          I am not sure how you calculate total money win or lost but can you check this again:

          I was 21-20 on Thursday and at ($-90) then lost two in a row at (-110) each. I am assuming every bet we place here is $100. So I should be at (-$290) total and at 21-22.

          Why am I at -$330 instead?
          You lost juice, thus your betting $110 to win a $100. Not a $100 to win $90. Hence why your at -$330.

            Also, with baseball ml i would also institute a chalk level like we have here. we don't need people that can pick the Yankess -240??? Agreed?


            I say something in the range of -150-180 tops for chalk. I would prefer -150 as this would show some real skill and lead to better capping and more value. Me personally I rarely bet anything over -150 and would prefer to play more short priced favs and ml dogs. Baseball, is a great sport to bet on as we can finish below 50% and still make money if you are getting value.
            Excellent suggestions, have removed Units wagered and have set the cap to 1 Unit. As inregards to cap size bets, keep in mind they are taking the risk, thus if they bet the -240 and they lose, they will lose $240 to try to make that $100. Hence, it will reflect on there total.

              i also dont like that people can buy pts in this thing.....
              There will be no buying points in MLB and I will be only accepting OVER / UNDER PLAYS, Margin spread plays and ML plays. This will be set on opening day which is coming soon.

                I don't think there is such thing as points buying in MLB. I think he was referring to NBA on that comment.

                  In Australia, you can buy runs on the margin up to a maximum of 3.5 runs.

I think there are probably some -200s each day like against Nationals, Pirates, Padres, Royals etc, but with baseball chalk really burns you, which is why I don't think there should be a cap. You won't be ahead going -200 all the time.
                                                i know how high moneylines normally are and there was much higher then -300 on some occasion.

                                                i dont like idea of not having a cap on the moneyline....i think it s/b around -180. just my opinion...

                                                    what about the run line?

                                                    to make it easy...whatever you can find a line for in sbr you can bet.

                                                      I was 21-20 on Thursday and at ($-90) then lost two in a row at (-110) each. I am assuming every bet we place here is $100. So I should be at (-$290) total and at 21-22.

                                                      Why am I at -$330 instead?
                                                      Apologise you should be at -$320. Your last 3 games were losses and you lost a total of -$330.
                                                      You played

                                                        Run line is margin spread play. Apologise for the different use of terms.

                                                          it looks like the mlb best bet thread will have lots of issues.

                                                          keep it simple

                                                          totals of course

                                                          ask posters when they put up there play to cut and paste the line from sbr odds

                                                            Excellent rules suggestions, I will use all of them except for play size cap bet. I will have no limit on it as again, they are taking the risk and this will reflect on there overall bank roll total. In addition, I dont see many people taking that risk often but at this stage all these rules apply mentioned by lakerboy. The time stamp was going to be added and thanks for doing the homework for me.

                                                                  I know how high moneylines are as well. There was never a line -400. I just pointed out there was lines over -300, but it is not every day there is a -300 line. I know the highest ones when the Yankees played the Nationals as far as last year goes. They lost two of those games. That would be around -7 units if you had those two losses. Thats why I dont think it matters what kind of price you play with. Betting the high favorites all the time will put you in the red.

Just make a post about starting a best bet thread and what it will contain and check for feedback. It may catch more attention there than in here.
