“#Be on the lookout for ‘swagger’ MLB betting plays<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s been great to see crowds returning to sporting events, but we\u2019ve been troubled by all the bad behavior, with spectators throwing things or spitting at players and charging the field or court.<\/p>\n

Sure, we remember tennis player Monica Seles getting stabbed by a fan in April 1993, followed a few months later by \u201cFan Man\u201d parachuting into the outer ring at Caesars Palace during the Evander Holyfield-Riddick Bowe fight. But the examples are few and far between since then, though the \u201cMalice at the Palace\u201d brawl involving fans, the Pistons and the Pacers in 2004 probably being the ugliest of all.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s always been booing and heckling of opponents with the occasional streaker, but we\u2019ve never seen fans crossing the line as much as we\u2019ve seen lately. Part of the cause is that we\u2019ve all been quarantined for pretty much a full year, but that\u2019s no excuse.<\/p>\n

As a rule, I try to avoid commenting on off-the-field events like this unless it directly impacts the gambling aspects of the game<\/a>. For instance, it was certainly notable last fall that the lack of fans in the stands affected home-field advantage in the NBA and NHL playoffs as well as MLB. However, this has been on my mind because I\u2019ve been streaking a lot lately. Before you call the local authorities, I\u2019m talking about betting on streaks, so you see it\u2019s possible to make anything into a gambling topic!<\/p>\n

It certainly isn\u2019t rare to want to bet on hot teams and against cold teams. That\u2019s pretty much human nature. In baseball, I don\u2019t consider a team streaking until there are wins or loses against multiple teams. Sweeping a bad team or getting swept by a great team for three or four games doesn\u2019t mean as much as when the team continues the streak to another series<\/a>, so that\u2019s when I look to jump on the bandwagon.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve watched or listened to VSiN over the past four years, you\u2019ve probably heard some of our hosts and guests talking about betting on or against streaks. The key is to find the ones that will last and not jump in too late. It\u2019s also important because you don\u2019t want to be fading a streak (a friend calls that \u201cgetting in front of a train\u201d). There\u2019s another old saying that goes: \u201cIf you\u2019re fading a streak, you can lose multiple times, but if you\u2019re backing a streak, you lose only once.\u201d<\/p>\n

In my mind, this is best illustrated by an episode of \u201cThe Simpsons\u201d when Krusty the Clown was asked why he had bet against the Harlem Globetrotters. Krusty replied, \u201cI thought the General<\/a>s were due.\u201d You don\u2019t want to be that clown.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen several MLB streaks lately. The A\u2019s had a 13-game winning streak in April and the Rays had an 11-game joyride, while the Diamondbacks ended a 10-game skid last weekend. Entering Saturday, the Royals had the longest winning streak (five) and the Marlins the longest skid (seven). Plenty of opportunities will exist to jump on the bandwagon by betting straight on those that continue their streaks or, if you\u2019re like me and don\u2019t like eating all that chalk, parlaying the ones you like best.<\/p>\n

The other part of streak betting is that once a team on a long losing streak of six or more games in any sport wins a game, you look to bet on it to win again. \u201cMike\/tpking\u201d called this the \u201cswagger\u201d theory in the VFV Forums, as we often see teams like this get their swagger after snapp<\/a>ing a losing streak and winning another game. It works the other way too. We call these \u201canti-swagger\u201d plays, as a team that has a long winning streak snapped will often have a letdown and drop a second game. This works especially well in college football.<\/p>\n

So my advice is to check the MLB standings daily to see which teams are streaking and bet accordingly, but also to be on the lookout for those swagger and anti-swagger spots.<\/p>\n

Happy streaking (but not onto any fields or courts).<\/p>\n
