yesterday you said books won't let you parlay the moneyline and runline because they are related bets.

He parlayed the over run line and ML for whatever team was -1 1/2. His argument for this strategy was that the bets were somewhat related and because a book in vegas wouldn't let him do it. Once he found a site that would he did this for every game every day. He claimed to have been making a killing.
 
Do you see that as being a good strategy if the book will let you? Is there anywhere I could find the statistics if this strategy would have been profitable this past year? any comments you have on this strategy would be greatly appreciated, because my friends and I have been back and forth for over a year as to whether or not it would be statistically advantageous.
 
Thanks so much for your dedicication to the site, This is my first time posting but my friends and i have been following you for roughly half the baseball season and you have been a tremendous asset. once again thanks and hope you keep it up in football and especially basketball.
 
 

Let's use the Yankees today for an example....they are about -200 on the money line and about -115 on the 1.5 run line...u r telling me this guy had a book that would allow him to bet the Yanks -200 parlayed to the Yanks -1.5 runs -115?

If so, please find me that book. I will play with them everyday and liquidate almost everything I have.

Think about it....if you lay 1.5 runs and win, you automatically hit the parlay? SO everytime you cover the runline, you hit the parlay. It's like doubling down on the runline! Why would anyone ever play the run line straight if you are guaranteed to hit the parlay?

I don't believe there is or ever was a book that would allow that.  I think he is mistaken as to what was actually happenning.  Maybe parlaying the OVER with the RL - that is somewhat related, and can produce a slight advantage - one that most reputable books will not allow.
 
Hell if a book allows that shit I would parlay the ML, with the RL, with the alt RL, etc ... lol.
 
While I'm at it I would parlay the colts -6 with colts -6.5 with colts -7.

Congrats on a great day yestereday GH.  I played some College Football games yesterday & padded the wallet.  The NFL helped me to add a little more thickness to the wallet.  Anyway, keep up the good work.  Hope you had a good weekend.  I couldn't have asked for a better one.  I'll have some visuals for you tomorrow.

i think that guy thinks that runline means total.
im fairly certain by his wording...
 
i.e. ml parlayed with the over/under of the game
 
you need to learn the lingo before you place your wagers buddy.
imagine calling a book and asking to parlay the ml with the rl...

Lovin' the under. Got it at 9.5.
 
1. Under is 22-8-2 in TOR last 32 road games.
2. Burnett shut them down 11 days ago & is on fire lately (era around 2 in has last 5 innings - while averaging 7 2/3 innings per start).
3. Jays gotta any position players left? Overbay & Thomas may sit again.
 
No Pads for me though - leanin' on the Over ...
 
GL today

Guys you will need to thank the future Mrs. Big Louie for today's Avatar from her Sleepover that she hosted this weekend.  As as woman, she has the advantage of being in places that I can't be.

GH was your Toronto/NYY under based on Burnett pitching, b/c he's been scratched for Litch.  Regarless, best of luck today

GH...My Fiancee said that her sis told her that she's just "hanging out" with that guy.  Nothing serious, which in my time of knowing her means that it will last less than 30 days.  GL on your plays today.

My Fiancee had a bunch of old College girlfriends in town this weekend, and they stayed with us and partied all weekend.  The girl in the avatar is one of her friends.  I have more Avatars for the week courtesy of my Fiancee who snapped pics of their drunk acts.

Good because I don't have any answers.  This is my 1st time being sober since Friday night.
