Best MLB Betting System

I’ve never understood certain things about baseball handicapping services and sports handicapping services in general. There are some that have been around for a while and others that seem to pop up and go under in less than a year. I do know the reason they exist as there are many that continuously try to turn a small sum of money into a large some overnight and fall into the dreaded traps of the industry. However, here are a few things I just simply have trouble understanding;

1. Get my winning baseball picks for only $199 a month! Okay you want me to pay you $199 per month for your winning baseball picks yet I have no idea of how large of a bankroll I need and how many units your service has won or lost during the year?

2. Sign up now! XYZ Service Plays are on a 12-3 run in our last 15! OK, your service is 12-3 over the last 15 plays but how many units in profit is that and if I was following your plays since the beginning of the month or year how many units would I be up or down?

3. Sign up NOW! Our plays hit over 80% of the time! No they don’t there is no baseball handicapper alive or dead that can consistently hit over 80%. Do you truly believe that people are that dumb?

4. We’ve made our clients over 30 Units a Year for the last 3 years. You’re missing out so sign up today for only $250 per month! Some simple math here. The baseball regular season is 6 months long and you want me to pay you $250 per month or $1500. Even if your plays result in a year-end profit of 30 Units after taking the cost of your service into consideration I would have made 15 Units in profit. Not great but not bad but the cost of the service is too expensive. Why aren’t there any reasonably priced baseball handicapping services?

In defense of the baseball handicapping service industry and sports betting handicapping industry there must be some ethical service providers out there. Then again, I don’t personally know of any. If you know of any or agree or disagree with my post let me know.

I’ve been asked many times on how to win betting baseball. The answer is that in order to win betting baseball you have to handle losing when you bet on baseball.

How to handle losing when betting on baseball? Yes, how to handle losing when betting on baseball. I know that for the most part the amount of winning days as opposed to losing days throughout the marathon that is the Major League Baseball Season will be about even for me at the end of the year. I go into a day knowing that I have about a 50/50 chance of either making money for the day or losing money for the day.

What I look forward to throughout the baseball season is that my losing days are for small amount and my winning days will be big. It’s easy to get into panic mode when you made selections for a week and the end of it you find yourself down a few hundred dollars. Most will go into panic mode and throw a large sum on a game just for the sake of recouping losses. As of this post I’m down a little over 2 units for the month of July. Am I in panic mode? Heck no as there’s still 10 days of games for the month of July after today and a lot can happen in that time frame.

I look at my games for today cashing and even if they both drop and I wind up being down a little over 4 units I still won’t panic. Why? Remember it’s the baseball investor mind set. Being down does not mean out as long as you’re up for the season. I’ve seen the best of baseball handicappers lose their minds and throw away profits made over 4 months in a week.

Don’t let this happen to you. Whether you’re playing my picks, fading my picks (It’s a mistake by the way) or make your own picks but visit the BestMLBSystem.com blog from time to time you can’t win betting on baseball until you can handle losing betting on baseball. Whenever you feel down and out just remember winning is awesome and feels great and losing not so much. However, it’s your ability to lose and keep things in perspective that will make you successful.

My friends always want to know how is it that I consistently make money over the course of the MLB Baseball Season each and every year. The simple answer is my mindset.

I look at the baseball season as an investment opportunity. For example, let’s say I start the season with a $5,000 bankroll. At a certain point during the first month my bankroll is at $6,200 and then goes down to $5,500. Most people would like at this and say that I lost $1,200. I say that I’ve made $500 on my investment or a 10% return on my money.

One of the biggest mistakes sports bettors make is to look at their bankroll and believe they have lost money if their bankroll goes below their season high. This is a sure way to lose money year after year. Think of it this way. Say you own stock that you bought at $10 a share. Throughout the year the shares have fluctuated went as high as $18 but at the end of the year is worth $12.50 a share. As the stock owner did you lose $6.50 a share or did you make $2.50 a share? Obviously you made $2.50 a share and the stock is worth more than what you purchased it at.

Where sports bettor get into trouble is when they constantly try to get above the season high and start to chase and double down. Think of how ridiculous this is. Let’s take a look at the stock share example again. You purchased at $10, the stock went as high as $18 and now stands at $12.50. As a sports betting loser you would then purchase another stock and hope that the stock increases in value by $5.50 a share and more so you recoup your “losses.”

Back in late June of this year my profit for this season was a little over 26 Units and now stands at a little over 19 Units. Many people will look at this and say, wow you lost 7 units. No I’m still up 19 Units in profit. I should also go beyond 26 units again at some point in the season as well. My mindset is that as long as my bankroll does not fall below my starting bankroll I’m in great shape and still making money. Had I started chasing loses I may be totally bust at this point.

I look at my bankroll like a stock portfolio. My bankroll (portfolio) is going to fluctuate over the course of the season. It will gain value and loss value but the end result is to make a profit. If you want to be a successful baseball bettor develop this mindset and your one step closer to becoming a profitable.

One thing that really bothers me about baseball bettors and sports bettors in general is the notion that a person can start with a bankroll of say $1,000 and turn that $1,000 into $100,000 at the end of the year. These are the baseball gamblers of the world.

Baseball gamblers will start with a bankroll of $1,000 and gamble that they will turn that $1,000 into $10,000 dollars at the end of the season. Sure, there are people that are capable of doing this but they are few and far between. Baseball gamblers will chase by doubling down, parlay and do all sorts of crazy things in order to make fast money.

Baseball investors realize that there are over 2,400 games played during the Major League Baseball season, have proper money management skills and are looking to make a return on investment. A baseball investor will start a baseball season with a set bankroll and is happy to make a 20-30% return at the end of the season. The baseball investor does not chase, sticks to his plan and takes the good days in stride along with the bad days.

It’s the ability to shake off losing days that truly separates baseball investors from baseball gamblers. The simple fact of the matter is that it’s impossible to win every day and there will be times when a bad losing streak will happen. The baseball investor continues on knowing that things will eventually turn around where the baseball gambler refuses to realize that he’s in a slump and will start to chase and worst of all go all in on a play hoping to recoup all loses and turn a profit.

The sports betting community is comprised mostly of sports gamblers. If sports gambler could just change their mentality they could become successful sports investors.

So are you a baseball gambler or a baseball investor?
