cincinnati Reds at 275/1 aren’t going to win the ‘World Series’, you can be sure that teams as big as 66/1 like the Colorado Rockies might just have an outside shot. You can even get 7/1 on the ‘clear favourite’.

\r\n\r\n

You can also chance your luck at a bet on which part of the MLB league system (based on location in America) that the team will come from! Personally, we think the ‘American League East’ has as good a shot as any at 7/2 - but you shouldn’t take our word for it (we’re from the UK, so what would we know).

\r\n\r\n

Yes, Baseball is a sport of growing opportunities and wonderful value. We’re seeing several knowledgeable and profitable Baseball Tipsters such as Coach D Sports Picks, who has made a healthy 4% ROI and 566 Units of profit in the past 12 months. You could look at the aptly named MLB Cash, who had an excellent 2016 MLB record (9% ROI from 300+ verified picks), and has started in a positive manner for 2017 too.

\r\n\r\n

Whilst the season is still young and you may not see any action on our Baseball comparison board at present, do remember Tipsters need 30 picks before they are displayed and in this young season, it’s worth noting the likes of Crow Bets were particularly active towards the end of the last MLB season. He made an 11% return on around 60 picks through the final couple months of the season.

\r\n\r\n

Whilst we’re sure more budding Baseball Tipsters will come out of the woodwork in the coming weeks, there’s already a steady flow of Baseball tips on site right now and plenty of betting action for you to sink your teeth in to!
