    Welcome back to the supporters and detractors to the thread. Looking to grind out 30 to 40 units as always. Opposing points of view are always welcome.

    Just some rules to make it easier on everyone. Obvious to some, to some maybe not. All selections will be 1 unit unless otherwise noted. Favorites will risk units to win one unit. Underdogs will risk one unit to greater than one unit.

    I will update the running unit count as often as reasonably possible. Pitching changes will cancel play. I will make an effort notify you guys of such based on time permitting.

    We do not chase, hype or whine. We do not play everyday.

    Being a follower of The Contrarian entitles you to an opposing point of view, so have at it.

    Fade the big move

    Last season I created a rules based system thru Bet Labs that yielded positive units with a 25% ROI with a small sample size of 39 plays. The rules based system yielded the following results:

    2018 season: 20-19 +9.89 units 25% ROI (1 unit plays)
    All Time: 179-224 +37.16 units 9% ROI (1 unit plays)

    The parameters are the following:
    the opening moneyline is between -135 and -125;
    the closing moneyline is between -171 and -150

    Big line movement throughout the day where the favorite gets pounded is a great play to fade. The numbers prove that out. For the 2019 MLB season, all FADE THE BIG MOVE selections will be three (3) unit plays.

    This rules based play should make for interesting fodder.

    Today the Contrarian's take home the dough going 3-2 +3.76 units on the day, taking the unit count up a notch. But as I say often times, capping is like golf; It's not how good you hit the good ones, it's how bad you hit the bad ones.



    Rangers +138 (2 units) (W)
    Indians -112 (2 units) (W)
    Indians -1.5 +146 (1 unit) (L)
    Braves +134 (1 unit) (L)
