What is the point of playing both sides of clev/hou? It's no a win situation? Don't get it! Why not just wait till second game of series and go with your gut as who will prevail after first game result. I'm waiting to see which way you go. My minimum play is double yours. No worries.
You can do whatever you want. I'm simply listing what I do. Not listing it for others to follow. Would rather not have to deal with people if/when it loses.

so, using the figures you posted, you ended up down for the day around $5. the same $5 you handed away by playing both sides of clev/hous. is that accurate? not bashing just wondering, its your money, manage it the way you want. BOL!!

Yep and if you read my post earlier in the thread it was very clear why I do it. You lose more chasing on a favorite if it gets swept then an underdog.
So instead of just not betting and betting $10 on the second game I bet both sides.
And yeah, it was a dollar handed away....and the same dollar will be handed back as long as the Astros don't get swept. It all works out in the end. It's just simple math.

Won 5 out of 6 yesterday to avoid disaster but the Astros getting swept put a loss on the books. Starting a bunch of new series today and tomorrow.
Cubs -200
Yankees -175
Astros -133
Indians -122
Giants +175
Good Luck on all your bets today!!
Explain this better.
This is my take:
Giants won so you lost $10 on cubs and made $5 on giants. So you lost $5. If cubs won you would have netted $2.15. I think a better solution is to bet enough on the dog to win the difference between the two. So instead of the possible outcomes being losing $5 or winning $2.15, you bet $1.25 on the dog. So now your outcomes are either lose $1.25 or win $2.15. If you lose, now you don't have to bet a huge amount the next day to cover loses. What if the cubs got swept? You would have lost almost $40.
And again today...
LAD -130 $6.50 to win $5
CHC +120 $4.20 to win $5
LAD win, net $0.80
CHC win, lose $1.50
Bet should be $0.70 on cubs. Now you can lose .7 or win .8, cut your loss in half.
What happens if CHC loses today and is the favorite next two games and lose those?
My solution may not be the best, but I bet there is something out there that can drastically minimize loses when your system tells you to take both sides. The solution might be to fade the series.
Good job so far though. It's very interesting.

To answer some of the above questions...I am sticking with the original 10 teams....not adjusting them throughout the year.
For the games when the teams are playing each other....I am not adjusting the way I bet them. Thanks for all the feedback and feel free to do your own thing.

Just so you know if the Cubs lose to Kershaw today I will have lost $2.00 less using my theory than and of the other theories when I have two teams playing each other.
Like I said, You guys can do whatever you want. My intention is not to tell anyone how to bet or who to bet on. Nor do I intend to listen to what anyone else suggests.
I'm betting $5 for a reason. This isn't to retire on. It's for fun.
