MLB: Please don't sweep me

Series-Chase System.

Series with 3 or 4 games. 

Stop after first win of "my" team. 

Based on my own power rankings.

Run very good in '14 and '15 - then I took a longer break from betting, but being (obviously) back, I thought I give it another try.

Staking: 

To win 1 unit per bet + loss recovery.

ML only. Some heavy Favs will occur, so I'll go for 0,25% of starting Bankroll as units.

Best of luck :)

Really unhappy with this weekend. Looks to be a ery bad start. Yet - should work out long-time but I hate this. Oakland again back, Rays just lost their first series of the year. In a sweep...

I hear ya... I got burnt last week by dodgers and brewers... I suggest, less series... and really put thought into it, possibly taking 4 game series and home team but not a mass favorite... just my opinion... also even trying over unders... but as I said I lost 2 sweeps already so I am climbing out of a hole

Thanks for the feedback yanks and BOL at your climb ;)

As written above, I was very succesful with my series picking-approach in the past. And am not willing o change the system just because of two early losses.. some losses WILL appear, just hoped they would pop up significantly later..

A: 5

B: 1

C: 2

Todays A-Bets, will post the specific bets when I find the time and got odds with a little less juice as right now:

Tigers @Red Sox

Dodgers @Cubs

Braves @Reds

All three times the road-team

Tigers @Red Sox (A): Boyd - Sale: 2.20 to win 1.00

Rest follows, I think I will post all remaining bets at once, so I will wait how Game 1 of DET @BOS plays out.

So, the Tigers beat Sale. Well, I knew that of course! ;) To be honest, I'm quite happy with this and expected a B-Bet... ESPN and Co told me so..

Anyway. Here are all games - mentioning Tigers-Red Sox again, to ease quoting tomorrow for the report.

Astros @Twins (B): Miley - Pineda: 5.13 to win 3.71

Nationals @Rockies (B): Corbin - Hoffman: 4.85 to win 2.94

Tigers @Red Sox (A): Boyd - Sale: 2.20 to win 1.00

Dodgers @Cubs (A): Maeda - Quintana: 1.00 to win 1.00

Braves @Reds (A): Gausman - Gray: 1.14 to win 1.00

Nationals bet, isn't that too big as you only lost .9 first game?

So I realized, if you bet 1.1 to win 1... game 2 bet, isn't it to win 1 + 1.1? You seem to be adding the bet plus win amount potential plus anot her unit? 

I add one unit "to win" per Game. Rewarding me for the extra work, so to say, and aiming for 1 unit per game.

Quick example, all bets at 2.0 / +100 :

A-Game: Risk 1.00 to win 1.00 (my one unit, I want to have)

B-Game: Risk 3.00 to win 3.00 (1 unit loss recovery, 1 unit "to win" from the A-Game, 1 extra unit since its B-Game)

C-Game: Risk 7.00 to win 7.00; 1+3=4 units loss recovery, 1 unit each for A,B,C [third stage, so i want 3 units]

D-Game: Risk 15.00 to win 15.00; 1+3+7=11 units loss recovery, 1 unit each for A,B,C,D [fourth stage, so i want 4 units]

A: 9

B: 3 (2 running=

C: 2

D: 0

Lost: 2

-15.79

Dodgers @Cubs (B): Buehler - Hamels: 3.35 to win 3.00

Braves @Reds (B): Soroka - Roark: 3.77 to win 3.14
