I have over 52 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 5: seven thousand baseball bats tracked in the Action Network app 53 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 5: at this point, have over twenty one hundred bets midway 54 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 5: through the twenty two seasons. So it is a lot 55 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 5: of volume, a lot of consistency. But over that time, 56 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 5: I basically built up a handstample, like playing thousands of 57 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 5: poker hands, where I know what I'm good at, what 58 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 5: I need to adjust, where I can improve. 59 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I'm My story is kind of similar 60 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 6: to Sean. So I started betting pretty much every sport, 61 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 6: but especially baseball in about twenty eleven when I was 62 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 6: a freshman in college, really just I'd played baseball in 63 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 6: my life and was just really interested in seeing if 64 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 6: it could be profitable from a long run standpoint. 65 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: And you know, first. 66 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 6: Off, I didn't know what models were projections were back then, 67 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 6: And I'm similar to Sean. 68 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: Around twenty fifteen twenty sixteen. 69 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 6: When I was an accountant and I finally learned how 70 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 6: to muse it sell, I started building out a projection 71 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 6: model based on base runs after reading a book called 72 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 6: Trading Bases, which really intrigued me and got me kind 73 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 6: of down this path of using projections not only for 74 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 6: baseball but for every single sport, and really treating baseball 75 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 6: as kind of an investment strategy rather than just a 76 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,399 Speaker 6: gambling strategy that over the long run, if you're consistently 77 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 6: betting things that have expected value, well, in the long run, 78 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 6: you're gonna end up making money. Now, that's not going 79 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 6: to be true from maybe even a fully season standpoint, 80 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 6: but as we go further and further into the future, 81 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 6: if I consistently keep betting things that have expected value 82 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 6: based on a projection model that has shown that it 83 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 6: can make money over time, then you know, I'm going 84 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 6: to keep betting the support on a daily basis and 85 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 6: just ride the waves, the downswings. 86 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 3: And the upswings. 87 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 4: I mean, so the bonafides are clearly there, and I 88 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 4: love the way you guys kind of describe it as 89 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 4: having your own model, but then and kind of getting 90 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 4: honed over time. 91 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 3: It's like me playing blackjack. Eventually, I just know what 92 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 3: to do when I have an. 93 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 4: Eleven facing a six, right, and so you get a 94 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 4: little bit more comfortable over time. But you guys talk 95 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 4: about how hard it is. Let's start from the beginning, like, 96 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 4: what are some of the basics that people will have 97 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 4: to learn to try to be profitable in this market? 98 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 4: What are some of the fun foundational pillars you need 99 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 4: to know? I mean, one of the things I think of, 100 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 4: guys is, I mean, you're gonna have to be comfortable 101 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 4: betting on some pretty bad teams. Even the worst teams 102 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 4: in the league may win only fifty five sixty sixty 103 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 4: five games a year, But if they're doing that at 104 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 4: plus two thirty five in those sixty three wins, then 105 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 4: that's really profitable. 106 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 3: Right. So, Sean, what are some of. 107 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 4: The kind of like pillars here for someone trying to 108 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 4: actually start to bet baseball? 109 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 2: Yeah? 110 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 5: For me, prices everything you kind of mentioned it, Dane, 111 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 5: I don't care about what my winning percentage is at 112 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 5: the end of the year. Now. I know over time, 113 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 5: if I'm winning about forty nine percent of my bets, 114 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 5: I'm doing well. If I'm winning forty five percent, I'm 115 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 5: breaking even if I'm losing sixty percent of my bets. 116 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 5: If I'm going to be winning forty percent of my bets, 117 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 5: I'm probably having a down period. So I need to 118 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 5: win about forty five percent of the time to break 119 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 5: even at the average odds that I'm betting. But that 120 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 5: being said, prices everything, absolutely everything. I don't care if 121 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 5: you think the Yankees are seventy five percent likely to 122 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 5: win tonight. That may be the case. But if you're 123 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 5: giving me odds saying that the team who're there facing 124 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 5: if I projected at twenty five percent, if you're saying 125 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 5: that they're only going to win twenty percent of the time, 126 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 5: if you're giving me plus four hundred on a line 127 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 5: that I have projected closer to plus three hundred, I'm 128 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 5: going to bet that every single time. I may not 129 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 5: win tonight, may not win tomorrow, but in a three 130 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 5: game series over the course of a season, I know 131 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 5: I'm expecting to come out ahead. At some point, I 132 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 5: may win thirty at of those one hundred bets where 133 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 5: you say the market says I'm only going to win 134 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 5: twenty five out of one hundred, So I'll take those 135 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 5: five wins, take those onto my profit line, and as 136 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 5: we said, grind out of profit. If I win a 137 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 5: third of a unit every day across an entire season, 138 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 5: I'm going to be up to sixty units head at 139 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 5: the end of the year. So if I just generate 140 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 5: that plus money, generate that small return of my investment, 141 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 5: three dollars back for every one hundred dollars I'm putting down, 142 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 5: So one hundred and three for every hundred dollars I'm 143 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 5: putting down. I think eventually I'm going to come out ahead. 