We've been talking on the show how it's a slow time in sports without Hoops or Hockey. Well, I think this is a GREAT time of year to make money because you can focus on Baseball with a little Golf, Tennis, and NASCAR sprinkled in. Betting Baseball is a lot of fun. First and foremost, there are no lines per se, you just have to win the game, sounds pretty simple. Of course, we all know it's not that easy but there are so many factors that go into handicapping a Baseball game, it can be like solving a great crossword puzzle.

How does a team do facing Left Handed pitching? How do they do at night? In a dome?...etc. The list goes on as to all of the factors that decide who you're going to bet that you can literally spend hours trying to "solve the puzzle". NASCAR, as our loyal listeners know, is one of my favorite sports to bet and have fun with. It's only once a week, but the possibilities are endless. I usually like to look at a driver's past history on whatever track is next on the schedule, and look for consistency, ie: top 10 finishes, laps led...etc. Once I do that, I look at the practice speeds, posted multiple places on the web, and see who ran well so far in practice. After that, I look at the odds and usually take someone in the 8/12-1 range. You can also mess around with matchups, and usually find good lines througout.

So next time you're whining and complaining that there's nothing to bet this time a year, take a few moments to study the Baseball games, and get ready for that weekend's NASCAR race. Have fun this summer and make some money!! Drew
