I posted this for you in my thread... but after thinking about it, i figured I would post it in here as well just in case it can help anyone else. If you would like to further discuss it, visit my thread and I would be happy to: http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/baseball-b...iness-p24.html


To create a -1RL, you need to make two separate bets..all you need to do is bet TO WIN the same amount on the ML as you bet TO WIN on the RL.

For example, tonight I created the -1RL on my toronto blue jays bet. The bluejays ML was -200, and their RL was +100. So pretend we want to win $200 on the -1rl (meaning if our team wins by 1, we push):

Bet $100 to win $100 on the Bluejays RL (meaning they need to win by 2+ to win)

Bet $200 to win $100 on the Bluejays ML (meaning they need to just win by 1+ to win this bet)

Together, we are risking $300 to win $200, therefore making the -1RL a -150 bet. If the bluejays win by 1, we win the ml bet (win $100), but lose the RL bet (lose $100).. so therefore its a push. If the bluejays win by 2+, we win both bets and win $200. If the Bluejays straight up lose (like they did ), we lose $300.

Does this make sense?
