Getting the best payout from the MLB Home Run Derby
The 2009 MLB All-star game home run derby starts launching soon and while its one of the most exciting all-star events in sports, its traditionally not seen much betting action. We'd recommend re-considering that and putting a few bucks on the line for this one. Bet on an exciting field headlined by Albert Pujols and Ryan Howard as they try and best the performances of Vlad and Josh Hamilton recently.
Getting the most out of your betting dollar is possible again here is you play the line movements. If you're sold on the ridiculous Albert Pujols taking this easily and he is one of the first confirmed contestants (like he was), then DO NOT place your bets right away. With a limited field against him books will be offer horrible payouts. Wait until the field starts getting filled up by streaking players like Nelson Cruz or Joey Votto who give bookies a hard time to price. Now with more unprdedictable names in the events and you're solid #1 choice still your favorite, you'll get a better pay-out.
We can't recommend laying money on the favorites in general, but if you feel your man is way above the competition, Pujols, Tiger, Federer, Ovechkin, then always remember to wait for the best payout price after the betting line moves the way you want it to.
