Making money from the MLB trade deadline

For sports bettors that want to make money from the Major League Baseball trade deadline, it's usually something that's made hard to cash in on.

While a few sportsbooks do actually offer lines on players to be traded, most of them either have very few players listed or the lines up for such short times that they are impossible to bet on.

Don't let the bookies mess with you. With every trade there's an opportunity to make some real cash.

1. Bet on futures immediately after the trade is made if you feel this team is now a top pick
2. Bet against teams that will have players held out when making their trade
3. Work the peripherals of the trade impacts, whether its the AAA game that is effected, the team that lost out on the trade, or player props that might be effected

Sportsbook bookies aren't good enough to stay on top of all these facts all the time. Find the gaps, expose them, and make money betting on line movements.

1. Do your research on how this player will perform in the new surrounds/effect team morale
