Home System

First Home Syestem plays for 2010: All bets are to win 1U.

San Francisco Giants +147 (Top 10 team)

St. Louis Cardinals - 111 (Never lost an entire 2009 6+ game homestand)

Chicago Cubs - 154 (Never lost an entire 2009 6+game homestand)

Plays for Tuesday, April 27th:

Minnesota Twins @ DETROIT TIGERS (no line on Matchbook yet)

Oakland @ TAMPA BAY RAYS* (no line on Matchbook yet)

Phillies @ GIANTS (only if San Francisco loses tonight)

*I realize there is only 5 games left on TB's homestand, however, TB never lost 5 in a row at home in 2009. 

I'm confused, you say betting top 10 teams from last year only, cards and cubs not on your list??

Yeah you're right, but it's not my list. I saw it on another board as I listed in the first post.  But I also backed it up by showing that neither team lost everygame in a 6+ game homestand. I'm adapting mine to picking teams that never lost an entire 6+ game homestand.   

Plays for Wednesday:

GM 2: Detroit Tigers (waiting on line)

Plays for Wednesday:

GM 2: Detroit Tigers W 11-6 thanks to a horrible call.

Good Luck

Can you tell us your team list ?

Honestly I am going to stick to the top 10 home teams from 2009.  I bet the Cards and Cubbies more on whim, mainly because I was playing them anyways that day.  Luckily for me they both won.  So if you want the list, refer to the first post. 

I am also debating trying a new method of only chasing after a top 10 team loses the first game of six.  I haven't researched it past last year.  If you notice the top ten teams overall w-l record increases dramatically after GM 1.

2009 Top 10: 

GM 1: 62-43 or 59%

GM 2-4: 43-16 or 73%

GM 5: 0-0

GM 6: 0-0

If you eliminate the first game of a 6 game series and play the second game following a loss and increase your wager, there may be some success.  And to stray off system, if a losing stretch does in fact happen, like the 2006 Braves, you could adapt the system and continue the chase following that teams next home series.  And again I have not done my due diligence on this, however I'm willing to bet that a top ten home team has rarely lost 7 home games in a row.  Just thinking out loud.  Not sure if it has any substance, just speculating.  Feel free to add an idea or provide some constructive criticism towards the latter system.  Happy hunting.

...and to answer your next question.  I will indeed correct the 2010 W-L record to show only the top 10 teams record.  Even though the Cards and Cubs successfully survived 2009 without a 6 game home losing streak.
