Why live baseball betting is my biggest cash cow
59sReveals a specific in-game betting strategy that casual bettors overlook.
▶ Play Clip"Delivers the promised three niches with concrete examples, though padded by Discord and funded-account promos."
This video presents three prediction market niches that the creator claims are the easiest to profit from long-term on platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi: live in-game sports betting, niche esports leagues, and domestic soccer. The speaker shares personal data, specific examples, and strategies for exploiting soft lines and avoiding crowded markets.
The video previews three prediction market niches that are easiest to profit from long-term: live in-game progress betting, esports, and domestic soccer leagues.
The creator recommends analyzing your own account data to identify where you consistently make and lose money across prediction markets before focusing on specific niches.
Live in-game betting, especially baseball totals, allows traders to exploit odds that shift after the first few innings when momentum becomes clear.
Baseball teams play 162 games, so pregame odds shift significantly by the 2nd or 3rd inning. Live totals like over 9.5 at 62% become great propositions when runs are scored early.
Esports leagues like the Call of Duty League have low liquidity and little attention, creating soft lines that are easier to profit from than major events like the World Cup.
Instead of betting on the World Cup, the creator focuses on domestic leagues like the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1, where there are many games and more edges.
The smart play is to bet 'no' on the weaker squad rather than 'yes' on the strong favorite, because draws and anomalies still win the proposition.
The World Cup attracts casual bettors and huge liquidity, making it a tougher market to beat. Domestic league games offer more mispriced lines and long-term value.
What are the three easiest niches for profiting on prediction markets according to the video?
Live in-game progress betting, esports (especially Call of Duty League), and domestic soccer leagues.
13:10
Which sport does the creator highlight as a perfect example for live in-game totals?
Baseball.
02:57
How many games does an MLB team play in a regular season?
162 games.
03:28
Why does the speaker prefer live in-game betting over pregame betting?
Pregame odds are tight, but during the game you can swing-trade odds as momentum shifts, for example after the 2nd or 3rd inning.
05:51
What makes the Call of Duty League esports market easy to exploit?
It has low liquidity and little attention, resulting in soft lines; even the biggest match of the day only has $14,000–$36,000 wagered.
07:18
What strategy does the speaker recommend for domestic soccer league matchups?
Bet 'no' on the weaker squad rather than 'yes' on the stronger favorite, because draws and anomalies still win.
11:59
Why does the speaker say the World Cup is a tougher market to beat?
Everyone is watching and betting, so there is huge liquidity and fewer games, making it harder to find an edge.
12:38
How much money did the speaker make on their $10,000 funded account in one day?
$178 in gross profit across eight trades, mostly from Call of Duty esports.
09:56
What is the speaker's advice on diversification in prediction markets?
Whenever I diversify a little bit too much, that's when I start to burn my bankroll; sticking to specific niches is better.
01:49
Live In-Game Betting Is the #1 Edge
Shows a concrete, repeatable technique that relies on momentum and shifting odds rather than pregame guesswork.
02:36Low Liquidity Creates Soft Lines
Explains a key market inefficiency: ignored esports leagues offer better odds because fewer sharp bettors are involved.
07:18Go Against the Favorite in Soccer
Provides a contrarian principle that protects bettors from draw upsets while still profiting on weak squads.
11:59Avoid Crowded, High-Liquidity Events
Highlights how casual participation in events like the World Cup reduces the chance of finding value.
12:38[00:00] I've probably traded every type of market that there is across Polymarket and Kalshi. We're talking mentions markets, political races, entertainment, I've done Rotten Tomatoes scores. You know, I've seen everything across the board. In this video, I'm going to go over the three
[00:15] niches that I've actually found to be the easiest to profit long term. And if you focus on these niches, I think that over time, your bankroll is going to continue to stack and you're going to start to find that this is your sweet spot. So, it might not be for everybody, but these are the
[00:31] three niches in this video that I think are the easiest to gain an edge in if you're smart, do your research, and really just dial in. So, let's go ahead and jump right into it. Guys, if you're new to the channel on In the Money, we go over everything that you need to win across crypto,
[00:46] prediction markets, and more. So, links down below in the description as well. Like the video and subscribe to the channel. I do want to give a big shout today. We are launching our official In the Money Discord and I mean we are honestly off to a really hot start. Prediction markets yesterday we
[01:02] went 3 and 0. The Call of Duty League traded as well and first day of the Discord we were absolutely cooking. You're going to get all the information from me and my team across crypto prediction markets and more only $49 a month. And I believe you get a 3-day free trial. So, a very
