Yup. We straight flat bet these at one unit per game, although due to the success the last few years we are gonna bet these at 2% of our bankroll instead of 1%. Doesn't sound like a huge change, but for us it is. You have to be very conservative betting baseball as far as money management or you're dead in the water by June.

**amitaf0** · 03-21-15, 01:27 PM

thank you Mitch. I appreciate the advice.

All kinds of people in our thread went against us last year, taking a bunch of faves. It makes it fun. When you take faves, you have to win a lot more games to turn a profit. Took us a while to learn this. It was so hard betting these dogs to begin with. Betting games that are supposed to lose...not the easiest road sometimes, but the most profitable.

Geez. I never knew the preseason could drag on this long. Props to grey area for betting these games like a boss. It can be done. I think he may bet with real money, too. April will eventually get here. Ali is on top of her game already. All systems are good to go.

Lots of lack luster days when you bet nothing but dogs. We're used to it. Just the way it is.

Good day with the dogs. Our goal is 50%, and we are a little above that now. We actually did bet one game today with real money, took the Mets because Sabbathia looks like crap. Ca- ching. But still air betting for the most part. No reason to go crazy in the pre-season.

**funnyman** · 03-22-15, 08:39 PM

Mitch,
When I checked SBR games I noticed Mets were -125 favorites because Harvey was starting. How did you get +105.Just curious.Good job today and this exhibition season.

If I was gonna bet real money today it'd be the White Sox. Just a hunch.

**brandcorytoby** · 03-23-15, 11:01 AM

Regular Season Plays

How many plays do you average per day during the regular Season?

Thanks

Probably around five, but there are days with zero and days with ten. You have to be somewhat bankrolled because of the occasional losing streak. You have to be patient, not get crazy, and stick with your game plan. You WILL cash half your dog tickets for a nice profit if you do this. It's pretty much the only way to go betting baseball. Dogs, dogs, and more dogs.

**mitch51** · 03-23-15, 11:27 AM

Brandcorytoby, our record last year with the dogs was 186-186. Add these together, divide by number of days in the season and there you go. Would do this, we are still busy capping...

**McCarthyFam** · 03-23-15, 02:22 PM

of course the cardinals game gets called. only needed another half inning of play for it to be official -__-

Post 1, first paragraph:

Hello everyone,

We are back after a successful year last year. We just want to let you know the way we are going to be rolling this year. For the first two months until June 1st we can pretty much guarantee that we won't be betting one favorite as they are basically worthless at the beginning of the year. We have been lucky enough to have been able to cap dogs to where they win 50% of the time in the past three years. FYI, last year we went 186-186 with the dogs which translated into a large profit +26.23u. In addition, our totals were at 60% and showed a good profit too. These were derived capping the umpires however we will be doing our totals a little bit different this year expecting even better results.

**16kredit** · 03-24-15, 07:42 AM

Do you know what was your largest/longest losing period? or how many units. For example -10 units for the worst week.
Im asking this to calculate my new average unit size for this season.

Hi, 16credit, that's really a good question. Last year the most we ever lost was eight in a row going into the All-Star break. But immediately after that we turned around and won nine in a row. But we did drop some units in July for sure. Personally we recommend that you bet no more than 2% of your bankroll per bet. Also, we strongly recommend you bet them all. Although some of these dogs just look terrible, these are the ones that seem to cash half the time. We have learned not to drop any. This year we will take a little time off at the break, just a very volatile time for these dogs.

Welcome aboard. Develop a game plan and stick by your guns. We are gonna cash on half of these dogs, we just don't know which half.

**16kredit** · 03-24-15, 10:58 AM

thank you mate, appreciate it. Yea I learned it the hard way, plays you dislike are the ones that hit and plays you are trusting break your heart. Going to stick to your plays and ride till end.
