    My plays will mostly consist of 1unit-8unit with a few 10 or 12 unit occasional plays... I play units at 2% of BR...keeping the unit as a standard value..at 50u we will have doubled our roll

    Jimbo, this is my first season play MLB in this forum. I was looking for someone to tail and roagbettor told me that you were money last season. Hoping to rock the bookie this season with you. Let's do it!

    Sunday, April 3

    Going to put my toe in the water this morning...

    It's a marathon homies and I play alot of plays on a daily basis...so unit sizing is critical...make it small so that you can handle some of the bigger plays when they come around...

    Its not always the picks that I make, it is the way that I bet them... I will hit certain plays harder when my edge is stronger so plays must be played in the manner in which I bet them or you will not profit the same as I do...


    New York Yankees (-166) 1.66 units to win 1.00 unit

    San Francisco Giants (+129) 2.00 units to win 2.58 units

    Texas Rangers (+126) 2.00 units to win 2.52 units

    San Diego Padres (+153) 1.00 units to win 1.53 units

    How do you suggest we should tail? Risking the same amount of units or "to win" the same amount of units, assuming we don't get the same lines as you do (different books, different times of day)? Thanks and good luck!

    PS: I take it you play listed pitchers?

    Risk the amount that i risk on dogs....
    Risk to win on favs...

    So for instance if I have a fav..(-130) and i bet it 1.30 to win 1.00
    And you get (-125) you bet 1.25 to win 1.00

    With a dog...if i get +150 and bet 2.00 units to win 3.00
    and you get (+145) you would bet 2.00 units to win 2.90

    In general, you will end up getting better lines than myself as I normally post very early in the morning, which gives you the ability to search for the better line...

    Makes sense man, thanks. Surprised at all the dogs you took, not something you see much around here - I like it. Do you play RL's as well or do you prefer sides?

    Straight obviously, that's why he tells you the amount to bet on each.

    Noles, keep in mind that you should adjust the amount you bet on these plays depending on your bankroll. Jimbo suggest that we divide our bankroll by 50, the amount you get is to be considered 1 unit (2% of your entire roll). So if you have $200 in your betting account, then 1 unit equals $4 and you should bet accordingly. Where he says it's a 1 unit play you bet $4, 2 unit plays will therefore be $8 (2 x $4), 1.5 unit plays $6 etc. You need to keep the same bet proportions as he does in order to achieve the same results...

    We are still extremely early into the season so make sure you don't bet more than you can afford to loose.
