Hello fellow gamblers!
If you're like me, you know that the most mundane things can be just a bit more interesting if you make a wager on it. A dollar for whoever gets closest to the exact time your dinner reservation gets called? Ok. Two for over/under the population of the United States at 320,000,000? Sure, I know that one. 30:1 against a tactical nuke in my next game of Call of Duty? Come on, it's just a dollar. (Or two... or thirty, if I win). But bragging rights are forever, and once in a while there's nothing like betting and being right.
I'm not an expert on gambling but I like talking about it, I like reading about it, and I like doing it (within reason). This blog is mainly for my own tracking and amusement purposes, but hey-- maybe you'll get something out of it too. Through it I'll be making public all the bets I make, my reasoning, and how much of a sucker I am. For now, it's mostly a guide to betting MLB games as I see them on CentSports.
For those of you who are unfamiliar, CentSports.com is a gambling website that offers you a free ten cents for betting on sports games, and if you work up past $20 you can cash out and they'll send you a check. From March 22 to the start of Major League Baseball I turned that ten cents into about $3 betting aggressively, often betting up to half of my account at a time just trying to build up a few dollars to work with. But over the 14 games of the baseball season since then, I've bet very conservatively-- never more than 10% of my account on any one game-- and turned that $3 into just about $10. Clearly, it's gone to my head.

I know it's an obscenely small sample size and I'll probably be down to ten cents real soon, but I've been looking for a project anyway and there's a chance I know what I'm talking about. This blog will mostly cover my CentSports picks for MLB games and any other shenanigans I get myself involved in. I encourage you to berate my stupidity or participate in discussions about my picks in the comments sections after each post.
