My weird strategy betting dogs

[Covering the #]

Will try this for awhile to see if I can gain traction. Looking for certain edges that may or may not pan out. Will be using 3 way run totals as a bonus, so even if dog loses there is a chance to get it back or even up our winnings.

For tonight

Rockies ml and over 9.5 +400 half unit

Rockies and under 10.5 +350 half unit

Total runs exactly 10 +850 0.1 unit

[Covering the #]

Current line is Rockies +164 for reference and starts in about 15 minutes

[Covering the #]

The strategy in this thread is obviously trying to maximize a win other than just taking them moneyline pregame for a little less profit

[Covering the #]

Rockies win 7-6

+1.4 units overall

Profit gained/lost on hedging (-.24) as taking Rockies straight up +164 was the ultimate play

Exact runs 0-1 -.10 units

Oakland/over 7.5 + 340 half unit

One more for tonight. Any time Will Smith is out of the lineup is a good time to go against Dodgers.

I will try up to 10 games to see if I can middle anything to try and see if this is a waste of time or not. Can't use listed pitchers for this type of betting so that's why I usually wait to make sure lineups and pitchers don't change.

[Covering the #]

Had a small accounting error on hedging and is fixed now. Didn't change the overall units at all.

[Covering the #]

Getting this in now. Remember all these plays are action, no listed pitchers. Need to strike when the exacta totals land on an odd number if possible. Haven't always done that in this thread but keep it in mind because an even total requires the dog to win by at least 2. Almost played Reds but the exacta moved off 9 to 8 a bit before I could do anything.

Arizona/over 8.5 +340 half unit

Arizona/under 9.5 +350 half unit

3 way run total 9 +650 0.1 unit

Arizona is +160 for reference

Just came across this ; I’ll tail tonight

Bad beat central. One out away with nobody on base from hitting a middle, not to mention the Reds game would've middled had I not waited too late. Az loses 6-5, net -1.1 units. Since dog lost, only the exacta will count in the hedging units.

Overall +3.85 units

Hedging -1.69 units

[RErunSHORTcut]

up 400 ish units is possible if you make small bets before i uh load up again isn't it

[Sund]

Anything for today ?

[RErunSHORTcut]

Cin reds or Phillys haven't decided which im just gonna pick 1

fading the yankees or cubs, get to fade one of the games

[Sund]

Covering the #s what say you for today

[Covering the #]

Anything for today ?

Probably nothing today. Lean Reds but they don't hit lefties as well as righties, their better bullpen guys were used yesterday and may not be available today, plus they won yesterday so a decent size dog winning 2 in a row on the road is not as likely to happen.

I won't make plays every day in this thread but a small dog that I do like would be the Cards. But going 1-1 on a parlay split wouldn't even get a full unit in return so I don't use anything in this thread that would guarantee at least a full unit in return.

You're picking well even if the exotic end isnt cashing so far. Only need to middle 1 in 15ish to make it worthwhile.

Bad wording by me above but I assume everyone understands. Here's what I meant to convey. I don't use a small dog hedge parlay unless I can get a guaranteed return of at least even money. And even then, that'll be few and far between because I'm usually looking for dogs pregame +150 or above that I think have a decent shot. Circumstances are always considered at time of bets. Sometimes I like something but the splits don't make sense and I will pass but this is mostly a pilot test. The exacta is an added twist to get a chunk back in case dog loses outright, but if we hit a perfect middle or two here and there, it's going to be worth it.

Thanks. Yeah, figure I'd try something new and see if there's more money in the long run on this. I've never tried this before, but after several beers one night on strategy I figured it was worth a trial run.

[Optional]

It is. It's a cool idea worth testing.

Books might have odds weighted to defeat you, but wont know if don't test it.

Reds & Phillies both hit ! Awesome

Interesting idea. How many total plays have you made so far?

Six games of 2 parlays and a 3 way run total. Dog is 4-2 straight up.

Notice the two dogs that didn't win to at least split a parlay in this thread won convincingly the next day game as dogs. May try a chase system and bet any dog that loses and are still a dog next game against same team. Something to think about at least.

White Sox/over 8.5 +360 half unit

White Sox/under 9.5 +330 half unit

3 way run total 9 +650 0.1 unit

White Sox are +170 for reference

White Sox were +160 when I paired it with the over, then waited to see if I could get a better number on the under, but by then the odds went to +180 so I'm averaging it to +170 for record keeping.

Tough loss for Sox. If they win tomorrow I'll be pissed.

Trying something a bit different tonight but same kind of strategy. Will for sure chase Rockies tomorrow if they lose tonight.

Rockies +160 for 1 unit

3 way run total exactly 9 +650 for 0.1 unit

3 team parlay Rockies/over 8.5/under 9.5 +1800 for 0.1 unit

Almost hit the middle, then almost lost the damn game within minutes. Will probably do a few more of these 3 teamers instead of the 2 teamers because it's getting real hard to find anything +330 or better on both sides of a total. Of course that's means there will be 1.2 units in play instead of 1.1 for the original way. Net +1.4 today with breakdown of thread below:

Overall +3.05

Hedging -2.09

2 teamers 4-10 +2.35

3 teamers 0-1 (-0.10)

Straight bets 1-0 +1.60

3 way run totals 0-8 (-0.80)

Dogs are 5-3 +5.14 in this thread had I played them all as straight bets for extra info
