Run line vs. Money Line

[sharlataans]

How often do you choose run line over money line? How do you decide?

And what is your conclusion?

[Toples]

run line=more juice, no actual motivation for teams ,
but if you do remember:
home favs get bigger runline odds and are more profitable taken on RL than away favs
dogs on RL are no way profitable

if betting ML - its ALL the other way around
Away favs are better than home, and
Dogs are better bet than favs...

so home favs on runline, all others on ML

All good advice. Definitely stay away from the RL when playing any parlays

I only will take the +1.5 mostly for RL. Sometimes I'll play -1.5 when the ML is in the upper 200's or 300's...I don't do plays over -200 anyways for baseball ML.

Good point....laying 1.5 runs for the most part are sucker plays by books to lure the squares in who are scared off by the big juice...only time you do this is -200 plays in a hitters park with a dominent pitcher...play +1.5 in pitchers parks with to excellent pitchers are going and the total around 7...books are thinking one run game 4 to 3

If I go runline on the home team I will only go with the +1.5. The -1.5 has screwed me too many times on the home team with that last at bat. These two scenarios get you the most. Home team winning by one run going into the ninth chances are you will lose. The one I really hate is when game is tied going into the ninth. Home team needs only one run to win. The only way you win this one is if the home team hits a 2 run homer. That Sucks!

Very rarely RL... just not worth it...

i will go runline only if the ML is >170....i try to rarely play the runline anymore as they usually end in heartbreak. def try and stay away from home team runlines if you can, since you really are only getting 8 inn out of the offense....
