    Betting Both Sides In Baseball

    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

    July 26th:

    Mets (-1.5) +150
    Cardinals +122 +.22

    Tigers (-1.5) +125
    White Sox +153 +.53

    Mariners +130
    Blue Jays (-1.5) +135 +.35

    Total For 26th = +1.10 units

    July 27th:

    Rays (-1.5) +115
    Royals +124 +.24

    Athletics (-1.5) +165
    Rangers +110 - 2 units

    Blue Jays (-1.5) +125
    Mariners +157 +.57

    Brewers (-1.5) +125
    Astros +148 +.48

    Angels (-1.5) +110
    Orioles +135 +.35

    Reds +118
    Rockies (-1.5) +120 +.20

    Braves +131
    Phillies (-1.5) +145 +.45


    Total For 27th = +.19 units


    July 28th:

    Yankees (-1.5) +125
    Orioles +148 +.48

    Red Sox (-1.5) +125
    Angels +153 +.53

    Total For 28th = +1.01 units

    July 29th:

    White Sox +113
    Twins (-1.5) +155 -2 units

    Marlins +124
    Mets (-1.5) +115 +.15

    Rockies (-1.5) +115
    Pirates +118 +.18

    Braves (-1.5) +160
    Cardinals +114 +.14

    Red Sox (-1.5) +165
    Angels +112 +.12

    Total For 29th = -1.41 units

    July 30th:

    Nationals +121
    Phillies (-1.5) +120 +.20

    Indians (-1.5) +130
    Tigers +144 +.44

    Total For 30th = +.64 units

    July 31st:

    Cardinals (-1.5) +120
    Braves +117 +.17

    Yankees (-1.5) +120
    Angels +157 +.57

    Rockies +115
    Marlins (-1.5) +165 +.65

    Total For 31st = +1.39 units

    August 1st:

    Royals +126
    White Sox (-1.5) +115 +.15

    Mariners (-1.5) +170
    Orioles +111 +.11

    Indians +144
    Twins (-1.5) +120 +.20

    Braves +110
    Brewers (-1.5) +125 +.25

    Total For 1st = +.71 units

    August 2nd

    Angels +123
    Yankees (-1.5) +140 +.40

    White Sox (-1.5) +110
    Royals +134 +.34

    Rockies +154
    Marlins (-1.5) +115 +.15

    Reds +110
    Nationals (-1.5) +170 +.70

    Indians +158 +.58
    Twins (-1.5) +115

    Total for the 2nd = +2.17 units

    In this time span I have a winner in 28 of the 30 games with an addition of +6.30 units to the bankroll this week. I'm going to run this as long as it continues working.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