144 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 5: So prices everything for me. But you really have to 145 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,119 Speaker 5: get a comfortable betting on ugly things, ugly underdogs against 146 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 5: good teams, betting overs in games between two good pictures, 147 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 5: betting unders and games between two bad pictures. You have 148 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 5: to find the things that nobody else wants to bet. 149 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 5: That's generally where you're going to find your value, and 150 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 5: you have to stick to your price targets and don't 151 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 5: go beyond those. 152 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 4: Now, it's really like you said, talking about inching it 153 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 4: up the hill in some way, BJ, What about you, 154 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 4: you know, especially if someone who is new to this 155 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 4: game trying a bit baseball, what would be some of 156 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 4: the things you would tell them right out the gate. 157 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 6: If you're handicapping baseball, remove general statistics like batting average, 158 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 6: R and RBIs from any of your handicapping, because in 159 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 6: today's age, they don't mean anything. Well, and this is 160 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 6: more specifically in sports betting in general, we're not betting 161 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 6: on what's happened in the past. We're trying to bet 162 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 6: on what's going to happen in the future, essentially the 163 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 6: game in front of us. So using expected indicators like 164 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 6: expected ERA, expected FIP, expected weighed on base average, expected 165 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 6: batting average, all of these things are much more useful 166 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 6: and much more predictive of what a team, or especially 167 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 6: a pitcher is going to be in the long run. 168 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 6: So for let's just take, for example, there's a game 169 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 6: in the middle of the season between the Orioles and 170 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 6: the Cubs. Oriols had Spencer Watkins on the mound, the 171 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 6: Cubs had Justin Steele. If you look at everything on paper, 172 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 6: Spencer Watkins has around a three point ninety RA. Justin 173 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 6: Steele is around four point one. Well, if we dig 174 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 6: into those expected indicators, well, Spencer Watkins has drastically been 175 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 6: overperforming his metrics and he's around a five point four 176 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 6: expected the RA, while Justin Steel is underperforming, where his 177 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 6: expected the ARA is around three point three. So you're 178 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 6: getting almost like a two run difference between starting pitchers 179 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 6: that on paper look very similar. So it's situations like 180 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 6: that where you can generate a profit and then price 181 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 6: point is everything. On that same game, you know, the 182 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 6: Cubs opened at minus one twenty five and then they 183 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 6: close at minus one fifty. Because people see those type 184 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 6: of regression stats, they're going to happen. So getting those 185 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 6: lines early get him at the best possible price point 186 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 6: that you can. You know, if you follow Sean in 187 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 6: the app, he always gives you the price point of 188 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 6: where he's going to stop betting it. So, yeah, if 189 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 6: you can see that and you can bet it within 190 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 6: that price range, you know, again, like we've mentioned, over 191 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 6: the long run, you will be able to at least 192 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,559 Speaker 6: in theory turn of profit. 193 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 2: Now it might not be one year, but over a 194 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 2: long run of two three years. 195 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 196 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 4: One of the things I really love Sean that you 197 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 4: do in the app, you know, and BJ just mentioned 198 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 4: it is when you make a play. You know, the 199 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 4: line might be, you know, minus one sixty five, and 200 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 4: you'll say bet it to minus one forty five, you know, 201 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 4: or whatever the case may be for that specific bet, 202 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 4: giving people kind of the actual range of when this 203 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 4: is still valuable to do up until what markers so we. 204 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 3: Really like that. 205 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 4: And Sean, you know, you also mentioned earlier the idea of, 206 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 4: you know, betting on other sports to kind of hone 207 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 4: your craft as well. But what what is actually unique 208 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 4: to betting baseball, you know, or Major League Baseball? Where 209 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 4: the saying always is right momentum is the name of 210 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 4: tomorrow's starting pitcher. We have so many markets besides just 211 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 4: the side and the total, we have first five markets 212 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 4: to bet which are really unique to the game, where 213 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 4: you can isolate the bullpen or the starting pitcher. And then, 214 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 4: to be quite honest, the thing I always ask every 215 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 4: day during the summer if the Cubs are at home 216 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 4: is what direction is the wind blowing out? So that's 217 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 4: a really interesting feature that doesn't necessarily happen in other sports. 