    **** MLB Totals ** 478-343 + 83 units Last Year ****
    Hello everyone,

    Baseball begins today!!!

    Last year we started a thread and using our over 40+ years years of handicapping baseball, incorporating traditional metrics such as starters, relievers, weather, umpires, etc. As the season progressed we noticed/developed a simply handicapping system based solely on relievers. This simple system produced a 360-265 season. (Regular Plays went 118-78 +23.60 units) Overall, we managed a 478-343 record. Here is the link for last year's thread:
    MLB handicapping, baseball betting, picks, matchups and the latests game results in the MLB forum.


    To be clear, the sample size for the Reliever Plays is only one season, which in the scheme of things, is not very big, however we will be posting (time permitting) the Reliever Plays along with our Regular Plays once again this year. All of our Regular Plays are based on one unit. (We do not believe in 5 unit, 10 unit or 100 unit plays.) If we post it, we feel it's going to win. It does not mean it will win, as we all know!

    A few words of caution:

    1. Money management is the key. It's a long season with a lot of plays, (over 800 last season) We will have swings so do not allow a couple of losing days in a row affect your lifestyle. If you play any of these plays, I recommend 2% to 3% of your BR, but ultimately it's your decision.

    2. Last year we started out slow. It's been my observation over the years that the beginning and ending of the season is the most volatile, so keep that in mind.

    3. To quote a typical investment advertising disclaimer.... Past performance does NOT guarantee future results.

    Having said all those things, I certainly plan to be on the plus side this year. As good as last year???? I can't say, but I will be working hard to achieve that goal.

    Above, I gave the link to last year's thread. Some posts that may help answer your questions are"

                    Thanks Kad. Every play is one unit. Your bankroll will dictate your unit amount.

                      Hi TT How's things on the "other side of the pond"? I noticed your first inning thread getting fired up.

                      Thanks for trying to nominate. Not sure why they did not allow it.

                      Good luck to you this season also.

                              How long will you be accumulating reliever data before you feel it's enough to begin the reliever plays?

                              Best of luck for a fun and profitable season!

                              I started my thread in Players' Talk, I assumed it would be cross-posted into the MLB forum, but guess we'll see, lol.

                                Very excited to get things going this season. Just seeing baseball on TV is motivating the heck out of me.

                                Real strange that I couldn't nominate you....

                                  Thanks Capy I will start looking at the data after 3 games, but it may take a little longer.

                                        Two years ago I posted totals only and went 103-77 for the season. Last year I started posting sides and I went 1-8 and and after about a week decided to stick with totals only. The record I posted on this thread is for totals only.

                                                          Also quick question. I looked at your thread from last year. Your regular plays show a +/- units. But your reliever plays don't. Are the reliever plays also graded at 1 unit a play? TIA.

                                                                Thanks Raider Since there are so many Reliever Plays and they are all totals, I just calculate the +/- based on the average line, usually about -113. I just don't have the time to calculate the exact number, plus the lines do vary so taking an average is just as good, IMHO.
