    MLB Totals 2017

    Attempting to do a MLB totals only thread

    Disclaimer: 1st year of existence so bet at your own risk. I will not make any claims of winning 100s of units at seasons send.

    Theoretical bet selection: Play selection will be determined by over under streaks starting at 3 games and continuing forward. Will continue betting o/u streak until it loses. Once a streak is over, regardless of when it is, the betting series is over.
    I will be using covers print sheet
    http://www.covers.com/faxsheets/index.aspx

    Unit size: This is NOT a chasing system. I will be betting 1% of total bankroll per play

    Will welcome any suggestions once season starts. Will start after first week of season.
    if you're going to say "your system sucks" during a downturn, thats fine but I will refer you to the disclaimer at the top.

    Good stuff buddy. Just be very cautious during spring training. I never risk more than 0.5% of BR on any sort of ST game and actually try to stay clear from them.

    If your system doesn't do well during ST, just brush it off and focus on the regular season. Get em!

    If you aren't considering pitcher in a baseball game, especially a total, you are bound to lose. If you insisted on doing something foolish like betting streaks, it might be better to go with starting pitchers instead of just teams.

    I hear ya and given that plenty of thought but how many times have kershaw pitched a shutout only to have the dodgers score 6 runs when the o/u is 5.5? or two #5 starters in the rotation playing ot coors field pitch the games of their lives and the score is 1-0

    If i knew the magical formula of picking winners, id be rich

    Im sure there is some mathematical relationship between pitches ERA and WHIP and the O/U and certain linesmakers have already accounted for that. This is why I put a disclaimer on the first post to bet at your own risk.

    So, Again, what is the actual bet?
    Is it San Fran over 8 team runs?
    please please explain what the pick actually is. I still don't understand. Even though you explained it it clearly is still screwing me up. Can anyone please help?
    thank you.

    I checked April 6 picks. It says San Fran over 9 a push. How the hell is that a push?
    they scored three runs?
    am I the stupid one here?
    arizona over 9 a push? Yes. they scored nine runs. That I get. Please tell me what the hel the pick is in that game that made San Fran a push.

    This clearly is as weird a results list as it gets.
    You have April 7 pick to say SF over 8
    then for the results you say SF over 7 being a win. They scored six runs!!!!
    how is that a win?
    sportsbetter please explain this system clearer please!!!!!!!

    will try and clear up some confusion

    I am betting continuing streaks of GAME totals, not specific team totals

    Todays plays
    4/8


    SF over 7 (Streak total 4)10 to win 9.09 Explanation: SF vs SD the game total is 7. Since score is 2-1 for a total of 3 runs this is a LOSS. Betting stops on any SF total until they either have a streak of 3 over or under.

    col under 9 (Streak total 3)1% of bankroll 11 to win 10 Explanation: col vs LAD the game total is 9. Since the score is 4-2 this is a WIN. Tomorrow will be col vs lad under (streak total will be 4 since this is a win)
    Det over 9 (Streak total 3)1% of bankroll 11 to win 10 Loss (score was 4-1 for total of 5)
    LAA Under 8 (Streak total 3)1% of bankroll 11 to win 10 current score is 2-1 in 3rd. at this rate this will probably lose


    Yesterdays results

    SF Over 8 (Streak total 3) 1% of bankroll 11 to win 10 Yesterdays resultswin

    So then you are actually betting the over or under in the game because I know of no Sportsbook that lets you bet a streak like that?
    i think that's what you're doing but I have no theory as to why you would bet the under twice when teams are playing each other.
    Mom this I havent a clue what you are doing.
    Many chance you can show me a bet with the bet amount shadowed out of the picture?

    im currently out of town at a funeral but coming home today where i can work off my desktop instead of this chromebook.
    I just realized Ive a tracking error or two so thanks for pointing it out

    seeing this is only a week old, i can fix everything when i get home tonight,but to try and give you a generic answer to some of your questions:
    1. im betting on game totals only
    2. look at the fax/print sheet from covers http://www.covers.com/faxsheets/index.aspx
    If you look all the way to the right it shows you the totals and the streak length. This is what im using to determine bet selection. If the total streak is greater than 3 then i betting on it.
    3. if two teams are playing each other and they both have an over/under total of three im making 2 bets, one for each team. Basicly betting to win two units

    I have no idea if this will be profitable and i am not going guarntee it either. I back tested it on last years numbers and it produced 40+ units. As much as i would love to spend hours on end checking out records, numbers, starting pitcher,era, whip,etc..... i dont have time for that and its not worth it to make a $10 bet. I check out the fax report, find my plays, make the bet, post it here all in under 5 min.

    I would strongly suggest you check out double dime and technical trader mlb picks and post
    they have a few 1000 post to their credit and their picks seem legit over last few mlb seasons