218 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 4: What are some of the things that maybe unique to 219 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 4: betting Major League Baseball? 220 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, as you mentioned, whether it's certain parks is completely 221 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 5: dramatic and can totally influence a total being at eleven 222 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 5: and a half versus seven and a half at Ridleyfield, 223 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 5: whether it's blowing out or in really one of the 224 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 5: more dramatic ones for that. But whether the roof is 225 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 5: closed that certain parks two in Arizona or in Texas 226 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 5: can really influence the total as well. 227 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: They should have closed the roof in ninth inning of 228 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: Game seven in two thousand and one. First of all, 229 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: that's why they spent a million dollars for the roof. 230 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 3: And you get a little strip there going you know whatever, 231 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 3: I digress. I'm sorry, go ahead. 232 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 5: Shot now, I mean, And it happens in the middle 233 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 5: of the game sometimes where in Arizona they'll open the 234 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 5: roof or they'll shut the roof and the run environment 235 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 5: will completely change. So you may have a bed under 236 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 5: and over and undergoing into the game that look good, 237 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 5: and you bet it based upon the dynamics of the 238 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 5: stadium going into that matchup, and then the stadium environment 239 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 5: may change in the middle of the game. But these 240 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 5: teams play these games play out completely differently at different parks. 241 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 5: You look at park like Open which is massive foul 242 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 5: ground territory. Well, they tend to acquire a lot of 243 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 5: starting pitchers to generate pop ups because they're going to 244 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 5: get a lot of free outs, footballs and foul territory 245 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 5: that would just go out of play at other parks. 246 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 5: But one thing I will say, and we talked about 247 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 5: it being a grind. The time horizon is very short. 248 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 5: There's basically fifteen games every day, five out of the 249 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 5: seven days out of the week, NBA, NHL. 250 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 3: It's rare. 251 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 5: I would say it's more rare that all the teams 252 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 5: are playing in a given day. NFL, you're handicapping for 253 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 5: two or three days per week as opposed to handicapping 254 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 5: every single day. So to be prepared to make a 255 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 5: lot of bets every day to pay big positive and 256 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 5: negative swings because you're probably going to have a lot 257 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 5: of action on a particular day. And guessing the lineups 258 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 5: can be where it's really difficult. You don't know if 259 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 5: certain star players are going to be out. They may 260 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 5: get announced out late. The lineups are only going to 261 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 5: come out three four hours before a game, so you're 262 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 5: kind of guessing who's going to be in the lineup. 263 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 5: Mike Trout may leave the lineup the night before getting 264 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 5: hit or getting hit by pitch, getting hurt, So is 265 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 5: he going to be in the lineup tomorrow? They're saying 266 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 5: he's day to day, so you have to probably assume 267 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 5: he's out, and then if he's in, you may have 268 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 5: to adjust your projection on the fly and end up 269 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 5: adjusting how you bet that game by on or off 270 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 5: your position. And then on top of that, I think 271 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 5: starting pitchers may influence lines for a game even more 272 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 5: than quarterbacks influence a line for a football game. I 273 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 5: think starting pitchers drive about seventy percent of the line 274 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 5: for any MLB game. So who's the starting pitcher is 275 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 5: going to be? It's very difficult for me to give 276 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 5: you a line unless you tell me who the starting 277 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 5: pitcher is going to be, And sometimes teams hold those 278 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 5: back until a few hours before first pitch. So you're 279 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 5: trying to hit moving targets very often with lineups projecting 280 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 5: lineups projecting starting pitchers. One thing you can control seeing 281 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 5: which relievers are rested, knowing which relievers might be rested 282 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 5: coming into the game, which teams are willing to use 283 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 5: certain relievers when they're a head, when they're behind. So 284 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 5: we'll talk about live betting in a bit, but all 285 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 5: of that feeds into knowing your bullpens, knowing who's available, 286 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 5: and everything else. You're basically trying to hit moving targets 287 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 5: with expectant lineups. 288 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 3: No, it's absolutely true. 289 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 4: You know you talked about injury, but I thought about 290 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 4: that as well, billpen availability on a day by day basis, 291 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 4: you talk about the starting pitcher. I mean, it's interesting 292 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 4: sometimes the Dodgers are still minus one to eighty with TBD. 293 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 3: As their starter. 