The MLB trade deadline is August 1 this year. Online bookies should think about using trades that will inevitably happen before August 1 to suggest prop bets to their players.

This isn’t as difficult of a task as it may seem. In fact, bookies already missed out on an opportunity involving pitcher James Shields being traded to the Chicago White Sox from the San Diego Padres. Before getting into the trade, let’s discuss pop betting in MLB.

The NFL 2016-2017 season is soon approaching but is your pay per head platform ready for it? Make the switch to PayPerHead.com today with the NFL $3 Kick-Off premium package today.

Profit From MLB Trades With Trade Prop Bet Suggestions

Bookies, especially if they work with a pay per head company, can offer prop bets on every single MLB game every day. The prop bets can be anywhere from total hits, runs, RBIs and strikeouts for a player, to most strikeouts by a pitcher, to whether or not there will be a score in the first inning.

Strikeouts by pitchers is a popular prop. Chris Sale, the White Sox ace, almost always is at 8.5 to 9.5 strikeouts per game. It’s usually popular for MLB prop bettors to go over Sale’s strikeout total per game more than they go under. But most sports bettors aren’t always prop bettors. MLB prop bettors garner some of the lowest action of any wagers in the sportsbook. This is where an online bookie can educate his or her players about prop bets by using trades.

Let’s get back to James Shields for an illustration. Shields was traded from the Padres to the White Sox on June 5. Shields started his first game in a White Sox uniform 3 days later on June 8. It would have been very easy for online bookies to communicate with their players the fact that James Shields had been traded and that prop bets were available for Shields pitching for the White Sox on June 8.

Bookies should pay attention to every single trade that happens in the MLB. It’s important to use those trades as an opportunity to suggest prop bets to an online bookies’ players. Prop bets are usually the least bet upon wagers in the sports book. Use trades to bump up the action on prop bets. 

The best thing to happen after the MLB season is done is the NFL season.
