The first one did not hit. This brought my total down to $199. I also bet that Phillies first baseman, Bryce Harper, would get a single in his first at bat. Even though the odds were against me, it did hit. Off this bet alone my payout was $60, from just betting $10. This brought by total to $259. This means that over my whole simulation I actually made $9.

Set aside small amounts of money.

Don’t “Go big or go home”.

Don’t bet away your winnings.

Just be smart.
