Betting Both Sides In Baseball

[Mr KLC]

Last week on July 26th, I posted in the THINK TANK section that I found a trend in playing both sides:

Using this system for the last 15 days, with games that started with point lines of 9 and 9.5, I came up with the following stats:

(59 games total)

Underdog won 30 times
Favorite -1 1/2 won 25 times
Favorite won by 1 run 4 times

That's 55 out of 59 contests that a profit was made.

It was suggested that I provide the lines of each game to show the real profit, if any, using this system. Well I went ahead and started using the system on 7/25. I only bet games that would yield at least +110 on both sides just for the fact that I didn't want to risk 2 units to win something like .03 units. Here are the results (Winners are in italics with daily totals in bold type):

July 25th:

Brewers (1.5) +120
Astros +150 +.50

Total For 25th = +.50 units

Don't get upset or anything, but you are absolutely wasting your time with this system of yours.

Ask yourself one question: Am I the first person to ever think up a system where I play the favorite -1.5 and the underdog and hope the favorite does not win by a single run?

This is one of the biggest failing systems you will find in MLB, and everyone and i mean everyone has thought of this.

Good luck....

It will work, the thing is you have to be betting a lot of money for it to be worth your while.

It will work, the thing is you have to be betting a lot of money for it to be worth your while.

Actually, it WON'T work in the long run if his only filter is games with totals of 9-9.5. The books are not that stupid. That is not to say that it won't work if we find another filter or two.

[cobra_king]

This won't end well.

Good luck tho, hopefully you will get out while you are still up and not after the inevitable slide that will take place.

[BuddyBear]

Notice how he continues to post his plays even after being told that it is a long-term losing proposition. Blind winning systems in baseball don't work dude....

If you want to learn the hard way go for it, but I would listen to the people on here trying to help you.....

I like your system and if you have a big enough bank roll to work with I don't see how you don't make a profit from it.I would keep doing this as long as it works.If it isn't broke don't fix it.

I respect the other gentlemen on here that said it won't work long term. They've been doing this a lot longer than I have, but my bank has improved 88% since I went to this system. One thing I will say is that I'm dropping my percentage of wager to the bank since I'm up that much, just in case the bottom falls out.

i hope you didnt play both sides in the stl philly game

[Mr KLC]

i hope you didnt play both sides in the stl philly game

If I can't get at least +110 on both sides of the bet, I don't touch it. Thank God!!

[ryanXL977]

ah, well then thats not a horrid idea
i have thought of it before. maybe it will work for you if you have enough books

dont bet angels or pads games, they are always one run it seems

[EagesBets]

what about alternate lines.. doggie -1.5... favorite -1.5.... how many games... what percentage.. win by 1?? im sure ud make profit if you had the patience to pick the games of value.. and stay away from shitty nl west games

What are your other filters other than run totals? Ive used your system the past 2 days and am 3 for 3. But you didnt play the Tiger/WSox game (+.25)on tues and the Phils/Marlins game (+.25) yesterday. Both were winners in your system.

I won't play a game if both sides aren't at least +110. I'm 4 for 4 tonight, and will be 5 for 5 depending on the Yankees/Angels game.