[01:19] good proposition here. If you want to jump into the group and profit with us across crypto and prediction markets, hit that link down below in the description in the money.live. Let's go ahead and just jump right into it, guys. Obviously, like I've always said in prediction market videos here,
[01:35] when you open up Kalshi, I mean, it's overwhelming or Polymarket, whichever one. You go through here, there's so many different markets. You can really get caught up in a ton of different things. And I think some of the most popular ones are obviously sports, politics, crypto,
[01:49] and mention markets. But for me, I've always found that whenever I diversify a little bit too much, that's whenever I start to burn my bankroll across prediction markets. But whenever I stick
[02:02] to specific niches, I really do start to find a sweet spot. One of my sweet spots is sports, okay? But there are different things like I mean I'll be honest I probably shouldn't be placing money on golf or tennis. Those aren't my forte. I know some people who are experts in that so I'll take their
[02:19] advice on that. But I have found three specific niches to be my most profitable. And this is backed by data. There's many softwares out there as well. You can plug in your account and it'll tell you where you're making money consistently and where you are losing money consistently. So,
[02:36] after doing analysis on my account, I've found that these three niches have been the most consistently profitable and honestly whenever I look at the data, probably the easiest to exploit across these markets. Number one is going to be live in-game progress betting. So, what we're
[02:57] talking about here is, you know, you go to sports, let's say, and let's go to baseball. Baseball is a perfect example of this. I have made a ton of cash this year on Kalshi specifically on live in-game
[03:11] baseball. And what I mean by that, so you can see here Tampa Bay and Boston. You click on the odds on this game. You can see here Boston is a 52% favorite to win this match. And we see here Tampa Bay to win by over one and a half or Boston to win by over one and a half. You can kind of manipulate
[03:28] these odds. But with baseball, they play 162 games. A lot of these odds pregame really shift by like the second or third inning. And if you want to take advantage of softer lines or be able
[03:42] to actually navigate what you're seeing inside of the game, doing this in game is perfect. If it's 0-0 after the third inning and the total is still 7 and a half, even if the no is now like 55 60%,
[03:56] that's a great proposition. I've really nailed down a ton of profits by live playing totals on baseball. Or there's six runs in the first three innings. All of a sudden, you can still get like
[04:09] over nine and a half at, you know, 62%. I love taking those propositions. If the bats are hot and you know you're going into the bullpen early, if you know anything about baseball, if your starting pitcher gets knocked out of the game early and you're using a bunch of bullpen arms, it probably
[04:25] bodes well for offense in that type of a game. So, I really like to navigate in-game totals whenever it comes to stuff like baseball, for example. American football's right around the corner. We're
[04:37] going to absolutely crush American football this year. Really excited about that because momentum is everything in American football. You can feel when a game-winning drive is being put together or you know in a high-scoring game you can kind of manipulate those odds and cash in on totals
[04:53] etc. So, in progress betting as well, like during the NBA finals, it was such an easy play to like swing trade, you know, Spurs early, sell, and then navigate to the Knicks towards the ends of
[05:05] the games. Like, really live in-game is so much easier to exploit than pregame. Just, you know, typically speaking, you look across the baseball lines, most of these are, you know, between 50/50.
[05:19] I'll make sure we're just on pro baseball. I don't want to see like the foreign leagues, but yeah, like most of these games are between 65 and 50%. Like a lot of them are 50/50 for the most part, but by the third or fourth inning, you're going to know the momentum of the game, you might start to
[05:35] see a team pull away, runs start being scored, or if you think that, hey, by the third inning it's, you know, 0-0, but Tampa Bay, you know, is looking a little better, you come in here, you know, Tampa Bay, maybe to cover one and a half. Like you can come in here and take advantage of those lines
[05:51] very easily on in-progress betting. So that is number one, live plays. Like some of these odds are really tight pregame, but during the game you can really swing trade these to your benefit.
[06:04] Number two is esports. This has been this year I think I've made more cash on prediction markets on esports than like I've made more on esports than the World Cup for example. And I mean the World
[06:21] Cup we've been very solid other than a few random you know outliers. The World Cup has treated us very well. But esports is something if you know anything about the background of me or my channel,
[06:34] I came into crypto 2017. I got into crypto gaming 2020 2021 and, you know, I'm a gamer at heart so I pay attention a lot to some of these esports leagues and like Call of Duty League for example I find so easy to exploit as far as profits go. You click on esports here.
