Underdogs Ruin First Few Baseball Betting Days For Gamblers

With the NCAA college basketball tournament winding down, it is a perfect time for baseball to start for gamblers. Baseball betting officially began on Sunday night, and the underdogs have not been kind to gamblers in the first two days.

The first game of the 2008 season was on Sunday night. Actually, the season began in Japan last week, but for anyone not up at six in the morning, their season began Sunday.

Bettors had a prime match up to make money with that first game. The Atlanta Braves were playing against the Washington Nationals, which meant the opportunity was there for bettors to win big early. The only problem was that the Nationals upset the Braves.

On Monday, with many premiere pitchers starting opening day for their teams, there was again the opportunity to win money with the favorites. Once again, the underdogs spoiled those wagers.

The Detroit Tigers are picked by many to win the World Series. They were defeated by the Kansas City Royals, who will consider it a good year if they do not finish last in their division.

In Minnesota, the Twins welcomed back their former all star Torii Hunter. Hunter's new team, the Los Angeles Angels, are also considered among the league's best. Minnesota pulled the upset 3-2.

Washington was back up to their tricks from Sunday night. They beat the defending National League East champs, the Philadelphia Phillies.

Overall, not a good day for gamblers, but the good thing about baseball is that there will be games again on Tuesday for a chance at redemption.
