wondering since every big fav that wins easily covers it regardless if they are only up 1 late or down in the game.. just look at mariners angels oakland cardinals every day same thing wonder how buried books are from the -1.5 RL gift value

JJgold says he dont trust -1.5 yet it always wins.. LOL talk about bad luck if he lost with itComment -

I post my picks on here and I take many run lines. Just depends on value. Check me out . New to this site 17-9 record. Hit a lot of RL/dog betsOriginally posted by CappinpicksComment -

wow that seems high for this yr, maybe that factors in dogs -1.5?Originally posted by poseyComment -
May be so, I'll post a few more results in a few minutes. I did only some basic queries.Comment -
Never do +1.5 I think it's one of the dumbest bets in mlb..Comment -
I agree. I don't like this type of bet either.Comment -
Posey, you seem to have access to a huge database. These numbers are interesting. I understand the OP's thoughts, the tradeoff in terms of juice seems to be not worth it. But mind you, there's a huge difference between winning or losing a bet. Sounds simple, but that's all there is to it. Same reason why it kills you on the long run if you lose half a point on a total bet because you didn't catch the early lines.
I'd love to know the difference on my total bankroll if I took the +1.5 for every -1.5 played so far. Maybe someone who's keeping track of his bets posts his results here.Comment -
I think it depends on the juice.Originally posted by Nitronett
I wouldn't take +1.5 at -160 but if it was like -110 or even money and I thought the team had a chance to win straight up I might take it.Comment -
yea i might get it at -110 but seems so easy for angels/whoever to blow them out in 1 inningComment -
I don't know why the numbers are a little bit screwed, but that's what killersports gave me. Maybe it's because in some games both teams are at equal odds. Forget the numbers from above, use those!

so 2012, dogs taken on the +1.5 RL won 977 + 360 = 1337 times. There were 977 + 1375 = 2352 games for a win percent of 56.8%Originally posted by posey
in 2013, that is 983+419 / (983+1368) = 59.6%
in 2014 that is (566 + 200) / (566+704) = 60.3%
equating those to american odds, thats -131, -148, and -152.
for reference, today's +1.5 RL's average out to -155.Comment -
If you do not mind , could you break this further to home and away stats. tiaOriginally posted by poseyComment -
Yeah, gonna do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow Not enough time left today. Sorry.Comment -
pretty crazy to think it hits over 10% as far as helping you win.. either way the juice is retardedComment
