NYC Baseball - Blind Betting

[Boner_18]

Every year someone asks about the profitability of this strategy. Gonna try to track blind Mets fade and blind Yankees bet until I get tired of it (next week?).

ATL (-109) bet 1.09 to win 1

explain, fiver

Not that I would do it but I would think the blind Yankees fade would be the better bet. Many a square out there in Wagerland inflating the Yankee lines.

 

[Enigma]

yes I agree with muddy

maybe a square pov here but I always wanted to do a fade of the yankees even though I've heard it's lost money in recent years

 

[reno cool]

The Vegas gambler paper used to keep track of that. There's usually a few teams that end up + $ at the end of the year. I don't remember it ever being a team that was highly touted at the start of year.

Because, apparently, Glenn Beck is going blind. I was trying to be funny.

1 week done!

I went to college with a guy that faded the Pirates every game of the year back in 2010 or 2011 I believe. He made money and got on some tv shows for it.
