By selecting both the moneyline and the runline, you save yourself a few cents per bet, as the -1 line is usually a bit higher on 5dimes than doing each separately.
To make your own -1, risk the same on the runline as you bet to win on the moneyline.
Example: Bet 108 to win 80 on the moneyline (-135) and bet 80 to win 120 on the runline (+150). If Orioles win by 1, you break even (as you would on the -1) and if you win both you're up 200.
I did the excel program with the current odds. Selecting 5Dimes current -1 option the odds are -104, if you do it manually its -101. Every cent matters