294 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 4: But outside out of that, you know, the starting pitcher 295 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 4: obviously moves the needle. 296 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 3: Hey, BJ, what about you? 297 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 4: What are some of the things you look about that 298 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 4: maybe unique to betting baseball? 299 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 3: Like some things the schedule I think matters. 300 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 4: We have double headers in Major League Baseball where we 301 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 4: don't have that in other sports. 302 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 3: We've got the day game after. 303 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 4: A night game, getaway day on Wednesday's midweek. How are 304 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 4: some of these other kind of intricacies of the Major 305 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 4: League Baseball schedule actually impact the way. 306 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 3: You bet baseball? 307 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, so it's seeing to Shann's point about how it's 308 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 6: betting sports is very differently. So if you're betting a sport, 309 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 6: you know, for example, like college football or NFL, what 310 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 6: I'm doing throughout the week is I'm watching the market 311 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 6: for Saturday and Sunday. So I'm trying to get the 312 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 6: best possible line that I can, whether it be that 313 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 6: on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, whatever it is. 314 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 2: Baseball is just a quick turnaround. 315 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 6: So for me, I mean, I know Sean does this 316 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 6: as well, but the night before I'm grinding projections. I'm 317 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 6: trying to figure out, Okay, which games or teams am 318 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 6: I showing value on and which lines do I need 319 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 6: to hit right now. 320 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 2: It's what's very unique about baseball. 321 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 6: You know, obviously we talk about the grind for four, five, 322 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 6: you know, six months, but managing those type of swings 323 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 6: and knowing that in the long. 324 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 2: Run you're going to be okay is honestly kind of 325 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 2: tough to handle. 326 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 6: You know, Baseball there's so much unpredictably from a day 327 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 6: to day basis, just a grind more than anything else, 328 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 6: because it's the only sport that, like Sean said, we 329 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 6: could get every single team playing for in a given 330 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 6: day for one hundred and sixty two games. No other 331 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 6: league is playing that many games on a day to 332 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 6: day basis. So these swings and these outcomes and everything 333 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 6: are right there for the taking on a. 334 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 2: Day to day basis. 335 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 6: So it's it's a difficult sport to kind of guide, 336 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 6: you know, steer the ship and try and manage it 337 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 6: with a bankroll and everything like that. But you know, 338 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 6: if you're managing your bankroll correctly. You know, hopefully the 339 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 6: swings aren't too Hopefully these swings don't go too far 340 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 6: to the pendulum to the right or the left in 341 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 6: terms of how much money you're winning or losing. 342 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 4: Talking with BJ Cunningham and Sean Zarrillo here, I'm Dane Martinez, 343 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 4: the spit and statistician. This is another episode of the 344 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 4: Experts Guide to Betting here on the Action Network. You know, 345 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 4: you guys are continuing to talk about the grind and 346 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 4: your process. Take us a little bit into your process, 347 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 4: and I guess it's a two part thing. Sean, We'll 348 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 4: start with you. You know, you talk about the projections on 349 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 4: a day to day basis, But what about before the season, 350 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 4: you know, the winter meetings are done, free agency is finished, 351 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 4: we finally have a work agreement, let's say, and there 352 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 4: are no stoppages in any given season. Before the season starts, 353 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 4: what are some of your processes maybe to index players, 354 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 4: starting pitchers, teams and the like, and then tell us 355 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 4: a little bit about the day to day grind as 356 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 4: we've been calling it. 357 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's important to separate those two out 358 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 5: because once the season starts, I kind of throw away 359 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 5: my preseason process. I'm using my preseason process to project 360 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 5: out how teams are going to play over the course 361 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 5: of one hundred and sixty two games into the playoffs, 362 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 5: trying to find value on futures, whether it's stat leaders, 363 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 5: player awards, World Series futures, divisional odds, and I think 364 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 5: there's a variety of resources that you can use to 365 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 5: do that, whether you take my own projections and I 366 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 5: use player projections that you can find publicly available to 367 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 5: create my own win projections, but there are other sites 368 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 5: who do that for you, like fangrafs, Baseball Perspectives, as 369 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 5: Pakoda Davenport puts out his own standings projections. So you 370 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 5: can take those projections, sort of combine them, create a 371 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 5: composite and if you're showing value on win totals across 372 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 5: all three of those projections, are averaging them out. If 373 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 5: you're showing value on World Series futures or divisional futures 374 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 5: across multiple of those systems, I would say there's a 375 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 5: good chance there's actionable value on that number. Same goes 376 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 5: for player projections. I try to bucket guys based on 377 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 5: where they are on leaderboards. But again it all comes 378 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 5: back to price. It all comes down to price and 379 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 5: where I see the projective number relative to the market. 