MONEY MANAGEMENT:

All my MLB Free Picks use the following Money Management strategy:

Bankroll divided by 300 = 1 unit
If the line is -200 or higher then divide the unit size by 3

For Example:

• Your bankroll was $1500. Your unit size would be $5.
• However if the play was NY Yankees -280, then the unit size would be $1.66

HOW TO BET:

All favorites are to win and all dogs are risk. Using the above unit size.

• If the pick was NY Yankees -125 then the bet would be $6.25 to win $5.00
• If the pick was NY Yankees +160 then the be would be risking $5.00 to win $8.00

MLB is always a roller coaster ride of fun and excitement. Following my Sports Picks and betting on the MLB will be an adventure and surely add a huge level of interest and excitement to any game. Even if you never watch a game, put some money on it and it becomes valuable entertainment. :-)

I wish us all the best of luck,

[DukeJohn]

Is that 2 unit plays?

They are each 1 Unit plays, however one is the money line and the other is the runline

Good luck of course...another profitable venture about to begin I'm sure...

[DukeJohn]

That, I am afraid I will not reveal. My personal systems are how I make a living at Sports Betting and although I am willing to use them to make a strategy that I can post for everyone, as I do. Actually spelling out what exactly I do personally, that is another story.

Now, I do put money down of these free picks too as I believe in this system, but it is untested, so I'm not putting my whole bankroll into it.

Anyway, best of luck to us both this season,

[DukeJohn]

Will be tailing for sure!

Thanks guys and it will be interesting to see how this all evolves. I was excited about the preliminary back testing, but it required so many hours of work, that I just gave up and decided to take it live.

So you're keeping a system record for system plays you're not even posting?

[DukeJohn]

So you're keeping a system record for system plays you're not even posting?

Yep, Always have and always will. If it bothers you, don't look at that line.

[Iced]

Yep, Always have and always will. If it bothers you, don't look at that line.

It doesn't bother me, just clarifying. You seem like an honest guy, I believe you.

[DukeJohn]

Thank you for saying so. We posters are so used to being attacked, sometimes we jump the gun.

As for posting the record, it will let me compare the two at the end of the season and see how it progressed throughout the season. Although My Personal Record includes the Free Pick System, I would just need to subtract that out. Of course, right now I would be doing a little better without it but the season is so early. Usually what happens is my Personal Record will swing violently while the Free Picks will stay steady. However, being able to go back over the progression allows me to determine if I need to tighten or loosen the unit size in future seasons.

Not sure I explained it very well, but that is the long reason for posting both.

Best of Luck this season,

[Iced]

No problem Duke, sorry if I came off as being hostile. Your explanation was good, I understand it.

Thanks for the good luck wishes, hopefully you have another profitable season as well.

Horrible start for Toronto, but they tied it up and then won in the 10th

I actually made a mistake somehow. Not sure how because I record all the transaction numbers, but somehow I didn't get the runline of -1.5 bet down. Good thing since it would have lost. Although the record below will NOT reflect this little bonus mistake.

G'nite and see ya tomorrow,
