Does anyone ever bet +1.5's???

[HoulihansTX]

Its a rarity that I ever ask someone what the bet, and the say "(Insert Team Name) +1.5".

Those +1.5 are great when you can get low odds on them, when the better pitcher is the Dog.

I took these two on the Overnights

Nationals +1.5 -120

Scrubbies +1.5 -125

[southpaw74]

Not a bad bet...especially since lines just jumped down to -179 for braves

[obamaismyuncle]

wash +1.5 for myself also, love it..

[Wilforth]

Why are you taking Nats +1.5? Do you see the Braves winning by 1 run or the Nats losing by 1 run? This game will be decided by more than 1 run. If you like the Nats, muster the courage to do Nats ML. I personally expect Nats RRL to cash here.

[FR3SH like UgHH]

had marlins +1.5 last night

[landers781]

I also take +1.5 when the money is also + money. I seem to do pretty great with those. That is usually when the favorite is like -250 or so

[RiverRaid]

I also played the Nationals today. GL

[slimpickins]

I am sure you can be successfully with it, but I personally haven't had any luck.
Lost everytime I try to pull one off, think I won one of them and it was a game the underdog won big so it was not needed.

Think it works best when the game has more importance to both teams as 1 run games occur often in those type of scenerios.
Rather than the expected blowouts where in most cases if the favorite wins they win bug, but what I know I haven't had luck with +1.5's.

[Lion4Life]

Like the Nats today, good luck.

[obamaismyuncle]

Cubs +1.5 is a very good play as well..

[goblue12]

Those are the only sides that usually have value.

-1.5 is a ginormous sucker bet.

[sweethook]

i think you have a good ticket sir,

[Bostongambler]

I always take the 1.5's. It is hard enough to win a baseball game, let alone win by 2 runs. I say take the 1.5.

[Power Play]

I personally like to play + dogs straight up without the +1.5 RL. If sound money management is used I think it could be more profitable long term. I didn't do any studies or anything but I think there may be seasons where if you take all dogs blind in baseball same unit wagers for the entire season and WIN money. If you blind bet all favorites you'll be in the poor house within 2 weeks (if not sooner). Makes sense because the public wants to win a given wager NOW (with a large, all-in type wager on favorites) as oppose to grind dogs for profit long term so the lines have to inflated for favorites in general to compensate. If it wasn't for the juice betting all dogs will definitely land you in the penthouse.

Cubs +1.5 is a very good play as well..

Cubs are definately worth a shot today Zambrano has been unbelievable lately

[landers781]

ended up taking the marlins +1.5 +120...lets see how it works out

[HoulihansTX]

Nationals +1.5 -120 Scrubbies +1.5 -125

Both win straight up, but I'm not mad that I took them both on the Runline.

I beat the closing line of both. I consider that a win in, and of itself.

[obamaismyuncle]

Nice wins, had both myself

[GELATINOUS CUBE]

yes.