380 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 5: If I see two projection systems telling me that the 381 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 5: Brewers are forty percent likely to win a division, or 382 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 5: even coming into this year, two that were said that 383 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 5: there were eighty percent likely to win the division, I 384 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 5: can get them at minus one eighty five when they 385 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 5: should be minus four hundred. I'm absolutely going to bet 386 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 5: that projected gap in value as I perceive it. But basically, 387 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 5: composite different projection systems that you see out there, try 388 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 5: to find value relative to those, and I think that's 389 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 5: a pretty good starting point to have your process, but 390 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 5: then throw it away once the season starts because you 391 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 5: need to project these games on an individual basis. I 392 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 5: don't care about trends. I think trends are largely overrated. 393 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,479 Speaker 5: They're very convenient to talk about, saying teams are X 394 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 5: and X at home and their last whatever. All of 395 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 5: that is irrelevant to me. What is the projected number 396 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 5: that you put on this game based on the players, 397 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 5: based on the expected lineups, based on the starting pitchers. 398 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 5: What is the projected number that you come down to 399 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 5: for that specific game. Streaks happen. Streaks are not predictive. 400 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 5: It's just it's a thing that people love to ride. 401 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 5: You will get teams who have gone on long winning streaks, 402 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 5: long losing streaks. There's nothing actually predictive about them. Their 403 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 5: hitters may all be behitting better at the same time, 404 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 5: maybe their bullpen is all struggling at the same time. 405 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 5: But by and large, all these players should regress to 406 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 5: their baseline and their projections. So what is the number 407 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 5: for the specific game? As VJ said, from nine pm 408 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 5: to one am two am, I'm grinding out where I 409 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 5: think the number should be, shopping for the best available lines, 410 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 5: and then betting my perceived edges. Once the day flips 411 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 5: over in the morning, I'm readjusting for weather, readjusting for 412 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,479 Speaker 5: expected umpires, maybe some innews updates. Typically I have ten 413 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 5: to fifteen bets overnight, and then I'll add about ten 414 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 5: more bets in the morning before games, and then as 415 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 5: we get closer to the games, I'll recheck all my 416 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 5: lines as lineups get announced before those slates start, whether 417 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 5: there's ten games at seven pm and five at ten pm, 418 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 5: or whether there's three each at one pm, four pm, 419 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 5: seven pm, and ten pm On a Saturday, for instance, 420 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 5: where they're more spread out. So I'm constantly constantly checking 421 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 5: the lines is a never ending process. People would be 422 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 5: shocked at the amount of time that I dedicate just 423 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 5: to looking at lines, making sure things haven't moved, double 424 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 5: checking my process, double checking the numbers. It is completely exhausting, 425 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 5: but that is what it requires if you want to 426 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 5: get an edge on the sport. 427 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 4: That's interesting you talk about how eventually things kind of 428 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 4: go back to the back of the baseball card, right, 429 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 4: there is a reason that that's saying kind of exists 430 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 4: in the first place. So Sean is not looking at 431 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 4: if this guy's hitting four thirty seven when there's a 432 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 4: full moon outside on Thursdays, for example, as a trend BJ. 433 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 3: You know Sean a lot of his process. What about yours? 434 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 3: Is it similar? 435 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 4: Both preseason and once we are in the kind of 436 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 4: marathon that is the boys of summer. 437 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 6: Working on a number of different sports here at the 438 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 6: action new work, it does become exhausting to you know, 439 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 6: we get betting, baseball, college football, soccer, all these different 440 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 6: things at once. I laugh because when Sean says I'm 441 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 6: constantly double checking lines, like I feel like I'm in 442 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 6: the Action Work app every single day, constantly rechecking every 443 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 6: single line to make sure that, oh, did something become 444 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 6: available or come within range of what my you know, 445 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 6: expected outcome is what I have on a projection. 