          Almost willing to offer $100 to any of these posters... to post all your plays.... NO LIVE WAGERING.... and show me that you're PLUS at the end of the year...

          I guarantee you I'll still have my $100 in my pocket.

              A 25 sample size is nothing. At one bet a day, call it 180 bets in a year, you would need to do this for like 10 years to have a decent sample size to know for sure.

              Rkelly110 is a good dude. I hope he continues to win. But I doubt laying the largest favorite less than -200 each day is the holy grail and will profit long term. I would never tell anyone how to bet their money.

                I finished +93 units here in the forum two years ago and in a bad year last season, still managed to finish +5. Entered today -1 unit this season, let's see how the rest of the year goes.

                  waterstpub i agree one shouldnt pick games just by odds comparison to other games played that day i think its in the line for resullts to even out eventually by the end of the season - i was just surprised there hasnt been more upsets - i bet houston under 4.5 runs yesterday and houston totally blew the game3-6 - glanced at who was the fav at -180

                    Thanks man. I do have 5 years of records. MLB is consistently over 60%

                    It's not all fun and games. While this month is doing good, last month sucked. 13-16

                      rkelly - dont u think 60 percent is a bit too low hit percetntage for the biggest fav of the day?

                                  I put myself out there. Where are your strategies? I'm plus units, have been the last 5 years in MLB.
                                  What do you got? Put up or shut up. Simple.

                                      At -222, a bettor needs to hit about 69% of the bets to break even. If that price is a minimum, you’re breakeven is much higher than the percentages above.

                                      This seems to be a losing proposition, or am I missing something?

                                      Keep an eye on break even points when betting moneylines, win percentages are near meaningless.

                                      Listen to this guy and listen closely. He is one of the very few that knows how to win long term.

                                            Yeah, that's why I have a group and you're still stuck on here writing essays, giving out losers while saying "I was on the right side though, the stats told me so", and porking that grotesque pig of a wife.
                                            Truth hurts brother.
