    Parlay Props - MLB

    Alright here it goes. I've been working on different combinations of prop plays using 2 team parlays for the MLB 2012 season, and have seen consistent success with the parlaying of player RBI lines. So that will be the main focus of this thread. Occasionally I will use other line options, and some days there will be no plays based on the lack of selection.

    Now, I have to warn you that I am a Noob, so some of my terminology may not be up to speed with some the experts on this site. And this is an experiment to see if my strategy can work long term. However, I am not new to smart risk taking, so rest assured that I'm not just risking money hoping to get lucky.

    Also, I will be moderating this thread to cut down on the back and forth nonsense that sometimes goes on, so that we can all focus on what's important which is making smart plays in order to increase our profit intake.

    With that said, I hope that you will check in on this thread from time to time, to see the success that will be achieved in the upcoming months. Lets do this!!

    Congratulations. Tonight was our first win. Here's to many more. The B. Ryan play gave us a scare. What's the odds of a player hitting a triple and trying to stretch it out into an inside the park home run. I didn't see it personally but I'm glad there was an accurate throw to the plate. With that said, here are the results:

    Today's Results: +1.61 units
    Total Results: 1 - 0, +1.61 units

    Well, there goes my undefeated season. What's up with all of these triples? W. Venable scored a runner who was on first base with the triple he hit. Nevertheless, here is the record so far:

    Today's Results: 0 - 1, -1 unit

    No deal on Today's parlay. We are 4 - 3 for the week. This has been my average for these parlays. We netted 2.40 units for the week. Hopefully next week will be just as profitable or more. Here are the results:

    I bet batters a lot too. It's moreso matchups though, like if BOS-TOR are playing, I'd bet on Adrian Gonzalez vs Jose Bautista on total bases. BOL to you

    Thanks man. I haven't tried those types of bets before but I'll take a closer look at those. Do you have a lot of success with those? And do you parlay them?

    I parlay them with the team they play for... the most recent one was bet on Josh Hamilton over Albert Pujols and Texas over the Angels. in most cases, a team needs their key player to make hits to win games, so either I get both right or both wrong. But the payout is pretty good. I don't keep track of my winnings/losses, but it's a system I'd like to see being tried and tested.

    That system makes sense. Let me know if you start keeping a track record. I would like to know the outcome of over 10 or more bets. I may incorporate those plays into my strategy if the outcome is consistently profitable. BOL and keep me posted.

    Alright. Toronto Blue Jays tricked me on this one. B. Lawrie batted in the 1st spot instead of his usual 6th spot in the lineup. Thus, giving him a greater chance to score a run. Here are the results:

    www.proline.ca ... check the results for the past week there. Sorry to say, it's only available in Ontario, Canada. The odds are also junk (it's a government lottery), and you have to parlay 3-6 games. I only use this to bet on batters and their teams, but I like it because I can cash out the next day in person. I'm sure there's a book out there that'll do props/games parlay.

    I'm thinking of betting both sides each game, and throw in an easy pick hoping for an easy win lol