446 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 2: And things like that. 447 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 6: So yeah, it's a never ending process of rechecking, double checking, 448 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 6: and figuring out do I have value on this game? 449 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 6: And like Sean said, you have to do these things 450 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 6: if you want to turn a profit in baseball. You 451 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 6: don't just you know, for example, I can go overnight 452 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 6: and project things and just bet them and forget about 453 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 6: them and figure out, you know, what happens later. But 454 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 6: if I'm not constantly rechecking and double checking those things, 455 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 6: then I'm missing potential opportunities to make to get more 456 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 6: bets in and give myself a better chance at getting 457 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 6: that three to three and a half percent edge over season, 458 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 6: versus just putting five bets in the app because I 459 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 6: have value on those and just ignoring everything until the 460 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 6: game starts. So again, like Sean said, it's a never 461 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 6: ending process of projecting, finding all the available information that 462 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 6: you can on these teams, and then hopefully turning a 463 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 6: profit in that given day or a given week in 464 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 6: a given year. 465 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 5: You do get a feel for it over time. When 466 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 5: the line hasn't moved for hours and hours, why it 467 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 5: might suddenly move. 468 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 2: It's probably due to line up information. 469 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely. 470 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 4: And one thing both of these guys are doing, and 471 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 4: I recommend you do as well, is check the Action 472 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 4: Network app as much as possible. 473 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 3: Unless, of course, you are allergic to money. 474 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 4: One thing I want to ask both of you guys 475 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 4: is Major League Baseball has really evolved over the last 476 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 4: few years in a number of ways. 477 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 3: Right. 478 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 4: We hear about launch angle and three true outcomes. We 479 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 4: hear about the specialization of bulp and pitchers going shorter 480 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 4: and shorter into games. How have these kind of evolutions 481 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 4: in the game change your way of looking at maybe 482 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 4: strikeout props, totals, or any other opportunities to bet in 483 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 4: Major League Baseball? 484 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 5: Well, I don't know if it's really changed my approach 485 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 5: so drastically. I mean, I know we have more teams 486 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 5: who seem to be top heavy and more teams who 487 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 5: seem to be kicking the can from the moment that 488 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 5: the season starts. You know, there's a wider range of 489 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 5: outcomes than these teams. There's going to be more one 490 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 5: hundred loss teams probably in twenty twenty two than there 491 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 5: have been in some time, so it really does change 492 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 5: on a year to year basis. But that said, I'm 493 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 5: still using very similar stats to stats that I've used 494 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 5: in the past few years. Expected stats, I know, Dan, 495 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 5: you said teams tend to regress, players tend to regress 496 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 5: towards their stats on the back of the baseball card. 497 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 5: For me, it's players tend to regress towards the stats 498 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 5: on their stat cast page, things like expected wOBA, they're 499 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 5: expected yar ray. I view batted ball data as sort 500 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 5: of these new age predictive indicate that people aren't fully 501 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 5: versed in yet, and if you really want to get 502 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 5: an edge on the market, become more familiar with these 503 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 5: predictive stats that are based off the strikeouts, walks and 504 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 5: battball data. 505 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 3: That bad baby absolutely BJ What about you. 506 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 4: I'm thinking about home run props K props or anything 507 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 4: else that have really changed as we've seen a new 508 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 4: style of play in this game in a new way 509 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 4: that managers are even managing the game. 510 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 6: Yes, using a lot of these advanced metrics that are 511 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 6: now more available to the public and for free, I 512 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 6: think does help betting, K props, home run props, you know, 513 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 6: total base props, everything like that. You know, actually seeing 514 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 6: what a pitcher's pitch arsenal is and also we can 515 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 6: see exactly what pitches hitters are hitting well against. You know, 516 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 6: what's their stack cast numbers are against that, what's their 517 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 6: expected wined on base average. 518 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 2: You got to become familiar with these type of advanced metrics. 519 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 6: You have to dig as deep as possible as you 520 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 6: can to actually beat the market on a lot of 521 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 6: these different types of props. But again from an overall 522 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 6: projection standpoint on an individual game, a lot has changed 523 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 6: since all of these advanced metrics have. 524 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 2: Become available over the last five or ten years. 525 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 4: You know one thing that has definitely grown over the 526 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 4: last few years, people live betting, and in Major League 527 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 4: Baseball it is absolutely no different. I think betting major 528 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 4: League Baseball live is incredible. For example, I think they're 529 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 4: completely undervaluing the ghost runner at the start of extra innings. 