San Francisco Giants Bookie Guide, Sports Betting Profile
The San Francisco bookie will anticipate mounting losses if the Giants prove to have as successful a year in 2016 as oddsmakers are predicting. They had the second shortest odds of winning the 2016 World Series at 9-1.
Bay area bookies will almost be required to seek the services of offshore Price Per Head shops specializing in live in-play wagering, player props and futures as a means of cutting losses. The red hot Golden State Warriors will make it nearly impossible for Northern California bookmakers to prosper in 2016. Thank God for the 49ers, huh?
Oddsmakers had the Giants winning 88.5 regular season games this year, more than four more than what they won last season. They were only four games off from the previous year.
Giants Probable Starting Pitchers:
Jack Peavy (2-6, 6.41) – SUNDAY JUNE 12 – Peavy has been hot against the Dodgers starting bats, allowing 19 hits off of 90 at bats, three of those home runs. Peavy just lost his last start after allowing a mere one run in just over 13 innings previously. He is currently posting the worst numbers of his career though.
Seven of ten in this series have gone UNDER the current 8 runs.
Matt Cain (1-5, 5.20) – MONDAY JUNE 13 - Cain was on an impressive run before hitting the DL, allowing a total of four runs over 21 innings in three starts before his abbreviated outing on May 27.
Johnny Cueto (9-1, 2.16) – WEDNESDAY JUNE 15 – Cueto has allowed 29 hits off of 135 at bats and just two home runs versus current Brewers batters. He has allowed no more than 2 runs in his last seven starts and is coming off a no decision.
The Brewers Junior Guerra has permitted eight runs in just over 23 innings. Look for an UNDER here.
Ways for San Francisco bookies to reduce their losses in 2016:
*Provide your players with live in-play betting through use of a proven offshore Pay Per Head provider such as Gambling911.com endorsed PayPerHeadAgents.com.
* Get your diehard Giants fans placing future bets on their team to win the title in 2016. San Francisco has short odds of winning the 2016 World Series but they didn’t play in it last year and the odds of another team winning are even greater. Future bets typically offer a smart way to realize a profit unless of course a particular team with heavy future wagering action happens to win. For local bookies, a team like the Giants will be more heavily skewed so as long as they don’t win, the rewards should be significant.
*Trust the Pay Per Head linesmakers. You may find a line for a particular starting pitcher a little too attractive to sports bettors but there may be a reason behind this (Pitcher A past performance versus a particular team or left-handers).
*Encourage your players to dabble in player propositions and totals betting
