    New baseball strategy
    I have been paper betting the past month and a half or so which is my strategy to start the baseball season and this past week have finally started wagering again.

    I have decided to stick to (1) 3 team parlay a day, and it will always be risking $50 (1/2 unit). I did this last year and had decent success but also didnt get too buried like previous years... Does anyone else do this? In leau of straight bets? I am going to track for this month and then re-evaluate...

    Tonight:

    Mets/Phils over 8/Seattle over 8.5

    Livian has been hot for the Mets and Snell has not, I will take over 8 in a Phils game anytime, and I think Seattles bullpen is tired and see 3-4 late runs..

    GL tonight!

    (risking $50 to win $300)

    Mets bullpen is really reminding me of last year... Least Seattle didnt go over, doesnt hurt as much!

    Looking at:

    SF
    Boston over
    Yanks under

    Any thoughts?

      Yanks RL
      Minny RL

      Thinking about doing 2 separate parlays with these mixed in...

              0-4 on parlays for the night but couldve squeezed a profit if I would've bet everything flat... Maybe this will be a 2 week experiment and not a month

              Looking at:

              Milwaukee
              Atlanta
              Houston Under
              Cincy
              Philly
              Yanks RL (again)

              Any thoughts?? would be GREATLY appreciated!

                    I thought about going that route but my thing is the risk to reward/probability of hitting... I think I can hit a 3 teamer every so often while minimizing my risk amount... Yesterday was a major exception because I was an idiot and took too much... I am sticking to 2 a day for the next 2 weeks and see how I end up.

                    This could be a long ride

                      OK this strategy sucks my balls but I am not throwing in the towel yet... I am going to throw a 2 teamer in as well... I couldve turned a profit AGAIN last night if I was flat betting... 3-2 in posted plays...

                            2 Team Parlay... No more games onto one card I would suggest.

                              FINALLY a profitable night!!!!

                              The ATL game being rained out cost me (assuming they win) but I will take it...

                                2-7 on parlays YTD

                                but one was reduced to a straight up wager and the other was reduced to a 2 teamer... Barely broke even but definitely better than losing...

                                Posted plays went 3-2 AGAIN...

                                  I have narrowed it down to:

                                  TB +1.5 -120

                                  Toronto over 7.5 (I think Toronto might be able to hit Greinke a little bit...He gave up 5 hits and 2 ER last meeting, so over 7.5 seems possible)

                                  Cubs

                                  Marlins -1.5 +140

                                  Pirates +122

                                  Oakland -118


                                  Any thoughts??

                                      why do you do so many parlays man?
                                      they are gonna screw you in the long run.
                                      but goodluck.,

                                        I am trying to reduce my risk amount but also maximize my possible win amount... Like I said in the first post its an experiment and I will see how I do. As of today I would be basically even on the week but I am down because of the parlays. I am giving it one more week and see how it goes...

                                          ok well goodluck man.
                                          the only way i play parlays is for like 5-10$
                                          just so that i dont waste alot of money but have fun doing it
                                          and sometimes win.

                                              1-1 on parlays last night... Unfortunately though I went 4-1 on posted plays as TB was rained out... Grinded a small profit...

                                              I am doing half a unit each on the parlays BillA... So I am only risking 1 unit total on the day compared to risking anywhere between 3-8 units on any given day...

                                                Detroit

                                                MAYBE Detroit Under... I really like how Jackson has been pitching and his pitches match up well vs the Angels the wild card is Escobar, he got shelled in his last AAA game so I am very iffy...

                                                Texas

                                                TB +1.5

                                                Dodgers

                                                maybe Dodgers -1.5 +160

                                                Also looking at Cincy today, guy they called up has a great WHIP which is been a really good indicator of pitching match ups this year...

                                                Any thoughts?

                                                      Putting a 2 unit straight bet in on St Louis -126, I don't see them losing 4 straight at home... This is not for the weak stomachs out there!

                                                      Pitt/Yanks under 11/St. Louis over 8.5
                                                      $50 to win $340

                                                      Not including St Louis in the parlay because I will be hurting enough if they get swept, don't want it to hurt the parlay. I think that they have a great chance of coming out guns blazing in this game...