[06:52] Let's go over to Call of Duty. And the reason I'm saying that is if we go to League of Legends, let's see like tomorrow I know T1 plays Carmine Corp. Let's see here. There's not a lot of volume
[07:04] yet because they just posted this market. I would assume there's going to be six plus figures on that game tomorrow. There's a lot of liquidity and a lot of money and volume that goes into these big leagues like League of Legends for example. But if you go over to like the Call of Duty leagues,
[07:18] even the biggest match of the day only has $14,000 on it. Optic versus Paris, that's probably the premier match of today. Even FaZe and the Falcons has 23,000. Thieves
[07:32] in Minnesota G2 has 15,000 on it. And the first match of the day has the most. It's 36,000. So, I'm assuming people are trying to, you know, hit the first match and move on to the other ones. But some of these lines are just so soft. When you look at like, let's just go G2 versus Thieves. I
[07:51] don't think that this goes five maps for example. Even at 75%, I think that's a great proposition. I think Thieves win 3-0 or 3-1. They're coming off a really bad loss yesterday. And there's not a lot of competition in these markets because of the liquidity. The liquidity is low and most people
[08:07] don't pay attention to the Call of Duty League for example. And if we look at the picks yesterday, we had Paris yesterday to beat Toronto. That was an easy win. We had Optic in Miami under four and a half. Easy. Optic 3-0ed. And then FaZe Vegas and G2. I figured G2 was good enough to win one
[08:24] map. And that's exactly what happened. We had the over three and a half maps and it went to four maps. So, I feel like these esports leagues, I'm not going to call it a small league. Like, everyone knows Call of Duty, but as far as the esports scene goes, it's definitely one of the
[08:38] least popular leagues, but I find that where it's so easy to make profits over the long haul. So, I absolutely love playing Call of Duty esports, and even, you know, there's times like CS2 tournaments are great money. Good League of Legends tournaments are great money. Just
[08:53] there's more eyes on those matches. So, I think more niche esports like Call of Duty for example are super easy to profit on, especially if you pay attention. Like I watch these matches like I'm fully entrenched in making sure I understand which teams are hot, which players are hot,
[09:09] what game modes they're doing well at, etc. So, yeah, that's kind of what I've been doing as far as esports. And you can see here like on my funded account, yesterday we hit every single
[09:22] pick on Call of Duty. One thing I don't like is WNBA. I've not been cooking on WNBA, but, we hit on that. These League of Legends plays cashed, soccer cashed, etc. So, a lot of my
[09:41] success yesterday was just off of esports on this funded account, for example. And, I think, it's a $10,000 funded account. If you want to trade with other people's money on Polymarket, by the way, Funding Predicts link down below in the description. You can actually get 20% off
[09:56] an account if you purchase with the link in the description. So yesterday on my funded account, I made $178. Gross profit was 178 and, yeah, it was I mean a really good day across eight trades. So
[10:10] very happy with that on a $10,000 funded account. So, and that was mainly just off of Call of Duty yesterday. And then last but not least, the third niche that I think is really easy to exploit,
[10:22] especially if you follow it exclusively is soccer, but it's not going to be what you're thinking. So, obviously, everyone is playing these World Cup matches. Everyone becomes a soccer fan every four years for the World Cup. But for me, I pay attention religiously to the Premier League,
[10:39] to La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, all these different leagues because this is where you can find profits. This is where, you know, if you're digging in week to week, let's go to the Premier League, for example. A lot of what I like to do. Let's go to fixtures. This starts next month. So
[10:55] about a month from today, we have Arsenal versus Coventry City. What I really like to do in Premier League is play totals, either over under a certain amount of goals. But what I really really like is even if it's a low ROI like Arsenal Coventry City at home for Arsenal, Arsenal is the best team in
[11:14] the league currently. No on Coventry City is the play there. I don't know the percentages yet, but you want to go against the weak squads, but not necessarily yes on the strong squads because
[11:27] there are random draws. There are things that happen. Man City versus Bournemouth. Bournemouth is solid. A lot of people on that match are gonna think, oh, go Man City. But actually, I think the smart play is going Bournemouth, no, like they won't win the match. So,
[11:41] even if it's a tie, even if it's a draw, you still win that proposition. Aston Villa and Brighton, I'd probably go Brighton, no. And Brighton's at home, so that's probably a pretty good percentage if you were to take that. So, in my opinion, going very savvy on domestic soccer leagues,
[11:59] you can make a ton of cash over the course of a season, going against the weaker squad, rather than going yes on the stronger squad. That is how most people lose money. They look at a match,
[12:12] they say, "Oh, wow. Arsenal's an 80% favorite to win this game. That's a lock." And then they tie and everyone on that side loses money. Whereas you could just go on Coventry City no or let's say
[12:24] Brighton no against Aston Villa and actually cash in even if there's an anomaly of a draw. So that's what I did last season in the Champions League, in the domestic leagues. Bundesliga is great for goal
[12:38] totals. So you know World Cup is great and all but everyone's watching it. Everyone's betting it. There's so much liquidity. It is a tougher market to beat. There is not as many games going on. But on any given Friday, Saturday, Sunday, over the course of the next eight months, 12 months really,
[12:56] whenever all these different leagues are going on, there's so many games, you will find edges, you'll find mispriced lines, you'll find percentages that favor you in the long term, and we'll exploit those right here on the channel and of course in the In the Money Discord, guys.
[13:10] So, if you enjoyed the video today, be sure drop down below, hit that like button, and subscribe to the channel. The three easiest niches that I have found to exploit on prediction markets. I'll recap just quickly. Esports, live in progress plays. So, while the game is going on, you can really
[13:28] swing the odds in your favor. You know, playoff momentum, etc. And then last but not least, not the World Cup, but domestic soccer leagues. We're talking England, we're talking Spain, France,
[13:40] Germany, their local leagues. That's where you can really make a ton of cash by paying attention. World Cup is great and all, but everyone's playing it. Everyone thinks they're an expert, but at the end of the day, the real money is to be made grinding out these leagues week to week.
