    I know that our good friend No Coin will not agree, but baseball totals are the shit. Nice work starting the season, Bank!

    I love totals in every sport.. Never understood nc stance on them, sure there bad and good breaks but no different than sides.. NC does have terrible luck w them tho, dunno if it just cause he bets so few or they just not his thing..

    I understand totals in baseball fairly well. Football some, but I don't get them when they come to my favorite sport basketball. Any pointers?

    Really liking Rays, considering upgrading to 2u. Madison, get in here and remind me what happens when I start feeling too optimistic....
    Did exactly that...Had to lay the juice because I don't get the -1 line (either ML or -1.5) so was worried a little but no way was I gonna miss doubling up.

    I don't do nba only NCAA hoops, I guess it probably entails the same thing tho, just don't like nba as I find way too hard to determine who gives a shit on any given night. Playoffs I like but I pretty much only do sides.. NCAA I'm sure me or biff could point u in the right direction to give u a foundation, once you have that u can start doing subjective tweaking.. I don't really have lot of free time ATM but if u shoot me a pm sometime I'll try and discuss it w you 1 day this summer..

    Putting half your wager on ML and half on -1.5RL is the equivalent to getting the -1RL.

    I guess shortest answer for now and a big key is figuring out how many possessions there are gonna be in the gm. After that then u can come up with how many points u expect per possession and so on and so forth.. I'd be more than happy to chit chat bout it sometime before next season.. If u smart like biff and not a computer dummy like me u can make life easier, at same time I think being forced to do my way instead of program has advantages, takes forever tho! Lol

    Thank you, STF!

    Also, so that we're clear, Bank, you can feel free to post your stuff in here and consider this your thread. I know that you aren't crazy about keeping a regular thread because of your work schedule, and the more the merrier.

    STF said it absolutely correct. Place two wagers, one ML and one -1.5 RL, and stagger the amounts such that your ML to-win amount = your RL stake (so that if team wins by one run, your ML win pays for your -1.5 RL loss). And, as our friend fitguy reminds us, always "roll your own." That is, many books offer -1 RL as an option, but never take it as books overcharge for it. Yesterday, when i got Ray -1 RL at +103, 5D listed -1 RL at -105.

    In long meeting and have quick moment to check in. I'm heavy on Tribe emotional ML. Based upon current weather in Cleveland, I'd put odds of rainout at -120, odds of rain delay -280. I love Salazar but that's steep price to pay for 2-3 innings of Salazar or Salazar in home opener after having to wait around during 3 hour rain delay.

    Baseball wouldn't be the same w/o posting in you and NC's threads!! Couldn't stop playing the new show on ps3 last night, now busy ass morning, trying to rush to cap some early gms but not sure I make it. Might just hop on yours..,did u run totals? 1st glance over in lad seemed tempting.

    Bank, haven't had time for totals yet, hope to free up around 3:30 pm EST. Ran SF/LAD for you though and not crazy about over. I get around 7.05-7.20 there. Also FYI Kemp is out.
