    So if any given game has this 13% chance for the favorite to win by 1 run only then...

    The probability for this to occur once in a 3 team parlay would be more like %30, I'm bad at math so I'm sure that's wrong but it's a lot higher than 13% per bet. Or am I missing something here?

    Never mind I see you covered that on post #9

    So if we bet the -1 we would never really lose the whole bet, we'd just win the 2 game parlay.

    I took the top -1RL odds for today, as shown below

    -1RL A = 134
    ML A = 105

    -1RL B = 138
    ML B = 109

    -1RL C = 153
    ML C = 101

    to win? = 10
    risking amount = 27.63

    combination 1 = A*C*E $2.67
    combination 2 = A*C*F $3.36
    combination 3 = A*D*E $3.04
    combination 4 = A*D*F $3.83
    combination 5 = B*C*E $3.05
    combination 6 = B*C*F $3.84
    combination 7 = B*D*E $3.47
    combination 8 = B*D*F $4.37

    What would happen if one of the games pushed? Can anyone calculate the winnings on the 2 game parlay?

    I took the top three -1.5RL and +ML.

    -1.5 RL/+ML
    SEA(130)/TOR(153)
    SDG(190)/CIN(101)
    DET(165)/TEX(118)

    $35.18 to win $25 (-141)

    lets see if we can get this to work

    Why not bet the three games with the highest total? Road teams also have a greater probability of winning by more than 1 run because they often get an extra inning at the top of the ninth.

    Why not:

    Choose the highest road favorites / or the games with the highest totals.

    I still think this will lose long-term but that may help you improve. This would help you avoid teams like the Giants... Halfway into the season I would also filter out the bottom 5% of teams that tend to win by 1 run.

    so you're buying the halfpoint in your parlay? what book lets you do that?

    I'm not wagering, just testing, but I did this switching the SD/CIN game with TB/BOS. I'm also incorporating this into a chase/labby system to hopefully further reduce my risk, even though the OP said not to. Again, though, just testing this right now.

    Just toyed around with picking teams based on the total. Using the games with the 3 highest totals, You'd be risking $30 to make $10. Gotta win 75% to break even there.

    On the other hand, you'd have to risk $13 to win $10 using the three games with the lowest totals.

    I'm optimistic, but skeptical about the idea that we can randomly pick teams and profit.

    that toronto game was a f***kin killer picked the laa/cle and det/tex games that won earlier and jays totally bomb leading 7-0 in the seventh. 3 of the 10 games today and 2 of the 10 yesterday had the favorites lose on the runline.

    interesting system but definitely needs guidelines other than picking random games.

    does not seem to be any decent angles that determine whether a score will be within one point.

    top 3 highest RL/ML odds

    -1.5 RL/+ML
    SF +130/LAD +162
    SDG +180/CIN +106
    ATL +120/FL +162

    Maybe for system development, we should try only two bets instead of three bets...just a thought.

    looking up team run differential and picking games when the top 10 teams played the bottom 10 would result in a winning days on apr 9 and 10 but still a losing day yesterday. cant really backtest differentials to far since they change everyday, but its a start.

    todays games would be tex/det, phi/wsh, col/nym, kc/min, tor/sea. those first three games look to be best as those teams are hot lately.

    So instead of 3 games (66% chance of winning), we have 2 games (76% chance of winning)...it would win only 3 more games (total of 23) assuming 30 games in a month.

    that part of the parlay is canceled out and the odds are adjusted for what is left in the parlay...

    so if you have a 3 team parlay.. and one team pushes the bet.. your parlay turns into a 2 team parlay...

    playing the top and bottom 10 teams by run differential would give you nym/col,tex/det,kc/min and tor/sea today. so omit one of those games for the parlay. both texas and kansascity leading right now as underdogs.

    I like the fact that a team has to win by exactly 1 for it to lose, but is there MATH behind this that shows it's profitable longterm?

    looking at the league standings based on run differentials, if a top10 team is playing a bottom 10 team, then play that match. today there were 4: nym/col, tex/det, kc/min and tor/sea. 3 of those cashed, detroit won by 1.
    so there has to be a way to decide which games to play if theres more than 3.

    I am gonna track it for a few days.. and see what I can come up with..
    Taking the highest average odds from RL and ML.. that are the closest together(IE 120 and 165, as opposed to 185 and 100).
