    AutoBets for the rest of 2009:

    -i will play against any pitcher who has a WHIP of 2.00 or > in his last 3 starts - as long as the opposing team is -150 or < on the ML

    -i will play on any pitcher whos WHIP is 1.00 or < in his last 3 starts so long as the line is 150 or <


    As you all can tell, im a big believer in WHIP telling the true story of whats going on with a pitcher compared to ERA which too many people focus on.

    good stuff Jimbo - that will create too many bets for me though, as i like to have no more then 4 or 5 plays in a day. but for sure my runline bets going forward will focus on teams in that -170-180 range and especially when they are on the road (betting the home team on the runline essentially gives you 8 inn to work with.)

    FYI - im usually making these bets when capping a game anyway, but now will do it blindly if the criteria fits.

    *one thing i always try to do early in a season is come up with home-made systems that i can use without having to cap the game. (ie, playing the cavs off a su loss this year)

    No. I figure out how much I want to bet on the game. Then I split the bet like I described. Let's say you wanted to put $100 on the Yankees tonight. They are -150 on the ML and +100 on the run line (at least when I booked it). If you put $60 to win $40 on the ML and then $40 to win $40 on the run line.....If the Yankees win by 1 your ML payout covers the RL wager -- push. If they win by 2 or more you win both bets at $80 on your $100. I don't bet any more money than I would have otherwise, I just get a better payout if they cruise and an insurance if they only win by 1. They lose and I lose just as much as I was going to risk anyway.

    This works out better when you have a little better + odds on the run line. I don't bet teams over -140 though so I use this method if I want to play those teams. I rarely leave myself open to losing completely on a run line wager where I had the winner but they only won by 1.

    did you actually back tested your autobets ? or is it just an experiment ?... I think it sounds good with the Whip and so...but does it actually work ?

    ive changed my mind and will not limit myself to 2x on any of these autobets. when up for the week, i like to swing for the fences and may go higher in some situations, and i will actually have some bets at 1x as well

    though the play of betting the dog at +1.5 when the total is 7.5 or < will always be a 2x or > play. this one i feel strongly about as it shouldnt be that frequent of a play.

    I remember when the Yankee fans were talking about his worth compared to Pelfrey on the Mets, "Pelfrey + F. Martinez + etc". I can understand the value of Joba, but not Hughes (right now).

    Yeah...how is that working out for ya?

    marlins (ML) 1x - volstad has a whip of .90 in his last 3

    Well, Washington took the lead into the 3rd but blew it. 3-3 into OT.

    On to the next puck play,

    Chicago +130 (Line looked fishy to begin with and now with the public all over Vancouver it looks even more fishy. Going to ride with Chicago and the value here)

    According to the Chicago Tribune, Aramis Ramirez's stint on the disabled list is likely to last about eight weeks.
