Well, we here at BSB really like stupid games, so we’re going to debut another one. This one revolves around baseball. On certain days (pretty much whenever we have the time), we’re going to look at the slate of MLB games and their Vegas money lines and throw around $100 (in fake money) on various games. We’ll keep track of how we do to see if we can stay up or down throughout the year. I may even track different things along the way like “if you bet $100 on the Yankees every day, where would you end up” and stuff like that, but we’ll see.
If anyone wants to join us in their picks, just let me know via email or comment below and I’ll start sending you the morning lines.

I would be VERY interested to see the results of the $100 on the yankees every day.
ya, me too, waters. that was kind of the impetus to this whole thing, actually. last year, i tried to track it, but i was changing jobs so much and stuff like that that it just got away from me. this year, i should be able to do so. i’m gonna try and track every team and see who vegas “likes too much” and “doesn’t like enough.” either way, it should be interesting
Waters, how much profit would the $100 on every Yankees game have to be to convince you to do it next season?
Bry, no confidence in Kevin Millwood?
haha, no, doogan. when i saw that the rays were actually UNDERDOGS against the o’s tonite, i almost put all $70 on it (and i do believe in diversify, diversify, diversify). i might bet some “not-fake” money on this game as well
Wait, they’re underdogs!? I think I looked at that game and just assumed they were the favorites. And I still considered putting some money on them.
Yeah, actually in the line you sent to me they were pretty big favorites.
hahaha, my bad doogan. i have to adjust my games now…i haven’t seen any scores yet. great start to this challenge, eh?
hey doogan, think we might not realize how much of a home-field advantage is in baseball? we both took all road teams.
