Baseball Wagering Question (runlines)

sherman · Jun 3, 2005

I have never played -/+ 2.5 runs....

Anyone have experience playing these? How have you fared? What have you learned?

Journeyman · Jun 3, 2005

There was a poster last year in baseball (the name escapes me) he was very good at these....his record wasn't good but he was up a good chunk..usually betting -2.5.

Pete: Would you care to elaborate ? I couldn't find MOV prop at Bow for late Milw/ LAD game which goes off soon, but they had it up for some games that already started ! Is it certain games only ? I can probably figure what bet conbos to make myself.

Sherman: I play them a bit -2.5 in conjunction with standard bet. I'd avoid laying it on home team in general.

no I don't play em...

I was dabbling with -1.5 this year and it was killing my profits...:sad3:

JM: Did you distinguish between home/ away ? Maybe sample size was small. I'm liking team totals.

I didn't feel I was getting a good feel for it...so I just quit...yes I was laying -1.5 with home teams...

JM: I wish we could use 5-inning lines and team totals in tracker forum.

Pete: Can you explain please ?

I see Bow has this prop for one game today ( Bos/ SL)

line was MOV over 2.5 -115, under -105. At the same time Pinny was:

SL -2.5 +315
Bos +2.5 -357

I can't work a scalp

If I bet SL -2.5 +315 100/ 315 and

MOV un 2.5 -105 105/ 100

If SL wins by 3+ you win $210, but lose $205 if Boston wins by 3+, other results are a push.

Anybody see a way to get Pete's free money here ?
