Question on ML vs RL

Okay, I usually bet MLB Over and Unders. Can someoint please tell me the difference between ML and RL. I understand the RL moves a high priced fav down to a more attractive price but the fav must win by 2 runs. So if a team is -105 on the ML and +190 on the RL and your bet is 1 unit or $100, what exactly is the potential risk/reward? Thanks guys!!!

only do rl if you like the dog thats only time i play it

Thanks madness. I figured you would be the one to answer. Good luck tonight!!

This may not quite answer your question uni, But i take the dog straight up who is laying -200 or more in the run line. GL EXAMPLE: TODAYS PLAYS WOULD BE ON NYMETS RL -230 / ML -110 CHI WHITE SOX -220 / ML -115

This will probably answer your question. THE BASIC. Moneyline is To choose the team as winner outright., that means it has to win. ||an_fight.gif' border=0> RunLine when -1.5, : 1 : the team is a favourite 2 : the team has to win by more than 2 runs in baseball, or in soccer by more than 2 goals, as is the case in hockey. It pays more, but you sacrifice -1.5 runs for it. This bet is good if you know the team can win by more than 2 runs. Ofcourse less than 2 runs difference between them, even if it wins you still lose the bet. RunLine when +1.5, : 1 : the team is an underdog, but by buying +1.5 runs you are actually making that team a favourite by +1.5 runs ahead. Just like in basketball teaser bet. therefore, you are going to win less. In other words you are paying for the extra +1.5 runs. 2 : If the team loses, but the difference between the score is less than 2, you will win the bet, by 0.5 points. I n other words the score let say 2 to 1 for yankees (-1.5) vs boston (+1.5). then boston wins the bet by 0.5 points. Calculations : Yankees is -1.5 >>>> 2-1.5=0.5.... Boston is +1.5 >>>> 1+1.5= 2.5 Which one is a bigger number ? Ofcourse Boston. therefore it pays the one who chooses Boston in their bet. 3 : If Yankees (-1.5) loses 2-1 to Boston (+1.5). Calculation: Yankees is -1.5 minus 1= -2.5 Boston is +1.5 then +1.5 plus 2+3.5 who is bigger number? Boston ofcourse. Hope it is well explained. ||an_speak.gif' border=0> ||quiet.gif' border=0> ||an_violin.gif' border=0> ||Peace_5.gif' border=0> ||thumbs_up.gif' border=0>

Sorry there is a mistake Boston wins the bet by +2.5 points not +o.5 points

Sorry I disagree. Example if you got the Jay`s -200 and the other team is throwing a triple A pitcher then you take -1.5 and get around 11-10. My point is if you think your team is going to kick the crap out of them then lay the -1.5. And then if its a fluke you minamize your loss for being a dumbshit handicapper. If your team wins by one run then you lose and you are a good handicapper but dumbshit bettor.

Look who's talking dumbshit way to go. Very well done. ||an_laugh.gif' border=0> ||an_clap.gif' border=0>

uniden Some books also offer a -1 RL. You push if your team only wins by 1 run & works well to lower the juice. I have page open at a book now for lines that were at 130pm est. NYY were -145 ML ... +111[-1.5 RL]... -119[-1 RL] BRS were -169 ML... +109 [-1.5 RL]... -130[-1 RL] I use the RL when I have a strong feel(maybe gas) for a team but juice is out of my playable range. It adds to W/L risk but reduces the bankroll risk. Both games above were out of my personal "playable juice" range. So if a team is -105 on the ML and +190 on the RL and your bet is 1 unit or $100, what exactly is the potential risk/reward? If you are RISKING a unit: -105 ML bet 100 collect 195 win 95 (or lose 100) +190 RL bet 100 collect 290 win 190 (or lose 100) If you are betting to win a unit: -105 ML bet 105 collect 205 win 100 (or lose 105) +190 RL bet 52.64 collect 152.64 win 100 or lose 52.64) obviously you would have to round off. LOL, I think I just confused myself!

add this to the mix: (A) assess the % chance you give team to win. (B) assess the % chance you give team to win by a margin of over 2 runs. using your team with ML -105 & RL +190 you come up with (A) 60% & (B) 35% divide risk by handle for each (A) 105+100=handle of 205 risk is -105 .........105/205 = .5122 or approx 51.2% wins to break even on bet (B) 100+190=handle of 290 risk is -100 .........100/290 = .3448 or approx 34.5% wins to break even In this case ML is the play. Hope that helps.

uniden - stick to the ML and you will find the best success between an advisable range of -150 to +140. The big faves are too painful when they tank and the big dogs are bid dogs for a reason, not many long shots come in. You need a mix... baseball, as a ML sport like NHL, requires a lot of research and a lot of luck. Play wisely - less is better or the juice will eat you alive. Done right, in my opinion, you will playing the medium faves (-130 to -145ish) the most. Sprinkle in a few dogs when they look good to bark. That means 55% is a goal to gain an advantage over the house. Runline faves are just too tough, it is hard enough to win straight up, let alone by more than one run. If you are playing a ML dog to play within one run, why not just take the dog on the ML? GL old friend. v.||thumbs_up.gif' border=0>
