NEVER taking RL ever again

[Sunde91]

4 team parlay just got FUKED by STL not covering against the Houston FUKING Astros at home...2-1. Only needed STL and it was cash.







But then the thinking still is that if you're going to lay 250 chalk, you might as well just take the RL because they will probably win by more than one...250 is just a shit load. 80%+ of the time RL is cash with that much chalk...

So do you guys lay the chalk, RL, or stay away from such plays.

[PAULYPOKER]

Counting on a parlay to cover is your first mistake

[Sunde91]

"Counting"? Parlays can and have been extremely profitable, talking 3-5 teamer. Often times your bank roll will just stagnate trading losses/wins and parlays can really give a burst.

[Raven66]

I never play RuneLines.

[teaserpleaser]

yeah that shit was weak at least under came in

[suicidekings]

If you have the option, look at the RL-1 instead of the RL-1.5.

[starfire]

I feel u, stl rl was my last leg of a 5 gamer. lol

[peeiempee]

I did too god damn holladay

[PAULYPOKER]

I like RL myself only -1.5 though

i think if that was your last play and ur other 3 had already hit..u should have put a small wager on astros RL just to be safe....but uhh i got beat today on that game too, i went cards RL for my regular wager then i put a smaller bet on cards -2.5 lol the only play i didnt play was the cards ML and it costed me a bit lol win some lose some..what can you do...more often than not the RL will cover in spots like that imo ...better luck or should i say More Runs next time lol

[Sunde91]

Would have, but it was SF and then STL, FLA, and TEX started within a hour of eachother.

[orangeheaven]

Think everyone went STL RL today.

[PAULYPOKER]

I did not play this game because of the national spotlight factor strange is the norm on these games actually I almost took the Astros ML

[krk1030]

I never use rl's with big favorites. I'll use them occasionally when i think it will be an easy win and can get like +140 with them.

[LT Profits]

Never say never.

Just remember that it is harder to cover -1.5 with a home team, so I would want nice + odds to play those.

[PAULYPOKER]

Wow this thread most likely confused the living shit out of those looking for advice

[Shortstop]

Run Lines are the devil...

[AnotherLoan]

Did anyone win that bet this game? I took the over and obviously lost. 3 runs in the first inning and not another run the rest of the game. Awesome.

[mitote]

Run Lines are the devil...

Run Lines with home teams are the devil!

[PAULYPOKER]

You know that's what they say opinions are like assholes everybody has one

[superjeff24]

I took a few RL's today with success, lost the StL one too. Seriously Parlays are suckers. Why do you think they have a Sports Select in every gas station, grocery store and nook and cranny imaginable? because you can profit on them? I used to play sports select, making 3 team parlays on really solid games. I was like 50 bucks up after about 10, but eventually you come out behind. trust me

[PAULYPOKER]

I now am convince there is enough info in this thread to write a book, only thing is it would be the book of revelations

I had the Cardinals ML, couldn't believe I was sweatin' it out in the 8th inning when the 'Stros had the bases juiced.

Myers threw a helluva game, tough luck loser tonight facing an even better performance from Penny.

[ryanspeer2001]

I'm a big fan of RL but they bang you out so often.

[Patrickz0rs]

Astros +1.5 @ +120 was the play.

Same tomorrow but with a little Astros ML.

[Extra Innings]

Parlays are NOT profitable. You would have been 3-1 tonight

[pat venditto]

Stros should have not been a +210 dog. Thats madness for the mlb early in the season. I don't care how bad they are playing. It's not like halladay was pitching it was bloody brad penny.

[Kav]

STL fukked me hard today, i remember sitting infront of my comptuer for a good 5-10minutes thinking if i should of layed the chalk or just take the RL, sadly i picked the wrong side today. stupid fukkin cardinals they had a good chance in the 7th to put in that insurance run but they fukked up.

[robert_wrath]

Parlaying against a 4 game/line wagers regularly, you should be used to the loss swings. Best strategy on MLB parlays, wager 1-3 times the minimum bet. Spread you money thru out multiple games. ***Bare in mind, a substantial bankroll is required for you shall lose money. ***

Here's a table to follow (upon 4 games):
** First Set - Individual Games **
1st Bet - Team A
2nd Bet - Team B
3rd Bet - Team C
4th Bet - Team D
**Second Set of Bets 2 Games Each **
5th Bet - A / B
6th Bet - A / C
7th Bet - A / D
8th Bet - B / C
9th Bet - B /D
10th Bet - C / D
** Third Set of Bets 3 Games **
11th Bet - A / B / C
12th Bet - A / B / D
13th Bet - A / C / D
14th Bet - B / C / D
** All Games in 1 **
15th Bet - A / B / C / D

[pat venditto]

Fade the cardinals.

[Maddhatter]

Parleys are hard enough IMO. I would've chosen the ML in the parley or Astros +1.5. If betting st8 up, Astros +1.5, Atros ML, or StL RL. With that said, I am riding the Astros fade train til it stops on the ML.

[Pride]

If I play the RL on a home team it better be great odds.

[Kav]

alright! i just took the cardinals RL again tomorrow, it better friggin hit this time!

[pat venditto]

Astros have to win sooner or later man.
