Run Line vs. Money Line

[BigDog]

Instead of making $100.00 wagers on the favorites, I will split it between the Money Line and the Run Line. We'll see where this takes me. I will not track the games I loose outright...in that I am only interested in seeing the benefits of betting the RL vs. ML.

Be right back with a few picks.

 

[BigDog]

Money Lines
STL -150 $50.00 to win $33.33
OAK -174 $50.00 to win $28.74
ATL -154 $50.00 to win $32.47
LAD -210 $50.00 to win $23.81

Run Lines (-1.5)
STL +120 $50.00 to win $60.00
OAK +100 $50.00 to win $50.00
ATL +130 $50.00 to win $65.00
LAD -105 $50.00 to win $46.72

With the RL, I can go 2-2 without much damage and maybe even squeak a small profit. With the ML, if I go 3-1 I would gain $44.54. That's risking $150.00 Hell, You may as well play a parlay and risk only $20.00 and if the four-team parlay comes in you'd make a heck of a lot more money. Let's try these tonight.

Good luck and as always, your constructive feedback is welcomed.

Big Dog,
Am i missing something if you win your first 3 plays that would give you a profit of 44.54 !!!
Please let me know start out -200 and win 244.54 regardless of what happens with the Braves

I stand corrected...you are right. 3 games will give you a win of $44.54. You need 3-1 or better.

Sorry...and thanks for catching my error.
