I read the excel file, but i'm still a bit confused. Sorry i'm fairly new to baseball betting. Any chance you could help explain to me? Thanks!

It depends on the book your using.

Look under Alternate lines or on 5 Dimes there's a Pull Down Scroll.

BE SURE TO USE THE ONE CALLED RL CALC, NOT -1rl_calculator. It is a lot more detailed and easier to understand.

basically what you are doing is RISKING on the -1.5 runline the same amount you are betting to WIN on the money line

so if the team wins by 1 you win the ML play and lose the -1.5 play. Since the win amount on the ML is the same as the risk amount on the -1.5 you get a virtual push

if you punch in some different odds on that RL CALC it will make sense. The ML win and RL rlsk will always be the same.

that is a quick summary

hope it helps

Lets start out the week on the positive side!

Seems like this round of series is lots of even matchups with not many "aces" going...

reverend · 05-10-10, 02:28 PM

For those interested...

you have 2 relief pitchers starting today in the Tigers/Yankees game

should be interesting

question about the FAV system. I've been following the forums, just registered so i can start discussing things with you guys.
I am following the FAV system starting today with Boston as an A bet.

If we get to a D bet, and it looses, does this mean the FAV system gets a notch in the L column because we are only chasing to 4 games? If i am incorrect, at what point is it a Loss for the Fav system?

Thank you

steelcity · 05-10-10, 04:16 PM

Perfect explanation balls2wall, I had the same question a few weeks back and did just what you said to figure it out. Glad to see helpful people/posts in here. Keep up the good work Rev love your system.

You are correct. 4 losses in a row on the FAV sys is a loss for the system.

3 in a row on the other systems is a loss.

Please be sure to read the first post of the thread to get a good break down on what is going on.

good luck

AGAMER · 05-10-10, 05:34 PM

I would also like to know what the record breakdown is on each bet, A B C & D

that would be a great donation to the thread...why not go through the whole thread and figure it out...

List the totals you come up with.

Ferrarodc23 · 05-10-10, 05:53 PM

3 starters out for Rockies today. Helton Tolowitzki and Gonzalez.. May be worth a look at the Phils.

Figured the people who have been betting based on this system might have these totals since you guys all take gambling so seriously and are in here so much, but if not, no problem, i dont have the time to it. im going to give this a try nonetheless

VegasPlayer · 05-10-10, 09:25 PM

Boston Foils me again..... 0 runs after the 3rd, give up 2 to make it a 1 run game.
Could it be???

The Dreaded JM Curse!!!

Jordan23 · 05-10-10, 09:54 PM

Great way to start off the week!

VegasPlayer · 05-10-10, 10:08 PM

Don't worry, The Fave system hits consistently.

Betting Guru · 05-10-10, 11:35 PM

Way to go Boston, great pick REV!!

incomeraise · 05-11-10, 12:27 AM

I have a few potential plays that begin tomorrow with the new round of series. I am finishing up the analysis. I will get them posted as soon as I am done.

The FAV bet will be on the Cardinals.

reverend · 05-11-10, 01:47 AM

I am going to finish up tomorrow morning on the final selections, but the series that are in contention are:

Giants
Cardinals
Twins
Rangers
Royals (If this passes, it will be played for .5 Units only)

*All are the "home" team

dingdongo3 · 05-11-10, 03:22 AM

GL on your plays tomorrow Rev!

canepole · 05-11-10, 07:26 AM

thanks rev

arizona40 · 05-11-10, 08:32 AM

Bad luck on the Boston bet Rev. But a push is better than a loss

aufordboy · 05-11-10, 09:05 AM

Thanks Rev and GL to everyone

mdemps9190 · 05-11-10, 09:10 AM

just wanted to stop in and say I just started reading this and think you're doing a great job. Appreciate it man

InsideKing · 05-11-10, 10:17 AM

Is the FAV system always -1RL or -1.5? I wasnt on Boston but i'm wondering today for the Cardinals

-1 RL saves on the high chalk. You may have a push here and there but it's worth it if they lose.

DDT · 05-11-10, 11:09 AM

I like Giants, Cards and Rangers today, BOL

reverend · 05-11-10, 11:29 AM

Tuesday May 11:

Series System:

A Bet: Rangers (-1 RL) Risking 1.95 Units to Win 1.5 Units

A Bet: Twins (-1 RL) Risking 1.88 Units to Win 1.5 Units

A Bet: Cardinals (-1 RL) Risking 2.59 Units to Win 1.5 Units

A Bet: Giants (ML) Risking 2.23 Units to Win 1.5 Units

FAV System:

A Bet: Cardinals (-1 RL) Risking 2.59 Units to Win 1.5 Units

*I am in the middle of a new money management system on these bets. The Giants is the only game on the ML. If we go to B bets on any games, the "Units to be won" will also be decreased

go chicago go

Ferrarodc23 · 05-11-10, 11:48 AM

QUestion Rev, Minnesota VS Chicago is a 2 game series. Are you taking them to win one of the two games against the Whitesox, or Chasing them for 3 games?
