That looks good Spank...and are you going to do the ML's on these then?? Or the -1 RL? Thanks...and you said you were going to another +1.5 system or something? Thanks...Here's some points

spankmythighs · 03-08-10, 10:48 PM

As far as system betting goes, I will be doing the home series thing and also doing the RL thing with BAD and BHD.

fastpitch_45 · 03-08-10, 10:48 PM

What are your thoughts on the giants?

spankmythighs · 03-08-10, 10:50 PM

Also the worst teams on the road, betting against them but in the same, they may be the BAD. So you could have a ML bet on the home team they are playing but also have +1.5 RL bet on the away team.

jolmscheid · 03-08-10, 10:50 PM

On the +1.5 RL's on the BAD and the BHD...are those all just straight plays?? NO system right? Thanks again Spank...and are you going to do the system plays AGAINST the bad away teams or are you just gonna stick with the system Home teams...

spankmythighs · 03-08-10, 10:54 PM

The Giants are kind of a bubble team for me. They have played well at home in the past but their away record last year has me wondering. Technically you could probably play 8 top teams, I think and have a pretty good year. You will lose a few here and there but your wins would more than make up for it. Lets say you play 8 teams this year and the total record might be 166-5. You're gonna make money regardless. Just matters how much you bet a unit. For me I like $100 or $200 a unit.

spankmythighs · 03-08-10, 10:56 PM

Ya, I will do away system aswell with the worst teams but not just for the series, all games and any teams they are playing.

spankmythighs · 03-08-10, 10:57 PM

And with the BHD and BAD, that will just be a nightly pick with chases.

jolmscheid · 03-08-10, 10:58 PM

Ok...that sounds good to me Spank...I'm going along with you! Let's have a good season

spankmythighs · 03-08-10, 10:59 PM

I may consider fading all systems and plays by the end of August or early Sept depending on standings. Yes a good season indeed!!

fastpitch_45 · 03-08-10, 11:04 PM

what do you do if you have one of your top 5 home teams playing one of your top 5 worst road teams? double up or stay with one unit?

Maybe go with top 6 and bottom 6. I am looking forward to it.

thanks

Marigold HD · 03-09-10, 05:12 AM

For example: Boston Red Sox at Philly or LAD

Do you skip this one or continue chasing????

hhsilver · 03-09-10, 06:33 AM

thanks for this - looks promising

Be very careful. Betting that much on a chase is one thing... but with these home favs you are going to have a lot of chalk. If you have a series that goes to a third game, you'll be laying a small fortune.

tonyhomo · 03-09-10, 07:46 AM

One bad year will wipe out all of your winnings and more and trust me this year or bad streak is coming

No. If Boston was at Philly you are only concentrating on Philly as they are at home. Pretend they are playing team X, it doesn't matter. You are betting against the home sweep vs ANY team. Good thing in a situation like that is chalk is low or dog in certain pitching matchups.

Good point....thanks

jolmscheid · 03-09-10, 02:32 PM

Alrighty....This is what I am planning on doing this baseball season:

I will play these home teams to win 1 Unit: Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies, and Cardinals
I will play against these away teams to win 1 Unit: Pirates, Nationals, Orioles, and Royals
I will also do the BHD and BAD that Spank does in a chase as well....

Does that sound like a good plan?? And also, if I have a bank of $700, what should be my wager per unit? Thanks for all help

spankmythighs · 03-09-10, 04:02 PM

3% - 5% is my rule of thumb. I don't know what everyone else does. Your plan looks gd to me though. Good luck.

Spank, have you decided definitely on the teams you are going to play and fade? Or are you waiting till it gets closer to regular season?

I will be playing that other system mentioned somewhere too where you bet on the biggest away dog with +1.5 and the biggest home dog +1.5. I did this with hockey and it works quite well for early to mid season in hockey. It would probably work better all season with baseball.

Spank, have you ever played this with the MLB in the past? Do you have any win/loss records for this? I am also interested in this system.

spankmythighs · 03-09-10, 05:53 PM

Nope but this year I will. I have done it with other sports like CBB and NBA too. I like it early in the season. Tougher as the year goes on it seems from some guys that have done it in the past.

spankmythighs · 03-09-10, 05:57 PM

Actually come to think of it, I bet -1.5 in hockey. Betting on the BHF and BAF. The odds were great. Made lots on the Caps. You could do this on Partybets.com. You could bet on either team and go -1.5 on both or +1.5 on both.

spankmythighs · 03-09-10, 06:01 PM

Negative, but I know some who have done well. I actually was betting -1.5 on BHF and BAF. Made some gd coin on the Caps at home and the Sharks.

StewiE · 03-10-10, 06:51 AM

when using this system with home series, do you raise your bet if the first game is a loss? and with how much? double?

Stealinhome · 03-10-10, 09:57 AM

Just a thought but any one look at playing a chase where you bet on a +500 team on the RD vs a -500 team seems like you would work any thoughts?

jolmscheid · 03-10-10, 11:55 AM

Stealin...I've been doing something kinda like that for the NBA where I play ON a +.500 team in a 3-game chase when they are playing 3 games in a row at home or on the road, and I play AGAINST -.500 teams ATS....I just started it a week ago and I am 10-1 on the 3 game chase...the 1 loss was -7 units, so I am up 3 units...I don't know if it would work in baseball too?

fastpitch_45 · 03-11-10, 11:08 PM

Planning on playing against
1. Pirates
2. Indians
3. Nationals
4. Blue Jays
5. Padres

LarryF · 03-12-10, 08:25 AM

Spank, this sounds good, I don't mind a martingale as long as I manage my roll. Looking forward to this!
