Took a few weeks off from posting here at the site. Could only discuss all the Covid-19 stuff
so much in the main forum before it got so over the top and turned in to a Circus. I will hop in
here and share my opinion on betting on this shortened unusual Baseball half a season coming up.
Im still on a personal level debating the Pro's and Con's of wagering on these games. As someone who
creates my own Line for each game, I feel that is the easy part. But trying to add the dimension of in a
way almost playing sports psychologist and trying to factor in all the other stuff for all these players adds
a few layers to this in my opinion.

I just turned on the Mets/Yankees game and turned it off just as fast.
Seeing fake fans sitting behind home plates and the ZERO fans in stands, players wearing masks to protect themselves as well as what is going to be
a bastardized meaningless 60 game season depressed me and I can't be bothered.
If I do get bored enough and want to bet a few pesos on the outcome(which is unlikely) rest be assured I won't watch the game at all, and will rely only on
updated scores and the final result!
If there is a wagering prop/ that at some time the season will be either suspended or hopefully ended because of the Virus, I would bet on that as soon
as a betting line is available!

Well its a matter of personal choice.
I tried waching the Sox Jays ST Game at Fenway game last night for a few innings.
For me seeing no one in the stands getting excited,cheering, booing, not scrambling for foul balls, etc and some players sitting in the stands
instead with masks on and of course the prospect of a "sprint" 60 game season hasme for lack of a better term, depressed, and I shut it off.
I am HOPING that should the Sox get off to a good start, that I will become a little more interested.
Right now it feels like playing it is video game baseball.
The fact that it is beginning at the end of July also makes it seem very artificial.
But hey you never know.
I feel quite confident though in saying that if Sox get off to a poor start, and say after 20 games, are say 5 or more games under 500 and are trailing
badly in the standings, that will be it.
My only interest in baseball in general at that point will be for wagering purposes only I go that route.