530 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 4: You can get totals in the top of the eighth 531 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 4: that completely undervalue if the game goes to extra innings 532 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 4: and they put up a picket fence. You can understand 533 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 4: when a pitcher is going through the lineup for the 534 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 4: third time and may be more likely to give up runs. 535 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 4: Their stats out there, they show the fifth and sixth 536 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 4: innings are when runs are mostly scored. You know, So 537 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 4: what are some of the kind of rules of thumb 538 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 4: or things that you have found betting Major League Baseball Live, Sean, So. 539 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 5: It's all about timing for me, And we talked about 540 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 5: bothpen availability before. You definitely need to know which pitchers 541 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 5: are going to be available if certain teams, you know 542 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 5: ace reliever is out for that particular and there's a 543 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 5: big drop off relative to their other pitchers. But buying 544 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 5: large for me when I'm looking at live entries on 545 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 5: the money line or for spreads, it's all about timing. 546 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 5: I'm waiting for the lineup to flip to the top 547 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 5: of the order for the team that I want to back. 548 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 5: Hopefully I'm betting against the bottom of the order for 549 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 5: the team who I'm trying to bet against. But I 550 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,120 Speaker 5: want to bet when my team is pitching. I want 551 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 5: to bet jumping on a team who is about to 552 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 5: pitch as opposed to a team who's going to hit, 553 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 5: because I want the better number. From there, you basically 554 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 5: need to hope that they get a scoreless inning and 555 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 5: then you're on the right side of the line. Because 556 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 5: it's like betting tennis. When you live bet tennis, you 557 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,199 Speaker 5: want to bet when the other guy is serving. The 558 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 5: guy you want to bet against the serving as opposed 559 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 5: to when your guys serving, because you don't want to 560 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 5: bank on that hole. Do you want to bank on 561 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 5: the break from the other players so you are getting better, 562 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 5: get a better number right before your team is pitching 563 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 5: that you want to back. But I usually look to 564 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 5: bet it when I'm betting against the bottom of the 565 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,479 Speaker 5: lineup for the team I'm betting against, and then on 566 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,199 Speaker 5: the other side and the next half inning when the 567 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 5: team I'm backing is going to have the top their 568 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 5: lineup coming up, even if it's eight, nine to one 569 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 5: or nine to one, two in the order as opposed 570 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 5: to the first three hitters. That's basically how I'm trying 571 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 5: to tie my live enters. 572 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree with Sean. 573 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 6: You need to definitely get tea If you're betting against 574 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 6: a team, you need to basically get them towards the 575 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 6: bottom of their order. If you're betting on a team, 576 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 6: I want the top of their order coming up. You 577 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 6: mentioned at the top, you know, most of the runs 578 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 6: in Major League Baseball scored in the fifth and sixth thing, Well, 579 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 6: it's become a big thing, and it became a huge 580 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 6: thing in the World Series two years ago when the 581 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 6: Rays were playing the Dodgers when Kevin Cash took Blake 582 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 6: Snell out because he was going to face the order 583 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 6: for the third time. 584 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 2: So that's another thing that I'm getting the. 585 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, if I'm getting the top of the lineup facing 586 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 6: a starting pitcher, you know, relatively it depends on the 587 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 6: starting picture. You know, if they're facing Jacob Degram, he's 588 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 6: a unique pitcher in the fact that he actually gets 589 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 6: better the third time through the order. But if you're 590 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 6: facing a normal, you know, average everyday MLB starting pitcher 591 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 6: and they're facing the lineup the third time, you're going 592 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 6: to get a drastic edge on that type of team, 593 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 6: especially if you're getting the top of the order up. 594 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 6: And I totally agree that, Sean. You definitely need to 595 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 6: know exactly who is in and who is out for 596 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 6: the bullpens because that is ultimately crucial, and honestly, knowing 597 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 6: bullpen statistics is also a big thing. If you want 598 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 6: to live bet baseball. For example, if you're betting, you 599 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 6: know the Kensley Royals have one of the worst bullpens 600 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 6: in Major League. 601 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 2: Baseball this year. 602 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 6: So if you're betting on them and they take a 603 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 6: big time lead against whoever the team is, well, what's 604 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 6: more likely their bullpen is gonna implode towards the end 605 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 6: than actually see the game out, So you can be 606 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 6: spreads and get better odds potentially there. So knowing the 607 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 6: bullpens getting the top of the order, you know, pitchers 608 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 6: third time through the lineup. There's so many things you 609 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 6: can do to actually live at Major League Baseball and 610 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 6: eventually hopefully turn profit. 611 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, knowing that bullpen data is absolutely huge. When you 612 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 4: have a team with a really bad bullpen, or whose 613 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 4: main horses may not be available that night and they've 614 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 4: got a one or two run lead in the six 615 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,479 Speaker 4: or seventh inning, you can get decent plus money on 616 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 4: the other side to be sure, Well, let me get 617 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 4: you out of here, guys on this. You know, we're 618 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 4: talking about betting baseball, and we're talking about that as 619 00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 4: a grind, as a marathon. 