    Strategy for RL vs ML
    Guys...I am just pissed off. I placed 10 RL bets in the past 3 days and I went 6-4 on it. But if I had just bet ML, I would have gone 9-1......3 of the 4 of my losses came when a team won by 1 run . I am up just 2 units in the past 3 days....if I had just bet ML, I would have been up nearly 7 to 8 units .

    If I am betting underdog, then its fine as you get good line....like I won CWS today . But it pisses me off to pay high juice when I play on favorites. So, I just choose RL. Obviously, this strategy is not working as 1/3 rd of my bets won by 1 run. So, what strategy you guys follow....do u guys bet straight up?....what is the optimal strategy?

        You should stick to the RL over steep ML prices as it should save you money over the long run. It all depends on what type of capper you are. If you have a massive roll then ML's would be preferable but if you are a grinder like most of us on here it's smarter to make low juice bets.

            Why not blend the ML and RL to get a -1?? Then you push when they win by one instead of losing - you would have gone 6-1-3 that way ....lowers your RL payout a bit but way better than playing those chalky ML's...

              Take it as a rough week, keep in mind you said you were up still 2 units, look at it that way, as I'm up for the week and move foward.

                take -1 (no RL -1,5) and if your team will win by 1 game is VOID.
                Thats my strategy. Most profitable than ML and lower losses than RL
