It's money time!

JBT · 03-30-11, 08:45 PM

Playing them straight or using a system / chase?

Jimbo42 · 03-30-11, 08:53 PM

My plays will mostly consist of 1unit-8unit with a few 10 or 12 unit occasional plays... I play units at 2% of BR...keeping the unit as a standard value..at 50u we will have doubled our roll

Take as long as you need to get a feel then come out pounding hard

No need to be tossing a coin this first week...

clamchowder · 03-31-11, 10:49 PM

Jimbo, this is my first season play MLB in this forum. I was looking for someone to tail and roagbettor told me that you were money last season. Hoping to rock the bookie this season with you. Let's do it!

LucyTheApe · 03-31-11, 11:27 PM

Good luck this season!

Jimbo42 · 04-01-11, 04:57 AM

Thanks ya'll!

Friday, April 1

No Plays

Don't worry folks, within a week, ya'll will be saying.. "is there a game he DOESN'T like"
I play volume. But for now, I am letting some situations and flow develop.

tokio · 04-02-11, 08:15 AM

cant wait homie. you were very good last year if i remember correctly.

RoagBettor · 04-02-11, 08:38 AM

We want plays, we want plays, we want plays...

flyer1179 · 04-02-11, 08:47 AM

Seriously! How dare you make us wait! Plays! Now!

In all seriousness, looking forward to your thread getting in full gear. This is my first year betting baseball, and I'll be following your thread for sure. BOL on a great season!!!

clamchowder · 04-02-11, 10:52 PM

Patience is priceless.

Going to put my toe in the water this morning...

It's a marathon homies and I play alot of plays on a daily basis...so unit sizing is critical...make it small so that you can handle some of the bigger plays when they come around...

Its not always the picks that I make, it is the way that I bet them... I will hit certain plays harder when my edge is stronger so plays must be played in the manner in which I bet them or you will not profit the same as I do...

New York Yankees (-166) 1.66 units to win 1.00 unit

San Francisco Giants (+129) 2.00 units to win 2.58 units

Texas Rangers (+126) 2.00 units to win 2.52 units

San Diego Padres (+153) 1.00 units to win 1.53 units

pokerpro44 · 04-03-11, 09:43 AM

i played them all.good luck.

RoagBettor · 04-03-11, 09:49 AM

Let's get this party started!

JBT · 04-03-11, 09:55 AM

How do you suggest we should tail? Risking the same amount of units or "to win" the same amount of units, assuming we don't get the same lines as you do (different books, different times of day)? Thanks and good luck!

PS: I take it you play listed pitchers?

Risk the amount that i risk on dogs....
Risk to win on favs...

So for instance if I have a fav..(-130) and i bet it 1.30 to win 1.00
And you get (-125) you bet 1.25 to win 1.00

With a dog...if i get +150 and bet 2.00 units to win 3.00
and you get (+145) you would bet 2.00 units to win 2.90

In general, you will end up getting better lines than myself as I normally post very early in the morning, which gives you the ability to search for the better line...

noles79 · 04-03-11, 10:27 AM

gonna play these let's get it.

JBT · 04-03-11, 10:29 AM

Makes sense man, thanks. Surprised at all the dogs you took, not something you see much around here - I like it. Do you play RL's as well or do you prefer sides?

noles79 · 04-03-11, 10:36 AM

these are betting them straight wagers or you parlay these?

JBT · 04-03-11, 10:42 AM

Straight obviously, that's why he tells you the amount to bet on each.

noles79 · 04-03-11, 10:43 AM

gotcha

JBT · 04-03-11, 11:38 AM

Noles, keep in mind that you should adjust the amount you bet on these plays depending on your bankroll. Jimbo suggest that we divide our bankroll by 50, the amount you get is to be considered 1 unit (2% of your entire roll). So if you have $200 in your betting account, then 1 unit equals $4 and you should bet accordingly. Where he says it's a 1 unit play you bet $4, 2 unit plays will therefore be $8 (2 x $4), 1.5 unit plays $6 etc. You need to keep the same bet proportions as he does in order to achieve the same results...

We are still extremely early into the season so make sure you don't bet more than you can afford to loose.

noles79 · 04-03-11, 11:49 AM

thanks jbt for the info yeah i got a small bankroll. i did do a 3 team chi ws/yanks/bluejays $25 on it. but i will bet like that was looking around for the units and you told me so thanks again still learning the lingo. bol to everyone

HustleGetPaid · 04-03-11, 01:36 PM

Missed the other plays on the Giants ML +128, Risk $20 to win $25.60...

clamchowder · 04-03-11, 01:53 PM

Jimbo, how much is 1 unit to you?