620 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 3: But there's all obviously a. 621 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 4: Lot of joy and ups and you know, kind of 622 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 4: adrenaline that comes from it as well. So Sean, let 623 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 4: me start with you, like, what's kind of your favorite 624 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 4: or best sweat from betting Major League Baseball? Is it 625 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 4: identifying when you know a lowly team is going to 626 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 4: get hot and reel a couple off at plus two 627 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 4: thirty five? Or is it finding that team that is 628 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 4: down three runs in the six but you want to 629 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 4: kind of fade the bult and they're playing against what's 630 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 4: sort of like the ultimate thrill for you for betting 631 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 4: Major League Baseball? Or is it identifying one of those 632 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 4: teams that you thought was going to come from the clouds, 633 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 4: from a big future number. 634 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 5: I definitely love to bet futures and nailing something like 635 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 5: a home run leader prop, even if they're just in 636 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 5: hunt for it, I think is a lot of fun 637 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 5: for me. 638 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 2: That's how I started out betting. 639 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 5: That's what first caught my attention, and it definitely still 640 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 5: makes my juices flow. But at this point, the amount 641 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,479 Speaker 5: that I'm betting, the volume that I'm betting at knowing 642 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 5: as long as I have a solid process, when I'm 643 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 5: getting the solid results too, when I'm getting colv and 644 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 5: winning games, getting that good process, good result overlap. That 645 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 5: is the actual thrill for me, because you can have 646 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 5: a good process and get bad results. You can have 647 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 5: a bad process and get good results. Or you could 648 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 5: get the bad process and the deserve bad results. But 649 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 5: when you have the good process, when you're consistently generating 650 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 5: closing line value, beating these lines by five to six percent, 651 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 5: and you're actually going on a sustained winning streak for 652 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 5: four weeks, six weeks, racking up twenty to thirty units, 653 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 5: just consistently building day after day after day, that brings 654 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 5: me the most joy because I know I have a 655 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 5: refined process. 656 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 2: It is a big market. 657 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,239 Speaker 5: Baseball is a very difficult sport to bet because it 658 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 5: is one of the major sports, and in the middle 659 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 5: of the summer when there is no other game in town, 660 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 5: and people who normally bet football who may have some 661 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 5: sharp inside information on baseball from other people who model it, 662 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 5: and they want to take some of their action when 663 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 5: they're putting their money in the market too, And the 664 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 5: baseball market has a ton of money in it. It 665 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 5: is a very sharp market. The closing are very indicative 666 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 5: of what's going to happen. I don't care where it opened, 667 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 5: but where it closed. So as long as I can 668 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 5: take those opening numbers, beat them and beat the clothes 669 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 5: by twenty cents twenty five cents, and I'm getting good results, 670 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 5: that actually fills me with confidence and brings me a 671 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 5: lot of joy because I know that I have a 672 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 5: sound process. I've proved it over the course of multiple years. 673 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 5: But sometimes, as BJ said, we go through huge downswings. 674 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 5: You may be beating the lines but not getting the results. 675 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 5: And that's where it gets very frustrating because you know 676 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 5: you're probably on the right side of the move, you're 677 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 5: just not getting the desired outcome. So good process, good 678 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 5: results is always what I want to see, you. 679 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 3: Know, it's CLV. 680 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: Yeah you know me, BJ, do you think to say, 681 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: am you trusting the process? 682 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 3: Is that what brings you great joy as well? 683 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: Yeah? 684 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 6: To echo off what Sean said, you know, good process, 685 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 6: good results is the best feeling possible. So for example, 686 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 6: you know this season, Pirates swept the Dodgers and they 687 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 6: were plus two hundred above every single game. 688 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 2: They were showing value every single game. 689 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 6: Those are the type of outcomes where it's, oh my gosh, 690 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 6: you know, we might only get a few of those 691 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 6: a week. You know, going over a long stretch, but 692 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 6: getting them all in a short amount of time that 693 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 6: feels great. But yes, Mike Sean said, basically turning a 694 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 6: profit over a long run getting a good process. Getting 695 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 6: a good results from a good process is the best 696 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 6: feeling possible. 697 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 4: So this has been another edition of the Experts Guide 698 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 4: to Betting on Major League Baseball.
