Reverend's 2010 MLB

[reverend]

do you have any games left for today? i am new to the site trying to see what everyone does and how they play. i usually do not play this early but seems alot of people have some good sytems.

I dont have any other plays for today.

I will say that I am very tempted to play the Braves though. Tommy Hanson is an absolute stud. I think they will get the series sweep today at home. That would be my biggest lean for the games remaining today.

[reverend]

Started out smokin'. Good luck the rest of the season!

Thanks! As of now, we are off to an 8-0 start. I really believe this is going to be a special season. After putting in countless hours in the fall and winter into research, I think we will have a very productive year. Hope you can follow along with us.

The Twins had everything in place to make a very solid run this year. It's sad to see Nathan go down.

I agree with you. I hated to see Nathan go down. He was is such a great closer

[reverend]

Wait til Friday and do a "chase" with Detroit vs Cleavland, and BOSTON @ Kansas City

ngates brings up a great point that i will expound upon when i do my big "system post" in the next day or so.

i feel like i even stretched it a little farther than i should have these first few days of the season, but thankfully we are sitting at 8-0. there are going to be 150+ very solid series plays this season. if you are patient and disciplined, with the bankroll progression i will be playing, that is more than enough games to show huge profits this season. basically, dont feel like you have to have action down at all times. sit back and breath. we have 5 months of this!

April 8:

(B) Bet: Dodgers (ML) 4.12 Units to win 2.59 Units

I will be playing 2 systems this season. I have not outlined them in this thread yet, but I will be doing that over the weekend when I get some free time. I have put in alot of research in over the offseason, and am very confident of what will be played in this thread this season.

8-0 start is a great way to begin the season

[Texas]

so the games on page 2 are the plays for tomorrow? it took everything in my power not to play phillies. money came in hard 20 minutes prior. moved line fron 135 to 160. we will see.

Take a look at that, i believe Reverends systems are somewhat the same. Play the GOOD home teams against below average teams/away teams, then play the GOOD teams/road teams against less than average home teams. Bet to win each game 1 unit, so if you lose the first game, you have to wager more, to make up what you bet the first game, and to still win a UNIT on top of that.

You do need to have somewhat of a big bankroll to do this, since you will be betting 3 or 4 series at one time, and if they lost the first game you'll be throwing more money down.

April 9:

(A) Bet: Detroit (ML) 1.41 Units to win 1 Unit

(A) Bet: Colorado (ML) 1.67 Units to win 1 Unit

(A) Bet: Philadelphia (ML) 1.53 Units to win 1 Unit

(A) Bet: Arizona (ML) 1.3 Units to win 1 Unit

(C) Bet: Boston (ML) 4.21 Units to win 2.9 Units

[reverend]

I considered playing:

San Fran
Baltimore
Mets
White Sox
Angels

But that is too many games this early in the season, so I singled out the 5 I like best. But I do feel like the these 5 will be profitable as well.

[Grosshhit]

nice good luck this weekend reverend. i am going add the mets. nats are bush league

[Edge29]

I think I'm going to start playing some of these with you, Rev, and maybe picking a few of my own. The more I get to know the system the more intrigued I get, and it looks like it has a lot of potential. Going to have to play it with very small units to be able to handle a chase though. I look forward to your bankroll management thoughts for this system.

If you hadn't ended up in your somewhat weird situation with Boston (as in, if you were starting fresh like me) you would probably be starting a new play with them against KC, right? I'm thinking I'll play that plus your other four, and add Baltimore in for good measure. Let's start this weekend off right.

You are correct. I was getting a little greedy trying to squeeze a 2nd win out of the Boston/Yankee series. But yes, if that was not the case, I would have a normal A bet on the Boston/KC series today.

I'm on 'em with you Rev...

[rolltide10]

sorry rev new to your thread, followed system some late last season but its tough for me to chase. This is probably a dumba$$ ? but your "a" bet is strongest and "B" and "C" go down correct? JUst wondering why more units were placed on a "C" bet or if I have system wrong. Thanks

[timmyboy34243]

a = 1st bet for...
b = 2nd bet for...
c = 3rd bet for...
etc.....

[Edge29]

I think you misunderstand, rolltide.

"A" bet means its the first bet of a new chase. In this case that means it's the first game of a 3 game series over the weekend. If the chosen team wins today's game then the system play is considered a win. If they lose, he will have a "B" bet tomorrow, where he will have to make back the amount lost on today's bet plus the intended 1 unit profit (or 1.5 in the case of Arizona).

Make more sense? It's not about confidence, it's about increasing a bit size to still make a profit on the chase.

good to see we are on the same page again


Arizona is the only one I haven't played yet, but they were next on the list to look at and the final one I had highlighted. Will prolly be on them too

another 1st game win with DET


If anyone is following this one or any others like it, don't get too over confident because of the good start and jack your bets way up right off the bat. We have had it too easy so far. We will be chasing some of these shortly so be prepared.

[reverend]

exactly as edge29 said

[reverend]

Detroit was a nice early game winner for us today

Great start to the weekend

[jolmscheid]

Hey Rev...I think I have asked you before, but are you playing these chases on the ML or the -1.5 RL or the -1 RL? Thanks!!

[khaden]

Hey rev--first nice job on det love when the a bet hits! What are the teams you are playing in this system? The teams have gotten somewhat lost in all the threads and Stingy has been MIA this week. Thanks

[reverend]

nice 2-0 start to our friday

[reverend]

Hey Rev...I think I have asked you before, but are you playing these chases on the ML or the -1.5 RL or the -1 RL? Thanks!!

I list how I am playing these games in the posts where I make my picks. So far I have played 1 on the -1RL and the rest on the ML. This will change from time to time, just based on my research.

I have gotten this question from a number of people. I must apologize that I have had company the last few days and have not had time to thoroughly outline my systems, strategies, and money management systems. I will probably get to this on Monday. Until then, just try and bare with me and follow the plays if you feel comfortable with them. We are off to a 10-0 start with 3 plays pending for tonight.

No problem I just wanted to make sure I was on the same page. We are off to a great start almost every play has been hitting on the A bet

[reverend]

For those not already on this play, I really like Arizona tonight!

[reverend]

I am laying off the Angels tonight. I do not like the pitching matchup. I am hoping they lose this first game, and then I will look to chase the next 2 home games.

[IWinMyBets]

Great calls today Rev. I played the Angels before I left for work this morning. But I'll play the "B" and "C" on them Sat and Sun if needed. That game isn't over yet, and we all know that anything can happen.

[Cosmo213]

Looks like you're going 4-1 tonight, good job!

I followed your picks today since stingy was a no-show. Good call on skipping the Angels too.

[khaden]

Excellent day-

Det-A bet-w
Phils-A bet- w
Rockies-A bet- w
Giants-A bet-w
Mets-A bet-w
AZona-A bet-pending
Angels-A bet-pending--I already had this in before I read your post earlier--which I don't mind because with all the A bets hitting this will looks like it might give me some action on Sat.
