Thanks Dubs. That's the idea.

I like using the 1RL when we're playing favorites. I never feel that I can go that heavy on the regular runline and with the moneyline I hate the juice so the 1RL is my bet of choice when it isn't April or September.

You can get a free excel calculator to make the bet if you google: ' 1RL calculator '

You were smart. I kicked myself a bit for not doing that too....because I always try to keep one thing in mind with runline: the -1.5 is only to be played on road teams. -1 or ML for home favs because if they're leading they play one less inning than the other team and that's conducive to a tighter margin.

I'm glad to hear that the -1 paid off for you and you played it smart there. At the same time though....Detroit still is #1 in the League for covering the -1.5 as home favorites. We lost that one MAINLY due to a big dumb (flukey?) inning early on for the Twins.

I've got a treat for today. It is a two team parlay. Rather than micro trend validation, I'll show you two of my big systems driving these two plays.

For 5.24.2013 Take:

Two Team Parlay:
#968 Detroit Tigers ML
#972 Boston Red Sox ML
($656 to win $1,186.05)

*MAY SYSTEM - 1664-1366 (54.9% +143.41 units) - Active on Boston - Sub .600 Home teams cheaper than -175 in May (since 2004). Opponent is not on a losing streak worse than 3 losses.

*BIG EARLY SEASON CHALK SYSTEM - 216-85 (+1.77 rpg, 71.8%, +27.80 units) - Active on Detroit - April and May; Favorites -200 to -250. Public usually hates these, but they come through at a rate good enough to take on the money line.

This might be my most important post/statement I make here: Notice our win / loss record is lousy? I don't even keep record of it. That.is.MLB. Most people who make money in bases hit around 45-52% and people who hit over 54%+ MOSTLY are losing money! 

Avoid that chalk when you can by taking -1 runlines, Underdogs or Two Team Parlays. July is the only profitable money of the MLB season for Favorites fyi...

Favorites -200 to -250 this year are 30-13 up +2.45 units , but if you bet all favorites -200 and up it's 43- 18 up +1.05 units not worth risk in my opinion

Not sure what you're smokin' Jeff or where you are getting your numbers. I'd like to "help" you since you asked.

1. This season, Detroit is 25-22 (53.2%, +3.74 units) on any runline. 21-19 (52.5%, +5.28) and Favorites. 12-10 (54.5%, +4.01 units) as home favorites.

2. Since 2010, they're 110-117 (+26.61 units, +11.5% roi) on the runline as home favorites. That tops the league actually.

So what. Since 2004 (10 year sample), April and May Favorites between -200 and -250 are 218-86 (71.7%, +27.45 units, +4.1% roi).

If you concentrate too heavily on what happens or has happened in just one year or season you won't do well in the long run. You need to start using systems or models the consider very large samples and that are simple and logical. Don't bet on your opinion; bet on facts and you'll turn your record around.

I understand what your saying Herb but extrapolated out over 10 years that is only 2.74 units a year again not worth risk. Good luck today on your plays

Simple and logical systems with big sample and modest roi are worth the risk. People just can't stomach big chalk like that...which is one of the reasons it is a good system. What usually works in betting is what turns your stomach into a knot...most of the time that would be the underdog, but that system fits the same sort of bill.

MIL hasn't played well. They've had some negative reports. Same goes for KC. I am staying away from both for a while. If you lose at home (MIL) to a so so team, that is not a good sign.

How would you define "so so"? I can check this thought out in my databases to see how teams that lose at home to so so teams do.
