Been keeping track of the ML favorite of the day -222 and lower (1.45 decimal and higher)
in each sport.
MLB went 123-65 from March until Sept 65%
NCAAF went 30-15 from August until November 67%
NFL went 25-16 Sept to Dec 61%
NHL from Oct to Dec went 59-27 67%
NBA from Oct to Dec went 49-22 69%
NCAAB from Nov to Dec went 35-22 61%
Been keeping track of this for a few years now with similar results.
I did all the capping crap before seeing this and thought I'd give it a try. My life is a lot easier now.
About 1/2 hour before game time, go to my book, look for the fav of the day using the minimums
above and bet. Let the books work for you.
